Gilles Chalandon Episode1

New York, NY- Space 776 is pleased to present Swim This Way, an exhibition of new portraits by Gilles André Chalandon, curated by Younghye Whang, on view from September 11th through September 26th at 37-39 Clinton Street in the Lower East Side. Opening Reception: Friday, September 11, 6-8 pm "Last year in July, I flew to Dover, the UK with Jasmin and Jozef to crew for our friend Brad during his second swim across the English Channel. Excited by the anticipation of Brad’s endeavor I took this opportunity to work on live portraits." - Gilles André Chalandon His approach is to execute quick sketches on a drawing pad, “snapping the shot” – as he would with a camera – when he liked the image. The best times were moments of movement and tension, like when he and his friends all had to get ready to leave the Dover Bed & Breakfast, or at the rocky harbor beach before a practice swims in the cold water. The paintings are on paper, finished with watercolor, India ink, and water-based acrylic markers. With no formal art education, except time spent with his painter uncle, he draws inspiration from his travels to Japan, Australia, and the Philippine Islands, working for interior designers in his professional life, being an open water swimmer, and the simplicity of Keith Haring’s work, which he first saw riding the number 6, NYC subway line in the fall of 1984. *Visitors must keep masks on at all times and max. 4 visitors in the space at once. Hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 12 pm - 6 pm Space776 is an international contemporary art gallery with spaces in New York and Seoul. For inquiries, please contact at i​nfo@space776.com

Andy H. Jung: Life and Karma

September 25 – October 21, 2020 New York, NY- Space 776 is pleased to present Life and Karma, an exhibition of new photography by Andy H. Jung, on view from September 25th through October 21st at 37-39 Clinton Street in the Lower East Side. In his first show with Space 776, he introduces the Plants series, which he has begun in 2005. The new works in the series capture and elaborate upon an instinctual reaction between humans and plants in a natural setting. Using photography, the artist represents this through the themes of Life and Karma. The represented works use multiple photographs spliced together using a technique akin to quilting that connects both horizontally and vertically using white and red threads. This transforms a large number of photos into a singular piece. “For a long time, I have been observing plants that are common around us. One day, I found a mysterious but familiar figure in them. Although they are immovable beings, I can see their aggressive and defensive shape in them at every moment. It was like the instinct of our humans.” The artist has chosen these colors for their symbolic meaning. In East Asian tradition, the color white signifies life, while red signifies karma, fate, or opportunity. Many works concerning karma speak that we, as individual people, meet countless opportunities and fateful relationships throughout our lives. However, it is not easy for one to connect them with our lives, expressing the different weight and feeling of life that one feels at each moment through the extra brightness and exposure in each picture. Andy Hwan-Young Jung (b.1978, South Korea) received his MFA from the Pratt Institute and BFA in Fine Art Photography from San Francisco Art Institute. He has shown extensively in Seoul, New York, Milano, and London; United Nations, Boroomsan Museum of Art, Diego Rivera Gallery, Donggang International Photo Festival, Kim Jong Bok Museum of Art, Keumsan Gallery. Jung won the Leica Award for artist of the year in 2019 and was named Official Ambassador for Nikon Imaging Korea in 2020. Andy H. Jung lives and works in Seoul, South Korea. Space776 is an international contemporary art gallery with spaces in New York and Seoul. For all inquiries, please contact at info@space776.com ​www.space776.com https://www.instagram.com/space_776/

Contemporary American Artists: Breaking Boundaries

SPACE776 Seoul Contemporary American Artists: Breaking Boundaries October 12 - November 19, 2024 SPACE776 Seoul is pleased to present "Breaking Boundaries," a group exhibition featuring contemporary American artists Aboudia, Alexandra Grant, and Richard Prince. "Breaking Boundaries" features 10 works by Aboudia, which blend elements of traditional African culture with contemporary art to explore new forms of expression, 10 works by Alexandra Grant that cross the boundaries between language and imagery by combining various media, and 4 works by Richard Prince that blur the lines between pop culture and art. Each artist attempts to break down existing boundaries in art and culture in their own way. "Breaking Boundaries" explores how identity and cultural expression are evolving in the globalized modern world. Aboudia's depictions of urban chaos, Alexandra Grant's exploration of language, and Richard Prince's appropriation art each reveal, through different mediums, the ways in which boundaries are formed and dismantled. SPACE776 Seoul은 현대 미국 작가 Aboudia와 Alexandra Grant, 그리고 Richard Prince의 3인전 "경계 허물기"를 개최합니다. 전시는 전통적인 아프리카 문화와 현대 예술의 요소를 융합하여 새로운 표현 방식을 찾아내는 Aboudia의 작품 10점과, 언어와 이미지를 넘나들며 다양한 매체를 결합하는 Alexandra Grant의 작품 10점, 그리고 대중문화와 예술의 경계를 흐리게 만드는 Richard Prince의 작품 4점으로 구성되어 있습니다. 세 작가는 각자 기존의 예술과 문화적 경계를 허무는 시도를 합니다. 이번 "경계 허물기" 전시는 글로벌화된 현대사회에서 정체성과 문화적 표현이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지 탐구합니다. Aboudia의 도시의 혼란을 담은 작품, Alexandra Grant의 언어에 대한 탐구, 그리고 Richard Prince의 차용 미술은 각기 다른 매체를 통해 경계가 형성되고 무너지는 과정을 관객들에게 보여줍니다.

Taher Jaoui: Dreaming of Coconut

SPACE776 Seoul Taher Jaoui: Dreaming of Coconut August 29 - September 26, 2024 "Dreaming of Coconuts" is a dream of tranquility, natural beauty, and the warmth of an island paradise, where worries are few and the days are filled with leisurely moments under the sun. This theme encapsulates the essence of the exhibition, offering a serene escape through art into a world where simplicity and peace reign. Taher Jaoui’s captivating and labor-intensive works continue the legacy of the abstract expressionism movement from the 50s and 60s. His paintings are rich assemblages of layered forms, vibrant colors, expressive gestures, and mathematical signs and formulas. These elements are dynamically applied on canvas, resulting from a physical back-and-forth dialogue where perspective and orientation continuously shift until balance is achieved. Taher Jaoui의 이번 전시 "코코넛을 꿈꾸며" 는 평온함과 자연의 아름다움, 섬 낙원의 따뜻함에 대한 꿈입니다. 걱정이 없고, 태양 아래에서 여유로운 순간들로 가득 찬 일상을 담고 있습니다. 이 전시는 이러한 테마를 통해 단순함과 평화가 지배하는 세계로의 고요한 탈출을 예술로 제공하고자 합니다. Taher Jaoui의 매력적이고 정교한 작업은 1950년대와 60년대의 추상 표현주의 운동의 유산을 이어가고 있습니다. 그의 그림은 층을 이루는 형태, 생동감 넘치는 색상, 표현적인 제스처, 수학 기호와 공식이 풍부하게 조합된 작품입니다. 이러한 요소들은 캔버스에 역동적으로 적용되며, 시각과 방향이 계속해서 변하는 물리적 상호 작용을 통해 모든 요소가 균형을 이루는 결과물을 만들어냅니다.

Michelle Sakhai: Awakening

SPACE776 Seoul Michelle Sakhai: Awakening July 19 - August 21, 2024 SPACE776 Seoul is pleased to present Awakening - a solo show of recent paintings by Michelle Sakhai. In "Awakening", each painting focuses on light and energy, each spontaneous stroke serves as a vehicle for healing and channeling peace. Using metal leaf and oils on canvas her process can be described as emotionally transformative and spiritually expansive. The artist’s approach to painting floral motifs and landscapes reflects her formal background as a plein-air painter, however her work today also encompasses the style of abstract expressionism. Born in New York, Sakhai began painting at an early age. Her mixed heritage has shaped her as an artist. With both Persian and Japanese roots, her art derives influences from both cultures. Family trips to Japan initially exposed her to metal leaf and inspired her to become a pioneer in this medium. SPACE776 Seoul은 개관과 동시에 Michelle Sakhai의 최신작 시리즈 "Awakening"을 소개합니다. "Awakening"에서 각 붓의 획은 빛과 에너지를 중심으로 퍼져나가며, 자유로운 붓질은 치유와 평화를 전달하는 매개체로 작용합니다. 캔버스 위에 금박 잎과 유화를 사용하여 이미지를 만들어가는 그녀의 작업과정은 감정적으로 변혁적이고 영적으로 확장적이라고 설명할 수 있습니다. 꽃과 풍경을 그리는 그녀의 접근 방식은 그녀의 전 시리즈 야외 풍경화를 반영하지만, 현재 그녀의 작품은 잭슨 폴락과 같은 추상 표현주의 작품의 기법을 따릅니다. 뉴욕에서 태어난 Sakhai는 어린 나이에 그림을 그리기 시작했습니다. 페르시아와 일본의 뿌리를 가진 그녀는 두 문화로부터 영향을 받았고, 그 혼합된 유산은 그녀를 독특한 예술가가 될수있게 형성했습니다. 가족 여행을 통해 일본을 방문하면서 처음으로 금박 세공기법을 접하게 되었고, 영감을 얻어 이 매체를 사용하는 작가로 성장하였습니다.
HOLY FAME!

HOLY FAME!

SPACE776 New York HOLY FAME! December 15, 2023 - January 12, 2024 Featured artists: Dave Alexander, Dasha Bazanova, Miriam Carothers, Elena Chestnykh, Emilia Durka, Rafael Fuchs, Sarah Fuhrman, Pat Jackson, Ambre Kelly+ Andrew Gori, Morgan Jesse Lappin, Liz-N-Val, Frank Olt + Andy Warhol, James Prez, Yusuke Ochiai, Marcus Glitteris, Jeffrey Allen Price. SPACE776 New York is excited to present HOLY FAME - a group exhibition that delves into the intricate and often paradoxical relation between devotion, celebrity, and society. The concept of the HOLY isn't exclusively tied to spiritual or religious devotions. There are numerous secular constructs that we might consider as HOLY in the metaphorical sense; our environment, our rights as human beings, our education, the Arts and our culture, our society’s scientific progress, community, and collective ideals such as justice, equality, and freedom. There will always be mysteries that will keep us unfulfilled, but accepting what we don’t know perhaps frees us to aim at and find that which is true. There are ideas worthy of devotion and those that are not. Our artists, in this exhibit, examine these choices. In an era where FAME and celebrity hold an unprecedented sway over our collective imagination, this exhibition invites the viewer to contemplate the blurred boundaries between the secular and the sacred, our fanaticism and fascination with the famous, and the impact of these fractured devotions on our spiritual and societal values. As the internet divides the larger population (with fewer news sources) into smaller clans with opposing world views what does it take to rise above the division and an idea be galvanized by a whole society not just as spectacle, but also for some good? Because, unfortunately, we humans don’t just find the “good” fascinating, we also seem to elevate the darker sides of humanity. HOLY FAME is a reflection of these two ideals, sometimes in harmony and other times in conflict…
