Reading the signs: An art show opens at Psychic Readings on 5th Street

"DIVINATION: Trust Not Your Process, Trust Your Process" opened last night inside Psychic Readings on Fifth Street.
Presented by Desnivel Gallery, this is the latest East Village storefront to host an art show (joining a laundromat, a corner market, and a hardware store). 

The project continues Desnivel's interest in placing exhibitions outside traditional gallery settings, creating work that engages with neighborhood businesses and the East Village's history of artist-run and independent spaces. 

The latest exhibition features work by Aki Goto, a multimedia artist born in Tokyo and based in the Hudson Valley. Goto's practice spans video, sound, textiles, drawing, painting, performance and installation ...  drawing from lived experience to explore presence, memory, parenthood and everyday rituals.

As part of the exhibition, Marie at Psychic Readings is offering tarot readings using a deck specially designed by Goto, blending the artist's work with the shop's everyday rhythm.

Desnivel Gallery, founded by Maria De Victoria, moved from the basement of her home to East Village storefronts to highlight the financial challenges of running an art space while also making art more accessible to the public.
