LOCATION [MAP]:
We are conveniently located in the heart of the Chelsea arts district
on West 24th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues. By Subway: Take the

then west across 10th Avenue towards 11th Avenue.
MISSION:
Freight + Volume is dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging and established
artists, and in particular work that is innovative and not afraid to take
risks. While Freight + Volume
is especially interested in narrative and text-based material, ultimately
our predominant criteria is the quality of the work itself, regardless
of technique, content or style; with the motivation to show dynamic, visceral,
and provocative new work in all media and dealing with a range of subject
matter.
In keeping with the
tradition of publishing, with which the gallery was founded, Freight +
Volume magazine was launched as an outlet to learn about the artists with
whom the gallery works, as well as their friends and influences. The magazine
is a medium through which to explore not only the work of our artists,
but the creative process and the cult of personality.
HISTORY:
Freight + Volume was formed by combining the text-based, narrative philosophy
and limited edition book focus of its two-year predecessor, Volume, with
the motivation to show dynamic, visceral, and provocative new work in
all media and dealing with a range of subject matter.
Established by Nick Lawrence (co-founder and former partner of LFL
Gallery in New York and owner of DNA
Gallery in Provincetown, MA), Volume was originally adjacent to LFL
Gallery at 530 West 24th Street in Chelsea and then high atop the eighth
floor of 526 West 26th Street. In September of 2005, the gallery reopened
its new ground floor location as Freight + Volume at 542 West 24th Street.
