For a special three-day only exhibition, Los Angeles based contemporary gallery LeBasse Projects expands its horizons to the East Coast. LeBasse Projects’ temporary exhibition offers New York a collection of work by some of the gallery’s best and brightest talent. ‘Go East’ presents the gallery’s penchant for fresh, innovative artists featuring Yoskay Yamamoto, Tessar Lo, Edwin Ushiro, Joao Ruas, Eric Fortune, Mia, and Nate Frizzell.

Though LeBasse Projects calls Culver City’s Art District home base, it aims to conceptually extend its white walls and showcase its core group of artists. The ‘Go East’ exhibition marks one of many future endeavors LeBasse Projects is planning to carry the messages of its artists around the globe. The seven artists in this exhibition represent the many new contemporary style that LeBasse Projects has helped define.

I had the pleasure to go to yesterday’s press preview of the upcoming ‘Go East’ show by LeBasse Projects and met Beau Basse, owner and curator of the gallery. I have always been jealous of the gallery shows on the West Coast, and Beau has transplanted his West Coast gallery over to the Lower East Side of Manhattan in a quaint little space on 42 Rivington. Bringing a group of artists who make their East Coast gallery debut. The main gallery events take place on Saturday, starting at noon with a print release and signing event.  They also have a limited amount of white/chrome Koibitos for sale. You should all go out and check out the 3 day pop-up show. With more support for West Coast galleries and our favorite lowbrow artists, we can look forward to seeing more West Coast artists participating in gallery events in the East Coast.

We’ll have more coverage for you next week for Saturday’s events!

On view starting this afternoon, November 5th and tomorrow, November 6th from 1 – 6pm.  Print signing event on Saturday, November 7th from 12 – 3pm.  Artist reception Saturday night, from 7 – 11pm.
