ABOUT THINKSPACE:

Founded in Los Angeles in 2005, and located in the Culver City art district since 2009, Thinkspace was established with a commitment to the promotion and dissemination of young and emerging art. The gallery is a catalytic conduit for the emerging art scene, and is dedicated to the exposure of its tenets and its artists. This movement, straddled between popular culture, graphic art, design and street art, is subject to steadily increasing global expansion, and is in need of institutional advocates. Thinkspace is positioned to create opportunities and a visible platform for its recognition and proliferation. The movement is young, but significant, and Thinkspace's aim is to establish both a curatorial forum and a collector base for its output. As an institution, Thinkspace is committed to vision, risk, and the exceptional talents that wield it. From the streets, to the gallery, from the "margins", to the white cube, Thinkspace is reenvisioning what it means to be "institutional". As a haven for talent, and a venue founded in passion, conviction, and community, the gallery's mandate is rooted in projections for its future longevity. We intend to be a vehicle for the talents we vet for year's to come, and are passionate advocates for their vision and their dreams.
