Temporary Space
Closes Sat 12/7, 12-4p
My intention is to utilize the space, to bring about a co-production between it and my intentions, to respect its particularities. -Fred Sandback, 1992
“Temporary Space” begins with this intention, a co-production of art works and the space of the gallery. Similarly, the assembly of artists and the non-traditional hanging of their work will be another sort of co-production, leveraging art’s power to rhyme, resonate or shift in relation to its context. A conversation with participant Sally Goldstein helped establish the connective tissue of this show, including these concepts:
Question the picture plane Using traditional media in untraditional ways Unsettling on purpose, possibly unstable Art in the round, art to be encountered
“Temporary Space” offers an array of perspectives and representation of space, covering the spectrum of abstraction to representation. Versatility of material, like space, will be showcased with works of textile, wood, ceramic, metal, cardboard, canvas, and plastic, among others. Geographic space will be represented by artists from the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. “Temporary Space” invites viewers to experience the shrinking and expanding, filling and delineating of space in the gallery and beyond.
