Swivel Gallery

About the Gallery
Swivel Gallery was founded in January 2021 by Graham Wilson, who designed, built and opened the first gallery venue in Nostrand 329 Avenue in an unconventional space, turning the once Restoration Tabernacle into a powerful incubator for emerging artists.

The gallery's focus is to showcase a vast range of artists' practices from all over the world, which deal with some of the most pressing themes of our generation, creating a platform for a global conversation and confrontation. The gallery’s programming ranges from sculpture to installation, photography, painting, and new media art, often working with artists whose work is overlooked in the contemporary market. In just a year and a half, the gallery has been featured in major press outlets including Artnet, The New York Times, Artsy, Widewalls, Cultured, and Hyperallergic.

About the Presentation
Swivel Gallery will present a solo presentation of Lucia Hierro at Independent. Hierro’s practice, which includes sculpture, digital media, and installation, confronts twenty-first century capitalism through an intersectional lens. Appropriating imagery that ranges from commerce to art history, Hierro’s choices manifest her own multidimensional experience as a Dominican American artist raised in Washington Heights. With a studio methodology steeped in Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and European still life painting, as well as her own biographical circumstance, Hierro’s work surveys power, individuality, and opportunity specific to the communities she orbits.
