About John Connelly Presents

John Connelly Presents [JCP] originated in 2001 as a semi-nomadic project space and gallery project founded by John Connelly as a forum for collectors, critics, gallerists and artists to experience new work by promising emerging artists. Originally an extension of John Connelly’s curatorial projects, JCP’s original mission was to present a dialogue between three artists who at the time, had no official New York gallery representation. In January 2003, John Connelly left his position as a director at Andrea Rosen Gallery and launched an expanded full-time program of exhibitions and projects in a small 10th floor exhibition space in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood. The gallery quickly gained a reputation for exhibiting provocative and challenging new art by a diverse group of American and international artists. The gallery’s exhibitions have consistently been reviewed in (among others) The New York Times, The New Yorker, Artforum, Frieze, Art Review, Art in America and Flash Art. In November 2005 the gallery relocated to a 2500 sq. ft, ground floor exhibition space in Chelsea where we continue to encourage our exhibiting artists to change, convert and engage the gallery space so that each visit to the gallery feels completely fresh and new. JCP is also strongly interested in supporting individuals who expand the parameters of what it means to be an artist into arenas that include collaboration, writing, curating and publishing.
