Rosa Park, founder of Francis Gallery, has opened Casa Francis, a new exhibition space in her former family home in Los Angeles. The inaugural show, “Have You Eaten Today?,” features nine Korean and LA-based artists exploring themes of care and sustenance, with artworks displayed alongside home objects like silk floor cushions and ceramics. The space operates by appointment only and enforces a strict no-social-media policy, emphasizing an intimate, offline viewing experience.
Casa Francis represents a personal and unconventional approach to art presentation, blending domestic life with gallery practice. By converting her own home into a curated environment, Park challenges traditional gallery models and prioritizes genuine connection over digital engagement. The project underscores a growing trend of artist-run and domestic spaces that offer alternative, slower ways of experiencing art in an era of rapid online consumption.
