Inaugural Exhibition 'Breaking Ground Breaking' Opens June 2, 2007

Catharine Clark Gallery is pleased to announce Breaking Ground Breaking, the inaugural group exhibition in the gallery's new location at 150 Minna Street, adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The opening reception is Saturday, June 2, 1-7pm.

Breaking Ground Breaking presents a selection of artists, some with long relationships to Catharine Clark Gallery and some newly acquainted. For this auspicious occasion, the inaugural exhibition in the new location of the gallery at 150 Minna Street in San Francisco, the selection of work is informed by the popular construction term "ground breaking"-wherein the first dig with a shovel signifies new creation and forecasts growth-in reference to Los Angeles-based architectural designer Tim Campbell's recent transformation of the new space on Minna Street from a former 1920s farming equipment warehouse to a contemporary art gallery. The inversely phrased breaking ground offered another point of departure and a way to subvert these themes. The exhibition offers a microcosm of the gallery's next eighteen months of programming while also presenting a cross-section of the gallery's seventeen year history. The art works present a span of media that ranges from painting and drawing to print making, site specific sculptural installation to conceptual works and new media. Established in 1991, Catharine Clark Gallery presents the work of contemporary artists. A wide range of media is included in the gallery stores with an emphasis on content driven work that challenges both the traditional use of materials and formal aesthetics.
