Team Gallery new article content ...

Team Gallery is a contemporary art gallery representing emerging and established artists. The gallery opened in 1996 in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, where it was one of the first dozen to do so. The gallery operated as a partnership between Jose Freire and Lisa Ruyter until 2002, when Freire became the sole proprietor. In 2006 the gallery relocated to a 5,000 square foot exhibition space in Soho, where it remains today.

Team presents exhibitions by an international roster of artists whose practices are often concerned with the fringe of contemporary culture. Politics, film, and music are steady subject matter. The gallery exhibits a strong focus on media-based art, installation, painting, and photography. It has helped to facilitate the careers of American artists Cory Arcangel, Slater Bradley, Ryan McGinley, Steven Parrino, David Ratcliff, and Banks Violette.

In addition to working with these core gallery artists, Team also represents several well known European artists, including Santiago Sierra, Gert & Uwe Tobias, Muntean/Rosenblum, Gardar Eide Einarsson, and Pierre Bismuth, as well as emerging artists Brice Dellsperger, Massimo Grimaldi, and Jakob Kolding.

Team artists are represented in galleries around the world including Rodolphe Janssen, Maureen Paley, London, Tomio Koyama, Japan, Jan Mot, Brussels, Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin, Bugada and Carnel, Paris, Agnes B. Galerie du Jour, Paris, Air de Paris, Paris, and Galerie Helga de Alvear, Spain, to name a few.
