Gallery XIV

Ahhh the possibilities of a white wall! It seems there’s so much thought that goes into curating a show: how to convey an ethos or feeling, choosing pieces that reflect that and intrigue the viewer, the placement aethestically and helping to continue the narrative. I feel like it’s an art in itself to bring together various elements and create a cohesive exhibit. And was quite impressed with the overall caliber at GXIV.
Nestled into the art mecca of the South End beneath the studios at 450 Harrison, the gallery is a great venue for showcasing works. The space is fairly configurable and could comfortably hold 150 or so guests with a bar and a small band. Thought he ceilings are low, there’s much wall surface area and capacity for 3D work in the center of the room. Overall, it’s got good flow, and ambling and perusing is effortless and enjoyable.

Came here for the OYFP Wine Tasting Event… and I’m so glad I did. I didn’t realize there was a whole strip of galleries right along this side street.
The art work exhibited in this series of «a politic» surely showed us today’s controversies in American politics and the everyday controversies we debate on day in and day out, featuring a collection of 40 different American artists from around the nation.
Taylor — one of the galleries staff — was informative in answering some of our questions on the pieces within the gallery and the series displayed.
The «a politic» series will be displayed until October 4^th so be sure to check them out and vote for your top 2 pieces.
