  • TRAUMWELT (DREAMWORLD) - CLOSING PERFORMANCE

    SATURDAY, APRIL 11TH | 7:00-10:00 PM

    Let’s close Traumwelt with a double performance night and a surprise act for the afterparty.

    Traumwelt (German for “dream world”) is an immersive exhibition and performance series that reimagines the gallery as an evolving interior landscape of flowing textiles, moving projections, living sound, and somatic performance. Curated by Charlotte Müller and presented by Snap Collective, the exhibition brings together international artists working across dance, sound, photography, sculpture, and responsive technology. Together, they explore impermanence, memory, and resilience, weaving a shared thread of fabric, both literal and metaphorical, throughout the installation.

    Snap Collective also presents a curated selection of art books and activations, highlighting the craft and materiality behind each publication. For our closing night, we invite you to dream and let the art move you.

  • FLOCK BY KHARA DEVLIN GILVEY - OPENING RECEPTION

    THURSDAY, APRIL 16TH | 6:00-9:00 PM

    In partnership with Trans Art Fest, a Brooklyn-based festival celebrating the work of trans and gender-expansive artists: Flock, by Khara Devlin Gilvey.

    Khara Devlin Gilvey is a materially sensitive painter of intimate, atmospheric works. In “Flock,” they turn toward close observation - rendering fleeting moments of light, motion, and texture through small-scale images that feel both immediate and fragmentary.

    Composed of forty-eight 3-inch square oil paintings of pigeons in flight, the exhibit unfolds sequentially, forming a dispersed flock that appears to move just ahead of the viewer. Together, the works accumulate into a larger field of motion, a living system that is never fully fixed, only experienced in passing.

    Based in Kingston, NY, Khara Devlin Gilvey has previously exhibited in Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley.

    This event is FREE to the public.

  • SURREALIST COMEDY SHORT FILM SCREENING

    SATURDAY, APRIL 18TH | 7:00-10:00 PM

    Join us at Gallery 198 for an evening of surrealist comedy in short film:

    “The Making of the Making Of” by Fritz Donnelly — a mockumentary whose behind-the-scenes premise gradually spirals into comic collapse.

    “When David Met Jane: A Lynchian Affair” by Hannah Louise Barnard and Amy Catherine Welch — a dreamlike chance encounter that playfully channels the uncanny romance and tonal strangeness associated with the Lynchian universe.

    Doors open at 7:00 PM; presentation at 7:30 PM; DJ dance reception to follow. All ages welcome.

  • PERFECT BROKEN - PERFORMANCE BY RENATA SHEPPARD & ELDAR BARUCH

    THURSDAY, APRIL 23RD & FRIDAY, APRIL 24TH | 7:30-9:00 PM

    SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH | 5:00-6:00 PM (MATINEE/CLOSING RECEPTION)

    Join us for performances with New York–based choreographer Renata Sheppard and musician/composer Eldar Baruch (Tel Aviv), along with dancer Noam Carmeli, sharing a new work-in-progress that merges live movement, drawing, and sound.

    Sheppard’s kinetic drawings expand the idea of dance beyond the body into visual form. During performance, choreography becomes a tool for mark-making: the dancer moves across paper with charcoal, generating large-scale drawings in real time.

    Afterward, select sections of these delicate works are preserved through a bespoke resin process, transforming them into lasting visual art.

    Tickets for all 3 performance dates are available below.
