GALERIE 103 seeks to bring together a broad cross-section of national and international artists and will feature significant works of high-quality art, including contemporary and modern art that reflects the island's unique environment past and present. The art at GALERIE 103 will know no boundaries, thereby challenging misconceptions about regionalism and ethnic origin.

With the importance of global environmental issues, Hawaii has become (as it should be) one of the centers of conceptual awareness and critical debate, especially about global environmental issues, but also about many other matters shaping human destiny. ART and ISSUES should and do meet here. GALERIE 103 thus seeks to expand general awareness and to correct any lingering idea that Hawaiian art is "merely" focused on the celebration of natural beauty.

GALERIE 103 occupies a 2400-square-feet space, of which 1800 square feet is devoted to the art gallery per se and 600 square feet constitutes an annex dedicated to modern and contemporary works on paper, art objects, fiber art and art books.

CURRENT EXHIBIT

March  6th - April 25th, 2010     (view images...)
"A-HA" -Curated by Inger Tully, curator of exhibitions at The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, "A-HA" features six artists currently living on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Maui: Eli Baxter, Jaisy Hanlon, Vince Hazen, Ryan Higa, Wendy Kawabata and Christopher Reiner.

Utilizing unusual materials and processes to create their pieces the artists’ choice of media is often specific to their underlying concept or idea. The resulting works in two and three dimensions are, as the title "A-HA" suggests, both surprising and unexpected.
