at the Brewery Project, 1993–2007:
the Finale

December 7, 2008 – March 1, 2009

Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA

from the Armory Arts website:
at the Brewery Project contributed to contemporary art in Southern California by being a unique, artist-organized exhibition showcase. This Finale draws from a selection of the shows in which a smaller number of artists update their contributions from the past.


From John O’Brien’s essay:
“at the Brewery Project provided an avenue for artists to work with their most recent art, even creating new work on site. … The pleasure of collating unseen or unfinished art works and working with last-minute problems correlated with my own experiences as a performance and installation artist. I believe that the artists who take these issues seriously and work off of the raw tension that they generate, merit our trust. So the Armory assigned some of its more eccentric spaces to the outbound.ed group. That way we could be: outbound from the white cube, out of the usual bounds with site specific or site responsive work, and only edited after the fact. This, I believe, is a fine, unpredictable, temporary end point for here and now.”
