After six years of curating and producing exhibitions, talks and special programs, the individual artists who run Crawl Space Gallery have decided to disband in order to pursue independent interests. Crawl Space will therefore cease to exist following our final and most ambitious show to date, Stranger Circumstances, opening on November 7th, 2009.
Thank you for your support. We hope you will join us for one last celebration on November 7th at 6pm.

STRANGER CIRCUMSTANCES
PDL, MASSIMO GUERRERA, ALANA RILEY, RON TRAN
curated by Jennifer Campbell
7 November to 29 November 2009
25 Oct- Nov 6: Artist in Residency- Massimo Guerrera
Stranger Circumstances is a curated exhibition bringing together artists who devise strategies in their art practices to connect with people they would otherwise never encounter. In this current moment of social and economic uncertainty, we have seen the general public pulling together in order to make a difference in the world around them. This trend often means trusting in and interacting with strangers in order to build stronger and healthier communities. Stranger Circumstances is an exhibition of works and performances by artists who put stock in experimental social exploration and have therefore decided to approach strangers either as collaborators, research subjects or participants in unconventional performances.
Stranger Circumstances highlighted in Jen Graves’ Fall Preview:
‘Stranger Circumstances’
Artists always want you to do something nowadays: No more passive spectatorship. What the hell do they really want from you, and how does this relate to the current political, economic, and social moment? Seattle artist trio PDL joins Italian artist Massimo Guerrera, Montreal’s Alana Riley, and Vancouver’s Ron Tran in considering—and taking part in—more awkward, open-ended, and infinitely hopeful encounters between artists and strangers. Nov 7–29. Crawl Space, 504 E Denny Way #1, 201-2441. JG
