Hyperrealistic sculptor Tony Matelli presents his latest work ‘Josh’ together with Long Island’s ‘Alone Gallery’ — the first exhibition space designed to be experienced in isolation. While the gallery was developed in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19, no gallery staff will be present as the visitor with no more than three quarantine partners are left alone with the exhibition. Floating alone in the center of the empty space, the disturbingly life-like ‘Josh’ transforms the gallery into a chamber of self-reflection.
