Matéria

Art gallery owned by Simone DeSousa. Orig­i­nal­ly called Re:View Contemporary, later Si­mone De­Sou­sa Gal­lery.

In the announcement e-mail, the name of the gal­lery was stylized as "MATΣ́RIA," which of course makes no sense given that the Greek let­ter sigma is an S sound, not an E sound, though at least the owner does seem to at least have some awareness that a capital sigma is used as a mathematical symbol for summation.

The Midtown location was the gallery's original location. That location will continue to be used for exhibits overlapping with the ones that take place at the Core City location.

On August 17, 2024, the gallery sent out an e-mail saying all future exhibits will be exclusively at the Core City location.

Upcoming exhibitions

All exhibits listed in this section slated to take place at the Core City location.

• See Me Plural, Bianca Beck. Slated to open September 14, with a reception from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and run to October 24.
