Martha Atienza and Yee I-Lann will be in conversation with art historian Jessamine Batario in The Brooklyn Rail's New Social Environment talk to discuss their solo exhibitions at Silverlens New York and their broader art practice. The event will take place on Zoom on September 27, Tuesday, 1PM EST.

This week, Manila’s Silverlens is set to inaugurate its New York gallery, but ahead of that opening, it commanded space at the Armory Show, where it was showing work by three artists from its roster. The biggest work on view came courtesy of Mit Jai Inn, a Thai painter whose 2019 piece Patchwork runs nearly 18 feet long.

A few blocks south, the Manila-based gallery Silverlens is taking over the former Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery space on West 24th Street while also participating in The Armory Show. The gallery’s co-owners, Rachel Rillo and Isa Lorenzo, say the move was “necessary because artists from our part of the world have almost no representation in New York”.
