About Art

36. Michelle Maccarone

Michelle Maccarone is the founder of eponymous gallery Maccarone. Shortly after 9/11 Maccarone opened in an unorthodox space in a remote neighborhood with no other galleries around. From the beginning, the gallery was an outlier in every way. It was artist-driven and grew out of conversations. It was more of a concept, or a laboratory for experimentation, that didn’t quite fit the traditional model of an art gallery. Recently the gallery's focus is beyond IRL exhibitions as a creative brand that not only manages artists and produces special projects, but also collaborates with venues and corporate partners to create experiences outside of the physical gallery space.


She and Zuckerman talked about art collecting as hoarding, the unlimited possibilities of working digitally, art as a world practice instead of a studio practice,  the grand idea, the conceptual gesture of putting art on Ebay and Pornhub, upending artworld protocols, art in transition, fear of art, and freedom!
