SEA VIEW

» In 1998, the Cuban-born artist Jorge Pardo was offered a solo show at MOCA. What he created for the show was a 3,000-square-foot property—it later became his home/studio—made of redwood, concrete, and custom Mexican tiles atop Mount Washington’s panoramic Sea View Lane. A quarter century later, current occupant Sara Lee Hantman, the gallery director and furniture designer behind the budding Prisma Studio (which she launched during the pandemic with her fiancé, Coley Brown), is carving out her own gallery in Pardo’s former studio, Sea View, with a multimedia group show called River Styx, cocurated by Matthew Brown gallery director Brandy Carstens. “Brandy and I had been talking about this boundaryless space where people can stay awhile,” says Hantman. Adds Carstens, “We want you to have a cup of coffee, walk down the nature trail. Let’s share some ideas that can inspire something new.” sea-view.us
