Back to all projects     Gery Vargas is a Peruvian-American research-based artist working across time based media, sculpture and installation. Interested in exploring material histories and narratives embedded within the land and architectural vernacular, she seeks to unearth stories often lost through time and displacement, provoking questions of identity and belonging. Her work navigates grief, abjection, territories, and la lengua mestiza as she embraces the contradictions of diasporic self and mysticizes worlds of communication. 

Vargas has exhibited in NYC, Lima, Peru, Providence, RI, and Denver, CO, and has attended residencies at Materia Abierta (MX) and After School Club (DE).

Gery Vargas has received her MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and B.Arch from Syracuse University.

    Savage Fenty


    Location: Downtown Brooklyn, NY
    Role: Spatial Designer (Concept)
    Status: Concept Design
    Team: In collaboration with WESHOULDDOITALL

    Located across the Barclays Center in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, the Fenty Savage team was set to open its large flagship store. The unique building shape and architecture created a lot of constraints with NYC code in regards to the maximum square footage that was able to be used for retail,  but also pushed us to play around with the mezzanine level as a more experiential stage.

    With Fenty’s various collections attracting many personas and customers the rooms were designed as scenes and backdrops of different color ways and themes, creating custom display cases to tie in the retail experience. The mezzanine level specifically was proposed as a media room with screens for branding and for images that people could take in front of the billboard.
