The Square Foot Show

ART GOTHAM’S 5th SQUARE FOOT SHOW | SUMMER 2008 A biannual, community event in SoHo to benefit artists Opening Reception: Saturday, June 7th 1pm – 8pm Works on View: Saturday, June 7th – Saturday July 12th ART GOTHAM is pleased to present The Square Foot Show, a group exhibition of art by living artists to be held Saturday, June 7th until Saturday, July 12th in our new SoHo gallery space. Like the Salons in Paris of the late 1800's, this exhibit will present the latest work by hundreds of artists of the present day to be judged by the general public. We enter this world with both the boundless freshness of new life and the limitations of the world in which we are born. The fertile soil of our limitations allows us to find ways to create opportunities, alternatives and solutions that we perhaps would not have arrived at if not given such boundaries. Coming from that place of limitations, we naturally and innately counteract with ingenuity, creativity, invention and boldness. Drawing on this idea, Art Gotham’s Square Foot Show sets the stage for each artist to create his or her unique work - boundless creation and ingenuity inspired by existing boundaries. Each artist in this dynamic group exhibition will start from square one. They were given a uniform one by one foot square canvas as a base on which to leave their individual artistic marks. All works on display are fresh and will have been created within the past three months. The final results will be displayed at ART GOTHAM's new SoHo location at 192 Avenue of the Americas between Spring and Prince with an opening reception on Saturday, June 7th from 1pm – 8pm. Collectors, press and other art enthusiasts are invited to the receptions to celebrate the art community of New York City. The Square Foot Show is designed to be a community event to bring together art buyers and art enthusiasts with artists.
