This exhibition features eight young galleries, all under five-years-old and hailing variously from New York City, Los Angeles, México City, Atlanta, and Montréal. Curated by Alex Tieghi-Walker, gallerist, curator, and founder of design platform TIWA Select, the assemblage of galleries was selected for their directive in straddling the space between art, design and craft.The exhibition will include works presented by Los Angeles-based NOON Projects, one of the youngest galleries in the group, who place queerness and social practice at the heart of their program, and will showcase artists Ben Borden and Matt Momchilov alongside ceramics from Maddy Inez Leeser and Will Moss. Marta will bring works by North American design-world luminaries including Minjae Kim and Wentrcek–Zebulon, alongside land-scapes of the American East Coast by the Hamptons-based Swedish artist Virva Hinnemo. Meanwhile, TIWA Select, based in New York City, will demonstrate storytelling through textiles made across the USA, from intricate Navajo and Diné weavings to Applachian quilts and works by the Gee’s Bend quilting collective. The North American Pavilion will also illustrate the ongoing growth of North American galleries that specialise in and show collectible design, with additional participation from Bruises Gallery, Emma Scully Gallery, Jacqueline Sullivan Gallery, OF THE CLOTH, and Studio IMA.
