Space//Squared @ White Walls SF 10th May 2014, by svenman on Apr 29, 2014 23:17:16 GMT 1, Thought i'd share some details of a group exhibition i'm curating this May at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco...
If anyone remembers the Space//Form exhibition from 2012, this is kind of a follow up - Space//Form 2: Electric Boogaloo.
SPACE//SQUARED
A group exhibition curated by Sven Davis
White Walls is proud to present Space//Squared, a group exhibition centered around notions of the architectural landscape.
The exhibition is a synthesis of differing media and artistic backgrounds, with over 100 artists each contributing a piece of artwork in 10x10 inch format with their interpretation of space & form within either the constructed or the natural environment.
Join us for the opening reception Saturday, May 10, from 7-11 P.M. The exhibit will be open to the public for viewing through June 7, 2014.
Space//Squared explores the constructed and natural environment whilst also serving as a comparative survey in how different individuals respond to a single set of prescribed criteria. Each of the participating artists were given the same commission guidelines by curator Sven Davis, leading to a series of unique interpretations of the brief. The disciplines of art and architecture traditionally enjoy a symbiotic relationship, and the parallels run deep between the conception and realization of an architectural project and the Space//Squared exhibition itself.
Accompanying the exhibition, artists Adam Friedman and Robert Minervini will create a site-specific installation inside the gallery space featuring a series of paintings interwoven with mural elements thematically exploring similar territories.

About Adam Friedman//
Adam Friedman is originally from Lake Tahoe (born 1983), and grew up in North County San Diego. His passion for nature and the great outdoors has manifested itself both within his artwork and personal interests. Adam received his MFA from SFAI in 2008, and has exhibited his work across the country. His paintings have been published in Beautiful Decay Magazine, This is Fly, UNDR RPBLC, BLOUIN ARTINFO, the SF Examiner, amongst many others.
His work has been shown across the US, in art fairs such as Scope New York and exhibitions with One Grand Gallery, Eleanor Harwood Gallery, The Hearth, Nisus Gallery, Flatcolor Gallery, OnSix Gallery, Intersection for the Arts and Root Division; where he was awarded a residency in 2008. He was also the recipient of the David McCosh Memorial Scholarship at the University of Oregon.
He lives and works in Portland, OR and is currently represented by the Eleanor Harwood Gallery in San Francisco, CA.
About Robert Minervini//
Robert Minervini (born 1981, Secaucus, New Jersey, USA) is an artist who examines spatial environments and notions of utopia in large-scale, multi-layered acrylic works. Through dystopian cityscapes, landscapes, and floral still life arrangements, his work addresses the ecological impact of humanity on the landscape.
He received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and his BFA from Tyler School of Art.
His work has been exhibited throughout the US, including exhibitions with Marine Contemporary, ElectricWorks, Eleanor Harwood Gallery, Johansson Projects, Littman Gallery, Waterhouse and Dodd, Schneider Museum of Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, The Bedford Gallery, The Brooklyn Historical Society, and the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery.
He is a recipient of the Murphy and Cadogan Fellowship by the San Francisco Foundation, the Edwin Austin Abbey Mural Fellowship by the National Academy of Fine Arts, and the Carmela Corso Scholarship by Tyler School of Art. He has been a resident artist at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Headlands Center of the Arts, the Vermont Studio Center.
His art has been published in New American Paintings (No. 91 and No. 109), Beautiful Decay, and Mural Art: Large Scale Art from Walls around the World. Minerviniโs work has been reviewed in the LA Times, Modern Painters, San Francisco Chronicle, Art ltd., and featured in ArtWeek LA, 7x7 Magazine, and The Huffington Post. His work The Fruitful Lands of Multitudes of Worlds (Behind the Surface of a Mirror) was acquired by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 2012. He currently lives and works in San Francisco.
About The Curator//
Sven Davis is an art collector and arts commentator in his role with the internationally staffed online arts magazine Arrested Motion. He lives in York, in the North of the UK, where he manages an architectural practice.
In September 2012 he curated an architecturally themed group exhibition entitled Space//Form at Breeze Block Gallery in Portland, Oregon with over 100 participant artists and site specific installations from Michael Murphy & Mark Dean Veca. This exhibition led to an ongoing relationship with the gallery and throughout 2013 and the beginning of 2014 he curated Breeze Block Galleryโs artist program. This endeavor began in May 2013 with Wider than a Postcard - another large group show featuring 200 international artists all making commonly sized work dealing with place & belonging.
This is his first curatorial project with White Walls.

Space//Squared @ White Walls SF 10th May 2014, by svenman on May 2, 2014 21:17:19 GMT 1, cheers Alan Craig and kendo !
Thought i'd share this little back story from Liam Snootle, who made a great piece for the show...
liamsnootle.tumblr.com/post/82464159163/i-was-recently-invited-by-sven-davis-to-contribute
I was recently invited by Sven Davis to contribute a piece to the โSpace//Squaredโ, group exhibition taking place from May 10th at White Walls Gallery, San Francisco.
The opportunity to show my work alongside my heroes, Jerry Inscoe, Carl Cashman, Christopher Derek Bruno, Poesia and St Monci, amongst others, is so exciting.
The exhibition is thematically centered around the constructed or natural environment. Iโve chosen to celebrate my time at various ACE Hotels across the US. Iโve been fortunate to have been a guest at four of them, Palm Springs, Portland, Seattle and twice in New York. ACE are great at making tourists feel like locals, I guess thatโs the most important thing for me when I travel.
I first plotted the locations, alongside my home town of Melbourne, Australia, and developed a shape that I felt was balanced and flowing. I chose a red colour palette. My paintings tend to be either red or blue, red ones represent warmth and comfort whilst my blue ones tend to be inspired by tension and anxiety.
All artwork for the exhibition needs to be exactly 10 inches square. I always like to frame my work in matching frames so had to stretch canvas for the first time so it would fit appropriately.
The canvas was primed and gessoed, followed by three acrylic layers of black. The shape was achieved through 6 aerosol layers.
Iโve titled the piece, โBrain Gallopโ, after the Stephen Malkmus song that was on high rotation on my turntable at the ACE NYC, (I also happened to bump into Mr Malkmus while I was there, and we had a nice chat about the education system in Portland).
