“A lot of transplanted New Yorkers are impressed by the sheer geographical expansiveness of LA — a city in which, from most vantage points, the entire expanse of sky is visible from horizon to horizon, and neighborhoods are up to 20 miles apart — and independent curator Andrea Neustein is no exception. Her gigantic pop-up in the culture-rich but occasionally underappreciated Atwater neighborhood is set to present an ambitious group show bringing together not only visual artists and curatorial efforts of both coastal persuasions, but also artists working in a variety of media, including museum-rockers Lucky Dragons, and a special adjoining "pavilion" organized by NYC's Super/Prime.”

AT1 Projects says:
VOLUME is an experimental and expansive exhibition featuring a wide spectrum of LA and NY-based contemporary artists of diverse media — painting, sculpture, site-specific and multi-media installation, performance, sound art, and video — whose collective bios boast prestigious bi-coastal, national and international exhibitions, including at the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the New Museum New York, Performa, Deitch Projects, and documenta.
Contained within AT1 Projects, a 12,500 square-foot alternative venue, VOLUME takes advantage of space en masse; each artist will independently create, fill, employ, dissect, reconsider, and/or theoretically deconstruct the far-flung spaces within the massive warehouse locale. Rounding out VOLUME's audible dimension, solo and interactive sound and music performances will inhabit the venue on opening night.
As if 12,500 square-feet were not enough, New York-based curatorial collective Super/Prime will occupy the adjacent Super/Prime PAVILION. Inspired by the sprawling spaciousness of LA's landscape as springboard and welcome respite from NY's intensely condensed atmosphere, VOLUME's New York-based curator, Andrea Neustein, unites East and West coast artists for this ambitious investigation of sound and space.
