Kasmin is pleased to announce THE MOSS ROOM, a two-person exhibition of outdoor sculpture by Alma Allen (b. 1970, Utah) and Bosco Sodi (b. 1970, Mexico City) situated in the woodland quarry landscape of the National Landmark Manitoga (Garrison, New York) from September 13 through November 18, 2024. THE MOSS ROOM observes the connections to this unique property and links these artists’ distinctive practices, highlighting Allen and Sodi’s experimental approach to form and material that engages a dynamic history of the natural world and draws especially from the landscape of the Americas. The exhibition is curated by Kate Orne, founder of Upstate Diary, and co-organized by Kasmin.
About Manitoga
Located in Garrison, New York, approximately one hour north of New York City, Manitoga is the former home and 75-acre woodland garden of American industrial designer Russel Wright (1904-1976) and his family. Manitoga is one of the few 20th century modern homes with original landscape open to the public. In 2021, the Russel & Mary Wright Design Gallery opened onsite, offering a permanent display of the Wrights’ groundbreaking designs for the American home.
Access to the House, Studio & Gallery is by guided tour only, advance reservations required.

About Alma Allen
Alma Allen
Allen’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Palm Springs Art Museum in California, and his first monograph was published by Rizzoli Electa in 2020. The artist participated in the 2014 Whitney Biennial where he gained recognition and a wider discovery of his work. In 2018, the Palm Springs Art Museum in California opened the two-person exhibition In Conversation: Alma Allen & JB Blunk, which traveled to the Nevada Museum of Art in 2019. In 2021, Kasmin staged an exhibition of Allen’s sculpture, encompassing both an indoor exhibition space and the Kasmin Sculpture Garden on the gallery’s rooftop in New York. Allen’s first exhibition in Europe was mounted by Mendes Wood DM in the same year, installed in the gallery’s Brussels venue as well as that city’s Van Buuren Museum & Gardens, and remained on view through early 2022. Later in 2022, Allen’s work was installed in the iconic central plaza at Rockefeller Center, New York.
Allen’s solo exhibition entitled Nunca Solo opened in February 2023 at Museo Anahuacalli in Mexico City. Staged in the museum founded by Diego Rivera to house his collection of pre-Columbian art, the exhibition brought together new works across the museum’s garden and gallery spaces, recently renovated to realize Rivera’s vision of establishing a contemporary arts center integrated into its natural surroundings.
