On-Stellar-Rays

On Stellar Rays opened on the Lower East Side of New York in September 2008. Since its inception, the gallery program incorporates performance, sound, film, and video with painting and photography practices. The gallery has established itself as a place for presenting provocative and unexpected exhibitions by artists in all stages of their career. The tremendous growth of the artists’ careers in recent years has led the gallery to triple its space to 4,500 square feet in April 2016 to accommodate more ambitious projects.

Recent and upcoming artists’ projects include Debo Eilers and Tommy Hartung in the 2017 Whitney Biennial; Rochelle Feinstein's retrospective at Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva (2016), Lenbachhaus (2016) in Munich, Kestnergesellschaft (2016) in Hanover, and Bronx Museum, New York, NY (2018); Tommy Hartung solo at Rose Museum, Waltham, MA (2017) and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2015); JJ PEET solo at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley, CA (2017), Arts Club Chicago, IL (2016), and Contemporary Austin, TX (2015); Debo Eilers with KAYA at MUMOK, Vienna (2016), Museum Brandhorst, Munich (2015-16), and Kunsthaus Bregenz (2015); John Houck at Minneapolis Institute of Arts (2017), Dallas Contemporary, TX (2017), Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY (2015), and LACMA, Los Angeles, CA (2013-2014); Athanasios Argianas at Kunsthalle Vienna (2016) and Fondazione Prada, Venice (2014); and Zipora Fried solo at Marfa Contemporary, Marfa, TX (2015).

The gallery name originates from a 9th Century text by Al-Kindi, entitled “de Radiis”, or “On Rays’. “De Radis” explores early Greek theories of physics and optics, and further posits the effect of astral rays on perception in the material world.
