Curated by PIN–UP Magazine editorial and creative director Felix Burrichter, CFGNY: Emporium acts as a survey show, combining aspects of previous CFGNY exhibitions and remixing them into a new multi-level experience. Ranging from garments and design objects to architectural installations, ceramic sculpture, and video, the exhibition “showcases many of the different material languages that we have developed over the years,” explain the four members of CFGNY.

The artists describe their work as “vaguely Asian,” a reference to the feeling of “shared alienation” that comes with being Asian in America. CFGNY: Emporium will extend over three floors and will include several new artworks specially commissioned for the exhibition.

“Working with Marsèll, we are interested in the idea of Italian leather goods as the pinnacle of luxury as part of the collective imaginary of Asia. We are excited to produce leather artworks with Marsèll artisans that take pride in making all their products by hand, using traditional techniques that have been abandoned by most Italian peers.”
