Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to present 'Cultural Hegemony' at SCOPE New York 2014, featuring artists whose body of work is rich in social context and investigates ideas of right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, just and unjust, and possible and impossible in a quietly confident manner. 'Engaging and successful works of art must advance a thought, provoke action and question the reality manufactured by the ruling elite who control every aspect of our contemporary culture,' notes Robert P. Stack, Curator, Yellow Peril Gallery. 'Whether this is done by occupying an empty space or activating an already busy one, the power is wielded by each artists' vision and then yielded indirectly by the general public through smart colors, constructions and connections.' Featured artists at 'Cultural Hegemony' include: Kathryn Parker Almanas, Joan Backes, Naomi Campbell, Jamey Morrill, Paul Myoda, Rodrigo Nava, Hao Ni, Raquel Paiewonsky, Anne Morgan Spalter, Quintín Rivera Toro and Diego Rodriguez-Warner. 'Cardboard Trees' by Joan Backes, an installation of two trees made from cardboard boxes from every continent, was selected for SCOPE's curated range of Featured Programming, which highlights the most innovating and challenging works on display, such as monumental sculpture, installation or interactive works. SCOPE New York opens today, March 6, with its Platinum VIP Preview Gala and First View Benefit and Press, will open to the general public March 7 - 9, 2014.

Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to present "Model Minority" at SCOPE Miami Beach 2013, featuring 10 artists whose body of work is not marginalized by society's definitions of success, beauty and power. This is the Providence-based contemporary art gallery's debut as one of 15 galleries selected by a panel of independent curators to join SCOPE's Breeder Program, which introduces the most advanced cutting-edge galleries to the contemporary market for the first time. 'Fostering critical dialogue about contemporary art and its impact on society has been integral to the success of Yellow Peril since day one,' notes Vanphouthon Souvannasane, Director. 'At SCOPE Miami Beach, we aspire to extend the reach of our artists to new audiences, collectors, curators and critics. We are honored to be a part of the most dynamic and riveting week in the global contemporary art calendar.' At its core, "Model Minority" refers to a minority group (whether ethnic, racial or religious) in certain countries whose members are most often perceived to achieve a higher degree of success than the population average. Typically, this success is measured in income, education, and related factors such as low crime rate and high family stability. 'Our mission with 'Model Minority' is to exhibit provocative and visually arresting artwork that challenges our pre-conceived notions about the roles of art and artists in the general global conversation,' says Robert P. Stack, Curator. 'Not only are our featured artists exceptionally talented, they are ahead of the curve with their vision and execution - they have no qualms about questioning the status quo and engaging with audiences in innovative and original ways.' Featured artists at 'Model Minority' include: Kathryn Parker Almanas, Caleb Cain Marcus, Naomi Campbell, Jamey Morrill, Rodrigo Nava, Hao Ni, Raquel Paiewonsky, Anne Morgan Spalter, Quintín Rivera Toro and Diego Rodriguez-Warner.
