About us….

MELHOP GALLERY º7077 originated as a brick-and-mortar gallery at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA, and has since transitioned into a nomadic curatorial platform under the direction of artist and curator Frances Melhop. This evolution reflects a deliberate reimagining of the role and function of the contemporary art gallery within a rapidly shifting cultural and geopolitical landscape.

Rejecting the fixity of a static location, the gallery adopts a site-responsive model in which exhibitions are conceived and staged in relation to the conceptual and material concerns of the artists’ practices. Melhop’s dual perspective as both practitioner and curator informs an approach grounded in transparency, ethical stewardship, and sustained dialogue between artists, collectors, and audiences. The program privileges contexts that extend and augment the thematic and formal investigations within each artist’s work, creating temporal interventions that are both intellectually rigorous and socially resonant.

The gallery represents twelve predominantly female, emerging to mid-career artists whose practices span diverse media and critical frameworks. Through sustained mentorship and strategic career development, MELHOP GALLERY º7077 fosters long-term artistic growth while facilitating access to international networks of collectors and institutions. The represented artists work across a global geography — from Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and California, to New York, Seoul, Kumamoto, Japan, London, and Moscow — situating the gallery within an expanded, transnational discourse of contemporary art.
