Miguel Abreu Gallery has been a long-time favorite of us here at Daily Plinth.  Here he speaks about the inspiration for his gallery in advance of his first participation in Art Basel in Hong Kong, from March 29 – 31, 2018 (private days, March 27 & 28).

From Art Basel:

The Lower East Side pioneer explains how radical cinema shaped his vision

‘I’ve used my filmmaking approach to design the gallery experience.’ –Miguel Abreu, founder of Miguel Abreu Gallery

Miguel Abreu was among the first to open a gallery in the Lower East Side, a Manhattan district which is today teeming with art spaces. Abreu’s vision has been shaped by cinema, and in particular by the work of experimental filmmakers Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet. The gallerist has applied this passion to the gallery, curating his exhibitions as film sequences for over a decade.

In its debut presentation at Art Basel in Hong Kong, Miguel Abreu Gallery will show works by Pamela Rosenkranz, Yuji Agematsu, Jean-Luc Moulène, Liz Deschenes, Sam Lewitt, and Pieter Schoolwerth.
