Katie Simmons:
Collapsing and Coalescing:
Making-With In the Anthropocene
November 25- December 20
Artist’s Reception: Friday, November 28th from 3-6 pm
ABOVE: Katie Simmons, Lupinus Littoralis
Colorado-based Katie Simmons creates drawings centered on the parallels she observes between the exploitation and commodification of the natural world and female bodies in the Anthropocene. Using natural dyes and fibers, Katie works with materials in a way that promotes their agency and vitality. Atop dyed surfaces, she then creates drawings of bodily ecosystems in ballpoint pen. Her work seeks to flatten hierarchies, embrace radical care, and explore making kin in our modern era.

Spanning more than fifty year years, Pleiades Gallery is one of the oldest and most well established galleries in New York City. Founded in Soho in 1974 by a group of like minded artists, the gallery moved to the heart of Chelsea in 2000 half a block from the High Line, located among the most prestigious galleries in Manhattan. Pleiades Gallery has developed into a Chelsea institution with high standards that are continuously refreshed by new artists representing a diversity of styles, ages and viewpoints and that are creating work across a broad range of mediums.
Throughout the year the gallery hosts solo shows, curated group shows and juried shows. The gallery has hosted some of the world’s finest artists including Willam Behnken, who was a founding member, and Renee e. Rubin, both of whom have works in major museums including MoMA, the Met and Brooklyn Museum. Many of the gallery’s artists have been selected to participate in competitions juried by curators of prominent institutions and museums throughout the world.
The gallery spotlights artistic movements and artists who are notable for creating work that crosses genres and borders, generational contexts and artistic disciplines, reflecting a broad range of sensibilities from realistic to abstract. Pleiades Gallery continually shows inspiring work of high quality contemporary artists. The gallery offers opportunities for both established and emerging artists and welcomes them to submit their work for consideration. The spirit of commitment to the artists and the art that guided the gallery from the beginning remains true today and as we look ahead to the next fifty years.
