48 Pillars was inspired by a chance encounter at Flax with a close-out sale of deep vertical panels, 48” x 12” x 1 5/8”.  24 local Bay Area artists will produce two pieces each on these identically sized panels that will exactly ring the gallery - 48 works total.
 
This is the second exhibition at Arc Gallery that is essentially a “structural constraint” show.  The other exhibition is our iconic annual, end of summer exhibition, FourSquared.  In both exhibitions, the artists are unconstrained in subject matter except to the extent that works need to be a series; but they are constrained in format.  It should be visually stunning.
