F I V E, a group show of sculptural installation works by artists
Lars Chellberg, Jessica Higgins, Erika Knerr, Rob Lemon and Joshua Selman,
opens Thursday, December 11th at Lance Fung Gallery. This is the first
exhibition at Lance Fung Gallery designed to introduce five important
artists emerging within its community.
Fung remains committed to finding artists working with the essentials of art
in unique ways. The sensibility can be traced back to his days as Director
at Holly Solomon Gallery. Since it's inception Lance Fung Gallery, known
for representing Gordon Matta-Clark, Suzanne Harris, Tristano di Robilant,
John Roloff, Shigeko Kubota and Nicolas Africano, has concentrated on
established artists. For Lance Fung Gallery F I V E represents an exciting
new dimension added to its activities.
The exhibition is composed of mixed media work in multiple forms.
The five works by Lars Chellberg, Jessica Higgins, Erika Knerr, Rob Lemon
and Joshua Selman range from the metaphysical to the anarchic and combine in a
positive and energized result. Lance Fung Gallery is openly sharing its
belief that art is a socially interactive practice similar to architecture,
and that the essentials of running an American gallery involve an
exhibition program which is concretely responsive on many levels.
