The Dance

February 21 - April 4th, 2026

1923 S. Santa Fe Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90021

The Dance, presented by Abigail Ogilvy Gallery in collaboration with Cierra Britton Gallery is a meditation on the politics and poetics of bodily movement. Rooted in the visual language of classical forms and experimental gesture, the exhibition explores the significance of femme movement as both ritual and resistance through the lens of artists Latifa Alajlan, Ambrose Rhapsody Murray, Hiba Schahbaz, Sydney Vernon, Rena Monet, Emily Manwaring, and Naomi Lisiki. From ballet to voguing, to gestural abstract painting, movement has long transcended the stage and dancefloor—becoming a vital tool for self-expression, community formation, and the preservation of bodily autonomy.

Drawing on visual references as evocative as Black Swan and Alvin Ailey’s Revelations, the works in this show offer studies in singular and communal motion—highlighting how choreography, whether performed or conjured, becomes a way of reclaiming power. Here, the body becomes its own archive: twisting, pulsing, reaching, and returning in service of memory, survival, and transformation.

The Dance opens February 21 through April 4th, 2026 at 1923 S. Santa Fe Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90021.

Waiting Room

Bre Andy

23 Rue Charlot, 75003 Paris, France

January 31st – February 28th, 2026

Long Story Short Paris and Cierra Britton Gallery are proud to announce Bre Andy’s debut international solo exhibition, Waiting Room, opening January 31st at Long Story Short Paris.

A waiting room is a liminal space; a state of transition; a physical and metaphorical point where one pauses before moving to the next. Across eleven new works, Andy’s “Waiting Room” unfolds within this threshold. Considering the domestic spaces we occupy and the cogitations that occupy us, she visualizes interior scenes where women are intimately suspended in thought, both alone and with one another. Closely highlighting body language and gazes transfixed beyond the frame, we see the figures present in the paintings, yet seemingly elsewhere internally—their postures suggesting rumination. With routine objects, such as papers, chairs, and ashtrays, mindfully positioned alongside the body as grounding elements, Andy’s works reflect how and where women take space to sit with themselves, while also asking what may be revealed in their stillness.

Waiting Room captures the moments hung before an inevitable shift.
