A.MANO Brooklyn is a creatively curated home décor shop featuring work by local Brooklyn artists, vintage finds and up-cycled fine furniture. We also have fun and clever gifts, stationery products and garden items.
The store opened in 2020 as an e-commerce brand called Cain Sloan, which was a department store founded by my great grandfather in Nashville, TN in 1903. When we moved into the new retail space at 585 Dean Street I rebranded as A.MANO Brooklyn to reflect the handmade nature of the work available in the store.
Reed Anderson: FLAGWORKS Exhibition Opening
In person / Exhibition / Sewing
Gallery 1923 presents the exhibition FLAGWORKS, featuring artist Reed Anderson.
An amalgam of vibrant popular culture and minimalist aesthetic, Anderson explores the language of flags as both personal and cultural symbol; semaphores whose colours celebrate a collective unity and contradict the polemic nature of flag as emblem of “us and them”.
Sewn from new and recycled rip-stop nylon familiar to spinnaker sails, kites, burgees and sports banners, Anderson engages with the formalism of painting as a sewn object. Rather than displayed outside, the work is exhibited indoors and takes a more formal
role of shrine or celebratory alter, the colours engaging our senses and reflecting in the light.
Banners join this exhibition and diverge from the singularity of the flags, embodying a temporal quality akin to film or a musical score. In addition, the banners are not fixed and can be "played" in various hanging arrangements in space. They require the viewer to navigate around them to fully experience the work. The choreography of the viewer is as important as the artwork, creating a species of dance that maintains a connection to the temporal.
Anderson will also show a selection of studies made during the Summer while at his family retreat in Canada.

Anderson has exhibited nationally and internationally for over 25 years, and his work is included in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY), the AKG collection (Buffalo, NY), and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (Austria), among others.
