“The selection of work curated by Jonathan [LeVine] represents an array of artists that were chosen based on their long-standing history of collaboration with us,” said Gallery Manager Danielle Link.

These artists also embody the type of work that will be presented at the gallery moving forward, Link added.  

The roots of the Jonathan Levine Projects go as far back as 1995, when LeVine’s life-long participation in punk and underground music grew into an experiment with visual culture. In 2005, he opened Jonathan LeVine Gallery in the Chelsea district of New York City and had success helping the careers of many artists.

In early 2017, the gallery relocated to Jersey City with a focus on community and partnership. Jonathan LeVine Projects is located at Mana Contemporary, 888 Newark Ave., a large arts organization that offers gallery space to a number of artists.
