Gallery Index 8 is excited to announce the opening of Be Right Back, an exhibition organized by Chad Abbley and Shrey Purohit in New York City.

Be Right Back features six artists who explore bodily presence and human connection in our ephemeral digital age. This show considers how bodies communicate through their transitory states.

The title, Be Right Back, the common shorthand from text messaging—a phrase that suggests a brief intermission in a conversation or interaction. The show itself is ephemeral, inviting you to engage with the work before it disappears.

Among the works on display are paintings by Alex Maceda, which reflect on everyday rituals and intimacy. 

Jiayue Li’s paintings offer glimpses into contemplative moments that are both personal and universal. 

Jocelyn Tsaih presents work that bridges abstraction and figuration, both introspective and playful. 

Jun Yang’s paintings are informed by self-identity and human connection. 

Momoko Schafer’s small-scale glass sculptures provide a tactile counterpoint in three-dimensions. 

Finally, Rachel Hayden’s graphic works capture cathartic moments with nuance in stillness and form.
