Dear friends, Writer, feminist, activist, and author bell hooks in her essay “Love as the Practice of Freedom” (2006) reminds us, “A culture of domination is anti-love.” I write to you today from The Kitchen in consideration of this “culture of domination”, and the ways it keeps manifesting itself. The work, then, together, is to consider the ways in which domination and institution intersect in art and life, compounding one another. It’s a complex dilemma: building structures of refusal that constantly require deconstruction and decolonizing in order to remain equitable. Our volatile and dynamic work, then—as an experimental arts institution built for and by artists, generously shaped by their collective creative imagination—is to think through how to build without domination, how t...

Dear Friends, In September 1980—41 years ago, and less than a decade beyond The Kitchen’s initial founding—Linda Goode Bryant, founder of avant-garde art space Just Above Midtown Gallery, launched an exhibition titled Dialogues, which brought into conversation artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, alongside fifteen New York City spaces deemed part of the “alternative art scene.” The Kitchen was one of the participating organizations.* As an intersectional collaboration, Bryant’s orchestrating of this show was a timely critique of the state of the arts and, too, enacted a call to action across the field to peer into the future, considering radical and expansive ways in which “alternative,” “experimental,” and “avant-garde” could be reassessed, reimagined, and rearticulated. ...
