international art gallery sets up space in south park
This blog has moved to Twitter! Check out my twitter feed for the latest restaurant, retail, and cultural news in the neighborhood.
Downtown’s reputation as a growing center for the arts take a huge leap forward this week with the arrival of PYO Gallery, a Seoul-based venue known internationally for exhibiting cutting-edge post industrial fine art.
In addition to curating works from notable names in East Asia, the gallery hosts touring exhibits from major museums and galleries worldwide. Jonathan Borofsky, whose public sculptures can be found in cities around the globe (including the Molecule Man here in Downtown and the famous Ballerina Clown in Venice), is currently showing at the gallery’s Beijing location.
South Park’s new branch of PYO Gallery — coming to the ground floor of Luma at 11th and Hope — will premiere Saturday, July 12 with an exhibit by Kim Tschang Yeul titled “Recurrence,” scheduled to run through August 16. Kim is a renowned Korean painter living in Paris whose decades of works fill the walls of art institutions from Chicago to Tokyo.

Great News!! Is going in one of the live/work loft spaces? Hygge is taking all the retail space - correct?
Nick:
PYO Gallery will take the southern-most retail space, unit 105 on the ground level, next to Hygge on Hope Street
so just south of the entrance?
Awesome! I believe that takes care of all the Luma retail on Hope. Now if they would only do something about the remaining industrial on that block - on Hope and 12th. I had heard rumers that it may be converted to a neighborhood (dog?) park with additional underground parking for the existing 3 buildings and the owners of elleven/luma/evo picking up the maintenance cost as part of their HOA dues. Have you heard anything like that? Also - do you know who owns the Morrison Hotel property? Thank you and keep up the great work on angelenic! I look forward to reading it everyday.
