New York, NY – Phillips de Pury & Company is proud to debut Associates, a non-profit gallery initiative featuring works by cutting-edge contemporary artists. Associates, a non-profit gallery in London’s East End, was a critically acclaimed endeavor begun by artist Ryan Gander and co-directed by Rebecca May Marston. Run from September 2006 -- October 2007, Associates was a one-year project of twelve monthly solo exhibitions by artists who largely had not previously had a solo show in London.
 
Ryan Gander has gained a reputation for a body of work in a range of mediums. Shortlisted for the Beck’s

Futures Award in 2005 and featured in theTateTriennial in 2006, he has exhibited widely in Europe and The United States. Ikon, Birmingham will host a solo show by Gander this spring which then moves to South London Gallery. Further exhibitions in 2008 include a solo show at the Kunsthalle in St. Gallen, Switzerland and the Bonner Kunsteverein in Germany.
 
The gallery was designed as non-profit and for solo exhibitions in order to commit to the individual development of the artists, offering them 100% of their sales profits. Associates in New York, curated by Paola Clerico, will be a group show of twelve solo shows of new work by the artists and marks the first time all the artists have exhibited together.
 
The following artists will be shown:
 
Ben Cain, Stella Capes, Alice Channer, Lucy Clout, Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth, Sean Edwards, Josephine Flynn,Tom Gidley, Matthew Harrison,Adrià Julià, Matthew Smith,AdamThomas. Associates in New York will run concurrently with the viewing and sale of Phillips de Pury & Company’s Under the Influence auction which showcases work by emerging artists and compliments the New York  Armory Show.
 
Associates in NewYork will offer audiences a unique opportunity to collect works by emerging artists.
 
Associates was included in London’s Zoo Art Fair during Frieze Art Fair week 2007 and it has been a great critical success.  On exhibition 25 March - 19 April, 2008.
