SPECTALiA, the 6th edition of the Every Woman Biennial
March 8 - April 11, 2026
Pen + Brush Gallery
29 E 22nd St, New York, NY
It was awesome to be a part of this wild, hilarious, and colorful Every Woman Biennial edition! Thanks for having yellow Marie and I.
"A century ago, movements like Cabaret, Dada, and Surrealism were artists’ responses to social and political unrest. One hundred years later, we ask: What are we building in a troubled world that’s moving faster than we can grasp? Our answer? SPECTALiA. In an age of distracting algorithms and spectacular seduction, we’re blurring binaries—of gender, canvas and screen, sense and nonsense."

“Kopenhaver’s work confronts viewers with the animal instinct beneath urban polish. Fur coats, stares, and charged surfaces expose the politics of visibility: who watches, who reacts, who recoils. Her pieces operate like emotional X-rays, revealing aggression, seduction, and self-protection in equal measure. The silhouetted eyes haunt like surveillance footage, turning intimacy into confrontation. Her images sit between glamour and threat, duality distilled.”

Michela invited me to her studio
Michela Martello’s Third Eye Residency Project at COPE NYC proposed a collaborative framework, which involved 7 artists. The project is based on research that drawing blindfolded can stimulate a sphere of our senses that often remain asleep, these reactivated spheres ignite a series of electrical micro magnetisms in our body that act on endorphins, on the thalamus, and on the third eye, making us joyful and more present in the moment. Michela asked Kopenhaver to work in words for her piece, and Kopenhaver documented the collaboration with 35mm film.

Not For Sale
NOT FOR SALE, is for anyone who has ever felt commodified. It’s for all the individuals affected directly or indirectly by traumas, it’s for the people who want to express boundaries, ditch the guidelines, speak up, challenge power, it’s for the ones who reject the pretty pictures and build their own path.
You’re a human, and you aren’t for sale.

The Manhattan Poems
New Jersey poet Daniel de la Fé returns with his fifth collection of poems, reflecting on a pre-and post-lockdown New York City. Accompanying these poems are the powerful images of multimedia artist and photographer Katelyn Kopenhaver. Her work lends the symbolic visual counterpart to the reader's textual experience, which truly brings The Manhattan Poems together into a coherent and conceptual whole with multiple layers of meaning, a hallmark of all of de la Fé's works.
