NA Service’s
@_naservice Artist Highlights are an ongoing series of collaborative events at Young Space.
“After office hours we are constantly brainstorming what’s next to expand the world we love and want to live in” they say, of the inspiration behind the series.
Their last highlight was in collaboration with artist, Jack Davey

“1. CURRENCY
2. SHELF
SOMETHING TO LOOK AT”
Hosted for ‘one night only!’ in January, Jack’s evolving body of work, has included ‘Dirty Room’ (2022) at a residency in Vairano, Switzerland, a solo show titled ‘In Bulge’ (2022 - 2023) at CASSTL gallery in Antwerp, and, ‘Licker’ (2024), at Elliott Hundley Studio in Los Angeles. In 2024 he told
@novembreglobal :
“I’m interested in representing the human body without any literal or obvious figuration, and this paired, tube-like, rounded form has become my interpretation of that. It’s sensual and bodily, but non-specific. There’s a pairing element in this work that emphasizes that as well. The fact that the works always come in twos is important for me because it’s about a dialogue. There’s something kind of sexual about it, but it’s not explicit.”
