Bills and Wills

AHL Foundation is pleased to present Bills and Wills, on view from June 13 through July 11, 2026, at AHL Foundation Gallery. Curated by Jungmin Cho, recipient of the 2025 AHL–Chun Family Foundation Curatorial Open Call Grant, the exhibition brings together five New York-based independent art spaces and collectives: Accent Sisters, Benny’s Video, gmtc—golden monkey trading company 金猿商社, Shisanwu at Sheerly Touch-Ya Warehouse, and Subtitled.

Bills and Wills examines the various forms of labor, resources, and commitments that make exhibitions possible. Beyond visible expenses such as artist fees, installation labor, rent, and shipping costs, the exhibition considers forms of work that often go uncompensated or unnoticed, including administrative labor, favors, collaboration, and community care.

Drawing on the experiences of independent art spaces across New York City, the exhibition explores the invisible infrastructures that sustain artistic and curatorial practices. It further considers how these networks of labor and exchange contribute to broader understandings of diasporic identity and community building.

“AHL Foundation is delighted to present an exhibition that highlights the work and experiences of independent art spaces and collectives in New York,” said Sook-Nyu Lee, President of AHL Foundation. “We hope Bills and Wills will foster meaningful conversations about the many forms of labor, collaboration, and commitment that sustain the arts and strengthen our communities.”

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 6–8pm at AHL Foundation Gallery.

Admission is free. For more information, please contact info@ahlfoundation.org.
