Westgate Lofts is officially the venue for Jim William's major exhibition!
Everyone involved in the book and exhibition project, and especially Jim himself, have been working hard and we are excited to have found such an incredible venue. the beginning of now, an exhibition of Jim's work that will feature a limited edition hand-made book documenting his home that he has constructed (photographed by Tj Nelson, written by Cara Despain, and hand-bound by Mary Toscano), will serve also as a grand gesture: Jim will re-create and stage a part of his home outside of his actual domicile--the place where he has been making and installing his work for twenty-five years. He has shown rarely--in NYC, at Finch Lane, and in GARFO Art Center's first show); this will be his largest and most in-depth exhibition to date, and his (re)introduction to Salt Lake City viewers.
The spot in Westgate is lovely. It's on the ground level, with floor to ceiling windows facing the street, and is a raw cement and brick space that the company is generously letting us use for the show. We are so excited to build it out and transform it into a version of Jim's world! 328 W 200 S.
The openings: June 10: opening reception
June 17: public opening during art walk
