Jackie Klempay founded SITUATIONS, a contemporary art gallery in the LES/Chinatown neighborhood of New York City, in 2015. The gallery exhibits the work of both emerging and established artists. The divergent programming holds a primarily queer and feminist agenda featuring artists from the United States and abroad. Jackie is also on the board of poetry imprint The Song Cave.

Aesther Chang is a fine artist based in NYC. She is known for her nuanced and subtle abstract paintings. Her works experiment with textures and colors, and the play between linear and ethereal elements. Moments of free improvisation call for a turn toward meditation. What she seeks through the process is harmony, or in her own words “oneness between self and matter”. Chang’s works directly invite the viewer to realize a deeper dimension within one’s very own being- a transcendental realm beyond the body and mind. To unlock this realm, one must go inward.
