ABSTRACT : Nicelle Beauchene Gallery is located at 7 Franklin Place in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York. The gallery first opened on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 2008 to promote the work of emerging local and international artists. In December 2012, the gallery relocated to a historic two-story building on Broome Street shared with Jack Hanley, where the two galleries switched exhibition spaces every other show. Beauchene spearheaded this site-specific move to expand upon the Lower East Side's histories of collaboration, cooperation, and flexible exhibition contexts. For several years, the gallery operated an off-site project space staged in an apartment, allowing artists to reconfigure the boundaries of the domestic sphere. Gallery artists include Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Saif Azzuz, Jonathan Baldock, Mary Lee Bendolph, Silas Borsos, Elliott Jerome Brown Jr., Kari Cholnoky, Alex Bradley Cohen, Jennifer Paige Cohen, Louise Despont, the Estate of John Evans, Jordan Kasey, Jim Lee, Panayiotis Loukas, Violeta Maya, Quentin James McCaffrey, James Miller, Lucy Puls, the Gee's Bend Quiltmakers, Eleanor Ray, Daniel Rios Rodriguez, Bruce M. Sherman, Jeni Spota C., Willie Stewart, Alice Tippit, and Chris Wiley.
