About

From 1996-2006, the gallery at CAVE showed the work of over 300 artists becoming a locus for experimentation in all mediums. CAVE Gallery began as a venture of Shige Moriya and a group of artists in the mid-90’s. Fostered from an industrial rental, they transformed the 3,000 sq ft garage into a live-work space, which was considered to be one of the first recognized galleries of the neighborhood. Away from heavy commercial pressure, in an environment that supported exploration, artists were able to present ‘nakedly’ by offering completed and in-progress works and receiving feedback from peers. In addition to studio arts, openings often included music and other kinds of performances.

The LEIMAY Community: A Vital Part of Artistic Growth

“The LEIMAY community has become a cherished part of my life as a working artist and educator in NYC, where I’ve been situated for over forty years. There is an admirable understanding of the delicate relationships between art-making and living here, with enormous investment in both individual and collective development…” - Peggy Gould
ON THE ROAD & DEAD END

“She is simply breathtaking, possessing a supple body that seems to have no spine, yet is anchored on a steel spike of consummate control. She is inspired by the natural elements, and her slow, methodical, yet radiantly beautiful explorations of physicality take her dance to a higher plane” Dance International

From: Village Voice - 7 March 2000 - by Jason Gross “-- none of these match the Cave, a Williamsburg venue that aggressively combines all manner of media. It’s one thing to buy an abandoned garage and turn it into a gallery/performance space, but Shige Moriya, along with a group of other artists, also decided to call it home.” “-- Breaking free from the worn-out models of conventional galleries and spaces, the Cave proves that different arts and media can not only coexist but enhance each other.”

From: NY Arts Magazine – The Scene – Williamsburg, Brooklyn – by Yuko Nii “In 1996 the CAVE Galley opened the first recognized art gallery on the Southside, run by Shige Moriya and Naoki Iwakawa, which is considered by many to be the foremost avant garde fine art and performing space.”

From: NY ARTS – vol 4 no 10 – by Sean Bosker “A gallery where people still look at art? Of course it's underground. It's The CAVE, a Brooklyn gallery/performance space guaranteed to attack your senses Godzilla-style.
