UPCOMING
Group Show: Suggestivism, Grand Central Art Center, LA
September 4 – October 17, 2011
http://www.nathanspoor.com/NS_GCAC_Suggestivism.html
http://www.grandcentralartcenter.com/
Cal State University’s cutting-edge museum arm, Grand Central Art Center, and Nathan Spoor present a comprehensive survey exhibition that explores and documents a select section of modern contemporary artists, which make up the vibrant core of creativity existing in the current art world.
Conceptually speaking, the term “Suggestivism” refers to the ability of an individual to pursue their purpose with an amplified understanding and sensitivity. The artists involved represent precisely this – a wave of purpose, working within the more fluid aspects of narrative or figurative arenas. Through the mere power of suggestion, the magic is transferred from one to another, engaging the world at large from the most vivid and evocative of visual realms.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a handsome double-book box set that includes the Suggestivism exhibition, as well as a fascinating time capsule of interviews with each artist compiled by writing duo Greg Escalante and Nathan Spoor.
