A Room of One’s Own opened at The Bowen, a new condominium development in Downtown Brooklyn, with an exhibition transforming three of the property’s flexible living spaces into immersive art installations. Featuring works by Mallory Page, Trish Tillman, and Shavana Smiley, the exhibition draws inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay of the same name, exploring the relationship between personal space, creativity, and self-expression in a city where square footage is a luxury.

Guests from the art and design communities included featured artists Mallory Page, Trish Tillman, and Shavana Smiley; Pen + Brush Executive Director Dawn Delikat; Bridgewell Arts and Greenhouse Auctions founder Shlomi Rabi; Whitehot Magazine New York Editor Liam Otero; artist Chellis Baird; Agency Esta’s Jenny Mushkin Goldman; and collectors Rodney Dickson and Winnie Permata.

The reception welcomed artists, collectors, journalists, and curators to explore the installations and the new development, celebrating the intersection of art, design, and residential living.
