WHERE IS THE MOUNT MORRIS PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT?




Harlem Bespoke: The Mount Morris Park Historic District was one of the first neighborhoods uptown to be made an official landmark back in 1971 because the brownstone blocks in Harlem were obviously one of the most majestic to be found in Manhattan.  Seven years ago, the notable district almost doubled in size and so some might be interested in seeing where the modern borders are located.

SHOP: FORMER GALLERY 8 UP FOR LEASE

Harlem Bespoke:  The art gallery that opened at one of the restored retail spaces on the Frederick Douglass side of Strivers Row is now up for lease.  This was the New York address of Gallery 8 which started up their first location in London and opened the second location by the corner of 138th Street back in Winter 2018.  Art exhibition spaces have been hit hard this year with the closing of Gavin Brown in West Harlem but Claire Oliver Gallery on Adam Clayton Powell has prevailed.  More details on the gallery can be found in our past post: LINK

REMEMBER: GAVIN BROWN'S ENTERPRISE





Harlem Bespoke: The uptown art world has now lost one of its major new galleries when Gavin Brown's Enterprise on West 127th Street announced that the location will permanently be closing last month.  Mr. Brown established notable art spaces downtown over 26 years ago and rebelliously opened a grand 4-story exhibition center inside an old brewery building within Harlem's old manufacturing district back in 2016.  Since the gallerist also has restored and lives in one of the historic brownstones of the neighborhood, bringing the art world uptown perfectly made sense.  That was until the pandemic shut everything down.

SEE: URI ARAN EXHIBIT AT GAVIN BROWN ENTERPRISES



Harlem Bespoke:  We got to check out the new Uri Aran exhibit at Gavin Brown Enterprises in Manhattanville which showcases a lot of multi media work including sculpture, paintings and even video but one of the many standout pieces was a massive wall of baked bread on the first floor.  This uptown gallery is within an old brewery building with soaring ceilings and the industrial space now has an enticing display of golden crust welcoming visitors upon entering one of the first show spaces.

There is initially a sense of recognition and awe of the scale of the artwork along with maybe a bit of hunger but then a sense of wonder permeates while exploring a singular shelf.  As can be seen by the last photo, each section is actually a letter in the alphabet and the moment of discovery is also one that is striking in this presentation.  A total of three floors make up the entire breadth of work and the art enthusiasts should definitely make a point to wander around the unique space if the chance comes about. More details on the Uri Aran exhibit can be found in our past post: LINK
