gallery or plant refuge? it’s all good, says sophie morner

Capricious

“I was just out of school and I really had no idea where I could show my work,” explains Sophie Morner of her inspiration for Capricious magazine, which just released its eighth issue. “It turned out that a lot of my friends had no idea where to show their work, either.” A similar inspiration drove Morner to create Capricious Space in Williamsburg. The new gallery opened on Friday with a show of photos from the new Capricious magazine; later this month, the space will play host to an exhibit featuring work by artists such as Mirabelle Marden. Future shows in the works will be guest-curated by the likes of photographer Collier Schorr and Hedi Slimane. For all the starriness, Morner is characteristically low-key about her new project. “I don’t even want to call it a gallery, you know? I’d like it to be a place where lots of stuff can happen, like we can have a thrift shop for plants, for example.” A thrift shop for plants? “Well, people move, and they have these plants that get left behind. I’ll be happy if Capricious can be the place for those kinds of random things.”
