Swivel Gallery and MARC STRAUS launch inaugural group exhibition Intro following merger
Swivel Gallery and MARC STRAUS have kicked off their first exhibition together, called Intro, following their recent merger. This group showcase features artists like Sonia Jia, Kiah Celeste, NH Depass, and others, including Edgar Orlaineta and Amy Bravo. Instead of a single theme, the exhibition allows for a collaborative exploration through various forms like painting and sculpture. The artists delve into how we create meaning with language, materials, and our memories, while also addressing the visual aspects of daily life. Abstraction serves both as a style and a mental space. The exhibition reflects a unified curatorial vision that values material authenticity, rich concepts, and promotes artists who enhance global contemporary discussions.
