OSMOS

About the Gallery
OSMOS was initiated in 1997 as a project space in Berlin, and has since developed into a fully integrated concept for curatorial and editorial activities.

OSMOS currently has two locations. In New York City, OSMOS Address is located at 50 East 1st. Street in a Manhattan East Village storefront that was once a saloon frequented by Emma Goldman and other radicals. In Stamford, NY OSMOS Station is located at 20 Railroad Ave in the Catskills. For directions to either location, please visit our contact page.

OSMOS is composed of multiple operational components, with the key three being: OSMOS Address (Project space and operational headquarters); OSMOS Publishing (Quarterly Print Magazine and Artists Monographs); and managing artist’s estates. 

About the Presentation
OSMOS will present work by Anton Stankowski in a solo presentation at Independent. Although best known in his native Germany as one of the most distinctive and prolific graphic designers of the post-war period, Stankowski (1906-1998) began his career as a photographer and visual artist. Throughout his career, and in every aspect of his oeuvre, Stankowski insisted on the interrelationship of applied and fine arts. The presentation at Independent juxtaposes the constructivist photographic experimentation of the pre-war period and the fine art production that became the primary activity from the 1970s to the mid 1990s.
