Galerie Youn

Galerie Youn is an art gallery featuring up-and-coming Canadian and international artists in Montreal, Quebec, Canada,[1] most of whom were discovered on Instagram.[2] Originally established online as the Flying Rooster Contemporary Project (FRCP) in 2012, the gallery opened in 2013 as a brick and mortar location in Montreal's Mile End. Now located at 384 St. Paul Street West in the Old-Port's historical district (summer 2021), the gallery represents emerging and mid-career contemporary artists, typically half from Canada and half from the U.S., Europe and Asia. In 2021, the gallery received the "Best in the City" award from Time Out.[3] Their book catalogues are part of the permanent collection of the Thomas J. Watson Library.[4] The director and founder, Juno Youn, is a native of South Korea and a graduate of OCAD.[5]

History

The gallery was founded by South Korean-Canadian gallerist Juno Youn in May 2013 in Montreal.[6] Youn was previously the co-founder of Spin Gallery, which ran from 1999 to 2007 in Toronto, Canada.[7]

Focusing on a roster of twenty-four artists, Galerie Youn features Canadian and international young and mid-career artists from the United States, Europe and Asia.[8]

The gallery's mission is to spot up-and-coming talents and bring them to a larger audience. The gallery has featured exhibitions of works by Hugo Alonso, whose art photograph was featured on the cover of The New York Times Magazine in October 2017.[9]

The gallery also shows Canadian artist-illustrator Jay Dart,[10] VOGUE Mexico photographer Damian Siqueiros,[11][12] Vancouver artist Paul Morstad,[13] and Peter Chan.[14]

The gallery has participated in various art fairs, including Art on Paper in New York City,[15] Art Toronto,[16] Seattle Art Fair,[17] Pulse Miami,[18] FotoFever,[19] and Drawing Now in Paris.[20] In the Blouin ArtINFO market report for Art Basel Miami Beach 2018, it was mentioned that Galerie Youn “sold out very quickly, getting much attention throughout.”[21]

In 2018, Youn was noted as one of Canada's Best Dressed in The Globe and Mail newspaper.[22]
