RAID Projects and workspace are joining forces for one month to bring you a single entity: RAIDspace/workPROJECTS. In a series of four one-week exhibitions opening every Saturday in April, four independent curators were invited to organize shows that take place in both spaces at the same time, in an attempt to bridge spatial and temporal gaps present in the narrative of art viewing around Los Angeles.

Outside the Project
April 10 – 15, 2010

CANAL curates the work of photographers Sidonie Loiseleux, Nicole C.
Russell, Ruby Johnson, Julie Shafer, Lindsay Ljunkull, Siri Kaur, Heather Rasmussen, Zoe Crosher, and Renee C. Martin. Outside the Project is a physical and online exhibition of works that are not part of these artists’ practices. Most of them work in series or within some sort of self-imposed structure. The photographs in this exhibition are taken between these projects, but are to be considered art objects, despite their lack of structure. Within the context of his exhibition, these photographs are likened to one off drawings or artworks other artists make.

CANAL has curated one artwork from each artist to be exhibited at RAID
Projects in a traditional format, however, more works are visible online. To access this element of the show, there will be Internet access and a public computer available at Workspace during the week long exhibition, and on theCANAL website.
