THE POOL NYC is pleased to announce THE HIDDEN SHOW part two, a group exhibition featuring Eteri Chkadua, Eric Mistretta, Andrea Salvatori, and Bianca Sforni to be held at Design-Apart, the temporary space of the gallery in the city, in Chelsea.
Design-Apart is a new NY reality and it has been elected as the perfect venue for the nomadic show of THE POOL NYC, as their mission is extremely related to the crucial goals of the gallery. Both Design-Apart and THE POOL NYC want to showcase the best and the more hidden of contemporary art and design, focusing on the quality of the objects and art works on display. Both projects are global and local, they travel and they stop in places they consider essential.
Design-Apart delivers bespoke Italian design around the world with a team of artisans who integrate advanced technologies with ancient traditions, producing furniture and objects of uncommon utility and beauty. Design-Apart showroom in NYC is a platform in which the founders live, cook, work, and invite artists, chefs, clients to create and collaborate with them.
The gallery aims at displaying the work of four artists internationally renowned, all related one another for their quality and manufacture, and various media, in conversation in New York with design, in a new context and where all the different media can be highly appreciated.
The show has been named after the selection of the venue and this time we would like our collectors to see the works of art already placed in a living space, actually a gorgeous apartment.
In order to show difference with the typical white cube of gallery spaces, we will show the works of the artists we work with in a domestic environment, furnished and unusual.
American artist Eric Mistretta will be on display at Design-Apart with a new series of Apex works made of nylon, all sold out in Miami.
Andrea Salvatori, one of the Italian artists of the gallery, will be back in New York for the second time with his exquisite glazed ceramic pieces. For this show he will showcase a new series of vases made of glass and ceramic and an elephant with balls.
Eteri Chkadua, a Georgian painter who has been working with the gallery for ever, will present two small works where she portraits herself.
Chkadua is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art of Istanbul.
Bianca Sforni, an Italian artist who works with a 4×5 camera, and lives between New York and Paris, presents a wide range of photographs from the Pandoras Box Series to the Poppies Series, and the famous Broken Teapot and a black and white piece named Hugoton. Through Biancas camera, flowers, plants and natural objects assume appealing shapes and become icons.
It will be open every day from 12 to 6 pm and by appointment.
