A Space Gallery
A Space is a Canadian artist-run centre located in Toronto, Ontario
Background
[edit | edit source]The gallery originated as the Nightingale Arts Council in 1970,[1] and was founded in 1971.[2] The name A Space Gallery was first used when the gallery established itself at 85 St. Nicholas Street.[3] It was the first gallery in Toronto committed to the "urgent and emergent" in art.[4] A Space was exactly what it was - "a space to fill...the scene of some pioneering efforts in the field of camera art, video and sound technology as put to work in artistic applications".[5]
The first exhibition Concept 70 was organized by Robert Bowers and Chris Youngs and included works by Ian Carr-Harris, Stephen Cruise, John McEwen, Dennis Oppenheim and General Idea.[6] Today, it focuses on political and social art work, such as the 2015 Detention exhibition.[7] A Space Gallery receives funding from the Ontario Arts Council.[8]
