Plus 1.2

A Group Exhibition at PeepSpace, Tarrytown, NY Works by: Adina Andrus, Melanie Brewster, Engels the Artist, Renée Gertler, Nathan Randall Green, Larry Krone, Dante Migone-Ojeda, Lexa Walsh, Roxanne Wolanczyk & Halley Zien

Peep Space Presents: Plus 1.2

Peep Space is pleased to announce Plus 1.2, the second iteration of its invitational exhibition series. First presented in 2020 as Plus One, the exhibition was conceived as a way of marking introductions and extending networks at a moment when connection was newly fraught. In this expanded reprise, the structure remains simple yet charged: each of Peep Space’s five co-directors invited one artist to participate, and each of those artists, in turn, extended an invitation to another. The resulting exhibition traces how artistic communities are shaped not only by individual practices but by gestures of trust, affinity, and exchange.

This seasons pairings are:

  • Monica Carrier invited Adina Andrus, who invited Nathan Randall Green

  • Jacquelyn Strycker invited Melanie Brewster, who invited Dante Migone-Ojeda

  • Jess Blaustein invited Halley Zien, who invited Engels the Artist

  • Kristen Jordan invited Lexa Walsh, who invited Renée Gertler

  • Rachel Sydlowski invited Roxanne Wolanczyk, who invited Larry Krone

Together, these artists bring a wide range of approaches and sensibilities into dialogue. Some works pursue formal rigor through color, shape, and surface, while others foreground materiality, storytelling, or humor as points of entry. Certain pieces hinge on subtle gestures and intimate scale, while others operate with theatricality and bold graphic presence. By weaving these practices together, Plus 1.2 resists the notion of a singular curatorial theme, instead presenting the exhibition itself as a map of relationships—where lines of influence, conversation, and collaboration become as visible as the works on view.

The act of invitation becomes both method and metaphor. To invite is to recognize potential, to extend trust, and to create space for unexpected outcomes. Plus 1.2 embraces this spirit of openness, allowing the artists’ connections to guide the exhibition into uncharted terrain. In doing so, the project underscores the way communities of artists build and sustain themselves through generosity, and reciprocity.
