Undercurrent, defined as a body of water below the surface and moving in a different direction from any surface current, is a dedicated exhibition platform for contemporary art aiming to support quality and contemporary art practices that are contrary to prevailing trends and movements. We showcase local and international contemporary artists with an inclusive subprogram of artists and creative entities of the Baltic countries. This exchange augments our mission, for a diverse and accessible platform distilling cultural perspectives in New York City. Undercurrent is located in a basement, below the water level, facing the East River, in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). We are a charitable organization primarily working with visual arts and multi-media exhibitions with indefinite evening and weekend projects that coincide with the current exhibition. All programming is voted on by proposals to the board of co-directors.
Undercurrent is a collective of artists who originated from Sla307 Art Space (2014-2019). Branching out we have regrouped and refined our mission and program to more accurately reflect one another and enhance the objectives we seek to attain in our new platform.
