Track 16 Gallery, 25th Anniversary Exhibition, 2019

In 2009, Track 16 Gallery in Los Angeles exhibited the Crochet Coral Reef, in a stunning, sprawling show that remains a highlight of the reef’s own sprawling CV. Now, in November/December 2019, Track 16 celebrates its 25th anniversary with a zinging exhibition – Attempt to Raise Hell – at its new space in the Bendix Building in downtown LA. This power-packed assortment of work features individual pieces from almost all the artists who have shown at Track 16 over the years from the shows they exhibited there. Included also is a new piece of hyperbolic crochet by IFF co-director Christine Wertheim. The IFF is honored to be here along with so many artist we admire: Georgeanne Dean, Laurie Steelink, Manuel Ocampo, Marsian De Lellis, Janie Geiser, Johanna Went, Mondongo and others. We salute Track 16’s founder and on-going impresario Tom Patchett, the greatest under-heralded patron of LA art.

Attempt to Raise Hell is curated by Sean Meredith.

Dates: November 16 – December 21, 2019.

Location: Bendix Building, 1206 Maple Ave, Los Angeles, 90015.
