Muggsy

WOAW Gallery is pleased to present Muggsy, a solo exhibition by New York artist Giles Pates. This vibrant and heartfelt collection of works celebrates the unifying power of local basketball courts around the world, inviting viewers to reconnect with the communal spirit that often defines these shared spaces. The exhibition will be on view from 9 January to 8 February 2025 , which also celebrates his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong.


Muggsy is a celebration of the communal power found in local basketball courts around the world. The title draws inspiration from Muggsy Bogues, one of the smallest players to ever grace the NBA, known not only for his heart, tenacity, and unshakable spirit - qualities that resonate deeply with the energy of a local court.


At the core of this exhibition is the idea that basketball courts serve as timeless spaces of connection, transcending language, background, and age. Regardless of one's history or origin, a local basketball court is a place where strangers can become friends and individuals can find a lasting sense of community.
