Press Release

Sean Kelly is delighted to present Selected, a special group exhibition, curated collectively by the entire gallery staff. An opening reception will take place on Thursday, June 22, from 6-9pm.

For Selected, each member of staff was invited to delve into the Sean Kelly archives and choose two works that touched, surprised, inspired, intrigued, or perhaps even unsettled them from the history of the gallery’s exhibitions or the gallery’s collection. Their fascinating choices range from pieces they had previously worked with during a past exhibition, to things they knew were in the collection but had never seen installed, to works they had no idea were even part of the gallery’s history, but discovered through this process. A personal statement addressing what it is about the work that they find meaningful will accompany each piece. The resulting exhibition—like the people who work at the gallery—is eclectic and surprising. And whilst their choices reflect their individual tastes, the forty-plus works presented come together to form a cumulative portrait of the gallery; mirroring both the extraordinary and diverse program that Sean Kelly is known for and the multitude of backgrounds and voices of the people that work here.

Selected includes a diverse array of work in various media––sculpture, painting, photography, video and performance––from the following artists: Marina Abramović, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Los Carpinteros, James Casebere, Julian Charrière, Jose Dávila, Edgar Degas, Marcel Duchamp, Awol Erizku, Iran do Espírito Santo, Douglas Gordon, Antony Gormley, Laurent Grasso, David Hammons, Rebecca Horn, Tehching Hsieh, Marine Hugonnier, Callum Innes, James Joyce, Idris Khan, Yves Klein, Joseph Kosuth, Peter Liversidge, Edouard Manet, Anthony McCall, Mariko Mori, Yasumasa Morimura, Sam Moyer, Zanele Muholi, Shirin Neshat, Rocio Olivares, Simon Patterson, Julião Sarmento, Shahzia Sikander, Alec Soth, Frank Thiel, James White, and Sun Xun.

Gallery hours through June 30th are Tuesday through Friday from 11am until 6pm and Saturday 10am until 6pm. We will be closed Saturday, July 1st through Tuesday, July 4th, in observance of the Independence Day holiday, after which the gallery’s summer hours will be Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm.

During these formative years, it established a reputation for diverse, intellectually driven, unconventional exhibitions. The original list of artists represented included Marina Abramović, James Casebere, Callum Innes, Joseph Kosuth and Julião Sarmento – exemplifying the Gallery’s commitment to presenting important, challenging contemporary art.
