DOUBLE TROUBLE at Ever Gold

This week on view at the Ever Gold:

John Casey & Althea James

Monica Canilao & Constance Castillo

Closing party Thursday, August 27, 6 - 9pm.

Double Trouble looks at the mentor relationship through exploring the collaborative artistic process. Often times our artist mentors are people we do not know personally, they are people who inspire us through the things we read about them and the things we see that they make. If we do happen to know the people who inspire our artistic practice personally, the situation where we would share in their creative process and make work with them does not present itself.

Nine young, emerging artists in Double Trouble sought out an artist whose work gives them inspiration, whose ideas nurture the creativity inside themselves and asked if they would create a collaborative work with them. Double Trouble is a show with 18 artists, at varying stages of their careers, working together in pairs to create the works on view for Double Trouble.

Curated by Tara Lisa Foley & Nina Potepan.

EVER GOLD

The Ever Gold is a new artist-run project-space/gallery  in the heart of San Francisco's Tenderloin district going into its sixth month. Check out www.evergoldgallery.blogspot.com for more information and upcoming shows!

Sprouting from a sea of numerous art galleries within San Francisco, the Ever Gold announces its uprising as an experimental artist space bringing progressive work to the eyes of the public. The quarters of the Ever Gold are dedicated to emerging and mid career artists who work in both traditional as well as contemporary avenues of art making. 

Sandwiched amongst Union Square and the Tenderloin, the Ever Gold finds itself within the gray space amid high culture and street lifestyles. The Ever Gold, as a collaborative force composed of four, wishes to create and preserve a dialogue connecting showcased work and the outside world. Thus functioning as a catalyst between the two, which will bring forward new venues for individual artists to explore.

The Ever Gold is pleased to announce its new beginning brought to you by Alex Braubach, Christian Ebert, Gregory Ito, and Andrew McClintock.
