| den contemporary promotes
talented emerging and mid-career artists who create compelling,
innovative, and thoughtful works with a focus on non-objective
approaches and conceptually-based practices. Established in 2004,
the gallery program features painting, photography, three-dimensional
work, video and audio art. The gallery's mission is to cultivate
careers for artists who are based worldwide, and has often presented
for artists their Los Angeles and/or United States-debut exhibitions. |
| With a strong curatorial program first presented in Culver City through the end of 2008, den has become an integral presence in the art district, receiving frequent critical support through reviews and articles featured in national and international publications such as Art in America, Flash Art, Tema Celeste, the Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, LA Weekly, art ltd., Art Scene, Conde Nast Traveller, AAA Travel Magazine, and others. In 2007, the London-based art magazine Contemporary named den as “One of 50 Emerging Galleries from Around the World.” In 2009, owner Donna Enad Napper was selected to join Pacific Design Center's new invitational art program for gallerists and independent curators, where she presents an ongoing series of exhibitions. She is presently an Executive Committee Member of ArtTable, a national organization for women leaders in visual arts, and in 2011 was included in the documentary film 'LA Woman' produced by Kate Crash and EZTV, with interviews of over 20 pioneering, emerging, innovative and otherwise compelling Los Angeles-based female artists, philosophers, arts administrators and social entrepreneurs. |
