Structural Integrity
C24 GalleryStructural Integrity is the inaugural solo show by Ryan Sarah Murphy at C24 Gallery. In Residence: Superchief Gallery NFT is also on view in the Atrium. Structural Integrity includes new works from all aspects of Murphy’s multidisciplinary practice. Her reclaimed cardboard relief sculptures, powered by the visceral impact of color combinations, act as visual meditations on geographical location, placemaking, architecture and spatial awareness. Her videos, generated through multiple digital interventions on random images and movements, are enigmatic, animated paintings that look like pixels, binary code or even deconstructed maps, a visual reference to her fixed cardboard works. Her drawings, which begin as tracings of stills from her videos, complete the multi-dimensional deconstruction of her creative cycle. In Residence: Superchief Gallery NFT is a collaborative exhibition co-curated by Superchief Director and Co-Founder, Edward Zipco and C24 Gallery Director and Curator, David C. Terry, consisting of a rotating series of NFTs as well as a regular schedule of programming and events. The exhibition marks the launch of NFT Chelsea, a new institution that centers the cutting edge of the NFT art market in the middle of the Chelsea gallery district. In the first two weeks, the exhibition will feature selections from Superchief Gallery NFT’s inaugural year, including works by acclaimed artists, Jake Fried, Swoon, Drifter Shoots, Lucien Samaha, and Yoshi Sodeoko. In coming weeks, look forward to newly minted works from many of Superchief’s partner artists, including C24 artist Coby Kennedy, the premier collection by fellow C24 artist, İrfan Önürmen, as well as new works by Ryan Sarah Murphy, whose entrance into the NFT world will round out the exhibition at the end of September, with a culminating collaboration between the two galleries.
