About Workspace
workspace is a venue for exhibitions and projects. It was started in the autumn of 2008 as an accessible and flexible space for creative people to execute their ideas through site-specific artwork and installation.
We host events and opening receptions, but do not maintain regular gallery hours. We encourage visitors to contact us for an appointment.

For the project, Kim created his own letterform creation program that, purposefully, lacks many of the elements of professional graphics programs such as Illustrator and Flash that encourage symmetry, cut-and-paste, and the mathematically precise placement of objects that we associate with digital design, not to mention much digital art....more info

Exhibition Dates: Saturday, November 7, 2009 - Thursday, November 19, 2009
Reception: Saturday, November 7, 2009, 7-10pmIn Blue Boy, an installation at workspace by David Gilbert, objects veer from visual overflow to starkness. Moving between baroque and minimal sensibilities, the work shifts between sculpture, photography, and installation. The same or similar objects are often repeated throughout the show, an effect that creates a sense of visual rhyming.

Drive-By Gallery
Exhibition Dates: Saturday, December 5, 2009 - Thursday, December 31, 2009

They make right by the contradiction on the might of their doubled surfaces: nothing is fixed and fixed points are tried. ...more info
