Management
Otherworldly, metaphysical works blur the boundaries between mysticism and philosophy on the fourth floor of a Chinatown office building.

Walk in With Us
Management is an oasis. A bubble of dreamy calm in a city that can be chaotic. You’ll find it on the fourth floor of a Chinatown office building, sharing its address with the uber hip modeling agency, No Agency. Follow the models to the elevator in the back to get upstairs.
The art here doesn’t just hang on the wall. It haunts, and (more importantly) it heals. Think jewel-tone palettes with metaphysical undertones. We’ve seen silver reptilian creatures slithering around the corners of rainbow-colored paintings, crystal snakes entwining fallen meteor-like clay rocks juxtaposed with irradiated color field paintings.
Shows can have a dystopian edge, but their uncanny beauty will get under your skin if you let it. The curatorial approach is philosophical, with a desire to find structure, dig for meaning, and throw down an anchor. It asks you to have a little faith. Consider us converts.
About the Gallery
Anton Svyatsky founded Management Gallery in 2021. Moscow-born, Brooklyn-raised, his father was part of the renowned Russian art collective AES+F, known for their spectacular, epic video-based spectacles. He studied philosophy at Brooklyn College, launched a design firm, and developed software for the finance industry before returning to art. Nonetheless, his approach to art dealing prioritizes philosophical risk over market logic.
