Sour Harvest

We’re super excited to be working with MN based artist Cherri Wood. She’s just staring to break into the scene and is in a number of group shows over the coming months with the likes of us, Carmichael Contemporary here in LA and also Gallery 1988 up in SF. She’ll be kicking things off with our API show this January and we’ve already got plans in place through 2010 with her, so please take a moment to check out here work at the below links:

National Bird Day will take place on Sat, Jan. 5th, 2008 and thinkspace will be hosting a special exhibition entitled “Fight For Flight” that will have an opening reception on Fri, January 4th. The opening will be sponsored by Dewars and Grolsch and will take place from 7-11PM. There will be a special motorized installation from P. Williams in our front room and an exhibition in our main gallery featuring over fifty international artists contributing bird inspired works for this special 2-day only exhibition.

We will also be open on Sat, Jan. 5th from noon till 6PM for further viewing of the show and we will have a special coloring contest for kids taking place in our project room during the day that afternoon, to encourage families to come through together and experience this amazing gathering of talent and hopefully walk away with some knowledge gained on our feathered friends and all things cute and furry that the API help to protect and defend.

QUICK RECAP:
· Opening Reception: Fri, Jan. 4th, 2008 (show runs through Sat, Jan. 5th – special 2-day only event)
· Show will benefit: www.api4animals.org and help to spread the word on National Bird Day (Sat, Jan. 5th, 2008)
· 20% of all sales will go to the API and we will also have an API booth on hand in our back project room accepting further donations from our patrons during National Bird Day weekend.

We are SO stoked to host his debut LA solo show – coming up on Fri, Dec. 7th in our project room… we’ll have some killer behind the scenes / progress shots posted later this week on our flickr – look for a link on homepage of www.thinkspacegallery.com below Jesse’s postcard for his show… promises to be a killer eve and with the ‘Snow Angels’ show rocking the front room and rumors of a snow machine taking things to the next level out front… mark your calendars now!

Yet another worthy site to check out almost daily is http://www.creepmachine.com/ – they keep getting better and better. Good way to kill a few minutes, along with all the other daily must visit sites like www.vinylpulse.com; www.juxtapoz.com; www.fecalface.com; www.woostercollective.com; www.papermonster.net; www.slamxhype.com; etc.
