Situated by the Gowanus Bay waterfront, Yi Gallery is quickly gaining a strong reputation in Brooklyn’s gallery scene. The gallery, which opened its Industry City space in October 2021, initially operated as an itinerant curatorial project in 2018 and ran a collaborative space in Bushwick from 2020 to 2021. In the last year, the gallery has hosted buzzy experimental solo exhibitions from neon artist Annesta Le and abstract painter Elizabeth Gilfilen.

 

In recent years, Yi Gallery has become a torchbearer for experimental, interdisciplinary art forms, especially from younger artists. Yi Gallery made its Miami Art Week debut last year, bringing work from Le and Mexican sculptor Karian Amaya to Untitled Art. At Foundations Winter 2024, the gallery is hosting a solo presentation of abstract painter Margrethe Aanestad.
