Studio2M Opens in SoHo Loft Once Home to Jackie Winsor
In 2026, Abby Caulkins established Studio2M, an artist-focused project space located in a historic SoHo loft that was once home to sculptor Jackie Winsor. The venue preserves elements of its industrial heritage while fostering exhibition-making, artistic production, and creative dialogue. Its first exhibition, titled Ad Hoc, showcases the work of French artist Marie Hazard and Portuguese designer Constança Entrudo, delving into weaving as both a material process and a conceptual medium. The exhibition's name alludes to Winsor's 1992 interview with ArtNews regarding the Ad Hoc Committee of Women Artists. Caulkins, who previously worked with kurimanzutto, aims to emphasize relationships through in-house exhibitions, collaborations, and brand partnerships, prioritizing artists in their creative and professional journeys.
