Congratulations to Gallery Onetwentyeight on their 40th Anniversary Opening celebration November 7. 5:00-7:00-22, 2026. Details Below!

Gallery Onetwentyeight's  anniversary exhibition featuring artists Kazuko Miyamoto runs Nov. 7-22,2026

Welcome to the Neighborhood: Forty Years of Gallery Onetwentyeight  A group exhibition celebrating the gallery's 40th anniversary.  November 7 - 22, 2026  Friday - Sunday, 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM    Welcome to the Neighborhood: Forty Years of Gallery Onetwentyeight brings together more than forty artists who have had long relationships with the gallery and its founder, artist Kazuko Miyamoto. An opening celebration will be held on Saturday, November 7, from 5-7 pm. Miyamoto established the lower east side gallery before the building was modernized. At the time, the space still had beautiful ceramic tile floors and tin ceiling tiles. Miyamoto learned of its availability in 1986 through her old friend Richard Armijo, proprietor of a bookstore next door.    More than simply a static place to exhibit art, Gallery Onetwentyeight was a hub and a touchstone for Kazuko’s broader connectivity with art and artists. She and some artists built Sol LeWitt sculptures there. They walked from Rivington Street to Soho galleries to install or repair LeWitt works. Kazuko packed up gallery artworks, including her own, and took them to Europe for exchange exhibitions. At times Kazuko used the space as her studio. Always, it was a locus for creation, thought, gathering and conversation. Her natural inclination was toward inclusivity. Everyone was welcome and she gave innumerable artists an opportunity to show their work.  After forty years, it is difficult to separate Gallery Onetwentyeight from Kazuko’s life as an artist. It was her lifelong project: a space that has continued to evolve through art, friendship, work, travel, and community.    The exhibition features works by Angela Valeria, April Vollmer, Akemi Takeda, Amir Bay, Ayakoh Furukawa-Leonart, Carol Salmanson, Chris Craig, Chris Passehl, Christopher Knowles, Cristián Pietrapiana, David Higginbotham, Eiji Matsukubo, Eric Ginsburg, Fumio Yamaguchi, Gerald Jackson, Haruko Mochimaru, Howard McCalebb, Hugh Burckhardt, Ilona Pachler, Jacek Maczynski, Janet Passehl, Jefre Harwoods, John Hogan, Joan Criswell, Kaitlin Martin, Katsumi Suzuki, Kazuko Hyakuda, Kikunobu Ozaki, Kotatsu Iwata, Leela Ramotar, Maxwell Stevens, Mieko Mitachi, Nancy Linn, Olivia Beens, Orestes Gonzalez, Orin Buck, Paul Fischnaller, Ptah Miller, Richard Armijo, Sanae M Buck, Sante Scardillo, Sol LeWitt, Sylvia Netzer, Sumayyah Samaha, Taku Arita, Todd Ayoung, Toki Ozaki, Toyo Tsuchiya, Vernita Nemec, Yoshiko Chuma, and Kazuko Miyamoto.

Kazuko Miyamoto was born in Tokyo in 1942 and moved to New York City in 1968. That same year, she moved into her first studio at 117 Hester Street on the Lower East Side, a building also occupied by Adrian Piper and Sol LeWitt. Miyamoto and LeWitt met during a fire-alarm in the neighborhood one night. They soon became collaborators, with Miyamoto fabricating LeWitt's early Open Cube Structures and executing his early Wall Drawings, including those exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in 1971. In 1972, Miyamoto became an early member of New York’s A.I.R. Gallery, the first nonprofit all-women artist collective in the United States. She held five solo exhibitions there and co-curated two group shows. In 1986 she founded Gallery Onetwentyeight at 128 Rivington Street, the longest continuously operating gallery on the Lower East Side. Miyamoto’s art is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Princeton University Art Museum (Princeton), National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto) ,Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington D. C.), Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven), and the Daimler Art Collection (Berlin), among others.

1st Contemporary JOMON Art Exhibition in New York @ Gallery Onetwentyeight | October 13-25, 2026 | Opening Reception: Friday October 16, 2026, 6PM-8PM

 This looks interesting.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   1st Contemporary JOMON Art Exhibition in New York   Exhibition Dates: October 13 - 25, 2026 Location: Gallery Onetwentyeight Address: 128 Rivington Street, New York, NY 10002 Opening Reception: Friday, October 16, 2026, 6pm-8pm   Gallery Hours: Tue-Sat: 1pm-6pm, Sun: 1pm-5pm   NEW YORK, NY — Gallery Onetwentyeight is proud to present the "1st Contemporary JOMON Art Exhibition in New York," running from October 13 through October 25, 2026.   This landmark exhibition brings together a dynamic collaboration of contemporary artists exploring the profound spirit of the Jomon period through paintings, sculptures, installations, and multimedia performances.   We currently live in an uncertain era, constantly questioning where tomorrow’s world is headed. It is precisely during such times that we feel compelled to reflect on the Jomon spirit—a unique culture that flourished across the Japanese archipelago for approximately 14,000 years. The iconic forms of Jomon pottery and Dogu (clay figurines), familiar to anyone with an awareness of Japanese history, are far more than mere historical relics. They convey a timeless, universal wisdom that continues to resonate across generations. At its core, this philosophy embodies a deep reverence for the earth and a spirit of living in seamless harmony with nature. It was under this profound worldview that humanity sustained a remarkable 14,000-year period entirely free of war.   This exhibition aims to express the Jomon spirit through the lens of contemporary art, sharing its universal significance and future possibilities with a global audience. Visitors are invited to experience this extraordinary intersection where ancient wisdom meets modern creativity.    Featured Artists: Akiko Matsuo, Keiko Kubota-Miura, Kenichi INOUE, Harue Tamaki, Kana Handel, Chie Shimamura, Jun’ichiro Ishida, Hisayasu Takashio, Masako Onoda, Nobuko Tsuruta, Mariko Suzuki, Nina Kuo, Sanae M Buck, Tony Sahara, Yoshimi Tanaka, Tulin Battikhi, Thomas Soloweyko, Atsuko Mu Yuma   About the Gallery: Founded in 1986 by Kazuko Miyamoto, Gallery Onetwentyeight is the longest-running art gallery in New York’s Lower East Side, dedicated to showcasing diverse international, emerging, and established artists.
