In a landmark event for the New York and
Asian contemporary art communities, Arario Gallery—with branches in Cheonan and
Seoul, Korea, and Beijing, China—will open a fourth gallery in New York City’s
Chelsea gallery district on November 10, 2007. Presenting work by world-renowned
and emerging Asian contemporary artists, with a focus on China, India, and Korea,
Arario Gallery has proven itself a leader in the field, mounting major surveys like
Hungry God – Indian Contemporary Art and ABSOLUTE IMAGES – Chinese
Contemporary Art and Zeitgeist, both benchmarks in exhibitions devoted to the work
of Asian artists. With its new space in New York, Arario Gallery will present the
explosive creative spirit of Asia that is being celebrated in many of the artists’ home
countries to a Western audience through similarly significant group and solo
exhibitions. Located at 521 West 25th Street, Second Floor with a dedicated streetfront
entrance, Arario Gallery New York is designed by acclaimed contemporary
architect David Adjaye.
With approximately 7,000 square feet of exhibition space, the New York branch of
Arario Gallery is expected to be among the largest commercial galleries in New York
City upon completion. The gallery will consist of two main exhibition spaces: a larger
space devoted to longer-running exhibitions of established artists from China, India
and Korea and a second, smaller project space featuring emerging and newlydiscovered
artists, all presented to further Arario Gallery’s goal of building a cultural
and educational bridge between east and west through the works of Asia’s greatest
contemporary artists. |
