C1 - New York C4- Seoul C2 - Middletown C3 - Englewood VAULT Archive EXHIBITIONS C1 - New York C1 | NEW YORK ON VIEW | Jul 18 - July 14, 2026 GROUP Exhibition Structure and Texture brings together five artists whose practices explore the dynamic tension between material presence and visual perception. Working across painting, sculpture, and textile-based abstraction, each artist approaches structure not as a fixed framework, but as something built, fractured, layered, and continually reimagined. From sculptural construction and compressed form to atmospheric surfaces and tactile rhythms, the works reveal how texture can shape both the physical body of an artwork and the viewer’s experience of space. The exhibition invites audiences to encounter texture not merely as a sensory quality, but as a conceptual language through which rhythm, memory, density, and meaning emerge.

Featuring Stephen Robert Johns, Kim Hongbin, Kim Mine, and Rokkan Kim, this three-day presentation brings together diverse artistic voices that reflect America as both a historical idea and a living cultural landscape—shaped by freedom, imagination, identity, migration, technology, and creative exchange. Held in New York from July 3–5, the pop-up invites visitors to experience Independence Day not only as a national celebration, but as an opportunity to reconsider what America means today through art, memory, and possibility. Read More C4- Seoul C4 | SEOUL On View | MAY 1 - JUN 2, 2026 SOLO Exhibition Choi Woolga: Raw Signal Choi Woolga transforms the canvas into a field of primal energy, drawing on primitive colors, rhythmic figures, and instinctive symbols that seem to emerge from the unconscious. Inspired by the visual language of cave paintings and expressions that precede fixed systems of language and order, his works unfold through cryptic signs, simplified forms, and a raw, playful sense of movement. Rather than depicting the visible world, Choi evokes a more elemental realm of memory, impulse, and human emotion, where painting becomes a direct record of inner sensation. Raw Signal reveals a visual language that feels at once ancient and immediate, an untamed rhythm of consciousness made visible through color, gesture, and symbolic force. READ MORE Upcoming | Jun 4 - 30, 2026 Group Exhibition 구조와 질감 Steven Seinberg / Mark Acetelli / Anon Gallery Chang Seoul is pleased to present Structure & Texture, a group exhibition featuring Steven Seinberg, Mark Acetelli, and Anon, on view from June 4 to June 30, 2026. Bringing together three artists with distinct yet resonant visual languages, the exhibition explores the relationship between form, surface, and material presence. Across painterly gesture, layered composition, and textile-based abstraction, their works reveal how structure and texture shape not only the visual architecture of an artwork, but also the viewer’s sensory, spatial, and emotional experience. Together, the exhibition invites a deeper consideration of how materiality becomes a language of rhythm, depth, and perception.

PRESS SBS NEWS | JAN 13, 2026 Cho Yong ik: A Journey of Self-Negation and the Evolution of Korean Abstraction We are pleased to introduce the profound artistic legacy of Cho Yong Ik, a titan of Korean modern art whose work serves as a vital bridge across the history of Korean abstraction. A recent retrospective highlights his evolution from early figurative experimentation to the serene heights of Dansaekhwa (monochrome painting). From Figurative Roots to the Informel Movement Cho Yong-ik’s journey began in the late 1950s. His early works, such as the 1957 piece depicting a boy with an accordion, display a sophisticated understanding of cubist structures reminiscent of Picasso. During this period, his "Expressionist" techniques—characterized by raw, vigorous brushwork—earned him early acclaim in the National Art Exhibition. Soon after, he became a central figure in the Korean Informel movement, utilizing thick, textured knife marks to explore the primal origins of life and materiality. The Rhythms of Deletion: Pointillism and Wave Patterns In the 1970s, Cho’s style underwent a dramatic transformation. He began a meticulous process of "erasing" through dots—a technique akin to musical staccato. This rhythmic repetition evolved into the iconic wave patterns that defined his contribution to the Dansaekhwa era. For Cho, these repetitive gestures were not merely aesthetic; they were a way to deepen his philosophical contemplation through symbols and the physical act of painting. The Philosophy of "Self-Negation" and the "Mushim" Series In his later years, Cho achieved a state of artistic transcendence known as Mushim (mindlessness). In this phase, he painted bamboo leaves with effortless, unadorned touches, reaching a meditative state of "Simui" (the depth of the mind). Cho Yong-ik famously defined the core of modern art as "Self-Negation." He believed that by constantly erasing each moment of his past life and work, he could clear the path for the creation of a new existence. This philosophy of continuous renewal remains a cornerstone of Korean contemporary art.

His latest exhibition captures the silent, majestic movements of the cosmos onto the canvas. The Interweaving of Infinite Lines Guffogg’s canvases are filled with countless thin, interwoven lines with no discernible beginning or end. As dozens of these layers accumulate, they create a sense of deep space—an abyss that resembles the orbital paths of planets. These lines represent the history of stars, born hundreds of thousands of light-years ago, whose light is only now reaching our eyes. Technique: A Devotional Process The artist’s unique technique involves binding three brushes of different sizes together, moving them in unison to translate the infinite world onto the canvas. This repetitive process of drawing slender, trajectory-like lines is akin to a spiritual practice or a seeker’s meditation. The Intersection of Past and Present Inspired by images from the James Webb Space Telescope, Guffogg focuses on the flow of time and space. His philosophy is rooted in the idea that what we perceive as the "past" (the light from distant stars) is actually our "present." His work challenges the viewer to face the traces of yesterday, the shadows of today, and the brilliance of tomorrow all at once.
- Does Beauty Exist Even in Moments of Rupture?Beautiful Rupture | GALLERY CHANG
Back Does Beauty Exist Even in Moments of Rupture?Beautiful Rupture Gallery Chang Manhattan is presenting the five-artist exhibition Beautiful Rupture from June 20. The show features Bret Price, Kelly Berg, Mark Acetelli, Kimi Kim Wittling, and Moon Insoo, exploring the concept that beauty exists not in perfection, but in moments of rupture and transformation—visualizing an “aesthetics beyond the fracture.” Bret Price challenges perceptions of fixed form through sculptures of steel, bent and twisted into fluid shapes. Kelly Berg presents paintings that symbolically capture perceptual shifts and the energy of nature. Mark Acetelli’s abstract works convey the latent emotions and passage of time beneath the calm surface of the sea, leaving a lasting impression. Kimi Kim Wittling questions the illusions of consumption and beauty through ceramic sculptures inspired by luxury handbags, while Moon Insoo evokes silence, memory, and traces of erosion through paintings with rough, layered surfaces reminiscent of concrete textures. Curator Jinnie Kang of Gallery Chang explained, “The exhibition title Beautiful Rupture reflects an attempt to move beyond the obsession with perfection and to explore truth and beauty found in imperfection. The artists capture these liminal moments using different materials and sensibilities, creating a space where fragmented narratives and sensations harmonize.” Beautiful Rupture runs through July 22, 2025. https://www.nyculturebeat.com/index.php?mid=Lounge2&document_srl=4156359 < >
- Kim Mine
South Korea, 1990 Artist Biography Works Next Kim Mine South Korea, 1990 BIOGRAPHY Kim Mine is a contemporary Korean artist best known for her ongoing character-based practice centered on NOBODY , a teddy-bear-like figure that embodies universal human experience. Stripped of fixed identity—such as age, gender, nationality, or social role—NOBODY functions as an anonymous yet deeply relatable presence, standing in for the ordinary individual navigating everyday life. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, Kim Miné explores moments that are often overlooked: small gestures, quiet emotions, and seemingly meaningless routines. Her work is guided by the idea of “the meaning of the meaningless,” revealing how personal narratives and collective emotions accumulate through ordinary experience. By presenting familiarity without specificity, her practice invites viewers to project their own memories and identities onto the figure, transforming anonymity into empathy. Kim Mine’s work resonates across cultures by addressing shared emotional states rather than individual stories. In her universe, NOBODY becomes everybody—an open vessel through which contemporary life, vulnerability, and connection are gently but persistently examined. --- Kim Mine Solo Exhibitions • NOBODY’s Present : MONSTER Gallery Gwanram, Seoul, South Korea, 2025 • The Present TDA Haus, Seoul, South Korea, 2024 • Meeting Global Luxury NOBODY Doosan Tower Luxury Gallery, Seoul, South Korea, 2023 • NOBODY and EVERYTHING Sesame Museum, Incheon, South Korea, 2023 ⸻ Group Exhibitions & Art Fairs • National Hangeul Museum Exhibition National Museum of World Writing Systems, Incheon, South Korea, 2025 (Group Exhibition) • Group Exhibition Saebyeokseisi Gallery, Incheon, South Korea, 2025 (3-person show) • Art Fair Daegu 2025 EXCO, Daegu, South Korea • Happy NEW Artist Exhibition YK Gallery, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2025 • Gotaek Art Festa 2024 Muju Hyanggyo, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea • URBANBREAK Art Fair 2024 COEX, Seoul, South Korea • 15th Design Art Fair 2024 Seoul Arts Center, Seoul, South Korea • OrangeHare OFFLINE Exhibition Space OrangeHare, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2024 • K-Artist Group Exhibition Gallery Chang, New York, USA, 2024 • Blossom Art Fair Shinsegae Gallery, Seoul, South Korea, 2023 • Affordable Art Fair Battersea Park, London, United Kingdom, 2023 • Gwangju International Art Fair (ART GWANGJU 23) Kim Dae-jung Convention Center, Gwangju, South Korea, 2023 • Blossom the Hope Art Fair 2023 COEX, Seoul, South Korea • MSUC Art Fest 2022 Gallery K, Seoul, South Korea • Blockchain Week in Busan 2022 BEXCO, Busan, South Korea • Plastic Art Seoul (PLAS) 2022 COEX, Seoul, South Korea ⸻ Art Collaborations • Korean National Police Agency × Kim Mine NOBODY “K-HERO” Art Goods Design Project • DEWL × Kim Mine “Dewlian” Character Design, Apparel, Emoticons & Pop-up Store • DEELO × Kim Mine Modular Furniture Project – Spatial Art Direction • POSCA × EPSON × Kim Mine Artist Interview & Live Drawing Collaboration • EPSON × Kim Mine Digital Print Collaboration & Artist Interview • RVN × Kim Mine Apparel Pattern Design Collaboration ⸻ Awards & Selections • Youth Focus Film Festival Selected Artist (Top 5) • Gangnam Green Canvas Project Final Selection (Top 10 Artists) • Art Token × Tent Film Festival Grand Prize (1st Place) • DDP NFT Collecting Vol. 1 Final Selection (Top 10 Artists) • Seoul-ro Media Canvas 2022 Final Selection (Top 10 Artists) ⸻ Lectures & Talks • “The Future of Digital Art and NOBODY” Digital Media Tech Show, KINTEX, Seoul, South Korea • “The Metaverse World and NOBODY” Korea Institute of Engineering & Technology, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea • “The Future of Digital Art and NOBODY” Korea Smart Tech Professionals Association Inauguration Ceremony, Seoul, South Korea WORKS Load More

MAY 27 - JUN 28, 2025 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C4] Seoul Illuminated Silence MAY 27 - JUN 28, 2025 Jimi Gleason INTRO 지미 글리슨: Illuminated Silence 이번 전시는 LA의 William Turner Gallery와 뉴욕의 Gallery Chang에서 4월부터 5월까지 동시기에 진행 중인 개인전으로 시작되어, 서울 전시로 이어지는 Coast to Coast 순회 프로젝트의 마지막 장입니다. 미국 동부와 서부를 연결하는 이 전시는, 지미 그리슨의 작품이 각기 다른 도시의 빛과 공간 속에서 어떻게 감각적으로 변화하고 확장되는지를 경험하게 합니다. 지미 글리슨은 빛과 표면, 반사의 개념을 회화에 도입하여 독자적인 조형 언어를 구축해온 작가입니다. 금속성 안료와 특수 재료를 활용한 그의 화면은 단순한 시각적 이미지가 아니라, 관람자의 움직임과 빛의 방향에 따라 끊임없이 변화하는 ‘거울 같은 회화’입니다. 이러한 작업은 시각적 경험을 넘어서, 관객의 사유와 정서를 반사시키는 존재로 확장되며, 물리적 표면과 감각적 깊이를 동시에 보여줍니다. 고요한 침묵 속에서 빛을 발산하는 이 회화들은, 마치 시간을 품은 풍경처럼 관객을 멈춰 세우고 응시하게 만듭니다. 이번 전시의 제목 《Illuminated Silence》는, 그러한 그리슨의 작업 세계를 압축적으로 담아냅니다. 빛에 의해 드러나는 고요함, 혹은 고요함 속에서 발현되는 빛 — 이 양가적인 감각은, 회화가 가질 수 있는 가장 순수한 시적 순간을 환기시킵니다. 서울에서 처음 소개되는 이번 개인전은, 지미 글리슨의 대표작과 함께 신작도 포함하여 그의 작업 세계의 진화를 선명하게 보여줍니다. 빛과 침묵, 물질성과 비물질성 사이에서 회화의 새로운 가능성을 탐색하는 이 전시는, Gallery Chang이 지향하는 철학적 미학과도 깊은 연결을 이룹니다.

- Gallery Chang Officially Opens Its Seoul Location with Inaugural Exhibition by Yuri Gorbachev | GALLERY CHANG
Back Gallery Chang Officially Opens Its Seoul Location with Inaugural Exhibition by Yuri Gorbachev Gallery Chang, headquartered in Manhattan, New York, has officially opened its fourth location—Gallery Chang Seoul—at Oakwood Premier COEX Center in Samseong-dong, Seoul. To commemorate the opening, the gallery has launched a special inaugural exhibition featuring world-renowned Russian-born artist Yuri Gorbachev, the gallery announced on the 18th. Gallery Chang currently operates two locations in New York. The new Seoul space was established with the goal of serving as a cultural bridge between the New York and Korean art scenes and will be led by Director Hong Somin. Running through January 17, 2025, the inaugural exhibition at Gallery Chang Seoul is particularly significant in that it presents, for the first time in Korea through a commercial gallery, a selection of museum-exhibited works by Gorbachev, including his iconic Winter in Uglovka (1998). The exhibition marks a meaningful first step in connecting the artistic worlds of Russia and New York with Seoul. The exhibition showcases a total of 29 works, with a focus on seven major pieces from the 1990s—widely regarded as the peak period of the artist’s career and originally exhibited in museum contexts. The show is also conceived as an opportunity to reexamine these works from a contemporary perspective, recognizing their importance across politics, economics, society, culture, and art history. On view as well is one of Gorbachev’s most notable international collaborations: the limited-edition 1994 Stolichnaya Vodka poster Russian Heritage . Featuring a Russian winter landscape, traditional architecture, and the iconic Stolichnaya vodka bottle rendered in vivid colors and intricate detail, the work is valued not merely as an advertisement but as a highly collectible piece that encapsulates the essence of Gorbachev’s artistic vision. Regarded as the creator of the aesthetic philosophy known as “Positivism” and one of the most prominent artists to emigrate from the former Soviet Union to the United States in 1991, Yuri Gorbachev was classically trained at the Soviet Academy of Arts. His works combine Russian tradition with modern aesthetics, offering viewers a distinctive visual experience through bold color palettes and luminous golden details. Notably, the absence of black in his paintings stands out; instead, he employs bright, vibrant colors to infuse his works with energy and positivity—core principles of his Positivist philosophy. Through the use of traditional lacquer and glaze techniques, Gorbachev maximizes texture and light reflection, achieving a harmonious balance between classical craftsmanship and contemporary style. His luminous color sensibility conveys hope and happiness, demonstrating art’s power to forge deep emotional connections with audiences. Gorbachev’s works are held in the permanent collections of more than 30 major museums and institutions worldwide, including the State Russian Museum and the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the National Art Museum of Ukraine, and the United Nations Headquarters. Meanwhile, Gallery Chang Seoul is set to play a key role in bringing New York’s contemporary art ecosystem to Seoul and further connecting the Korean and global art scenes. Director Hong Somin stated, “The opening of Gallery Chang’s Seoul location is expected to contribute to Seoul’s rapidly growing art market while further expanding the international presence of Korean artists already active in New York. We see great potential in the Korean art market and plan not only to introduce works by artists currently active in New York to Korea, but also to serve as an important gateway for Korean artists seeking opportunities in New York.” www.mhns.co.kr 갤러리 장, 서울 공식 오픈 및 개관전 유리 고르바초프 전시 개최 [문화뉴스 이용훈 기자] 뉴욕 맨해튼에 본사를 두고 있는 갤러리 장(Gallery Chang)이 서울 삼성동 오크우드 프리미어 코엑스 센터에 네 번째 지점인 서울 갤러리 장 서울을 공식 오픈하고 이를 기념한 개관전으로 러시아 출신의 세계적 예술가 유리 고르바초프(Yuri Gorbach < >

Shane Guffogg – The Biennale Star Shane Guffogg is an American artist who has dedicated his career to exploring the intricate dance between time, consciousness, and the human experience. His paintings, often large-scale and brimming with luminous colors and complex forms, beckon viewers to contemplate the nature of reality and the fluidity of perception. Guffogg’s journey into the world of art began early in his life. He honed his skills and nurtured his distinct approach to abstraction at the California Institute of the Arts. His works transcend the realm of mere visual representation; they are philosophical inquiries that challenge our conventional understanding of time and its profound connection to our existence. The concept of time, particularly the intricate interplay between past, present, and future, is a central theme that weaves its way through Guffogg’s entire body of work. He perceives these temporal dimensions not as isolated segments but as interwoven threads that contribute to the rich tapestry of “now.” This idea is eloquently expressed in titles such as “What if Everything That was Is, And Everything That Is Never Was,” suggesting that all moments, regardless of their position on the timeline, coexist in an eternal present. Through a masterful command of color and form, Guffogg’s paintings often evoke a sense of timelessness. The subtle transitions and layers within his works create an illusion of depth and movement, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the contemplation of the artwork and the passage of time itself. The canvas becomes a window into a realm where past, present, and future merge and flow, challenging our linear understanding of time. Guffogg’s artistic language finds its roots in abstraction, a realm that allows him to transcend the limitations of representational art and delve into the depths of pure ideas and emotions. He masterfully employs color, form, and texture to create visual metaphors that explore the complexities of human consciousness and the enigmatic nature of the universe. Rather than depicting the external world, his paintings are an expression of the inner world – a realm of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. They are visual poems that resonate with the soul, inviting viewers to connect with their own internal landscapes and explore the profound depths of their being. Each brushstroke, each layer of color, is a word in a visual language that speaks of introspection and the search for meaning. Guffogg’s artistic vision extends beyond the visual realm, encompassing a multi-sensory experience. He has collaborated with musicians and composers to create immersive environments that further enhance the impact of his work. These collaborations aim to engage the viewer on multiple levels, deepening their connection to the art and its underlying themes. Sound and vision intertwine, creating a symphony of perception that resonates on a deeper level. His exhibition, “The Sounds of Color,” held at the Scala Contarini del Bovolo museum in Venice, exemplified this multi-sensory approach. By combining his paintings with a curated soundscape, Guffogg created an environment that enveloped viewers, allowing them to experience his art in a new and profound way. The exhibition became a journey through time and perception, guided by both sight and sound. Shane Guffogg’s art stands as a testament to the boundless power of creativity and its capacity to transcend the confines of time and space. His paintings are not merely objects to be passively observed but invitations to engage in a dialogue with the artist and with oneself. They are catalysts for introspection and self-discovery. Through his unique approach to abstraction and his exploration of profound themes, Guffogg has created a body of work that inspires contemplation, challenges perceptions, and encourages viewers to connect with the deeper meaning of their own existence. His art is a gift, a legacy that will continue to inspire and provoke for generations to come. It is a reminder of the enduring power of human creativity to grapple with life’s most fundamental questions and to find beauty in the exploration. t2conline.com Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Exciting to see Biennale Star Shane Guffogg at Gallery Chang NYC With a commitment to fostering creativity and community engagement, Gallery Chang has carved a unique niche for itself, attracting both seasoned collectors and curious newcomers.
