Martina Cox

September 18 – October 23, 2026

Martina Cox is an artist based in New York City. Her work examines the intersection of textile history, craft, and fine art–recent drawings depict carefully rendered fabrics interrupted with actual needle and thread. Martina also co-hosts a monthly mending club called Darn it! with artist Hekima Hapa and historian Kate Sekules. For Martina, mending club is an extension of her drawing practice: it redefines craft and offers an opportunity to heal our relationships with objects often deemed disposable.
 
Her recent solo exhibitions include Waist Management at Alyssa Davis Gallery, New York, NY (2024). Recent group exhibitions include Jarvis Art, New York, NY (2025); 12.26, Los Angeles, CA (2025); Kasmin Gallery, New York, NY (2025); Textile Arts Center, Brooklyn, NY (2023); among others. She was an artist-in-residence at the Textile Arts Center in 2022-2023. Her work has been featured in several publications including The New York Times, Elephant Magazine, Interview Magazine, LVL3, Coeval, and Sleek Magazine. 

Diane Matyas

November 6 – December 15, 2026

Diane Matyas is a New York City artist who explores the intersections between science and story. 

Raised in Ithaca, NY, she received a BFA and MFA at Cornell University. A resident of Staten Island since 1986, she has raised a family and led a leadership career at New York museums. Matyas’ drawings, paintings, prints, shadow works and public art create allegories inspired by biology, history, and wild swimming. Her scenarios feature animals juxtaposed with built environments or scientific principles such as buoyancy and gravity. By weaving together these elements, Matyas creates unexpected relationships and narratives that surprise, spark curiosity, and encourage deeper understanding of our interconnected world. Matyas’ site-specific public sculptures have been built in New York City, Philadelphia, and Mesa, Arizona. 

Most recently, Matyas’ 2025 DCLA Art Fund Grant and Makerspace NYC residency led to the installation of the interactive public sculpture The Luna Park Elephant at Maker Park. Her interest in shadow theatre led to a 2025 Howard Gilman Performing Arts Residency Cohort grant and the 2026 Object Movement Festival with the Center for West Park, where she will debut The Luna Park Elephant as a performance.
