About JARILAGER Gallery

The beginning of the JARILAGER Gallery traces back to 1998 when Jari Lager first opened his artist run space VTO in the East End of London, while also working at the LISSON Gallery, this was followed with the opening of UNION Gallery in 2003 on Union Street at Bankside near the Tate Gallery. In 2012, Jari Lager established CHOI&LAGER Gallery in Cologne together with writer and curator Sunhee Choi, operating from a spacious two-storey building in Cologne’s Südstadt District. In 2016, Jari Lager and Sunhee Choi opened their doors in Gangnam, Seoul and have since moved to their current three-storey space in the heart of Jongno, Korea’s longest-standing arts district. As from 2022 onwards, Jari Lager will be operating from both locations in the name of JARILAGER Gallery alongside its sister gallery UNION Gallery in London.
