Exhibiting and Representing Contemporary Art and Photography in NYC

By 1984, the gallery outgrew its small midtown space and moved to the vital art community of Tribeca. JHB maintained an exhibition schedule of ten shows a year, exhibiting artists who were at the forefront of contemporary photography internationally. Many were pioneers who pushed the borders of the fabricated image, computer generated photography, conceptually based imagery, installation and video

. The gallery introduced this work not only to the international art community at large, (i.e., collectors, critics, and curators) but assisted in the education of the corporate and architectural/design sector to broaden their considerations. Expanding once again in 1988 to a larger, high profile space in Soho at 588 Broadway, JHB Gallery used this visibility to generate interest and bring serious connoisseurship to the work of contemporary artists using the camera or influenced by media and technology. Exhibitions such as Odalisque and Voyeurism drew strong critical acclaim. The SoHo space closed in 1995 and the business was transformed - more private in nature without a public space, though continuing to curate and organize exhibitions - a private dealer and consultant with a public visibility, continuing to represent artist/photographers, forging new territories, to working closely with private collectors, museums, and corporate entities.

MELTDOWN: Changing Climate at magnificent gallery in White Plains, NY.

October 12, 2025 - January 11, 2026

Curators: Adam Chau & Patricia Miranda

Participating Artists: Rachel Olivia Berg, Ellen Driscoll, Zaria Forman, Lisa Lee Freeman, Bradley Klem, Koyoltzintli , Daniel Miller, Susanna Itty Neuhaus .neuhaus ,Jaanika Peerna, Theda Sandiford, Elaine Spatz-Rabinowitz, Sarah Cameron Sunde and DM Witman
>>>> Jaanika Peerna, ICE MEMORY, pigment and ice on mylar, plastic tube, glass, rubber mat, 2025
>>> every week ice is being placed into a perforated tube above the drawing which melts and by dripping onto the artwork keeps washing it down. We shall see what it will be like in January when the exhibit closes.

Also wanted to congratulate Kathleen Reckling the CEO of ArtsWestchester for being highly recognized as the mover and shaker in arts and culture in New York!!!

Meltdown: A Changing Climate presents artists who explore the beauty, mystery, and impact of human intervention and climate change on water in the Hudson Valley and to the glaciers beyond. Surrounded by water, both the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean are integral to life in Westchester County. Lower New York State has seen significant changes in seasonal weather patterns, shifting into unknown territory. Ice was once one of the largest industries in the area, with over 100 companies developing Ice Houses and employing over 20,000 workers. While seemingly a local issue, the melting of glaciers connects to all water systems, including those in Westchester County. The artists in this exhibition observe, contemplate, grieve, react, and generate a visual response to the monumental importance and the enormity of a changing climate on the world’s water.

Bohnchang Koo has an exquisite presentation on his soap works currently on show in a unique exhibition at Ippo-Plus, a space run by Kaga Moriya in Osaka, Japan. Titled [echo], the exhibition includes prints of the artist’s used soap bar images, alongside a presentation of the boxed original soaps, and artist books printed on semi-transparent materials as overlapping ‘echoes’. The exhibition’s limited run continues October 18-26!




//////////

I have in my hands the soap collection of photographer Koo Bohnchang.

More than fifty used bars of soap — each with its own color, size, and shape — are laid out before me. As I look at them, my heart beats faster. What is this beautiful presence, I wonder.

Some have worn, rounded corners. Some are dry and etched with fine lines. Others have thinned into translucence, or hold traces of bubbles on their surface. A few are cracked apart — each one gradually changing shape, disappearing a little more each time it is used.

For a photographer who has long turned his gaze toward the quiet traces left by time, it may have been inevitable that he would record these half-used soaps.

This summer, Koo Bohnchang visited ippo plus, carrying his entire collection with him.
During his visit, he suddenly suggested — why not exhibit and offer a few of them as art pieces?
After returning to Seoul, he confessed that parting with them made him feel a little lonely, yet in his message he wrote honestly how much he was looking forward to this first attempt.

And so, the creation of soap box began — a series of twelve unique art pieces in which each soap finds its place inside a handcrafted box made by artist Akie Tsuzuki.
It was my honor to select the twelve soaps myself.

IN TEN DAYS Ellen Carey () will explore photography as a visual art form at the forefront of the avant-garde, highlighting its capacity for disruption, experimentation, and transformation.
With a career spanning over four decades, Carey is known for her pioneering work in abstract and experimental photography. 

Her innovative use of the Polaroid 20 X 24 camera, one of five in the world, sees her Neo-Geo “Self-Portrait” series (1983-1988) pointing the way towards abstraction to minimalism to her latest series in Polaroid as Crush & Pull (2018-2024) — dynamic large-scale Polaroids that emphasize color, process, materiality — with the “big” camera and its monumental negative that underscore her commitment to pushing the boundaries of what photography can be — “ light drawing” — anew.

Join us for an illuminating conversation that invites us to reconsider photography not just as a tool of representation, but as a medium of ongoing reinvention and radical visual exploration.

RSVP at the link in bio.

Golnar Adili will be participating in the group exhibition ‘Here & Elsewhere’ opening Friday, October 17 at All Street Gallery in New York’s East Village.

The exhibition is co-curated by All Street Collective members, Eden Chinn and Cora Hume-Fagin and spotlights five women printmakers whose practices engage grief, reproduction, and rebirth.

“Rooted in the history of printmaking as a tool for dissemination and collective storytelling, Here & Elsewhere reconsiders the medium as a site of personal, cultural, and intergenerational reckoning. Printmaking has long been mobilized for mass communication, yet it also carries an equally powerful capacity to hold intimate narratives. The artists imagine grief not only as rupture, but also as a generative process: an opening for remembrance, healing, and the continuation of life across family lines and diasporic histories.”

Exhibition continues through November 30; follow our Linktree for more info.

Gorgeous new publication “Korean Ceramics: The Scholar’s Vision, The Photographer’s Eye” from Hali Publications, London, featuring Bohnchang Koo’s photographic portraits of Joseon-dynasty porcelain pieces in collections around the world. Koo’s radiant images are accompanied by texts throughout by scholar and former director of the Korean National Museum, Yangmo Chung.

The publication represents a timely resource for English language readers as international interest in Bohnchang Koo’s work—and Korean art and culture generally—has been growing exponentially over the past decade.
