Preview: Thinkspace Gallery 10th Anniversary Group Exhibit “La Familia” [Culver City, CA]
Over 110 important names in underground contemporary art celebrate the Culver City gallery’s 10th year in the business by contributing new 10″ x 10″ works.
For a decade now, the Thinkspace Gallery has remained at the forefront of the lowbrow, underground contemporary, and pop surrealist art movements, consistently working to provide a platform and visibility for emerging talent alongside more established names in the industry. Operating from their homebase in Culver City, Ca, co-owner/curator Andrew Hosner has assembled some genuinely stunning solo shows and group exhibits alike, even collaborating with outside galleries, such as Spoke Art in San Francisco, and taking things internationally, as with their 2012 LAX/HKG show, in which 8 members from their impressive roster showcased work at the Above Second Gallery in Hong Kong. Likewise, the talent that they represent extends globally, with notable artists hailing from such varied countries as Brazil (João Ruas, Fernando Chamarelli), Australia (Meggs, Rodrigo Luff, Bec Winnel, DABS MYLA), Mexico (Curiot, Kikyz1313), Japan (Fuco Ueda, Mari Inukai, Yosuke Ueno), and Italy (Marco Mazzoni,), just to name a handful.
In celebration of their first 10 years as an essential force in this industry, Thinkspace opens the La Familia 1oth anniversary group exhibit this Saturday the 10th, consisting of over 110 artists, both from their “permanent roster and extended family,” contributing small works on 10″ x 10″ panels (provided by co-presenter Trekell fine art supplies). This is definitely one show to catch in person, if you are in any way able to do so; the lineup for this event is insane and the variety of styles represented will demonstrate immeasurable brilliance and range.

Thinkspace (Los Angeles) – is pleased to celebrate its ten year anniversary with La Familia, a group exhibition featuring over 120 small works, and huge talent, by the gallery’s permanent roster and extended family. Co-presented with Trekell, each artist will produce a 10” x 10” work on panel to commemorate the gallery’s fortuitous milestone, and to commend the creativity of all those who have built the foundations for its future. This special exhibition is dedicated to the growing strength of our numbers and, most importantly, to our artists.
Since its beginning in 2005, the gallery has sustained its commitment to young and emerging art, building a foundation and platform for the New Contemporary movement. Founded in community and partnership, we have been pursuing a gallery model that extends beyond the white cube into something far more passionate and personal. With a vested interest in the support and promotion of our roster as individuals, we celebrate not only the gallery’s decade mark with La Familia, but the artists who have made our gallery great, vital, and ten years strong. We are humbled by their visionary voices, entities we strive to uphold, and have been building more than a gallery together, we have been building a movement.
At the close of an incredibly successful year, we are grateful to be gearing up for yet another important one ahead, and the gallery’s most ambitious to date. With an exciting exhibition schedule on the horizon including pop-up projects, two major museum shows, and more art fairs, it’s safe to say that we are just getting started. We look forward to sharing the upcoming year with you and have our sights set on the next ten.
