One of the more visionary spaces to inhabit Soho’s new cultural landscape, Dactyl explores the merging of art and science through visual and written languages. Using this as a basis for their foundation and exhibition space, Dactyl has grown into a hub where artists, writers, philosophers, filmmakers and intellectuals assemble, with personalities as diverse as Helena Christensen, Michel Gondry, Larry Clark and the street artist Neck Face exhibiting work in the gallery. Founded in 1996 by painter and neighborhood fixture Neil Grayson and novelist and teoligist Victoria N. Alexander, the nonprofit remains one of the rare spaces where art and ideas can be explored free from the demands of commercial markets.
