Storage’s inaugural exhibition series, Press Release, that began in September 2022 continues with the opening of Press Release (Cycle V), featuring the work of Columbia MFA Students - Candela Bado, Garrett Ball, Kevin Cobb, Conor Dowdle, Nick Farhi, Amadeo Morelos Favela, Aristotle Forrester, Valeria Guillén, Ian Ha, Jing Harren, Char Jeré, Roxana Kadyrova, Calvin Kim, Kristian Kragelund, Sangmin Lee, Meaghan Elyse Lueck, Anna Ting Möller, Kai Oh, Paul Rho, Robbie Rogers, Benjamin Salesse, Albert Samreth, Sof'ya Shpurova, Motohiro Takeda, Vivian Vivas, Ming Wang, Shuai Yang, and Julian Zehnder.
Curated by Storage founder, director and Columbia University professor, Onyedika Chuke, Press Release (Cycle V) presents a collaboration with current students and recent graduates of the Columbia MFA Fine Arts program. In a rotating cycle of paintings, sculptures, performances and installations, we examine the works of these emerging artists and their explorations of time and space through their media. As a whole, the show Press Release investigates the ephemeral notions of “pressure” and “release” - the pieces by these selected Columbia MFA students are examples of how a new vanguard of artists choose to enhance and alter the way one moves through a gallery.
After taking the elevator/gallery from the street of 52 Walker, visitors enter our 4th floor gallery space through a portal of wallpaper designed and installed by Garrett Ball, whose intricately repeating black and white vistas immediately envelop us in discourse on space, power, and class. This wallpaper is installed further in the gallery, where other paintings and sculptures echo its themes in ways ranging from intimate to grandiose.
