Microscope is moving to a new 2,000sf semi-raw space, and expanding our Weekly Events Series. This will require a lot of work as well as substantial upgrades of our equipment. Microscope Gallery does essentially two things at once: we operate as a gallery with a regular schedule of exhibitions open five days a week, and alongside we feature a weekly series of events. To date, we have presented 34 art exhibitions and more than 250 events by artists working primarily with film, video, sound, digital art and performance in our current four-hundred-twenty square foot space.  

We are greatly looking forward to the range of new possibilities of a larger space, and hope you are too! Between now and our planned opening this September, there is a lot of work to be done in order to house the Event Series. Please take a moment to review our Indiegogo Campaign at: www.igg.me/at/microscope

As thanks for your support we have selected many great gifts including Event Series Membership opportunities. Donations are tax-deductible through the Event Series Fiscal Sponsor Fractured Atlas.

We hope you will help make our campaign a success by spreading the word personally and through social media. We have only until July 30th to reach our goal!

And thank you for your interest!


 

Microscope Gallery was founded in the autumn of 2010 by artists and curators Andrea Monti and Elle Burchill and is located in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, NY. We present the works of moving image, sound, digital and performance artists - from the emerging to pioneers of their art forms - through exhibitions and weekly events.

The main motivation for starting Microscope was to address what we consider as an unnecessary divide between the white box setting of the gallery and black box of the screening/performance venue. Microscope was conceived as a place where artists working with these time-based arts can show their works in one or the other or both contexts according to their artistic intent.

"Most New York galleries today are scenes where people go to show off their clothing style. Microscope isn’t that. It’s a place you go to learn and concentrate on what’s presented to you.” - Ken Jacobs
