NEW EXHIBITION
////
May 1 – 26, 2026
We are pleased to present “////”, a group exhibition featuring four Korean artists, on view from May 1 through May 26, 2026. The exhibition brings together key artists from the gallery’s first half of the year program.
Four lines are set in place. Not intersecting, yet never entirely separate.
Rather than converging into a single narrative, the exhibition unfolds through sustained divergence. Each artist maintains a distinct formal and temporal logic, existing in parallel without resolving into a coherent whole. What emerges is not unity, but a field of unstable relations—where proximity does not guarantee alignment, and distance does not preclude connection.
Jeoung Keun Chan (b. 1965) develops monochromatic abstract paintings through repetitive gestures and the accumulation of material. Subtle variations within restrained color fields register the density of time, while the surface holds a quiet yet persistent rhythm and tension. In 2026, the artist participated in Asia Week New York, situating his work within an international context.
Song E Yoon (b. 1983) moves fluidly between painting and installation, focusing on the sensory properties of material and the invisible dimensions that underlie it. Her practice traces the emergence and dissolution of form, attending to the flows of energy that accumulate in between. The question of how the invisible might become perceptible remains an ongoing undercurrent in her work. In 2026, she was invited to participate in a collateral event of the 61st La Biennale di Venezia, marking a significant expansion of her international presence.
Sunjoo Jung (b. 1969) engages materiality, memory, and the aesthetics of the everyday through the use of mother-of-pearl. The reflective and iridescent qualities of the material produce subtle shifts in perception, transforming familiar surfaces into perceptual fields that change with light and viewpoint. Her work reconfigures the sensory and temporal layers embedded in ordinary objects. In 2025, she participated in SCOPE Miami Beach.
Beom Jun (b. 1985) constructs layered compositions in oil painting, where waves and mountainous forms overlap to create a dynamic sense of movement. Through repeated brushwork, the surface becomes a site where multiple temporalities and rhythms intersect. Landscape, in his work, is not a fixed image but a fluctuating field of energy and perception. In 2026, he participated in EXPO Chicago.
Across the exhibition, intervals function not as absence but as active sites of tension. Each work presses against the others, generating a shifting topology of relations that remains open, contingent, and unresolved. “////” does not propose a conclusion. It offers, instead, a set of coordinates—four trajectories held in parallel, and the perceptual space that unfolds between them.

RECENT ASIA WEEK NEW YORK EXHIBITION
Genealogies of Time: Korean Modern and Contemporary Art
March 6 – 31, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday, March 20, 5-9pm
On Asia Week New York 2026, we are pleased to present Genealogies of Time: Korean Modern and Contemporary Art, an exhibition that examines the present condition of South Korean contemporary art through the coexistence of multiple temporal layers. Rather than following a chronological narrative, the exhibition brings together works from different generations to reveal how artistic questions persist, shift, and reemerge over time.
The exhibition foregrounds the practices of Jeoung Keun Chan (b. 1965, South Korea), Hyeongsoo Kim (b. 1961, South Korea), and Hak Il Kim (b. 1965, South Korea). Working across distinct formal and conceptual approaches, these artists articulate current positions within South Korean contemporary art, engaging with enduring concerns related to form, materiality, perception, and structure. Their works reflect how inherited artistic sensibilities are tested and reconfigured under present-day conditions.
Alongside these contemporary practices, works by Kim Guiline (1936–2021, South Korea) are presented to expand the exhibition’s temporal scope. Shown in proximity to contemporary works, his paintings allow different moments in South Korean art history to be viewed together, emphasizing continuity and transformation rather than linear progression.
Genealogies of Time presents South Korean modern and contemporary art as an evolving field shaped by accumulated experience, reinterpretation, and ongoing inquiry. Through the juxtaposition of works across generations, the exhibition offers a focused view of how contemporary practice appears from layered historical conditions while remaining firmly grounded in the present.

About the Gallery
Space 776 Gallery was founded in 2015 with the aim of supporting a diverse group of artists, both local and international, spanning multiple generations and working across various media. Since its inception, the gallery has become a significant platform for showcasing emerging artistic talents and fostering connections with institutions.
The gallery first opened its doors on Central Avenue in Bushwick in 2015. In 2020, we relocated to our present address at 37-39 Clinton Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Furthering our commitment to global engagement, we expanded our presence in 2024 with the opening of a new location in Seoul.
Our vision is to continually foster an environment where the narratives of established and emerging artists converge, inspiring new creative dialogues. Our history reflects this commitment. During our time in Bushwick, our long-standing open studio initiative provided crucial support to local artists, many of whom have since achieved greater recognition. Space 776 has successfully introduced and placed the work of our notable new artists in prestigious collections, including the JP Morgan ART collection and the Ukrainian National Art Museum, as well as with significant private collectors. Our support extends beyond the gallery space, as demonstrated by our involvement with the documentary film, Liz N Val. In 2019, we also participated in collaborative exhibitions, such as “Plan B” at David Zwirner. Additionally, we regularly present curated exhibitions at the gallery and have participated in over 60 international art fairs.
Looking ahead to 2025, Space 776 Gallery will continue its mission to support artists throughout their careers, introduce innovative perspectives, and further expand its international network.
