Charlie James Gallery is pleased to present a group show curated by Los Angeles-based artist Kristopher Raos titled There is No Outside, opening June 4th at the gallery from 6-9pm. This show will feature works by Gozie Ojini, Jackie Castillo, Lenard Smith, Pablo Estrada, Sarita Schreiber, and Seth Kaufman.

 There is No Outside is a group exhibition of works by 6 artists working and living in Los Angeles that responds to the space between entering the "domestic" living space and the front sidewalk, with depictions of forced cultural references that reveal artifacts left scattered and not in use or functional.

There is No Outside borrows its title from Jackie Castillo's site-specific installation piece. The installation sets the tone for the works and artists that would follow. The exhibition will employ a broad range of approaches to photography and 3-dimensional works, that will be wall-based, divide/cut through the space, and sculptures that both pulls you to the floor from either direction to demand the viewer's attention and others that sit timidly but alert.
