*Update Here is an update of Opening Night pictures from Space//Squared courtesy of Brock Brake.
Space//Squared will open this Saturday at San Francisco’s White Walls Gallery. The exhibition curated by Sven Davis brings together over 100 artists to build work around the notion of architectural landscape. Space Squared also references the set size for the work to be exhibited. This impressive international lineup not only delves into important conversations about today’s architectural landscape, but also exhibits a survey of today’s rising contemporaries. Sven has an eye for emerging talent and although the lineup features some of today’s established artists such as the Clayton brothers, it also introduces some important new artists. It is the range of the lineup that brings the whole concept of the show together enabling for a broader experience of aesthetics and concept. Don’t miss the opportunity to this amount of art in one space. We strongly suggest if you are in San Francisco come by and say Hello to Sven as he has made the trip from the UK to see over the hanging of the exhibition.

SPACE//SQUARED
A group exhibition curated by Sven Davis
White Walls Gallery, San Francisco, CA.
10 May – 7 June 2014
White Walls Gallery 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 10×10 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.
