History

Founded by art historian Pilar Corrias, a former director of Lisson Gallery and Haunch of Venison, the gallery opened on 16 October 2008 with the exhibition October by Philippe Parreno. [2] The show featured a cast aluminium Christmas tree titled Fraught Times: For Eleven Months of the Year It's an Artwork and in December It’s Christmas (October), which is now held in the collection of the Pompidou Centre. [3] [4] [5] [6] American visual artist Rachel Rose first exhibited her work Lake Valley at Pilar Corrias in 2016, which was later presented at the 2017 Venice Biennale and the Carnegie International, 57th Edition, 2018. [7] [8] A number of the artists discovered by Corrias had their first UK solo show at the gallery, including Ian Cheng, Helen Johnson, Tala Madani, Christina Quarles, Mary Reid Kelley, Tschabalala Self and Gisela McDaniel. [9]

Its first 350 m2 (3,800 sq ft) gallery space in Eastcastle Street, London, designed by Rem Koolhaas, opened in 2008. At the time, Corrias was the first woman to open a new art gallery in the West End of London for a decade. [10] In July 2021, the gallery opened a second 110 m2 (1,200 sq ft) space in Savile Row, London, designed by Oslo architects Hesselbrand, with Chalk Mark, an exhibition by Iranian-American artist Tala Madani. [11] [12] [13] In October 2023 the gallery will open a new 460 m2 (5,000 sq ft) flagship space on Conduit Street in Mayfair, London, with a solo exhibition by Christina Quarles. [14]

Artists

The gallery represents thirty-two emerging and established, international artists, and is noted for its strong female presence, being one of only a handful of contemporary art galleries worldwide that represents more female artists than male artists. [15] According to Corrias, many of the gallery's artists share an interest in revising narratives of art history from a female perspective. [16]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tschabalala Self</span> American artist

Tschabalala Self is an American artist best known for her depictions of Black female figures using paint, fabric, and discarded pieces of her previous works. Though she uses mixed media, all of her works are on canvas and employ a "painting language." Inspired by works done by an African-American artist, Romare Bearden, Self creates collages of various items that she has collected over time and sews them together to depict Black female bodies that "defy the narrow spaces in which they are forced to exist". She derives the concept from the history behind the African-American struggle and oppression in society. Self reclaims the Black female body and portrays them to be free of stereotypes without having to fear being punished. Her goal is to "create alternative narratives around the Black body." Much of Self's work uses elements from Black culture to construct quilt-like portraits. Self lives in New Haven, Connecticut.
