L.U.P.O. Lorenzelli Projects marks a new milestone with a double exhibition coinciding with Milano Art Week, while also celebrating the inauguration of its new exhibition space in Milan’s Isola district. The opening of the new exhibition space in Isola marks a significant expansion for L.U.P.O., enabling the creation of more intricate and immersive exhibitions and installations, further establishing the gallery as a platform for experimentation in contemporary art scene.
The exhibition brings together Fabien Adèle, Gus Monday, and Julian Lombardi, three artists who explore the boundaries of perception and spatial experience. Their works inhabit a fluid territory where memory, imagination, and cultural constructs intertwine, creating ever-shifting visual landscapes. Each artist, in his own way, destabilises the boundaries between subject and environment, reality and abstraction, allowing open-ended and elusive narratives to emerge.

Ames Yavuz is pleased to return to Art Basel Hong Kong with an exceptional group of over 20 artists across the Galleries and the Encounters sectors. This presentation marks our twelfth year of participation in the fair and our fourth Encounters project, continuing our dedication to the contemporary art landscape of the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
Making their Art Basel Hong Kong debuts with the gallery are Nadia Waheed (Pakistan/USA), known for her powerful explorations of cultural identity, spirituality and womanhood; Elmer Borlongan (Philippines), whose distinctive figurative works capture urban life with profound empathy, and Thania Petersen (South Africa), whose multidisciplinary practice investigates contemporary and historic creole identity across the Indian Ocean. We are also proud to present the iconic series a dozen useless actions for grieving blondes from the estate of Rosemary Laing (Australia), whose practice has significantly shaped contemporary photography. Additional debuts include newly commissioned works by rising talents Channatip Chanvipava (Thailand), Gus Monday (United Kingdom), and one of Australia’s most iconic First-Nations artists, Kaylene Whiskey; each of whom brings a unique perspective to the ever-shifting terrain of global contemporary art.

Space is a dominant organising principle that structures the way we experience the world around us. It plays out in the architectures that contextualise and inform embodied experience while also serving as a framework through which we arrange our inner lives. Our relationship to space is intimate, particular, and shaped as much by our psychology as our physicality.
Through closed eyes, darkly brings together three London-based artists who cultivate distinct treatments of space within their practices: Gus Monday, Julian Lombardi and Shane Keisuke Berkery. Referencing the Biblical idiom ‘through a glass, darkly’ and Phillip K. Dick’s 1977 novel A Scanner Darkly, the title of the exhibition describes how our perception of reality is imperfect and inevitably shaped by our own subjectivities. In paintings and works on paper, Monday, Lombardi and Berkery dissolve representational boundaries between internal and external experience, fusing autobiography and collective consciousness, sensation and observation, memory and encounter to explore how the complexities of human experience might be given form through artmaking.

Ames Yavuz is pleased to present a gesture, a room, a memory, a group exhibition featuring Shane Keisuke Berkery, Mark Maurangi Carrol, Chen Ching-Yuan, Gus Monday, Alvin Ong and Tom Polo.
A gesture, a room, a memory is a conversation between contemporary painters as they contemplate the domestic, the everyday, and the small epiphanies of the moments in-between. Scenes which at first seem at perfectly mundane are re-examined to reveal diaristic moments of desire, reflections on identity and self, and the intrusive thoughts that enter the daily interiors we inhabit. The subtle pleasures and vagaries of the day-to-day are brought to the fore with tenderness, reverence, and a sense of inevitability, crafting a tapestry of experiences which are at once deeply personal and universal.

This Fall, SEOJUNG ART presents ⟪The Observers⟫, a duo exhibition featuring Moohyun Jo and Gus Monday from November 23 to December 29 in Busan. Moohyun Jo explores the underlying structures and meanings that exist beyond visible surfaces, revealing an enduring curiosity about the unseen aspect of the world. Gus Monday, known for a narrative storyteller, draws from personal experiences to create spatial narratives that interweave social symbols and codes. French philosopher Michel Foucault once suggested in 『Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison』 that ‘the observer is not one who seeks to control the subject but one who investigates the possibilities of its existence.’ This exhibition features 14 works, including 12 new pieces in painting, drawing, and sculpture, both artists explore how the act of observing can reconstruct reality and expand the interpretive potential of observation.

Chilli Art Projects are pleased to present Footprints, a group show exploring our physical & emotional relationship with our environments. Reflecting on memories attached to specific locations, either through their own experience or through stories passed down through generations, the artists in the show explore the notion of community, reflecting on the spaces or environments that tell their unique stories. Together the works reflect on this multifaceted exchange between environment and occupier - the traces we leave, and the memories we take.
