For the last week of our virtual exhibition ‘Wish You Were Here,’ engaging art and distance in 2020—we are taking a sneak peek at the artists whose exhibitions will light up Monica King Contemporary in Tribeca this fall season. We hope you will make it by to celebrate these artists and shows with us in the coming months, and we are here to book appointments for you and your friends to check it out (or pop by if you are downtown for a safe visit as you know we are far too chill for appointment only). So in these challenging days for all, whether virtual or real or somewhere in between, over here it’s all for the artists, for the art. We hope to see you soon!
We are all feeling a bit disconnected these days. Perhaps from our friends or extended families, our work lives, or maybe even a bit from ourselves. We at MKC have felt disconnected from the vibrant energy built around art and artists that was so purposefully part of the vision of the gallery. Yet, perhaps this important moment in time is in actuality just an untethering of how we all feel we HAVE to be, to live, to work, to create ... a chance given by the universe to finally let one’s life, work, relationships, priorities, and actions match a life we’d actually create for ourselves from the highest place—if we only could. As the gallery slowly reopens and embraces the future in these coming days and weeks, we wanted to be able to share the energy with you regardless of whether we will get to give you a six foot elbow bump this month ... or next. Welcome to the virtual grotto you will get to see recreated each Monday for the rest of the summer. Where art invites you to untether what you think you understand and become a part of its world. It’s our summer postcard to you, wherever you are in the world.
