Such a cool, modern space -- Foley sets itself apart from all the other "hip" galleries in Chelsea. Maybe it's the grand, original flooring and ceilings that lends itself so well to emerging art that is void of an elitist and snobby vibe. Foley holds events which completely transform the space. Sherri and Michael are two highly valued, much adored members of the photo community. I participated in a show last year and had an unparalleled experience of kindness and feedback. I networked with women at Sherri's cool girl event, bought books from the book-fair Michael did with Kris Graves. They are advanced thinkers, always a step ahead, always involved in initiatives outside the gallery walls. Both teach at major art colleges, both frequent award events, both contribute expertise and time to their field. They are as friendly as they art smart. Genuine people in this sea of sharks.
