Salon Gallery in London states its mission as follows: “…to discover, mentor and promote the country’s most talented recent art graduates (from art schools such as Royal Academy of Arts, Goldsmiths, Glasgow School of Art and The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art) and give them the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional gallery environment.” This year’s show, the second ever, is currently in New York on view at White Box in Chelsea.

Entering the gallery visitors can take a look at the space from a bird's-eye view.

Taking the entry ramp down to the main space, viewers encounter the show's first works.

One of the many large-scale works.

But there is also a number of smaller works.

General view of the gallery with its characteristic columns and space to sit down, which seems to encourage visitors to stay longer.

More photography.

NYAB overheard, but has not confirmed, that White Box is planning to move to the Lower East Side soon. One can only hope that the space will be as equally inviting.

Aneta Glinkowska

Aneta Glinkowska. Aneta, aka perke, was born and raised in the part of Poland where bagels and bialys allegedly come from. She did not taste either until she first arrived in NYC in her late teens. She fancies herself a photographer, moving image-maker, swimmer, writer and reader. She is hoping to be immortalized as perke in a Ryu Murakami novel, and then perhaps make a movie loosely based on it. In addition to helping run NYAB, Aneta shoots video interviews for TAB and NYAB. She is also on the lookout for gigs with NYC-based filmmakers. » See other writings
