The Art Students League of New York proudly presents its 2024 Juried Selection Exhibition at Gallery Onetwentyeight, an alternative art space owned and operated by artist and League alumna Kazuko Miyamoto.
This exhibition features juror-selected works from the nearly 100 Student Salons or student showcases that were held at the League between January and May 2024. Displaying a myriad of techniques and styles across mediums, the 86 works are a testament to the caliber of League artists past and present. It is organized by the League’s Gallery Director and Curator Ksenia Nouril, PhD and Curatorial Assistant Esther V. Moerdler.
“The Juried Selection Exhibition has a long and storied history here at the League,” reflects Moerdler. “We are very excited to be sharing it with a new audience on the Lower East Side. It is an incredible opportunity for League students to expand their reach and develop their practice, which will hopefully lead to many new opportunities as they continue their careers as artists.”
The League’s Student Salons is an annual series of exhibitions featuring recent student work across all disciplines taught at the League. The Student Salons are open to any student who chooses to display their work. Juried by invited guests—prominent artists, curators, or scholars within the artworld—the Juried Selection Exhibition presents artwork chosen from the open Student Salons and represents the independent jurors’ favorite student artworks. Here, the best of the best come together in one exhibition, providing a picture of the League today.
Nouril comments, “It is the highest honor to host this exhibition of ‘red dots’—best in show artworks—at Gallery Onetwentyeight. It acknowledges the special connection between the League and the gallery’s owner Kazuko Miyamoto, a League alumna. It is wonderful to think of these current students continuing in her footsteps.”
The exhibition is held in two parts: the first part with 44 works is on view from August 8 to 25, and the second part with 42 works is on view August 29 to September 15.
About Gallery Onetwentyeight:
Responding to the need for artist-run spaces in New York during the mid-1980s, the Japanese-born artist and League alumna Kazuko Miyamoto founded Gallery Onetwentyeight at 128 Rivington Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side neighborhood in 1986 to showcase a mix of local and international artists. When she moved in, her friend had a bookstore next door; her other friend lived in the backroom of the gallery and ran its day-to-day operations; and her rent was around $200 a month. Now the neighborhood is well-known for its galleries and nightlife; yet Gallery Onetwentyeight remains at the center of it all, hosting exhibitions throughout the year whilst occasionally serving as Miyamoto’s studio and archive.
Between 1964 and 1968, Kazuko Miyamoto took over a dozen classes at the League in subjects from sculpture and textile design to life drawing with some of our most well-regarded instructors, including Charles Alston and Theodoros Stamos. Dedicated to exhibiting cutting-edge art by local and international artists since 1986, Miyamoto’s gallery is a mainstay in Manhattan’s Lower East Side neighborhood.
