Back Stage

​

The exhibition Back Stage is a tribute to the artists who served as The New Gallery at Teddy’s “stagehands.” The people who have been the gallery’s “suppliers” for the past few years, while also maintaining an active artistic career. The graphic designer, copyeditor, art handlers, translators, and photographers, all of whom provided wonderful services in the production of the various exhibitions that were held in the gallery.

​

This exhibition has no central theme. The artists, who work in photography, painting, design, video, and installation, have selected their artworks for the exhibition, whether they were created recently or represent a significant body of work in their practice. The exhibition offers a glimpse into their creative processes, which take place alongside their “day jobs” that often involve working with other artists and artworks other than their own.

​

Back Stage is my farewell exhibition, concluding a period of over eight years in which I served as the director of the New Gallery Artists’ Studios at Teddy, surrounded by people who accompanied me with talent and patience in steering this great ship through diverse curatorial adventures.

Over the course of this long period, I have been helped by many good people, including those who are not featured in this exhibition, and I wish to express my gratitude to all of them.
