Cuchifritos Gallery is pleased to present a new project by AAI’s LES Studio Program residency alum Shanzhai Lyric. Designed in collaboration with architectural collective common room, Canal Street Research Association (market) will be on view at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space from November 15, 2025 through February 7, 2026.
Located inside Essex Market on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the installation transforms the gallery into a hybrid research site and storefront, examining how the politics of visibility, commerce, and belonging have shaped the city’s marketplaces for nearly a century.
