Group Exhibition “MADE IN AMERICA”

April 14 (Tue) – May 9 (Sat), 2026
12:00 – 18:00
/ Closed on Mon. Sun. Holiday

Sho+1 is pleased to present the group exhibition “MADE IN AMERICA” on view from April 14 (Tue) to May 9 (Sat), 2026.

At a time when global structures and value systems are being reconfigured, the notion of what is “American-made” is also being reconsidered.
“MADE IN AMERICA” emerges quietly from this context, returning to a fundamental question: what does it mean for something to be truly American-made? Through works produced in the United States today, the exhibition reexamines this idea from multiple perspectives.

The exhibition focuses on works by American artists, spanning diverse genres and a wide range of expressive forms. While each artist’s practice is rooted in personal experience and individual concerns, they do not necessarily take “America” as their primary subject.
Rather, through processes of introspection and cultural inquiry, different notions of “America” naturally come into view within their work. These do not converge into a single image, but instead reveal an America that appears differently depending on the viewer—an America that resists a unified definition.

Sho+1 has long engaged with American art, particularly through its sustained focus on Pop Art. This ongoing engagement has cultivated a perspective that reconsiders the cultural idea of “America” from an external vantage point.
From this distance, multiple versions of America come into view. Extending this perspective, the exhibition provides a space in which “America” emerges through the individual practices of contemporary artists.

Here, “MADE IN AMERICA” is not simply a marker of origin, but a point of departure for reconsidering what America is today.
We warmly invite you to experience the exhibition.

Exhibiting Artists

Karin Campbell
Born in San Diego, California in 1962
B.F.A., Road Island School of design and M.F.A., Tyler School of Art, Temple University

Karin Campbell is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York, whose work explores how emotions and thoughts manifest through the body. The somewhat peculiar figures she depicts are both comical and tragic at the same time, while also possessing an erotic dimension. Vivid colors are layered over and beneath murky strata, evoking the fluctuations of inner emotions—shame, anger, love, desire, and the feelings we attempt to suppress. She has exhibited at MoMA PS1, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Queens Museum

Cynthia Daignault
Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1978, B.A., Stanford University

Her process of painting relies less on exact visual realism, than on ideas and feelings. She works with light and time and strives towards a sense of the universal. She feels that painted objects are like “concrete word poetry and she has been called “a poet of a painter” by the New Yorker. Often her works exist in the divide between abstraction and figuration. Her paintings have attracted attention at numerous solo shows, including exhibitions at White Columns, FLAG Art Foundation and Rowhouse Project; as well as numerous group shows, including exhibitions at Metropolitan Museum of art, MASS MoCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, the Fort Worth Modern, and the Brooklyn Museum. Daignault’s work is in numerous public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Blanton Museum of Art.

David Krueger
Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1962

David Krueger approaches everything in life with boundless enthusiasm and imagination. Heavily inspired by pop culture and storytelling, Krueger’s work is saturated with symbols, vibrant colors, graphic shapes, and detailed patterns. His geometric style is characterized by horizontal bands drawn across the canvas which break up the frame into narrative sections, reminiscent of comic book layouts. Between these lines, he incorporates elaborate decorative elements that include stars, zigzags, squares, crosses, X’s, and radiating lines.

Rebecca (Becky) Kubica
Born in Illinois in 1988

Kubica’s artwork is a reckoning with personal life and fantasy. A natural storyteller, she creates artistic narratives of herself alongside friends, family and fictional characters from the silver screen. Postures and expressions are carefully constructed and emphasized to support her narratives. Kubica has a methodical sketching practice in which she works out all of the details in advance of her final piece to construct her ideal composition. Fields of tightly fitted angled shapes fit together to form a quilt-like background of highly saturated pigments. “I do this well. It’s my favorite and my feeling.”
Kubica’s artwork has been exhibited at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art as well as agency promotional materials and 2020 calendar of Arts of Life.

Matt McCormick
Born in San Francisco, California in 1987

Matt McCormick’s work operates at the intersection of cultural memory and material presence, distilling the residue of the American West into a highly personal yet broadly resonant visual language. Engaging with painting, drawing, and mixed media, McCormick’s practice navigates the tension between historic mythologies and contemporary detritus, where cowboys, highways, and Hollywood dreams dissolve into the textures of lived experience. His work resists nostalgia and locates poetry in fragmentation, exploring the American mythos not as a linear history but as a field of contradictions—unfinished, unsettled, and always in motion.
McCormick lives and works in Los Angeles and New York. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Miami, London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Aspen, and San Francisco.

Rob Pruitt is an artist based in New York and has shown internationally since the early 1990’s.

Jonathan Seliger
Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1955, B.A., State University of New York at Binghamton

Jonathan Seliger demonstrates a deep respect for everyday objects, carefully and faithfully embodying the core values and techniques of Pop Art. His meticulous craftsmanship evokes the finish fetish movement (*) that emerged on the West Coast of the United States in the 1960s, while also reflecting a postmodern interest in simulacra. After graduation from college Seliger started his artistic career with an art critique and a freelance curator. In the late 80’s he supported a particular artist at a gallery in New York. Then he started to reconstruct everyday objects to turn into a conceptual artist. His productions are intelligible and iconic, reflected by the essence of pop art in celebrity brand shopping bags, Chinese takeout containers, light bulbs, and milk cartoons.

(*) The finish fetish movement—often referred to in Japanese as “shiage-fetish” —is characterized by an obsessive attention to extremely smooth and glossy surfaces. Artists associated with this movement used industrial materials such as acrylic, synthetic resin, and fiberglass to create works with sleek, polished finishes that blur the line between fine art and manufactured objects.

Ariée
Born in North Shore, Illinois in 1995

With a singular vision and zeal for fashion, Ariée’s artwork is rife with haute couture references interspersed with youthful, pop culture iconography. Her compositions construct narratives around this unexpected juxtaposition of high and low-brow cultural fixtures. Ariée works with complete focus and confidence. She skillfully balances compositions, exercising restraint to preserve and craft thoughtful negative space that accentuates her designs. An undeniable playfulness manifests in vivid colors and functionally counterbalances the seductiveness of her imagery.
