Director's Note

This exhibition is the fist collaborative venture between our UK based artist/curators and us here in LA. We have worked together before but not as joint curators. It is the first of many I hope.

The value of international exposure for both the artist and the viewer is tremendous. But few stop and think of the long and arduous trek which these types of exhibition entail. The year this project took to organize is a tale of hope and frustration, long conversations and a deep determination which kept the goal in sight.

Logistical problems, shipping, fundraising, catalogue design and all the rest of the agony was worth the effort to reach the ecstasy of finally reaching fruition. I am proud to have worked with the team who made this happen-- Eric Beltz, Brian Boyer, Ed Giardina, Ed Hodgkinson, and Peter Lamb. From these trials emerge true friendships. Thanks guys!
