Five Thirty Three - Los Angeles - USA

FIVE THIRTY THREE is located in a mixed-use loft in the Fashion District of Downtown Los Angeles. During the day the gallery witnesses the bustle of busy streets overflowing with people. At night, the neighborhood is transformed into the most desolate of urban spaces. It is the goal of Five Thirty Three to reflect this eclecticism through its art program. The space is directed collaboratively in order to continually rethink modes of exhibition, and outside artists are invited to collaborate with the gallery in producing new and vital shows. By showing primarily group exhibitions that incorporate an interdisciplinary approach, Five Thirty Three hopes to create an open dialogue and community catalyzed by art, music, and design.

Fifth Floor - Los Angeles - USA

Opened in January of 2008, Fifth Floor is a hybrid art/design gallery in the heart of LA’s Chinatown. Owner, Robert Apodaca’s background in architecture sees that the space delights in a mixture of contemporary art and design. Work by varying artists, designers, and architects rotate through the exhibition areas every month to two months; all the while, a steady base of unique accessories, jewelry, furniture and design objects remain on display. Many of these hand-made objects are available nowhere else besides Fifth Floor.
Fifth Floor´s gallery shows a wide range of work from painting and mixed media to furniture and even architectural exhibits. We are interested in exploring the realms of both art and design and their multiple intersections. Often leaning heavily on tectonic and/or spatial notions we think that concept and craft should not be mutually exclusive terms. While not every exhibition is conceptually driven, these often do explore socially relevant topics such as sustainable design and community issues.

C4 Contemporary Art - Los Angeles - USA

The gallery was opened in 2008 as a means of diffusion and showing progressive 'pre bubble' contemporary art (including photography, painting, sculpture and sound/film media projects) with an eye to showing fresh visions by mid career artists who aren't a by-product of a cynical commercial art market. It came out of a response to work started appearing in the last fifteen years which contained all the visual signifiers of a 'contemporary art' but which was missing vitality, brilliance, ingenuity an 'presence'.
The gallery was built and formed with an idea in mind. That idea was is to provide an antidote to what was sorely lacking in commercial and public galleries and museuems in Los Angeles in general. In an era where the 'market' has managed to pervert the sensitibilities that previously existed in the best galleries in order to uphold the agenda OF that market and wherein the message, the works and the artist themselves even - become unimportant and even marginalized by the economic system that it created. We are trying something a little bit radical in our response to this - and with it (we hope) also changing the sensibilities of the 'market' itself. Our solution for the overall problem is also trying to create a solution for it's side effects. We make avoilable to the public, to artists, to collectors and other interested parties, cultural andintellectual resources where none would otherwise exist, and where none would otherwise further enable the erosion of the social corpus. To us, this is the most critical tool available in preventing collapse into the 'status quo'. We endeavor also to make high quality art available to the public at hours when it is convenient for THEM, not US (we are open noon until 8 p.m. tuesdays through sundays). For us, this is central to the success of our platform - and also (hopefully) a model which other galleries and museums will soon emulate as well. We look to european centers for our own inspiration along these lines (i.e. - the Centre Georges Pompidou which has traditionally been open nightly unti very late hours).
You will, of course get a much better idea of this by viewing the contents of the exhibition descriptions, but generally speaking we attempt to go to great lengths to help artists, collectors and interested parties bring meaning to their respective worlds. That is to say: to make visual art accessible and fascinating in a world where it's really hard for even the most seasoned savant to make sense of what's going on. We are in the process of setting up practical workshops, lectures and other presentations - please visit the website frequently to keep abreast of what's going on or else subscribe to our mailing list for automatic updates by e-mail.

Art Murmur Gallery - Los Angeles - USA

The result of their blended vision is an art space devoted to two main objectives - exhibiting a high level of artistic technique and skill, and creatively communicating the ever-changing position of art in the world, past and present. Thus, the following have emerged as basic tenets of Art Murmur Gallery:
1. Art Murmur is dedicated to showcasing the artwork of Los Angeles' most promising young and emerging contemporary artists.
2. Art Murmur consistently compares and contrasts the sensibility of the local contemporary art scene with other areas of interest in the United States and the world.
3. Art Murmur mounts thematic exhibitions that promote discussion on current issues of interest and concern. Such exhibitions have included social, political, and economic themes, as well as important artistic trends and movements.
4. And lastly, Art Murmur is located in downtown Los Angeles, which is in the midst of exciting urban renewal. Art Murmur is delighted to be among the small group of dedicated businesses that are doing their part to facilitate this revitalization.

AndrewShire Gallery - Los Angeles - USA

By 2006 the gallery was hosting ongoing art history and contemporary art survey classes for the Korean-speaking public. The content of these classes ranged from the survey of ancient art and architecture to lectures on conceptualism which emphasized critical issues in postmodern philosophy.
March of 2006 marked another transformation when the gallery established a satellite space in Singapore. In hopes of creating a platform to source and spotlight contemporary art in the region, the gallery anticipates a greater cross-pollination of ideas between east and west. The exhibition program in Singapore begins late in 2007.
Over the past four years since the gallery changed ownership, it has increasingly dedicated its program to the development and exhibition of established artists and to younger local talent. While continuing its international focus by bringing art of the Asian Pacific Basin, Europe and other countries to greater Los Angeles, AndrewShire Gallery remains dedicated to the exhibition of innovative work by up-and-coming art makers. The goal of contributing to the arts information flow and to the public dialog among diverse groups of people by stimulating interaction, appreciation and an exchange of ideas not only helps to maintain the gallery’s financial stability, but also promotes support for public awareness in the arts. Through projects, events and exhibitions, AndrewShire Gallery strives to provide opportunities for the Korean-American community and for other groups of people interested in contemporary art to engage in this interchange. It sustains an interest in making connections between artists and communities that would, otherwise, remain separated from each other.
Located on Wilshire Boulevard in the heart of LA’s Koreatown, AndrewShire Gallery is located one-half block west of Western Avenue at the southeast corner of St. Andrews near the Wiltern Theater.
