VOLUME
VOLUME is an experimental and expansive exhibition featuring a wide spectrum of LA and NY-based contemporary artists of diverse media — painting, sculpture, site-specific and multi-media installation, performance, sound art, and video — whose collective bios boast prestigious bi-coastal, national and international exhibitions, including at the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the New Museum New York, Performa, Deitch Projects, and documenta.
Contained within AT1 Projects, a 12,500 square-foot alternative venue, VOLUME takes advantage of space en masse; each artist will independently create, fill, employ, dissect, reconsider, and/or theoretically deconstruct the far-flung spaces within the massive warehouse locale. Rounding out VOLUME’s audible dimension, solo and interactive sound and music performances will inhabit the venue on opening night. As if 12,500 square-feet were not enough, New York-based curatorial collective Super/Prime will occupy the adjacent “Super/Prime PAVILION”.
Inspired by the sprawling spaciousness of LA’s landscape as springboard and welcome respite from NY’s intensely condensed atmosphere, VOLUME’s New York-based curator, Andrea Neustein, unites East and West coast artists for this ambitious investigation of sound and space.
