MorYork is a non-for-profit art studio and exhibition space located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Founded by artist Clare Graham and production designer Bob Breen, the space operates as both a working studio and a site for exhibitions.[1] MorYork has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Los Angeles Magazine, and LA Weekly.[2]
History
The building at 4959 York Boulevard was purchased in 1986 by Clare Graham and Bob Breen. Prior to its acquisition, the structure housed a Safeway Market (1933), Skateland (1959), Raceland (1964), and J. J. Jewelcraft (1969).[3]
Initially used as a private space for collecting and assembling artwork, the site later evolved into a public-facing exhibition space. Installations at MorYork have incorporated repurposed domestic and industrial materials.[4]
In the early 2000s, the gallery began offering exhibition space to artists without commercial representation.[5]
Building and location
MorYork occupies a former commercial building on York Boulevard in Highland Park, Los Angeles. The interior has been described as a large-scale, immersive environment adapted for installation-based work.[6]
Exhibitions and collections
MorYork presents exhibitions and installations that frequently incorporate found objects and recycled materials. Coverage has described the space as a "cabinet of curiosities" and a densely arranged environment of transformed everyday objects.[7]
Many works are created or assembled on site, and the space functions as both exhibition venue and studio. Its programming has been discussed in relation to assemblage practices and material reuse in contemporary art.[8]
Role in the Los Angeles art community
MorYork has been associated with the development of the Northeast Los Angeles arts scene, particularly in Highland Park.[9]
The space has participated in local art walk events and has hosted programming connected to organizations such as the Arroyo Arts Collective and the Bob Baker Marionette Theater.[10]
