FUTURE FAIR 2025
“You're moving around too much, and you need to stand still" - Self Esteem (Rebecca Lucy Taylor)
Feia is proud to present a two-person installation by Marianna Peragallo and Danielle Klebes on the occasion of the 5th edition of Future Fair in New York City. Together, Klebes and Peragallo exhibit tender reverence towards the objects represented in their work. Discarded shopping bags are now hauntingly still and brimming with life, “manly” objects have been transformed into reflections of queer intimacy, and fire - dancing, destructive, gorgeous, and foreboding - all occupy this temporary space to ask us what we care about, and what our reality might look like once we leave this moment.
Danielle Klebes
From two weeks of age onwards, Danielle Klebes has spent much of her life on the move. Because of this transience, her paintings, sculptures, and shaped panels feature a disorienting mixture of real and invented domestic scenes that reference borrowed and temporary spaces. The work also delves into how queer experiences are intimately tied to the spaces we occupy. Klebes has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States, Europe, and Canada. These include recent solo shows: Moving Target at York College of Pennsylvania and A Dyke Cabin of One’s Own at Mother in Law House curated by Elijah Wheat Showroom in Germantown, NY. Klebes received her MFA in Visual Arts from Lesley University College of Art and Design in 2017

Marianna Peragallo
Marianna Peragallo is a Brazilian-American artist who makes anthropomorphic sculptures that re-imagine everyday objects designed for human consumption. Through these recreations of daily life and fabricated landscapes, she considers the concept of artifice and blurs the lines between reality and imitation. Each sculpture, expressing a simple gesture, speaks to the potential for acceptance, care, and love for even the most peripheral things. Peragallo has shown at galleries and institutions around the United States, including Cleo the Project Space (Savannah, GA), McColl Center (Charlotte, NC), Torrance Art Museum (Los Angeles, CA), andnd RegularNormal (New York, NY). She received her BFA from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, and an MFA from The School of Visual Arts, New York.
