About
The basic project of art is always to make the world whole, and comprehensible: to restore it to us in all its glory and its occasional nastiness, not through argument, but through feeling; and then to close the gap between you and everything that is not you, and in this way to pass from feeling to meaning. It's not something that committees can do: it's not a task achieved by groups or by movements; but by individuals, each person mediating in some way between a sense of history and an experience of the world. - Robert Hughes 1981
Room was an artist-run gallery showing contemporary art by international New York-based artists. This art-space provided a place for a new relationship between artists and viewers to grow, to foster a context for discussion of art's self-renewing role in our community.
The Covid pandemic brought the curtain down on a 5-year run of great shows. It awaits a new incarnation, perhaps in another town, perhaps another country, In the meantime this website stays live, out of respect for those shows and the artists who made them.
The concept of Room is dedicated to the memory of Robert Hughes; and commits to maintaining his critical legacy.
