Pierogi, founded in 1994, is located in Williamsburg, 
Brooklyn—an area now vital to the larger art 
community because of its concentration of diverse 
artists and its innovative gallery scene. Pierogi has 
monthly solo shows which feature the work of 
emerging and mid-career artists in an eclectic range 
of media—from the performance installations of 
Ward Shelley, to the panoramic and filmic drawings 
of Dawn Clements; as well as curated exhibitions 
such as the award-winning Dead Treeinstallation (a 
recreation of the Robert Smithson work originally 
shown in Dusseldorf’s Kunsthalle, 1969). 
The Flat Files are another important element of 
Pierogi—they house portfolios of original works by 
over 700 artists. The traveling Flat Files have been 
exhibited in London, Vienna, San Francisco, Los 
Angeles, and elsewhere. 
Pierogi Press is a bi-annual literary and arts journal 
featuring the work of under-represented as well as 
esteemed contemporary authors and visual artists. 
The cover of each issue is the silk-screened work of 
a different artist. 
Pierogi opened a second gallery space in Leipzig, 
Germany in the Spring of 2006 where we exhibit the 
work of American and International artists.
