This gallery, founded by artist-curators Elle Burchill and Andrea Monti, specializes in film, video, sound, digital and performance art (one particular standout in the last category was a 2011 event in which artist Marni Kotak gave birth to a child in the gallery). Microscope Gallery is also notable for showing the work of such pioneering figures of the 1960s and ’70s avant-garde as Jonas Mekas, George Maciunas and Michael Snow.
After starting out in Bushwick, the gallery has now moved to Chelsea.
