This structure calls upon the artist not only to create an original work, or commission, but also to fully incorporate all of his talents from the conception to the design phase to the execution of the work in the space. The artist is provided with specifications and dimensions prior to submitting a proposal. At the time a proposal is accepted, scale models are created to visualize and plan the fabrication and materials issues. This process creates collaboration between both artist and the gallery but also between the work and the space. With the fabrication being the final stage, the artist has already been exposed to his own creative experience in seeing the project to its fruition. This energy and spirit comes through the work to the viewer, which is one part of our emphasis on viewer experience. Another part is that in essence, all of our exhibitions become installation based in concept or site specific/contextual in nature. By using the Carbon 14 gallery space as a framework for the generative stages of the artists’ conception, we are fully utilizing the gallery environment in the work itself. This creates for the viewer not only an art piece to be appreciated, but also an environment to be experienced. This heightened level of experience is the integral element of Carbon14 that will distance it from other exhibition venues.UNIQUE SYSTEM/PRODUCTION Carbon14 sets itself apart from other galleries in a variety of ways. One is that we focus on all media disciplines. Another way is through our unique exhibition system of creating an original exhibition for each show Our focus is rather on the on the artist and his artistic production and the level of competence that a particular artist has achieved. We seek to provide a venue for the artist to truly express him or herself. Carbon 14 seeks to coordinate the means for these works to materialize but also the essential elements of any good production, from budgeting to project management to public relations and event coordination to professional documentation and archiving and finally, sales. Carbon 14 will not only inspire the artist but the audience as well. This creates a receptive dialogue between artist and viewer in which the exchange becomes an integral function of the work.CREATIVE COLLECTIVE Carbon14 distinguishes itself from other exhibition venues in that we have a progressive marketing strategy for our gallery. By incorporating, music, film, architecture, design and fashion, we are creating an in house venue for other industries to get exposure. This forum we provide will connect us as well as our clients to the existing aesthetic network. The uniting of these talents in one place is what we call a creative collective. We will define our reputation and elevate the client experience to be a complete and sophisticated one. Through our marketing strategies of promotion, integration and co marketing, we will establish a market niche for our gallery that positions us ahead of other exhibition venues.
