PIEROGI Brooklyn

Profile

PIEROGI, founded in 1994 by Joe Amrhein, is an artist-run gallery located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn-an area now vital to the larger art community because of its concentration of diverse artists and its innovative gallery scene. Pierogi has monthly solo shows which feature the work of emerging and mid-career artists. The focus is on one-person shows in order to highlight an individual artist's work. The exhibitions cover an eclectic range of media and style-from the performance installations of Ward Shelley , to the panoramic and filmic drawings of Dawn Clements , as well as curated exhibitions such as the award-winning Dead Tree installation (a recreation of the Robert Smithson piece originally installed in Dusseldorf's Kunsthalle, 1969). In February 1999 Pierogi relocated from its original tight quarters to a larger space. There is now a main gallery, an additional smaller gallery, and a separate space for the Flat Files, as well as a video library.
