As the Bay Area art scene continues to be transformed by dynamic social and economic forces, it becomes vital to form and maintain the connections between all the agents that are working to keep and provide support to our local artists —just as plant's roots help hold soil in its place, keeping it from blowing away. With diversity within community as a catalyst, 2291 3rd St. is pleased to announce the group exhibition titled Real Time and Space: A Group Exhibition, including work by a selection of artists from the Oakland-based Real Time & Space Artist Studios.
The Bay Area possesses a diverse ecology of artists and art spaces, with a vibrancy that emerges from both shared and contested values, and a pervasive sense of exploration of new resource and organizational models. A compelling example of where the exploration leads is Real Time & Space —a fascinating model for artist studios that serves as the inspiration to some other efforts in both Oakland and San Francisco. The Real Time & Space artists included in the exhibition are Kate Rhoades, Conrad Guevara, Amy Ho, Cybele Lyle, Amy Rathbone, Dan Swindel, Lana Williams, Emma Spertus, Beth Krebs, Alex "Lex" Kosieradzki, Rachelle Reichert, Ian Dolton-Thornton, Mark Nicola, as well as artist in residence Courtney Tramposh.
Real Time & Space: A Group Exhibition is a collaboration between Real Time & Space artists, Minnesota Street Project's Brion Nuda Rosch, Director of the soon-to-open Minnesota Street Project Artist Studio Program — opening 2016 — and 2291 3rd St.'s curators Teresa Goodman and Ralph Vázquez-Concepción. The exhibition will address heterogeneity, individuality, and community within Real Time & Space by engaging select works by the included artists —the exhibition fosters a dialogue on possible points of divergence and convergence between their studio practices and individual aesthetic investigations.
Gallery hours at 2291 3rd St. are Thursday through Saturday from noon to 6 pm — and by appointment. There will be an additional performance and screening on Thursday, December 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
Real Time & Space (RTS) is comprised of 15 work-only artist studios and an artist residency program located in a former print shop in Oakland’s Chinatown. The mission of RTS is to provide a productive and participatory workspace for its members and residents by fostering opportunities for dialog, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary interaction. Their members include a broad range of artists, writers, curators, and designers. By offering a residency program open to local, national, and international cultural producers, RTS seeks to facilitate the exchange of ideas within and beyond the Bay Area artistic community. Numerous public programs such as artist talks, film screenings, and social events enhance their overall mission by supporting further opportunities for conversations to take place.
