Subliminal Projects is proud to present the first installment of their new Studio Number One curatorial program, Park Life. Amidst a neighborhood defined by fluid and fixed identities, the series of exhibitions focuses on the creative crossroads of art, design, popular culture, and technology. With works from an expansive network of artists, Park Life attempts to showcase the sense of community that art has the power to create. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 4 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

The community theme of Park Life is very much a representation of the biography of Studio Number One, Subliminal Projects Gallery, and Obey Giant Art.  With the recent move from Koreatown to Echo Park in early 2008, the underground art trifecta knows what it’s like to be the “new kids on the block” and respects the continuous process of adapting to the new environment they now call home. Throughout this process of discovery, the gallery has made it a priority to uncover new interests with old friends and to build a solid relationship with local vendors, neighbors and residents.

In an effort to jumpstart this dialogue of the future, Park Life poses the question, “What defines a community?” The works in this show celebrate the diverse creative collective of friends, relatives, and fellow creators Subliminal Projects has met along their journey. Subliminal Projects invited these “family members” to submit one to three pieces of artwork no larger than 3 feet by 3 feet, revealing the gallery’s open mind and open arms to those attempting to beautify the chaos of the world while simultaneously stimulating thoughts and ideas.
