Billy Clark and Valerio Polimeno Present '26TH AND 10TH' in Chelsea Loft

exhibition · 2026-05-22

Billy Clark, founder of BILLYCLARK, and curator Valerio Polimeno of _POLIMENO have staged the exhibition '26TH AND 10TH' in Clark's Chelsea loft. The show originated from their meeting in Paris during Art Basel Paris 2025, where Polimeno hosted 'Room with a View' at a penthouse on Avenue Matignon. Clark invited Polimeno to New York, leading to this iteration. The exhibition features works by Tom Wesselmann, Les Lalanne, Nan Goldin, Robert Wilson, Donald Judd, Raymond Pettibon, and Malù Dalla Piccola. Polimeno describes the show as about layers and utopia, using window blinds to create an 'inside window' that focuses on interior rather than the view. The space evokes a cinematic intimacy, referencing 'American Psycho' and 'Rear Window.'
