FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEATTLE, WA –

LeDouxville is excited to announce the opening of LeDouxville Space -- a 1500 square foot gallery and retail storefront space in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. Consisting of two adjoining rooms, the space features the work of Jesse LeDoux and his collaborators, creating a unique setting for art exhibitions, installations, performances, and limited edition releases. The front room features a dedicated installation/exhibition space while the back room incorporates a shop/retail space. LeDouxville Space opened October 20, 2011 and will run until January 5, 2012.

LeDouxville Space is located at 604 2nd Avenue, Seattle WA. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday from Noon to 6pm or by appointment.

The front room of LeDouxville Space will feature two collaborative exhibitions featuring four Seattle-based artists:

October - November: ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS: Jesse LeDoux’s recent work, with formal geometric shapes and overlaid organic line work, explores the cyclical nature of life. This show will feature over 200 new drawings and sculptural pieces. View and purchase available work here.

November - December: MIDDLE FOOTPRINT: Robert Hardgrave and Jesse LeDoux collaborate on a body of work the unexpected when Hardgrave’s fluid, unpredictable paintings meet LeDoux’s whimsical geometric drawings to create site-specific collaborative pieces. The goal with this work was to push past their individual styles in an attempt to surprise themselves with something unique. The end result arrives at a place that contains elements of both of their work, yet looks like neither. View and purchase available work here.

The Grand Opening was October 20, 6 - 10pm
