Literally everything you do involves space, but how often do we really think about the area we occupy? Take it a step further, how often do you consider the space that your work occupies or the implications of space on the work you make. Sure, we give it a bit of thought every once and a while, but for most of us, we rush right past understanding the space around us and head into other territory like concept, aesthetic, or client needs.
This week Ryan and Garreth sit down in the studio to begin to chart out a bit of territory in a larger discussion of space and its many implications in the work we create. No matter your medium, the way we understand the physical realm we operate in is a major priority.
Stream our documentary The Builder!
For a limited time, our documentary The Builder is available to stream on Vimeo! The film centers on the art scene in Richmond, Virginia, with a focus on Oregon Hill native and contractor Don Childress, who–to the surprise of many–has an incredible contemporary art collection. This collection includes work from Francisco Clemente, Ron Johnson, and Bill Fisher to name just a few. Check out more at The Builder’s website.

Help Ken Gilbertson and Hatchback Gallery!
Our good friend Ken is trying to update Hatchback Gallery to better serve his new city and its art lovers.
