GLIMPSE::Thinkspace Gallery + Andrew Hosner
It is our pleasure to present a look into the world of Thinkspace Gallery in Silverlake and its proprietor, Andrew Hosner. Thinkspace has been a real springboard for emerging artists who have amassed a global following in the past couple of years. With a ‘collecting’ perspective, Andrew carefully shapes the future of his art endeavors. Having such a solid foundation patiently built, it’s easy to say that Thinkspace will be among the leading authorities in the ‘movement’ for a long time to come.
We had the opportunity to visit the gallery, as well as Andrew’s home, all in one afternoon. The passion supporting the effort is manifested in what can only be called a ‘comprehensive’ personal collection - a visual symphony that is part of everyday living. It’s extremely rare that we obtain such insight into the life of a substantial player in the burgeoning contemporary art scene in Los Angeles.
Together with an in-depth interview, we present a litany of photos, edited from much more, forming our first in a series of focused profiles. Thanks, Andrew, for letting us see behind the curtain.

Barry McGee Video Interview@ Ratio3
Northern California public television station, KQED, has posted a wonderful new video interview with Barry McGee. Footage was shot at McGee’s current exhibit, A Moment for Reflection: New Works by Lydia Fong, at Ration 3 Gallery in the artist’s home-town of San Francisco. The 7+ minute feature showcases some great views of McGee’s installation and sheds some further light on the transitional phase he seems to be in.
