Unit of Measure curated by Ruth Bowler

Artist Reception Friday July 8th 7 -10 pm – in conjunction with City Arts Gallery and The Official Artscape Satellite Exhibitions

In this summer’s Artscape exhibition, Unit of Measure, artists Anne Chan, Ian MacLean Davis, Ingrid Burrington, Mike McKee, Paul Daniel, Steven Dobbin & W.C.Richardson take on the cavernous space of Area 405 with everything from dozens of paint can lids to thousands of business cards.

Standard measures are a part of daily life, a cup of flour, an hour of time, but each of us has our own quirky ways of understanding the world we find ourselves in. “Unit of Measure” looks at seven area artists and their uniquely individual ways of measuring time, space and experience. – Ruth Bowler.
