Perennials: 10 Years of Essex Flowers
Essex Flowers is a cooperative gallery 100% operated, curated, and supported by artists. The gallery was founded in 2013 by nine artists in the basement of the eponymous flower shop at Essex and Grand street at the invitation of Bill Frazer, a local businessman and owner of the flower shop. At the time, some of the founding members were involved with the Occupy Wall Street movement and interested in exploring alter-native gallery models.
In 2015, the gallery moved around the corner to Ludlow Street for a brief stint before relocating in 2016 to its current address, 19 Monroe Street. The 700-square-foot space located in Chinatown was formerly used as offices for a small construction company.
Since its inception the gallery has continued to evolve, adapt, contract and expand in response to the rapidly changing economic, social and political climate of New York City. Each amalgamation of participating artists has created unique alchemical collaborations and formations over the course of the last decade.
