Other of Pearl on Governors Island, NYC

Other of Pearl, Kendler's first solo exhi­bi­tion in New York City, trans­forms the mag­a­zine of Governors Island's Fort Jay into a space for slow explo­ration. Here you will encounter sev­en inti­mate and del­i­cate works, includ­ing a hand­blown glass instru­ment where you can sing in the voice of a whale and pearl sculp­tures grown inside oys­ters. At the con­clu­sion of the exhi­bi­tion, the pearl sculp­tures will be auc­tioned to raise funds to help cre­ate a new oys­ter reef — redis­trib­ut­ing resources in a ges­ture of eco­log­i­cal restora­tion — in part­ner­ship with the Bil­lion Oys­ter Project.

Other of Pearl was featured as a Critic's Notebook pick on the front page of the print New York Times, and covered in Time Out, The Art Newspaper and more.

From June 13th–Nov 3rd, 2024 the exhibition was seen by over 16,000 visitors.
