︎ Do Not Fold, Spindle Or Mutilate @ CPW
On View January 31 – May 10, 2026
Opening January 31, 2026, 5-8PM
CPW Kingston

Kingston, NY 12401
This exhibition features images by Qiana Mestrich, the recipient of the CPW 2025 Saltzman Prize for Emerging Photographer of the Year. The prestigious distinction was awarded to Mestrich by a jury consisting of Dawoud Bey, Stephen Shore, and Lucy Sante.
CPW’s new exhibition includes works from the artist’s ongoing collage series, The Reinforcements, which Mestrich began in 2023 to address the absence in visual archives of women of color in the 1970s and ‘80s American workplace. Through found and personal images, Mestrich constructs a speculative archive that places women of color at the center of familiar office environments–fax machines, telephones, office furniture–bringing to light the important roles they have held in the workplace while critiquing their erasure from its visual history.
Also on view at CPW:
Ocean Vuong’s Sống
Nona Faustine’s What My Mother Gave Me
Jiatong Lu: Nowhere Land
︎ The Reinforcements Solo Show @ BAXTER ST
On view June 4 - August 16, 2025
NEW BAXTER ST LOCATION >> 154 Ludlow Street, NYC
Opening Wednesday, June 4th, 6-8PM
The Reinforcements (2023-ongoing) is a series of photo collages that visualizes the labor history of Black and immigrant women of color in America’s corporate workplace. This is the first showing of all the collages I’ve made in the last two years. In the middle of the gallery space is a special framing device for my digital collages, an installation of handmade ladders that featuring the “broken rung”, a concept which identifies a critical early-career obstacle for women that is even more pervasive than the glass ceiling.

︎Pushing the Envelope Group Exhibition
On view November 2, 2024 - March 30, 2025
The National Museum of Computing
Block H, Bletchley ParkBletchley, England, MK3 6GX, UK
Pushing the Envelope: An exhibition of mailed and correspondence art showcases work made by 2D artists who either use or reference archaic technologies. As The National Museum of Computing houses the world's first electronic computer, the Colossus, which Tommy Flowers spent eleven months designing and building at the Post Office Research Station in North West London, each artwork will be posted into the Museum. The mailed artworks are to be hung through-out the galleries between, beside or over the machines themselves. While the museum’s visitors will diversify and expand the artists' audiences, the exhibition aims to introduce art to the visitors they would otherwise never see. Curated by Lucy Helton.
The exhibition features work from the following artists:
Antony Cairns
Harry Gammer-Flitcroft
Stewart Hardie
Lucy Helton
Qiana Mestrich
Sarah Pickering
Indianna Solnick
Barry Stone
Clare Strand
Rahel Zoller & Louis Porter
