Art Station Pop-Up Gallery Opens in Chelsea Lukoil Gas Station Featuring Brooklyn Artists
Art Station, a temporary gallery, has launched within a Lukoil gas station located at 239 10th Avenue in West Chelsea, repurposing the convenience store into a space for art exhibitions. Curators Beth Fiore and Rachel Stekson have curated a showcase that includes eleven artists from Brooklyn, such as Dear Derrick, Laura O', M Henry Jones, and perfumer Shannon Campbell. The gallery is open around the clock from September 15th to September 22nd, with clerks serving as guardians of the artwork. The opening night on September 15th drew in traditional gallery visitors, though the majority of attendees are anticipated to be taxi drivers and patrons of the gas station. Artists are required to submit two original pieces along with an additional work priced under $500. Fiore and Stekson aim to host international pop-up events with the backing of Collectrium and sponsorship from Americanflat.
