Feature opened on April Fool’s Day 1984, in a second floor space at 340 West Huron St., Chicago.
In August 1988, the gallery moved to NYC and opened in October at 484 Broome St.
Soon after the move, the 340 W. Huron building burned to the ground; Feature escaped just in time.
Feature relocated to 76 Greene St. in September 1993, and became Feature Inc. in January 1994.
The move to 530 W. 25 St. occurred in October 1999.
Feature Inc. reincarnated in September 2008 at 276 Bowery, delighted to be back downtown, however
two days after opening the economic crash happened and life there was short lived.
Mid-December 2009, Feature reopened in its sixth space at 131 Allen St., still on the Lower East Side.
At all the aforementioned locations, Feature contained two or more exhibition spaces, so that several exhibitions could be presented simultaneously.
Hudson, Feature's founder and mainstay for almost 30 years, died unexpectedly in his New York apartment on February 10th, 2014. He was 63.
