The Hole is proud to present our summer Tribeca exhibition, a special project by New York-based artist Curtis Kulig. Timed with
the release of his Front DOOR book documenting the eclectic mix visitors to his Kenmare studio (2016-2021), this exhibition turns our
Tribeca location over to Curtis for the summer where we can all do a "studio visit" to see his new work and that of over twenty of his friends.

We transformed the gallery entrance into his old studio entryway where visitors can buzz in for a visit, inviting the public to
experience the same threshold crossed by thousands of artists, collaborators, collectors, neighbors and friends over the years. The
installation transforms the publication into a shared physical experience, offering a rare glimpse into the community that has shaped
Kulig's life and work. Inside is an art studio hangout vibe with copies of the new book handy to peruse, and on the walls hangs an
assortment of artworks by Kulig and over twenty friends. Mark Gonzales, Stefan Bondell, Richie Kahn, Federico De Francesco, Lola
Montes, Markus Mazza, Brianna Lance, Jesse Edwards, Mint and Serf, Nick Farhi, Joshua Woods, Alessandro Simonetti, Bobby
Waltzer, Yves Scherer, Issa Lish, Colleen Combs, Hollis Wilson, Gogy Esparza, and many more.

About the book: The book catalogues images captured between 2015 and 2020 through the security camera at the entrance of
Kulig's SoHo studio on Kenmare Street, documenting five years of daily arrivals, unexpected encounters, and the creative
community that gathered around his front door. What began as a practical security camera evolved into an intimate archive of New
York life, preserving the relationships, personalities, and fleeting moments that shaped both the studio and the city. In Kulig's
words:

"A collection of images from my studio Front DOOR security camera documenting the foot traf ic of my friends, family, loved ones,
colleagues, collaborators, collectors, delivery men, dilettantes, strangers, psychos, loud-mouths, lap dogs, sycophants, vandals,
house sitters, hangers-on, and visitors in the night. A true sum of the parts, the people melting into the pot of my New York City.
This is that gumbo, bound, printed, and published."
