Need I say more than this was a great opening, with great people, and with great (hot) weather? Oh yes, great art. I am truly flattered, blessed, amazed to have such wonderful artists spend time, and share their vision with Ed. Varie. Yes maybe I am a little sentimental, but seriously? You deserve it! and I am honored.

Show is on until July 8th, (with spotty hours due to the holiday), Andrew Long will be gallery sitting on Thursday June 29 2-8 pm, (bid farewell as he heads back to the motherland the following day) and feel free to email us for an appointment, or for additional information about the show. 

And, thank you Opening Ceremony for the write up. Alex’s pics are great, take a look here. xxoo EV

Ed. Varie is pleased to present Between Two States, a two-person exhibition featuring the artwork of Andrew Long and Marc Hundley. Between Two States is collaborative installation that explores a natural dialogue between Long’s photographic-based timber sculptures and Hundley’s works on paper.

The exhibition will be an evocative synthesis of two intimate bodies of work that have an assertive physical presence and yet possess an inherent urge to hide. Long’s sculptures play the role of strangers in a situation set up by Hundley’s lyrical works on paper. A bridge is formed between the personal and the shared, the realized and the unfulfilled, exploring the dual potential in human relationships.

Marc Hundley is an artist based in New York City. Recent exhibitions include Herald St, London; Neon Parc, Melbourne; Team Gallery, New York and Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney. He is represented by Team Gallery, New York.

Andrew Long is an artist based in Melbourne, Australia. Recent exhibitions include Hugo Michell Gallery, Adelaide; Gallery A.S, Sydney and Tolarno Galleries, Melbourne. He is currently studying at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia.

Between Two States Opens on Thursday June 21, with opening reception 6-9 pm.

Hello Everyone,

BIG news and PARTY time, Ed. Varie is now able to accept tax-deductible donations!

As of March 2012, Ed. Varie became a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.

Ed. Varie opened in February 2010 under the guidance and support of artist/creative Karen Schaupeter. An alternative gallery space that began organically as a hypothetical scenario in the art scene in Manhattan, has become an anchor for emerging artists, a home to the contemporary art community; now truly needs the support of our public, our fans, and our friends.

Donations and contributions are vital for Ed. Varie to maintain its platform of open programming, allowing artists to take meaningful and substantial leaps in their practice. This indispensable support will give us the financial strength to stand by our vision and mission to bring artists in the early stages of their career to the large and influential art market in Manhattan, that is historically, and increasingly difficult, for young artists to permeate.

We are appealing to you, our dear friends and family that believe in what we do, and want to see Ed. Varie succeed and continue to be an independent institution for emerging and mid-career artists from all disciplines, and from all parts of the globe, to rally in support and make a donation of any size!

Charitable donations to benefit Ed. Varie must be made in accordance to the program guidelines set forth by Fractured Atlas. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law, and must be made payable to Fractured Atlas.

Donations can be made directly on our project page, https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/contribute/donate/6262

On Thursday June 14th, 6-9 pm we will be hosting a Silent Auction Fundraising Party featuring artwork from Ed. Varie artists and friends, with starting bids very modest! A great way to show your support and collect art, win win y’all. We will also be accepting contributions in person, every little bit counts:) Please come down and show your support!

(Re-blog dudes, please, thanks! love yous!)

We had an amazing time at the 8 Ball Zine Fair on Sunday making a lot of sales and - most importantly - a lot of new FRIENDS. We loved sharing our collection with everyone and turning people on to what we think are many of the best recent titles in small publishing.

Many thanks to Lele Saveri for organizing the event! 

Starting this week, NEW SUMMER HOURS are THURSDAYS 2-8 and SATURDAYS 12-6, and also by appointment.

Come by and take a look through our BOOKS, submit your PUBLICATIONS, and see the GALLERY in person if you haven’t done so already. Some new stock we’ve recently received comes from Pau Wau Publications, Peradam publishing group, Cheap Art America, and Sleeperhold…  See you soon! xoxo EV
