PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 26, 2023
BOWERY GOTHIC
10/26-12/22
Presented by Jack Chiles Gallery and Veerle Verbakel Gallery
Jack Chiles Gallery, 208 Bowery, Floor 3, New York, NY
A group show featuring work by: Victor Barrágan, Zachary Besner, Sarah Burns, Louis Durot, Matthew Fisher, LS Gomma, Yuki Gray, Liz Hopkins, Bloomstein Industrial, Clara Jorisch, Edgar Mosa, Mike Serra, Sam Stewart, Sophie Stone, Tino Seubert, Shaina Tabak, Nicole Walker, John Wells, Blue Green Works, Wentrcek Zebulon
Bowery Gothic showcases a diverse group of works that all take a uniquely sculptural and conceptual view of design. The show has been curated to mimic a domestic tableau as arranged by a fictional collector. A collector with a taste for contemporary design and whose preferred interior palette consists of black and metallic tones. The history and architectural eccentricities of the gallery space both lend themselves to this narrative. Once a quintessential 90s downtown loft housed in a Dutch Merchant’s townhouse on the Bowery, the show capitalizes on this historical domestic identity.
Steel chains, inflated tires, poured resin, rope-bound upholstery, phallic hand blown glass and wrought steel weave a textural tapestry that flirts with the themes of BDSM and goth culture. This highly contemporary collection of black and metallic conceptually-led design is in stark contrast to the space itself, which resembles an old fashioned barn with its high pitched roof and exposed brick walls. In some respects this show seeks to propose a design marriage of BDSM and Cottagecore.
By combining this provocative collection of design objects with this architecturally idiosyncratic space to create a theatrical and uncanny living space, the show seeks a departure from the white cube gallery context in which much of contemporary design is exhibited. The show incorporates new site specific installations by Sam Stewart, who has installed an impressive room divider made out of chains and inflated car tire inner tubes, and Sarah Burns, who has designed custom window treatments out of aluminum strips and nylon hand stitched together. Also on display are an inky, poured resin jellyfish stool by design legend Louis Durot and a steel and cement thorned bud vase by fashion luminary Victor Barrágan.
The show will be up by appointment through the end of the year.
