The Crystal Chain

Volume Gallery is pleased to announce The Crystal Chain, a 15-year anniversary show, opening Friday, June 13, 2025, from 5-8PM.

Named for a series of utopian letters initiated by Bruno Taut in 1919, in which a small group of like-minded architects and artists, unfettered by the demands of practicability, exchanged ideas on what form the architecture of the future should take, The Crystal Chain features work by Tanya Aguiñiga, Ricki Dwyer, Ross Hansen, Jennefer Hoffmann, Sung Jang, Ania Jaworska, Christy Matson, Jonathan Muecke, Anders Ruhwald, Sam Stewart, and Thaddeus Wolfe.

The exhibition celebrates Volume Gallery’s 15 years of collaboration, showcasing the innovative practices of the celebrated artists we’ve been privileged to work with, fresh perspectives that continue to push the boundaries of material based practices.

About

Volume Gallery

Volume Gallery focuses on American art and design, with a strong emphasis placed on emerging contemporary artists and designers. Volume Gallery releases editions, publications and organizes exhibits that showcase the work of American artists and designers to regional, national and international audiences. We are asking critical questions of what it means to be an American artist/designer in a culture that is rapidly becoming more global, while simultaneously examining the American experience. Outside of an active gallery program, institutional shows and acquisitions are an important component to the roster’s activities. Over the course of the gallery’s history we have placed over 50 pieces in nearly 20 public institutions (LACMA, SFMOMA, AIC, MAD, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Mint Museum and the Renwick to name a few).
