Surging without having endlessly, traffic, people and everyday events,
in the flow of the city It pushes and pulls like a swell.
Bustle and Silence, Destruction and Rebirth, Time and Space, Tension and Relief.
Some are swept away, some struggle and head towards the waves.
Still, this big swell never stops.
"City No End."
City No End is an ongoing series created by Brooklyn based artist Gaku. Gaku’s works are imbued with a subtle sense of the imaginary as he seamlessly integrates surreal aspects into depictions of our reality, creating a juxtaposition that has over time become his characteristic style. This exhibition showcases the artist’s first large scale assemblage and collage works from this series.

P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents B Hotel, an exhibition of single-channel video works by twenty-three emerging artists, selected from an open call by a committee of curators and artist-advisors. B Hotel is located in the "Hive," a honeycomb structure for humans, originally designed for P.S.1's summer exhibition Buzz Club: News From Japan.
Selected artists include: Chris Bors, Peter Coffin, Stuart Croft, Lea Donnan, Gabriel Fowler, Matthias Geiger, Timothy Hutchings, Manabu Inada, Lucretia Knapp, Doug Lussenhop, Eline McGeorge, Patrick Meagher, Jeanine Oleson, Stephan Pascher, The Yee Haw Brothers: Tom Patterson & Akshay Desai, Barbara Pollack, Linda Post, Matt Saunders, Jessie Shefrin, Virginia Valdes, Sarah Vogwill, Virgil Widrich, and Carlo Zanni.
Announced earlier this fall, the open call for B Hotel drew over 500 submissions, from both well-known and emerging artists from more than 15 countries. Their works are screened on 4" x 6" LCD mini-monitors installed at the back of individual cells in the Hive. The Hive offers a pure viewing environment to visitors, who must climb and enter the cells to experience the works in private.
All submissions to B Hotel have been placed in the gallery alongside the work featured in the Hive. As part of its long-standing commitment to showcase emerging art, P.S.1's open call is an attempt to acknowledge and engage the extraordinary community of artists to which P.S.1 has historically been connected. This open call provides a glimpse into an enormous pool of energy and talent whose breadth we are not able to show here, but which we would like to admiringly acknowledge.
Selection committee: P.S.1 Chief Curator Klaus Biesenbach; Associate Curator Larissa Harris; Associate Curator Daniel Marzona; Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video, The Museum of Modern Art; and artist Jonathan Horowitz.
The Hive is designed by P.S.1 Chief Curator Klaus Biesenbach.
Young Guns is a portfolio competition that recognizes and awards creative professionals aged 30 and under, including designers, illustrators, and entrepreneurs.
In 1996, Art Directors Club members Jeffrey Metzner and Bill Oberlander proposed the creation of an award to identify and honor young creative talents. This multi-disciplinary group became known as Young Guns and evaluates candidates based on the strength of their entire portfolios rather than a single piece of work.
The inaugural class of Young Guns was curated by a selection committee of seven esteemed creatives, who hand-picked 140 New York-based professionals aged 35 and younger from a wide pool of nominees. The winners, including Manabu Inada, were celebrated with a five-week exhibition starting December 10, 1996.
