For those of you in the Los Angeles area, Peres Projects presents its summer group show Minneapolis, running July 2 until August 29, 2009.
According to the gallery’s press release, “Minneapolis is a city in the Midwestern United States, known for its high rate of literacy and racially tolerant atmosphere. In many respects it is the ideal American city, where coexisting cultures thrive, and in turn breed successive generations of even more creative, talented inhabitants. ‘Minneapolis’ considers the implications of Minneapolis, its legacy and impact on everyone who has never been there.”
While Javier Peres is widely recognized for cultivating the careers of hot young superstars Dan Colen, Terrence Koh, and Dash Snow (who are all included in the show), Minneapolis takes the opportunity to showcase some of the lesser known, but equally captivating artists in gallery’s stable, including Mark Tichner, Paul Lee, Amie Dicke, Dan Attoe, Mark Flood, Kirstine Roepstorff, John Kleckner, Kaye Donachie, and Joe Bradley. As a whole, the show reveals the depth of talent represented by Peres Projects, and it is perfect for anyone looking for an introduction to a gallery that the rest of the art world just can’t seem to get enough of.
