As the Art season winds down with the Summer, PURE LUCK brings a motto to carry with you during your travels. GRITTY, PRETTY, READY, STEADY is a collection of recent works by Beau Rhee. This special exhibition will be on view for a short period of time at PURE LUCK in our new location at 2 Great Jones Street.
Ms. Rhee’s motto consistently runs through her artworks. Her performance pieces are powerfully beautiful, art historically informed and technically equipped masterpieces. Her concept of the New Baroque, which is a development of the idea of “the fold” (Deleuze), purity and the infinite/excess, runs mysteriously through her most recent performance works. Ms. Rhee conveys gestures through repetition and accumulation, thus creating a static art object that modulates through time.
While ideas of rhythm, beauty and mystery hide in gritty textures on paper and behind curtains, there runs a deeper meaning to all this. Cultural staticity has amassed into a charge, building and building. Eventually the charge archs or pops and releases all of its potential energy. Beau Rhee’s works are just that. A positive charge that eliminates the excess and fires your neurons into a new mindset.
BEAU RHEE
The artist believes that true beauty has the power for criticality and to stimulate transformation. This is achieved in part through the emotional state pure beauty evokes when experienced. A theatrical inspiration injection into the stream of consciousness, this piece is certainly in part a reaction to the perceived catastrophes of our society. Feeding the machine with more of the same is no longer acceptable.
Beau Rhee lives and works in New York City. Drawing from her passion for performance, dance and visual art she creates a unique oeuvre that explores human movement, gesture, the intangible and the surreal. She received her B.A. Dance & B.A. Art History from Columbia University (cum laude). In 2008 she had the honor of training with the Bill T Jones Dance Company by invitation.
Her previous formal training includes: New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, and A-Soon Dance Company in Seoul Korea. She has shown artwork and performed at The New Museum, X-Initiative, Exit Art, P.S.1/MoMA. Most recently Beau had been interviewed by Art International Radio (AIR), a new internet radio station & cultural archive directed by the founder of P.S.1. There she has been invited to rehearse and create new works.
LIBRARY
The library serves as a collective of knowledge, seeds and inspiration for now and well into the future.
Knowledge is continually information in flux through our usage of the Internet and digital dissemination. The PURE LUCK library is a firm commitment to the valuable media of the book. How do books play a unique role in telling and showing the history of art, architecture, design and the performing arts? This library is a specially curated collection that provides intellectual minds with research resources that are visually stimulating, rich with historical content, and that elicit examples throughout history where creative minds help to change the fabric of society.
All members may request books for purchase. - Project leader, Beau Rhee

Blood/Sweat/Tears is a startlingly unique scent, which was created & produced in Grasse, France. The fragrance is a rich textural mixture of notes that emerges deep from our daily lives in our subconscious, such as notes like tea, tabacco, and sandalwood, and surprising brighter hints of spice and jasmine. Lying mysteriously in-between the feminine & masculine, the fragrance harnesses both energies, resulting in an exquisite & captivating formula.
