Presented as Samuel Freeman Gallery at Bergamot Station, Santa Monica.

Mostly Sculpture (Damn It)
July 11 – August 29, 2009

For its summer group show (opening July 11), Samuel Freeman will be exhibiting a group show of mostly sculpture. While looking for new painters for a group exhibition, Mr. Freeman quite accidentally accumulated sculptors instead. The plan for a ‘New Paintings’ show was smothered by the weight and brilliance of these unplanned and unsought sculptors. “Mostly Sculpture (damn it)” is the outcome. The exhibition will still include several two-dimensional works to highlight the object quality and physical interaction of sculpture, but will remain dedicated to the absurd, the delicate, and the impossible within contemporary sculpture.

The roster of artists is drawn from within the gallery’s history and from new sources. Berg, Myers and Kozul join us from New York, Ko from Washington, Farrow out of San Francisco, Rath, Redding and Squires from Los Angeles, and Hollinger from Boston.
