Jul. 2 - Aug. 27, 2010 AVA Gallery, 30 Frazier Avenue
Gallery Hours: Tues-Fri, 11 am-5 pm
Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Lump combines the rigor and
professionalism of a commercial gallery with the experimental attitude
of an alternative space. Dedicated to the promotion of emerging,
mid-career and under-recognized artists, Lump is committed to the
exhibition of challenging and thought-provoking contemporary art that
falls outside the confines of the commodity-driven art market and
conducts itself without commercial compromise. Team Lump, an
ever-evolving collective of artists, works organically to adapt to each
new exhibition space, combining paintings, drawings, sculpture, wall
drawings, and video to create installations laden with biting
commentary.
