Swivel Gallery is pleased to present, “Myriad”, a group exhibition celebrating the opening of our gallery’s new space in 555 Greenwich Street, New York City.   The inaugural show will gather works by some of the artists of our gallery program proving the vast range of practices, mediums, and themes that the gallery embraces. From the Greek myrias, meaning "ten thousand”, the title transcends the simple notion of a large number,  to describe a more complex and harmonious amalgamation of artistic voices.

October 26th - November 9th, 2024

555 Greenwich Street, New York

The exhibition presents a constellation of artworks addressing some of the most pressing questions that our time imposes on us, from our ever changing relation with objects and materiality in an increasingly technologically hypermediated world, to our inter relational exchanges and the exploration of a deeper self in moments of self reckoning and psychological interrogation.  In doing so, “Myriad" ultimately captures the rich and multifaceted nature of creativity, resulting in an intricate tapestry of artistic outputs, range of perspectives, styles, and experiences, each offering a distinct way of seeing and interpreting the world.

The exhibition will be the occasion to unveil our new gallery space designed by the renowned architectural firm Husband Wife. This opening marks a momentous step forward in the gallery's trajectory and our commitment to creating a platform for a global conversation on topics relevant to our generation, a confrontation between artists from different cultural backgrounds and using various expressive mediums.

As a prelude to what you can expect from our program this year, “Myriad” invites visitors to discover a polyphony of voices who are pushing boundaries and exploring new ways art can both be a commentary and a testimony of our times.  Embracing a myriad of artistic expressions, the show allows viewers to engage with different viewpoints and experiences to encourage a more nuanced but richer understanding of our world.

In this way, this chorus of art expressions becomes a testament to the boundless creativity and complexity of human expression in this present context, to think from the past, to present and future.
