pa href=”http://www.wvvolumes.com/”Volume Gallery/a, opening its doors for the first time on March 19th, is a new, event-based design gallery with the specific focus of promoting young American design by providing a platform from which to present new work. I caught wind of their first show, a href=”http://hale-id.com/”emJonathan Nesci: THE NEW/em/a, when it was announced earlier this year, and have just received images of selected pieces from the collection, rolled out in preparation for this Friday’s opening. /p

pAbout the collection: blockquoteEach piece in THE NEW is born from Nesci’s observations of the world around us and the banal designs that inform our lives in ways many of us never stop to considermdash;the edge of a curb, the base of a street light, etc./blockquote/p

pThe gallery, founded by Sam Vinz and Claire Warner, will occupy existing spaces, hand-picked to best fit the work of each show. For Nesci’s minimalist body of work, they’ve chosen to take over the a href=”http://www.andrewrafacz.com/”Andrew Rafacz/a Gallery in the West Loop. The location for the next show, with a href=”http://www.fferronedesign.com/fferrone_design_news”Felicia Ferrone/a, is to be determined./p

pAccording to Vinz, the gallery is bringing designers in part to the public, but also to the collector’s market, where emerging designers have very little representation. Here they gain an audience of not only collectors of contemporary and modern design, but also of contemporary art. /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/volume_gallery_supporting_american_design_in_chicago__16184.asp”(more…)/a
