I TALK WITH THE SPIRITS

Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to announce the expansion of its flagship Chelsea location to include the adjacent space at 507 West 24^th Street. The new "Boesky East," only five feet away and connected from inside, more than doubles the gallery’s footprint in Chelsea, bringing it to approximately 13,000 square feet. This additional space allows it to mount ever more ambitious solo and group shows as well as concurrent exhibitions that highlight dynamic parallels and narratives across artist, media, and theme. Marianne Boesky Gallery will inaugurate the expansion with an exhibition of works by artists Jay Heikes, Thornton Dial, and Lee Mullican, curated by artist and writer Chris Wiley. The show will open on June 23, 2016 in both 507 and 509 West 24^th Street. 
 
Experimentation with space and architecture in diverse New York City locations, from Chelsea to the Upper East Side to the Lower East Side, has been an essential part of our vision, evolving and growing to meet and complement the changing interests and needs of our artists. This was key in the development of our Upper East Side and Lower East Side locations, and now with this expansion in Chelsea.  Our upcoming exhibition schedule highlights the diversity of what we can now do in Chelsea. It provides a platform for major solo shows by more established artists such as Donald Moffett in September and Pier Paolo Calzolari in February, and also allows us to present multiple exhibitions, including separate solo shows by Dashiell Manley and Matthias Bitzer in the late fall.
 
With the substantial addition of 507 West 24th Street, the new "Boesky East," the gallery will close its Lower East Side location on Clinton Street, providing the gallery’s artists more visibility and opportunity to show at the flagship location.
