Invisible-Exports was a contemporary art gallery located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. It was co-owned and directed by Risa Needleman and Benjamin Tischer and was recognized for housing provocative and controversial exhibitions.[1] The gallery represented a small roster of avant-garde artists, including iconic artist Genesis P-Orridge.[2] It was part of a network of galleries in the LES, referred to as a "gallery district."
The gallery participated in "Third Thursdays", an initiative instituted by the LES Business Improvement District that sought to elevate interest in the area by encouraging galleries to stay open until 9 pm on the third Thursday of every month.[3]
The gallery closed in March 2019.[4]
