Jun 20 - Jul 22, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next [C1] New York Beautiful Rupture Jun 20 - Jul 22, 2025 Bret Price / Kelly Berg / Mark Acetelli / Moon Insoo / Kimi Kim Wittling INTRO "Beauty is not found in perfection, but in the moment it begins to break." Beautiful Rupture is a group exhibition that explores the tension and harmony born at the threshold between beauty and destruction, form and disintegration, nature and artifice. Through distinct materials and visual vocabularies, artists Kelly Berg, Mark Acetelli, Moon Insoo, and Kimi Kim reveal the quiet violence and fragile truths that lie beneath the surface of the beautiful. Kelly Berg evokes the power of shifting earth and volcanic eruptions — her paintings are charged with deep reds and fissured textures that speak to the sublime, overwhelming presence of nature. Mark Acetelli captures the serenity of the ocean, not as a passive subject, but as a contemplative surface teeming with silent depth and unspoken force. Moon Insoo sculpts with concrete, using an industrial material to channel memory, erosion, and the scars of time embedded in urban life. Kimi Kim deconstructs the iconic Chanel bag in ceramic, transforming a symbol of luxury into fragile artifacts that question desire, illusion, and the commodification of beauty. This exhibition does not portray rupture as an end, but as a beginning — a site of potential. Each artist invites us to consider how beauty is reshaped through breakage, tension, and transformation. A rupture is both collapse and emergence, fragility and power. In Beautiful Rupture, we encounter that delicate moment when beauty trembles, fractures, and redefines itself.

Apr 3 - May 6, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next [C1] New York Illuminated Reflection Apr 3 - May 6, 2025 Jimi Gleason INTRO In Illuminated Reflection, Jimi Gleason invites viewers into a luminous realm where light is not merely an element, but a guiding force—shaping perception, revealing form, and transforming space. Guided by Light, as the artist describes, is both a philosophy and a process; it is the invisible collaborator behind each surface, each layer, and each shift in color or sheen. Working primarily with silver nitrate and iridescent pigments on canvas, Gleason explores the interplay between light and materiality. His recent works—featured in this New York solo exhibition—extend beyond the traditional boundaries of painting, transforming static surfaces into reflective environments that evolve with the viewer’s movement and the space’s ambient light. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, Gleason offers a meditative experience: one that encourages stillness, observation, and the subtle revelations that occur when the ordinary is illuminated. His work challenges us to slow down and see—truly see—not just what lies on the surface, but what is shaped by the unseen presence of light. As we navigate the luminous passages of Illuminated Reflection, we are reminded that light is not just what helps us perceive the world—it is also what reveals our place within it.

Dec 12, 2024 - Jan 18, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next [C1] New York The Essence of Perception Dec 12, 2024 - Jan 18, 2025 Shane Guffogg / Kim Kang Yong / Kim Sea Joong INTRO "The Essence of Perception: Time, Reality, and Light" This exhibition centers on three artists who pose profound philosophical questions, using their art to explore and challenge the nature of human perception and understanding. The themes of time, reality, and light go beyond their visual representations, prompting a deeper reflection on how we experience and interpret the world. Time : Shane Guffogg Shane Guffogg asks, "How can I condense time and space into a single moment?" His works transcend the linear flow of time and space, merging them into a unified moment of infinite potential. Through layered abstraction and a complex interplay of colors and forms, Guffogg invites viewers to experience the simultaneity of eternity within a fleeting instant. His art challenges us to reconsider time not as a rigid construct but as a fluid and expansive dimension. Reality : Kim Kang Yong Kim Kang Yong poses the question, "Is what I see truly real?" Through his brick artworks, he examines the fundamental nature of perception, exploring the tension between visual illusion and physical reality. The bricks, which appear both tangible and ethereal, disrupt our assumptions about the material world. His work compels us to confront the subjectivity of our experiences, questioning the line between what we perceive and what truly exists. Light : Kim Sea Joong Kim Sea Joong inquires, "How can light be embodied on a flat surface?" This exploration extends into space and semi-relief works, where light becomes more than a visual element—it becomes a medium that defines and reshapes spatial experience. Through his innovative approach, Kim Se Joong blurs the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, offering a transcendent interplay of light and shadow that invites viewers to reconsider the role of light in shaping perception. "The Essence of Perception" is perfectly aligned with the reflective and hopeful spirit of the holiday and New Year season. As the year comes to an end and a new one begins, this exhibition invites visitors to pause and reflect on timeless questions about how we perceive and interpret the world. It is an opportunity to connect with the universal themes of time, reality, and light, while embracing the transformative power of art to reimagine what we see and believe. Through this exhibition, we invite you on a philosophical journey where each work offers not answers but questions—an invitation to engage, reflect, and imagine new possibilities. "The Essence of Perception" reminds us of art’s unique ability to expand our horizons, challenge our assumptions, and illuminate the familiar in extraordinary ways. INSTALLATION VIEWS ARTWORK

Jun 20 - 27, 2024 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next [C1] New York MUSEUM COLLECTION Jun 20 - 27, 2024 Yuri Gorbachev INTRO Museum Collection June 20, 2024 - July 27, 2024 Gallery Chang is pleased to announce a solo exhibition featuring the work of the internationally renowned Russian-American artist, Yuri Gorbachev. Drawing inspiration from his childhood memory in Russia, the radiant jewel tones of Byzantine art, and the intricate craftsmanship of Peter Carl Fabergé, a famous Russian goldsmith, Gorbachev creates vivid, richly textured paintings through the use of oil, gold, silver, and bronze. Gorbachev’s work, characterized by the application of specially formulated lacquer and glazing techniques, reflects his classical training and expertise in ceramics acquired in Russia. Gorbachev, born in the Soviet Union in 1948, established a successful career as a ceramicist specializing in sculpture in his home country. His native region of Novgorod (Новгород) produced one of the foremost schools of icon paintings, established by Andrei Rublyov, who was a disciple of the renowned Byzantine artist Feofan the Greek. Gorbachev regards Rublyov as a major influence on his art, alongside Picasso, Rousseau, Kandinsky, and Malevich. In 1991, upon arriving in the US, Gorbachev transitioned from ceramics to working with oil on canvas, making the beginning of the most prolific period of his career. Since then, Gorbachev has exhibited his work in nearly three hundred exhibitions worldwide. His works also have been widely collected by renowned international galleries and museums, including the Russian National Museum, the Louvre, the National Armenian Gallery, and the Clinton White House, among others. Gorbachev's global appearances have enabled him to extensively travel, particularly in Asia. The inspiration he gained from his trips to Asia has profoundly shaped his art-making, leading him to weave the cultural influences from his journeys and childhood memories into his canvas. In 1995, Gorbachev went to Bali, and the profound impact of this previously unfamiliar culture led him to incorporate Indonesian motifs, such as floral patterns, as a central element in his still-life series. Gorbachev’s longing for his homeland also plays an important role in his art. In his landscapes series, Gorbachev channels this nostalgia into a vibrant kaleidoscope of Russian scenes. His works depict vivid visual imagery, including a racing troika (a type of Russian carriage) and buildings reminiscent of Moscow’s iconic St Basil’s Cathedral, against the backdrop of snowy, idyllic countryside. Sometimes Gorbachev blends a diverse array of visual tropes from still life and landscape series into one canvas, featuring wild animals, lush flora, and enigmatic figures carrying a symbol of the sun, moon, and star. His unique way of juxtaposing various cultural influences yields paintings that reinterpret both Asian and Russian myths, fairy tales, and landscapes, thereby opening up a realm of curiosity and imagination. Notably, Gorbachev’s art stands out for its ability to interweave diverse cultures and imagery, brought to life through vibrant colors, dynamic figures, and imagination. INSTALLATION VIEWS ARTWORK

JUL 4 - 30, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next [C4] Seoul To Glow in the Afterglow JUL 4 - 30, 2025 Mark Acetelli INTRO To Glow in the Afterglow: 빛의 잔상 어떤 감정은 바로 다가오지 않는다. 대신, 잔광처럼 스쳐 지나가고 어느 날 조용히 되살아난다. Mark Acetelli의 회화는 그 찰나의 기억을 잡아두려는 시도이자, 잔광 사이에서 빛나는 마크의 기억들을 하나하나 꺼내어 화면 위에 쌓아올리는 과정이다. “작업은 늘 변화하고 흐른다. 물처럼 흘러가고, 그 흐름 안에서 진심을 계속 꺼내야 한다.” 그는 말한다. 오랫동안 방치된 플라스틱 컵 속 물감을 다시 꺼내보기도 하고, 색은 네 가지, 다섯 가지를 섞어 그날의 감정을 간신히 만든다고. 요리처럼, 본능처럼. 그렇게 탄생한 화면은 정리되지 않는다. 오히려 결과에 대한 집착을 놓아버리고, 과정을 받아들이는 법을 보여준다. 이번 전시 《빛의 잔상》은 This Too Shall Pass, Be Like Water, Hope, Currant and Flow 등 작가의 대표작들을 통해 사라진 감정의 끝자락이 마지막으로 반짝이는 순간을 기록한다. 빛이 다 스러진 후에도 남는 온기. 그 사이에서 마크의 감정은 여전히, 우리 안으로 조용히 스며든다.

JUL 25 – AUG 5, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next [C1] New York / [C3] Middletown CHASE Project: Phase Shift JUL 25 – AUG 5, 2025 Shin Kiwoun / Kim Hongbin / Anon / Anikoon / Im Jibin / Koo Nahyun INTRO CHASE Project: Phase Shift Once a proud symbol of financial power, first as the Bank of New York in the 1960s and then as Chase Bank in the 1990s, this building no longer serves its original purpose. In an age shaped by a global pandemic and rapid digitalization, grand bank buildings like this have become obsolete. The meaning and function of this space have reached a turning point. Now, with only its steel skeleton and memories remaining, the building stands on the brink of transformation. Reborn as “The Bank,” it will become a hybrid cultural space where food, art, and residence converge. The exhibition CHASE Project: Phase Shift marks the beginning of that transformation. It is both a statement and a scene of change. “Phase Shift” refers not to simple change, but to a fundamental transformation in function and meaning. The six participating artists respond not only to the building’s physical structure, but also to the emotional, cultural, and existential resonances carried within this shift. Shin Kiwoun approaches the essence of existence through physical abrasion and disintegration. Using sanders and grinders, he wears down various everyday objects such as coins, figurines, cassette tapes, books, and cell phones. His process erases form while embedding time and memory into the material. This gesture was inspired by a semiotic question he encountered in graduate school: is a chair better represented through an image, a word, or its real presence? Ultimately, he began to wonder about the chair in its molecular or atomic form. What began as a material experiment evolved into a meditative practice. Objects with vivid colors and clear structures are ground down into a gray powder, revealing the boundary between presence and absence, between memory and forgetting. His work questions how a stripped object might recover meaning, and suggests that transformation can be a quiet return to essence. Kim Hong Bin visualizes the inner reality of change through layered clashes of color and texture. Paint accumulates on canvas, only to be scratched, torn, and burst. Within the boldness of primary color and apparent chaos lie fragments of feeling, memories of rupture. His compositions remind us that transformation often breaks equilibrium and calls for new structures to emerge. Anon constructs sculptural surfaces that express sensory layering, using color and texture as core visual language. Through repetition—layering, tearing, rolling, attaching—she creates bas-relief works using textiles, paper, and fiber. These forms stimulate both touch and sight, forming spaces that resonate emotionally. Her compositions, both rhythmic and organic, breathe quiet vitality into the architectural shell. In this exhibition, she lends warmth and emotional texture to a transitional space, gently illuminating the inner tremors of change. Anikoon proposes a playful and sensory response to change through whimsical form and color. His robot-like sculptures, adorned with buttons, gears, and vibrant hues, are not functional machines but agents of imagination. Beyond their visual charm, they speak to the joy and surprise we hope to find in unfamiliar moments of transition. Im Jibin reactivates abandoned spaces by combining architectural scale with poetic imagination. His large, balloon-like figures press out through windows or emerge from vacant interiors. These playful interventions bring humor and energy back into deserted structures. His work visualizes a longing for spaces where people might gather again and reconnect. Koo Nahyun captures the persistence of human intimacy within environments in flux. Drawn directly onto walls, her figures and animals share quiet moments of warmth, even in the midst of collapse. The faded tones echo the building’s incompleteness, while her compositions remind us that familiar emotions can survive inside unfamiliar spaces. Change does not always mean something new. Sometimes, it is what stays that matters most. This is no longer a vault, but a vessel for possibility. marks the beginning of that transformation. INSTALLATION VIEWS ARTWORK
