"Unrooted" exhibition at Shatto Gallery is now viewable online.

The "Unrooted" exhibition held at Shatto Gallery in March 2025 is now viewable online. The show featured the work of five Italian artists based in Los Angeles: Bryan Ricci, Carlo Marcucci, Claudio Santini, Jeff Iorillo, and Luigia Martelloni and was co-curated by Yujin Iris Jeong, (Curator and Associate Director of Shatto Gallery), and Cynthia Penna (Curator and Director of ART 1307).

Unrooted challenged the conventional notions of belonging and identity by celebrating those who thrive in the richness of diverse experiences and cultures. In contrast to the negative connotations of being uprooted or displaced, this exhibition explored the idea of being rooted every"Unrooted" exhibitionwhere— and embracing the concept of a global identity that transcends borders.

Through art, the exhibition reflected the journey of these individuals who had discovered strength and purpose not in fixed roots, but in the freedom of exploring new realities. Art, in this sense, has become a tool for expansion, thus offering the possibility to connect with and understand the unfamiliar.

"Contemplating Boundaries" was held at the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles (July 27 to August 18, 2023) and featured the works of 28 artists from across Southern California. Jurors TeaYoun Kim-Kassor and Mika Cho reviewed over 400 images from over 100 artists in a blind jurying process. The selection resulted in 40 works that explore what boundaries can represent in many cultures - often as social constructs serving to regulate peoples’ actions, norms, taboos, and physical spaces. These boundaries may be codified laws, common societal traditions, or even self-imposed rules.
