SUMMER EXHIBITION

Unspoken

July 22 – August 18, 2026

We are pleased to present Unspoken, a summer group exhibition featuring Adam Bazlik, Sunjoo Chung, and Zukie. On view from July 22 through August 18, 2026, the exhibition brings together sculpture and painting to explore how form, material, color, and surface shape our perception, memory, and everyday experience.

Although each artist works from a distinct cultural and artistic perspective, their practices share a sensitivity to the quiet forces that influence how we connect with objects, spaces, and one another. Rather than offering direct narratives, the exhibition invites viewers to experience works that unfold through physical presence, texture, and visual resonance.

Adam’s sculptures investigate the relationship between material and space. Through carefully balanced forms and refined structures, his works embody tension, movement, and equilibrium, transforming sculpture into an active presence that continually responds to its surrounding environment.

Sunjoo Chung reinterprets the traditional Korean craft of mother-of-pearl through a contemporary visual language. Her celebrated Candy and M&M’s series combines the luminous beauty of handcrafted materials with familiar symbols of popular culture, creating works that blur the boundaries between tradition and consumer culture. Beneath their vibrant surfaces lie reflections on value, desire, memory, and cultural identity.

Zukie creates intimate pictorial worlds through her distinctive characters. Balancing playfulness with emotional depth, her paintings capture moments of tenderness, vulnerability, and human connection. Their simplicity encourages viewers to project their own memories and emotions onto the work, allowing deeply personal interpretations to emerge.

Together, the three artists demonstrate how sculpture and painting can engage with contemporary life through remarkably different approaches. Structure and softness, tradition and popular imagery, abstraction and figuration coexist within a shared space, revealing unexpected relationships between material, emotion, and perception.

Unspoken offers an opportunity to encounter three distinct artistic practices brought together through a shared commitment to material exploration and visual expression. The exhibition invites viewers to slow down, observe closely, and discover the subtle narratives embedded within each work.

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.
