"Project Native Informant, the east London gallery whose wide-ranging and adventurous programme has included the post-internet art collective DIS, the Turner Prize nominee Sin Wai Kin, the musician Juliana Huxtable and the photographer and art critic Hal Fischer, will close after 12 years. "The decision to wind down did not come lightly," its founder Stephan Tanbin Sastrawidjaja wrote in an Instagram post today (31 October) announcing the closure."
"The American painter began working with Project Native Informant after graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2019. His solo shows of cinematically composed and psychologically charged paintings at the gallery helped position him as one of London's most coveted emerging artists. Yaeger's auction record was set at Phillip's in London last October, at £203,200 for the 2021 painting Sphinx without a secret."
Project Native Informant will close after 12 years. The founder cited a volatile and unsustainable global economic, political and social environment and personal factors as reasons for winding down. The gallery hosted a wide-ranging programme including DIS, Sin Wai Kin, Juliana Huxtable and Hal Fischer. The gallery had not staged an exhibition across its Bethnal Green spaces since July, when it closed shows by Sean Steadman and Anna Jung Seo. Joseph Yaeger departed the gallery roster in the previous year and subsequently signed to Modern Art and Gladstone, achieving a notable auction record.
