Beginning as an online magazine in order to feature the creative work of friends, the collective expanded into a physical art gallery space on Franklin Street in TriBeCa in 2010.
The gallery curates fully immersive exhibitions as well as offering shows to relatively unknown artists with a range of talents including queer, transnational, radical feminist art collective Go!
The Cave was built of cardboard, wheat pasted newsprint covered in India ink drawings, and filled with robotic rats, sculptural stalactites, and a “birthing canal”.
The final show, The ChiBeCa Project[13] by fine art photographer Leah Overstreet inspired yet another real estate subdividing of Lower Manhattan and renaming of the blocks between TriBeCa, Chinatown, and Federal Plaza.
[14] The show consisted of black and white portraits in Cortlandt Alley of the neighborhood's chefs, shoe repairman, and artists including Ross Bleckner, Casey Neistat, and Victor Matthews.
