PARADICE PALASE & GLORIA’S are pleased to co-present Phantom Body, a collaborative exhibition by eleven artists of the PARADICE PALASE membership network. The selected works from each artist unite in a medley of medium and large scale paintings, along with textile works, copper point on board, small ceramics and mixed material forms. This group exhibition is the second of two in a two-month presentation hosted at GLORIA’S Project Space in NYC’s historically artistic downtown neighborhood the Lower East Side.
Phantom Body brings together contemporary women-identifying artists who invoke ideas of soft power, psychic space, and embodied memory. These works are not only representations of bodies but also traces of what remains after rupture, after silence, and after erasure. Borrowing from the medical phenomenon of phantom limb syndrome — the sensation of presence despite absence — the title becomes a metaphor for emotional and political haunting. The works in this exhibition whisper, mend, and reclaim. They speak through mark, thread, and gesture. Each piece is an act of self-repair, a testament to interior strength, and a response to what has been lost, denied, and fragmented — yet still felt. At a time when bodily autonomy and the rights of women, queer and trans people, and other marginalized communities are being stripped away, Phantom Body offers a quiet but unyielding refusal. It honors bodily care as resistance, absence as presence, and fragility as force. Artists in the exhibition include Adina Andrus, Alissa Polan, Carol Paik, Caroline Heffron, Christy E. O'Connor, Diana Jean Puglisi, Jennifer Tazewell Mawby, Jessica Soininen-Eddis, LaThoriel Badenhausen, Melanie Brewster, and Tina Lam. Phantom Body will be on view May 10 – June 1, 2025. The gallery is located at 5 Eldridge Street, New York, NY on the ground floor. Public hours are Thursday - Friday 1-7pm, Saturday - Monday 12-6pm, and by appointment. The reception will be Saturday 5/10, 6-9pm. For more information, including available work, please visit paradicepalase.com/presentations-all/gloriasxpp or contact kat@paradicepalase.com.
