Moskowitz Bayse

About the Gallery
Moskowitz Bayse represents artists for whom rigorous formal inquiry serves as the basis for object-based practices across generations, media, and subject matter. Gallery artists consider their work within both contemporary social contexts and broader historical narratives and conversations. Further, each perpetuates an integrity, sincerity, and generosity in both the creation and exhibition of work, and the circumstances of its creation. Fundamental to the gallery’s programming is the demonstrated belief in art’s manifest ability to convey meaning through pointed use of materials and a focus on process and object, alike. Founded in 2015 by Adam Moskowitz and Meredith Bayse, the gallery’s unwavering commitment to artists and their practices continues to drive exhibition programming, special events, and publishing.

About the Presentation
Anthony Miserendino will make his New York debut in a solo presentation with Moskowitz Bayse, a first-time exhibitor at Independent. Miserendino’s sculptures confront the accelerated fragmentation of contemporary life by grounding themselves in material memory—each work a reconstruction of what time and progress threaten to discard. Through the use of quotidian forms and images, he reclaims the physical residue of history, reasserting the body and the handmade within a culture increasingly distanced by digital mediation. This commitment to the hand-eye-mind relationship is further intensified through his expansive exploration of relief techniques, in which raised, sunken, and hollow relief are hybridized to form a distinctive spatial language. In this context, Miserendino’s practice feels urgent not as resistance but as a balm: restoring presence, duration, and care to a culture that has become anesthetized to the weight and intimacy of its own remnants.
