FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HOSFELT GALLERY OPENS MANHATTAN VENUE

 

Hosfelt Gallery is pleased to announce the February 2006 opening of a 7,500 square
foot gallery space in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen.

Hosfelt Gallery has exhibited international emerging and mid-career artists in San
Francisco since 1996. While the California venue will continue to focus on inter-
national artists, the New York program will contextualize West Coast artists within
the international milieu.

Artists exhibited will include: Richard Barnes, Nelleke Beltjens, Jim Campbell, Susan
Marie Dopp, Nicole Phungrasamee Fein, Ron Griffin, Andrea Higgins, Timothy Horn,
Naomie Kremer, Michael Light, Dorothy Napangardi, Gay Outlaw, Liliana Porter,
Greg Rose, Gideon Rubin & others.

The exhibition spaces have been designed around concepts of spatial flow and an
extraordinary proliferation of daylight. A sixty-five foot long exhibition space links
two forty by forty foot galleries. Art will be lit principally by diffused skylight, yet all
of the galleries are designed with the possibility of darkening them completely to
accommodate artworks utilizing technologies.

The gallery design is by award-winning San Francisco designer Louis Schump in
association with the Manhattan architecture firm FXFowle (formerly Fox & Fowle).
A permanent piece by digital artist Jim Campbell will be installed on the outside of
the building.

An exhaustive, eleven-month exploration of real estate led to the gallery site.
Hell’s Kitchen offered attractive building stock and the best light. It’s an interesting
transitional neighborhood in the same general direction as the current gallery
center, while remaining distinct.

OPENING: Saturday 18 February 2006
