One of our first tasks upon signing the lease of a former Bed, Bath and Beyond was removing the Bed, Bath and Beyond from the building. This included 10,000 pounds of horizontal merchandizing rack that adorned every wall and column. We preserved one wall, anticipating that a variety of artists would find new ways to employ the wall and hanger system to create art installations suspended or hanging from display hangers.
2026’s featured artist on the merchandising rack is Christy Caravaglio.
With Untitled, Christy Caravaglio combines the simplest of elements to create bright geometric patterns in community spaces. Just as traditional fiber crafters used what was at hand to make things both useful and uplifting, so Christy uses common materials to transform ordinary spaces into unexpected moments of delight.
