In Four Sweepers of the Apocalypse (2025), four n**e figures astride broomsticks careen through a leafy backdrop, wild hair streaming behind and mouths open in a gleeful cackle. They burst across—and out from—the canvas with rowdy abandon, their movements unconstrained by the strictures of propriety and gender.
Throughout the exhibition, magic represents a way of engaging the more-than-human world: a means of communing with what lies at the edges of knowing.

In her mid-twenties, Meghan Roghanchi began collecting art with her husband, engaging directly with artists and developing an interest in the relationship between artistic production and collecting. After raising three children to school age, she returned to a professional focus shaped by her long-standing engagement with art, education, and collecting. Drawing on these experiences, Roghanchi founded RAM Gallery, positioning it at the intersection of creative practice and collecting, with an emphasis on direct exchange between artists and audiences and an accessible, welcoming gallery environment.

On the second floor of a prewar building on a non-assuming block of Flushing, Queens, one might stumble upon a vibrant community of young artists making work and creating community. There is no signage announcing arrival, no threshold that signals entry into the capital “A” capital “W” Art World. Instead, there is a buzzer, a staircase, and a living room temporarily transformed. This is where Reflections of Home, the inaugural exhibition at The Living Space Gallery, takes place — as an encounter and as a statement of refusal.

In 2023, multidisciplinary artist Bonny Leibowitz’s world shifted when she stumbled upon an active demolition site in a shopping center in Richardson, Texas. She described the landscape as “both horrific and beautiful” – a scene of destruction and chaos situated right in the middle of the inner city Dallas suburb. Braving the sweltering Texas heat, Leibowitz made multiple trips to the site, photographing it extensively and collecting pieces of debris from the wreckage that would later comprise her series Adventures in Plunderland.

Walking into the space at 86 Bowery, you are greeted by a calm, welcoming exhibition, the walls warmly lit and filled with a wide array of drawings, paintings, and sculptures, featuring works by 24 artists. The exhibition title is Bonesetter, based on the idea of a bonesetter, an individual in many cultures who resets broken bones and dislocations.

The bonesetter, who was also a kung fu practitioner, exemplifies the complete holistic process of the skeletal and nervous systems from protection to destruction to healing. The space, being a doctor’s office as well, makes the title and theme quite fitting. Split between one large room and a smaller, curtained-off annex, the exhibition presents ideas that resonate with both the title and the works. The works exemplify the body, the mind, and aspects that revolve around them: bones, muscles, the senses, alignment, memories, ideas, feelings, clothing, everyday objects, and histories.
