A Gallery Run by Interns Who are Paid Nothing by a Billionaire
Pros
Experience being exploited, so at least you recognize it the next time.
Cons
Hong Gyu Shin, who owns the gallery, comes from a very wealthy Korean family. From what I can tell he wants to make a reputation for himself in New York as a successful gallerist. However, he has expressed clearly sexist and classist views in my presence, treats his employees like servants (he used to have his "gallery director" pick up his dry cleaning), and his artists like employees, and only hires interns who he pays nothing. While his business is mostly in the secondary market, he wants to discover and promote new and emerging artists. But, most artists who he has tried to woo to his gallery recognize that the terms of the contracts primarily benefit him. He exploits his workers and his artists and is absolutely not trustworthy. The work that he shows is all about him and his success. Stay away.
