This event has ended.

Jen Bekman Gallery presents Ten, a group exhibition of thirty-four artists celebrating the ten year anniversary of Jen Bekman Gallery.

Jen Bekman Gallery opened its doors on March 15, 2003, with the aptly titled Inaugural Exhibition. In the decade since then, the gallery has gone on to host 88 exhibitions. Working with so many stunningly talented people has affirmed our belief and commitment to artists and their practice. We couldn't be more pleased with and proud of all of the hard work and creative effort that have made the gallery what it is today.

Our tenth anniversary group exhibition is a both a celebration and a collaboration: It features work from artists currently represented by the gallery, winners of our international photo competition Hey, Hot Shot!, participants in past group exhibitions, friends, staff, and others who have helped us leave a mark over the past decade. We had just one requirement for the artists: that they interpret the word "ten." Other than suggesting they might explore the idea of ten years passing or the numeral 10, we gave them free rein to go wherever their minds, hands and tools took them.

The final result draws from media as varied as the artists themselves—assemblages, installations, photographs, paintings, and works on paper. The full assortment highlights not only a diverse group of artists, but the arc and evolution of exhibitions at Jen Bekman Gallery. We have chosen to not include statements from the artists, but instead invite viewers to make their own connections with and interpretations of the work, unlocking the manifold visions of "ten" as they help us celebrate our own proud tenth.
