The Lower East Side (LES) is one of the newest gallery districts in Manhattan, stretching from Canal St. north to Houston. Like Chelsea, these are commercial spaces. However, they tend to feature more-experimental work by younger, less-established artists. This creates a unique energy that sets the LES galleries apart from their counterparts in Chelsea.
For this writing, compare your impressions of the Lower East Side galleries to those in Chelsea.
Identify three separate galleries, and consider the following questions: Do they seem to show a different kind of work than those in Chelsea? Do you think that they cater to the same type of collectors? Does the surrounding area of the LES affect how you view the work? Does the Chelsea area differently affect how you view the work that is there?
