Alogon Gallery
Alogon Gallery is an independent art space that hosts shows
coordinated by a rotating cast of outside curators. The directors of
Alogon select curators based on an interest in divergent ideological
positions and varying approaches to contemporary art. Through
showcasing difference within the context of a fixed platform, Alogon
hopes to generate interest and dialouge within the community on the
values and approaches that are being adopted by artists, critics and
curators today.
