Dillon Gallery
Dillon Gallery
New York - 487 West 22nd Street - NY 10011
Dillon Gallery is a dynamic and multifaceted contemporary art space located in the heart of Chelsea, New York. Distinct in its vision and approach, the gallery champions a cross-disciplinary program that pushes the boundaries of traditional gallery practice. Rather than confining itself to the familiar narratives of the Western canon, Dillon Gallery engages with global perspectives, offering a platform to artists whose practices transcend geographic and cultural borders.

From its inception, the gallery has embraced a broad spectrum of disciplines, welcoming not only visual artists but also creatives working in architecture, design, music, scent, and theater. This openness has cultivated a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue that continues to set the gallery apart in New York’s competitive art scene. Each exhibition is an invitation to explore the overlap between mediums, where a sensory experience may combine visual, auditory, and spatial elements in unexpected ways.

A particular strength of Dillon Gallery is its commitment to photography, featuring practitioners who blur the lines between documentary, conceptual, and fine art traditions. These artists approach image-making as both a social and aesthetic act, often drawing from a wide range of cultural influences and creating works that resonate far beyond the confines of the art world. Their photography is both technically accomplished and deeply engaged with the complexities of identity, migration, environment, and memory.

By fostering relationships with artists who challenge conventional norms and by embracing underrepresented narratives, Dillon Gallery maintains a vital presence in the contemporary art world. It is a space where innovation meets intention, and where the fusion of art and life is not only encouraged but celebrated. With a program that is both experimental and refined, Dillon Gallery continues to expand the language of contemporary art, offering fresh perspectives that reflect the diverse realities of a changing global landscape.

All About Photo Presents ’Rural Life in the Hudson Valley’ by Susan Anthony
The photographs in this exhibition are part of a project about rural life in the Hudson Valley. For the past five years, I have been taking photographs of individuals and families in upstate New York. Having spent many years as a weekender and homeowner, most of the people I knew were other New Yorkers, and I never had the chance to meet people who grew up in this rural area. During the pandemic, I spent many hours outside with my camera, walking along the road and photographing local residents. Eventually, I decided to create a project about the people I met. Now, as some of these individuals have become friends, I continue to meet others whose families have lived in this area for many generations.
Matthew Arthur Williams:  In Consideration of Our Times
Stills presents an exhibition of new photography by Matthew Arthur Williams. Williams is a Glasgow-based artist who has become known for a visual arts practice that explores themes of race, queerness, memory and history. A key concern that he addresses in his work is the absence of representation and how this can be perpetuated by formal histories and archives.

All About Photo Presents ’The Witching Hour’ by Anastasia Sierra
I become a mother and stop sleeping through the night. Years go by, the child sleeps soundly in his bed but I still wake at every noise. My father comes to live with us and all of a sudden I am a mother to everyone. As I drift off to sleep I can no longer tell my dreams from reality. In one nightmare my father tells me he’s only got two weeks left to live, in another I am late to pick up my son from school and never see him again. I am afraid of monsters, but instead of running, I move towards them: we circle each other until I realize that they are just as afraid of me as I am of them.
Landscape and Alchemy
Landscape and Alchemy brings together the evocative works of Katja Liebmann and Nadezda Nikolova in a contemplative dialogue between place, memory, and photographic transformation. Rooted in early photographic processes, Liebmann’s cyanotypes and Nikolova’s wet plate collodion images transcend straightforward landscape depiction to become meditations on time, perception, and the elemental.
