Live event this Saturday 2/26 at 5pm in our gallery at 88 Eldridge St - join David Howe, William Powhida, B.G. Muhn & Heng-Gil Han for a discussion of the influence of North Korean collective painting on Howe’s current exhibition #SupportAndDefend
Fascinated by Kim Jong-Un’s use of the #NorthKorean press to control his image, #DavidHowe reimagines the dictator as a cheerful/menacing Santa Claus figure immortalized as an ornament in the eerie installation “Merry Christmas! Love, Kim Jong-Un” (2021).
Inspired by North Korean #propaganda, #DavidHowe produces collaborative paintings in the style of those created for Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong-Un. Take a look at how “Under the Beloved Leader, Let Us Break Head-on the Barriers to our Advance” (2021) compares to its Korean model.
“Concrete Cathedral (Prototype #1)” (2022) was inspired by a story #DavidHowe heard from artist and Albanian PM #EdiRama about the transformation of religious architecture into secular sites of collective activity during #communist rule in the People’s Republic of Albania.
Shaoul+Howe has commissioned artist Guy Richards Smit @studioGRS to produce a documentary short feature on artist and gallery co-owner David Howe and his inaugural exhibition “Support and Defend”.
ALT Andrew Freibant, Robert O'Hare, and Guy Richards Smit discussing the documentary shooting schedule.
#DavidHowe based the setting for “The Beloved Leader Shares the Struggle of the Heroic Engineers” (2021) on a real #Facebook campus cafe. The details of the scene are modeled on reality... except #MarkZuckerberg probably doesn't serve the coffee.
We're open this weekend: Thursday-Sunday from 1-6 at 88 Eldridge Street in Manhattan! Stop by to view #SupportandDefend with artworks by #DavidHowe.
#LuigiGhirri photographs are up now in our #private viewing room! #artcollecting #secondarymarket #contemporaryart
Shaoul+Howe is pleased to present “Support and Defend” an exhibition of works by gallery partner & founder #DavidHowe curated by @powhida on view now until March 6
