The Invitational is a multidisciplinary group exhibition that presents over 58 artists and spans two galleries in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Curated collaboratively by the five members of Kunsthalle Galapagos: Julie McKim, Erik Hougen, Gracie Kazer, Wyatt Nash and Daniel Kingery, it is an investigation into the art production we have encountered over the past year.  In the spirit of the Kunsthalle’s large inaugural group show, The Invitational highlights our artist-centric mission and showcases an array of disciplines and mediums, including performances and site-specific installations. Artists included are both old andnew to the Kunsthalle. 

Kunsthalle Galapagos is run by artists and curators who curate collaboratively. We are a multi-disciplinary artist-centric space that presents emerging and established artists who actively challenge convention. We think of the space as a hub for artistic experimentation.
