restraint

May 14th - 24th 2026

club magic and Trans Art Fest are proud to co-present restraint, a pop-up exhibition at Studio 9D, 508 West 26th St., Chelsea, NYC.

Using the subjects of sexuality, intimacy, and kink as a starting place, restraint showcases the works of twelve artists whose materially-driven practices reach for an understanding of what it means to live in this world, at this time, in a trans body.

Exhibiting artists include: Ale Buenahora, Bea Willemsen, Fe Lugo, Imani Noel Ford, Jacob Romm, Jane Love, H Peters, Kaden Bard Dawson, Lijah Schnei, myer roze, Nass Reda-Fathmi, and Nils Hammerand.

Please join us for an opening reception Thursday, May 14th 6-8 PM.
