About the Gallery
Kendra Jayne Patrick is an art gallery operating between Switzerland and the USA. Its programming is focused on the 21st century avant-garde, specializing in sculpture, painting, digital, and photography from a post-conceptual and post-internet posture. The program operates from a brick-and-mortar location in Bern, Switzerland and maintains its original itinerant presence in New York City. Adventure, scholarship, and the pleasure of looking govern the gallery’s programming and ethos, and all are reflected in its fluid exhibition model and challenging art and artists.

About the Presentation
Kendra Jayne Patrick will present work by Ada Friedman and Constanza Camila Kramer Garfias in a duo presentation at Independent. Both artists possess unique and committed approaches to the materials undergirding their respective mediums. Ada paints on paper fortified by highly specific paraphernalia, entirely harmonized by the way she moves the paint. Constanza’s textile works toggle between construction and its opposite, commanding threads to both repel and support one another. Their works are exemplary in a world of constant digital impressions, prevailing because they spotlight physicality rather than surface.
