History

Team was founded by José Freire and artist Lisa Ruyter in 1996. The gallery moved from Chelsea to SoHo in 2006 and opened a second space in the same neighborhood in 2011. In November 2014, Team opened an outpost in Venice, Los Angeles, California, in a domestic space, christened Team Bungalow.^[2]

Team places an especial emphasis on artists focused on counterculture and radical politics – such as Gardar Eide Einarsson, Santiago Sierra, Banks Violette and Egan Frantz – as well as artists working in new media such as Cory Arcangel, Parker Ito, and Tabor Robak.^{[3] [4]}

Freire has been the gallery's chief executive officer and director since 2001.^[5]
