Invisible-Exports was a contemporary art gallery located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. It was co-owned and directed by Risa Needleman and Benjamin Tischer and was recognized for housing provocative and controversial exhibitions.[1] The gallery represented a small roster of avant-garde artists, including iconic artist Genesis P-Orridge.[2] It was part of a network of galleries in the LES, referred to as a "gallery district."
