ELLIOTT HUNDLEY

» “Usually, I do exhibitions based on a theme or a particular work of literature, but this show is sort of a collage,” says Elliott Hundley, standing in the vast studio of his biggest collage, the 18,000-square-foot live/work space he carved out of a Chinatown import warehouse—which he’s also turned into a low-stakes, high-exposure talent incubator offering elegantly installed solo shows to underrepresented, if overly talented, artists like Mimi Lauter, Yaron Michael Hakim, and Chris Miller. For his most ambitious solo turn, at Regen Projects, Hundley is turning 21 years’ worth of art and ephemera inside this industrial warren into a Wunderkammer that will include his purple foam walls tacked with collage elements and a sculpture made by bite marks from his parrot, Echo, who lends the show its title. “It’s the name of my parrot,” says Hundley, “but also this idea of something coming back, a looking back.” @elliotthundley
