Desnivel Gallery<\/a> opens its latest show this afternoon: HARDWARE<\/a>, a presentation of new enamels by Carmelle Safdie.\u00a0The exhibit takes place at H&W Hardware, 220 First Ave. at 13th Street, part of Desnivel’s ongoing, nomadic series of shows in everyday neighborhood spaces. (The first show in June was staged at Village Gourmet Grocery<\/a> on Second Avenue and Sixth Street.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

The opening is today (Saturday, Sept. 13) from 4-6 p.m., with the work on view through Oct. 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Desnivel Gallery, founded by Maria De Victoria, moved from the basement of her home to East Village storefronts as a way to highlight the financial challenges of running an art space while also making art more accessible to the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By placing art in places like a hardware store or corner market, De Victoria says the gallery aims to integrate art into daily life, much like the neighborhood’s experimental art scene of the 1980s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
