Jay Gard Germany, b. 1984

KORNFELD Galerie Berlin and the Korean gallery SEOJUNG ART present the group exhibition Ecocycle from January 24 to February 22, 2025, at KORNFELD and its project space, 68projects. Featuring seven artists from Germany, China, and Korea, the exhibition explores universal themes of ecology, humanity, and cultural interconnectedness. Ecocycle unites contrasting elements—light and darkness, city and nature, water and earth, rationality and irrationality—through harmonious artistic expressions. The selected artists, spanning generations and cultural influences, combine traditional and modern techniques to reexamine our shared world.

This collaboration reflects the commitment of KORNFELD and SEOJUNG ART to fostering intercultural dialogue and creating a cyclical exchange of artistic perspectives. The exhibition serves as a platform for Korean and international artists to transcend boundaries and engage in meaningful discourse. The featured artists are Jungwon Phee (1993), Gee Song (1980), Chounhwan Lee (1956), Yeonhwa Hur (1988), Nanan Kang (1979), Jay Gard (1984), and Rao Fu (*1978). The exhibition’s title, Ecocycle, is a blend of "eco" (ecology) and "cycle," referring not only to bionomics and environmental science but also basic human needs.

KORNFELD Galerie Berlin is delighted to unveil Jan Tichy and Jay Gard first joint venture, "Ornament als Versprechen”. Jan Tichy's delicate small-format cyanotypes meet Jay Gard's sculptures and with paintings, creating a visual tapestry reminiscent of a shared artistic journey. The two celebrate the enchanting allure of ornament, transforming their individual expressions into a poetic symphony of form and texture.

Five artists, five nations, three artistic mediums, and one goal: The Body Language exhibition reveals the different ways we relate to our bodies. It is about strength, alienation, suffering and identity. Physicality becomes (again) perceptible as a human quality in a time in which digital experience and artificial intelligence are becoming more prevalent. Ultimately, Body Language refers to the perception of one's materiality both as a physically tangible aspect and as the sensations associated with our corporeality.

KORNFELD Galerie is pleased to announce our first exhibition with artist Jay Gard (*1984, in Halle, Germany) titled The Beginning of Shaping in our special event venue 69salon.
This exhibition will show a variety of works going from paintings to sculptures, objects and a mixture of them. All these works correlate to Jays distinctive venues of creating objects that become pieces of art on their own, capturing his distinctive style that dabbles between functionality in design with his adventurous artistic aesthetic that is reminiscent of the 1970s.
