SILVERMAN GALLERY

Silverman MISSION
Founded in 2006, Silverman is a gallery, boutique and project-space. Working within the framework of curation, Silverman explores the relationship between disciplines. Silverman is a collaborative effort to subvert the languages, both theoretical and visual, which are commonly used to define "exhibition". Silverman is based on a concept that seeks to maintain a direct connection between the venue and the exhibition by establishing aa connection between the space and the art it houses. By not formulating our own rules and definitions, Silverman encourages the re-articulation of meaning when communicated over social, cultural and geographical distances.

PING PONG GALLERY

Ping Pong Gallery MISSION
Ping Pong Gallery was founded in 2005 by artists Vanessa Blaikie and Joey Piziali. It was conceived of as a creative incubator and alternative art space wherein an action-oriented activity (ping pong), seemingly un-
related to the arts, would give shape to an exhibition space and set in motion both a literal and figurative dialogue between artists and individuals.
