Eli Klein Gallery is pleased to present “Best by 07/21/2026,” a residency-then-exhibition featuring artists Clare Hu @clare_hu (b. 1996, lives and works in New York), Tianyi Sun @tianyisun_ (b. 1996, lives and works in New York), and Shaan Ken Rao @shaankenrao (b. 1995, lives and works in New York).
_
Residency: July 21 – September 16, 2026
Exhibition: September 17 – October 17, 2026
Opening Reception with the artists: Thursday, September 17, 2026 | 6-8 PM
_
Working across sculpture, weaving, painting, and photography, the three artists will create new bodies of work using Eli Klein Gallery as their studio. The gallery will be open to the public during normal business hours throughout the duration of the residency. This is an invitation to observe the evolving process of making before the works culminate in a three-artist exhibition opening on September 17.
_
Borrowing its title from the language of product packaging, “Best by 07/21/2026” considers the systems that determine value, relevance, and obsolescence. Opening on its own expiration date, the project frames the residency as a space where artistic production resists the pressure to become legible, marketable, or complete.

A4 is pleased to announce the selection of Clare Hu (@clare_hu) as our 2026 Van Lier Fellow for Visual Arts Practice and Jolene Fernandez (@jolenefernandezstudio) as A4’s 2026 Van Lier Fellow for Visual Arts Curation.⁠
⁠
Each fellow will receive an unrestricted cash stipend of $10,000 and eight months of professional development training and career support to foster the next milestone of their careers.⁠
⁠
The Van Lier Fellowship is made possible by the Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund through the @thenytrust, established to continue the Van Lier’s legacy of arts appreciation by supporting arts groups and training programs.⁠
⁠
Hu (b. 1996, Norcross GA) is a weaver and artist piecing together maps, trying to find something that’s missing. Hu is currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Hu has recently exhibited at Tempest Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Stove Works (Chattanooga, TN), Tiger Strikes Asteroid (Greenville, SC), Artists Space (New York, NY), and the Gibbes Museum of Art (Charleston, SC). Hu completed her BFA with a focus in Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and will receive her MFA from Hunter College in May.⁠
⁠
Fernandez is a Filipino American artist, educator, and curator. She received a BA in Art from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a minor in Visual and Performing Arts Education (VAPAE). Working across Los Angeles and New York City, she has taught art in inner-city public schools with UCLA VAPAE and LA Promise Fund, in museum contexts with The Drawing Center and The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and with Teen Art Salon—the same studio she frequented after school as a student at LaGuardia. In 2023, Jolene exhibited alongside Teen Art Salon alumni in MoMA PS1’s Homeroom, where she now works as Homeroom Fellow. Applying her experience as an artist and educator through a curatorial lens, her collaborations at PS1 have included “LA ESCUELA___: Education as Resistance” (2025-2026) and “Red Canary Song: Touch the Heart” as part of Greater New York 2026.⁠
