Twelve Galleries Project began as a roving exhibition series featuring the work of emerging artists over the coarse of one year. With each new month, a new location was selected and a new gallery was formed. For its next venture, Twelve Galleries Project will focus its attention on twelve curators. Every quarter of the next year, within an existing Chicago gallery, three curators will collectively organize a themed exhibition as part of the Quarterly Site Series.
PENTAGON Gallery was founded by Michael A. Garcia and Jake Myers on a deal forged through a internet ad. The name was conceived by Jake to suit both a metaphor for authority and the deviant nature of a pentagram. PENTAGON not only showcases work by artists, it functions as a place for screenings and the newly founded COLLECTIVE.
