Various Small Fires

Various Small Fires is a gallery owned and operated by Esther Kim Varet, established in 2012 with locations in Los Angeles, California, and Seoul, South Korea. The gallery’s program reflects our strong desire to be a much-needed platform for artists exercising their voice on the most important social, political, and environmental issues that threaten humans and the greater life web today. VSF has nearly 5,000 square feet of exhibition space, a sound corridor for audio art, and an outdoor gallery for large-scale sculpture and installation. The gallery uses 100% solar energy to operate its exhibition spaces and goes to great lengths to reduce our carbon footprint and eliminate plastic by-products. In April 2019, VSF opened a second location in Seoul to introduce significant American artists to Asia.
