Gravity Art Space (GAS) is a space for contemporary art founded by artist
Indy Paredes in 2021. It is situated along Mother Ignacia Avenue in
Quezon City, a city that is home to a dynamic community of artists, art workers, and art supporters. The word “gravity” in the space’s name speaks to the weight it grants to artistic process and how this is grounded by the collaborative relationships between the space, artists, curators, and its public. Just like the force of gravity, while these aspects of exhibition-making and programming are not always remarked, they are always part of
GAS’s consideration and what makes the space’s existence possible and its programs worthwhile. Working with a network of co-artists and colleagues of this generation, Gravity Art Space aims to become a collaborative space for companions and contemporaries and a hub for productive discussions, exhibitions, and discoveries in art. A+ Works of Art is a contemporary art gallery based in Kuala Lumpur, with a geographic focus on Malaysia and
Southeast Asia. Founded in 2017 by Joshua Lim, the gallery presents a wide range of contemporary practices, from painting to performance, drawing, sculpture, new media art, photography, video and installation.
Its exhibitions have showcased diverse themes and approaches, including material experimentation and global conversations on social issues. Collaboration is key to the ethos of A+ Works of Art. Since its opening, the gallery has worked with artists, curators, writers, collectors, galleries and partners from within the region and beyond, and continues to look out for new collaborations. The gallery name is a play on striving for distinction but also on the idea that art is never without context and is always reaching to connect— it is always “plus” something else.
