Los Angeles, CA (February 14, 2023) - Thinkspace Projects brings together an all star lineup of artists for a group exhibition to benefit the American Cancer Society, a cause that is near and dear to their hearts. Gallery co-founder and guiding light Shawn Hosner was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer and it has tossed their entire world upside down and into the air. She’s lovingly referred to as “gallery mom” and she means so much to so many around the world.

“All of us at the gallery have experienced the loss of friends and close loved ones over the years due to this dreaded disease and now that it has entered our home and is staring us directly in the face, we aim to do all we can to help spread awareness on early detection and what you can do to avoid this nightmare entering your life. F cancer!!!”

Rallying the community around the cause, Thinkspace has brought some of their most beloved and incredible artists together for a special group show. With 25% of each sale going to the American Cancer Society, the exhibition uses the dedicated fans of New Contemporary Art to raise funds for an undeniably important cause.

“Our fight has just begun and we want to be sure that every member of our extended family and all of our supporters around the world know of her fight and are sharing their good energy and prayers for her. We want to use her fight as a vehicle to also help others that are facing this horrible disease head on and fighting for their lives.”

Filling the other galleries, Thinkspace features b. Robert Moore’s Out the Mud: A Black American Rite Of Passage, Marissa Reyes’s Fighting Fickle Feelings For You, and Roja’s Asco These shows open March 4, 2023 with a reception from 6PM to 10PM.

About Thinkspace                                       

Thinkspace was founded in 2005; now in LA’s thriving West Adams District, the gallery has garnered an international reputation as one of the most active and productive exponents of the New Contemporary Art Movement. Maintaining its founding commitment to the promotion and support of its artists, Thinkspace has steadily expanded its roster and diversified its projects, creating collaborative and institutional opportunities all over the world. Founded in the spirit of forging recognition for young, emerging, and lesser-known talents, the gallery is now home to artists from all over the world, ranging from the emerging, mid-career, and established.

Though the New Contemporary Art Movement has remained largely unacknowledged by the vetted institutions of the fine art world and its arbiters of ‘high culture,’ the future promises a shift. The Movement’s formative aversion to the establishment is also waning in the wake of its increased visibility, institutional presence, and widespread popularity. Thinkspace has sought to champion and promote the unique breadth of the Movement, creating new opportunities for the presentation of its artists and work. An active advocate for what is now one of the longest extant organized art movements in history, Thinkspace is an established voice for its continued growth and evolution, proving their commitment by expanding its projects beyond Los Angeles, exhibiting with partner galleries and organizations in Berlin, Hong Kong, London, New York City, Detroit, Chicago, and Honolulu among many others, participating in International Art Fairs, and curating New Contemporary content for Museums. Committed to the vision, risk, and exceptional gifts of its artists, the gallery is first and foremost a family. From the streets to the museums, and from the “margins” to the white cube, Thinkspace is re-envisioning what it means to be “institutional.”
