🧑‍🩰Outside In: Compound Open House🧑‍🩰
Sunday, October 11
3–9PM

Larger than the sum of its parts, The Compound is a complex of spaces and a collective of artists, institutionally intersecting creativity, sociology, and the adaptive use of space.

Outside In showcases the current state of production held behind our doors, where we are defined by our flexibility to adapt, mutate, and evolve. The best way to understand our vision, in its most current state, is to experience it.

On October 11th, join us as we shift our focus to the thoughts and concepts that frame our collective creative practice. Navigate open studios, view the gallery, participate in workshops, and join panel discussions guided by our artist community. Our courtyard will offer a central place to gather, listen to music, share a meal, and enjoy the evening between activities.

We invite you to join the nurturing of an organic creative movement and spend the day with us: outside, inside, and in between.

on view at exhibition Whiteout curated by Sim Ciudad
Used in military operations to mark and target enemies of the state, lasers can cause permanent damage to one‘s sight and can function as both tool and weapon in police operations. This work orients the laser as a method of protest of such practices, aiming to usher in more ecologically resilient & compassionate realities.

Final several days to catch this show!

What does it mean to be safe? From the perspective of a surveillance state, achieving the goal of perfect safety entails a totalitarian capture of all possible information.
Innovation Summit repurposes footage taken from a Customs and Border Protection (CPB) webinar, offering a corrected audio dialogue in which panelists discuss innovative technical proposals to capture the past, iresent, and future.

Whiteout on view through September 25
curated by Sim Ciudad
Join us on FriSim Ciudadber 25 for the closing!

Since January 2024, citing record complaint volume and budget cuts, the Civilian Complaint Review Board of New York has suspended investigation of several categories of allegation against police misconducts. Cases closed this way are marked Strategic Resource Allocation Determination (SRAD). No investigation was conducted, and police officers likely have never been notified.

Thousands of such complaints identify an officer. Taking cues from policing tools such as notices of summons, 50 of these notices are printed here, addressed, and ready to mail.
Access, filter, and download these notices on

Recordings of sonic weaponry play back in motion, automating an imitation of use in policing contexts. The original object of offense, called a long-range acoustic device (LRAD), is often used as a tool for crowd control and can cause permanent hearing damage. In this context, the sound artifact played in the space mimics the weapon but renders its actual harmful properties defunct. In this environment, the tool may be observed or experienced in larger quantities and with greater attention than actual deployment would allow.

Exhibition Whitehot is on view through September 25;
Gallery Hours: Friday&Saturday 12–4PM; Tuesday–Thursday by appointment (contact info on website)
