About the Gallery
Founded in 2012 by Jasmin Tsou, JTT is a contemporary art gallery located on the Lower East Side devoted to the presentation of adventurous work in all media, with a focus on emerging and under-recognized artists. Recent exhibitions include Urs Fischer's interactive replica of Maillol's "La Riviere," made of soft clay that visitors were invited to rework over the course of the show; Borna Sammak's vibrant and chaotic installation of televisions, extension cords, deli signage paintings, and awnings; and Charles Harlan's minimal display of a single corrugated steel pipe, which occupied the entirety of the gallery's interior. Over the past five years, JTT has hosted the first New York solo exhibitions for nine artists, including Jamian Juliano-Villani and Borna Sammak and, in the fall of 2013, the gallery presented a solo show of work by Diane Simpson, the artist's first in New York since 1980. In 2016, JTT moved to a larger space on Chrystie Street, inaugurating its new location with an exhibition devoted to Simpson's iconic "Samurai" sculpture series of 1981-83.

In a refreshing reprieve from the every-man-for-himself attitude found at other art fairs, Independent offers a collaborative environment “more akin to a massive gallery”.

“For the dealer, it’s about connecting with people, and not sending a .jpg over email. This is about my artists,” said Jasmin Tsou of JTT, who is collaborating with another gallery on a four-artist presentation that will include Jonathan Berger’s elaborately designed, small-scale sculptural objects—like his metallic plant made of tin, a manifestation of a century tree, which supposedly only blooms once every 100 years.
"Young Lady" at JTT, curated by Marie Catalno, was a timely presentation of works made by the artist between 1983 and 1987: intricate, wall-based assemblages she calls "object collages," and small paintings that have been accumulating in Lucas's apartment in New York's Little Italy for decades.
