The Giant Robot 2 (GR2) remodel happening at the beginning of January will transform the location into a larger gallery, creating MORE wall space and utilizing all of the existing walls. We’re shrinking the retail capacity of GR2 and focusing in on the art that we’ve loved sharing with the world there! We’ll begin with a large print show, “Printed Matter 10″ as we’ve done in the past at GR2, GRNY and GRSF. We’ve had numerous installments of of “Printed Matter” and this is the 10th. Participants include:

Apak!, Chris Bettig, Jude Buffum, Burlesque Printing, Louise Chen, Shawn Cheng, David Choe, James Chong, Dutch Door Press, ENFU, Ines Estrada, Jesse Fillingham, Hilary Florido, Matt Furie, Gabe Gonzales, Kio Griffith, Seonna Hong, Kerry Horvath, Michael & Pearl Hsiung, Martin Hsu, Mari Inukai, Jeremyville, Kaori Kasai, kozyndan, Jesse LeDoux, Little Friends of Printmaking, Bradford Lynn, Dan McCarthy, Gary Musgrave, Masato Nakada, Saelee Oh, Martin Ontiveros, Panorama Press, Sidney Pink, Albert Reyes, Jay Ryan, Jessica Seamans, Ryan Jacob Smith, Dave Stolte, Diana Sudyka, Deth P.

GIANT ROBOT 2 – PRINTED MATTER 10 – THE DRY RUN

Those who frequent GR2, noticed a huge difference, those who don’t, just walked in as if this is how it’s always been. It took a little over a week and the new GR2 is done. This isn’t the grand re-opening, we’re saving that for after the tweaks and so forth.
