02.20.09 ALL IN THE FAMILY
Team Gallery's spin-off space has rotating curators and wildly diverging talent, but it's all part of one grand plan

To create something totally unexpected within the white walls of New York's Team Gallery, owner Jose Freire gave the green light to partners Miriam Katzeff, Alex Logsdail, and Owen Reynolds Clement to recreate the gallery's bottom floor. They came up with Gallery-C, an autonomous project space designed to showcase smaller, more concise works by young artists. Free of the need to commit to representing these artists for the long term, Gallery-C is able to take risks on a range of promising but relatively unknown artists. And these artists, in turn, are encouraged to treat Gallery-C purely as a project space where they can develop ideas and create "one-off projects that are free of constraints." Apart from providing artists with the freedom to experiment in a highly trafficked gallery, Gallery-C is also unique in its curatorial process. Katzeff, Logsdail, and Clement each take turns choosing an artist to show, and, as a result, "there [are] three very clear stylistic tangents." First up is Josh Shaddock (curated by Logsdail), followed by James J. Williams III and Alex Hubbard. And while each artist is doing something totally different, there is an aesthetic thread that ties them to each other and to the gallery itself. Perrin Drumm
