Over the gallery\u2019s 40-year history he organized its many exhibitions, most notably Amnesia and Super 8, which traveled to institutions in the US, Europe, North and South America, including the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro and the Bronx Museum, NY among others. The gallery was involved in the early development of the careers of artists such as Katharina Grosse, I\u00f1igo Manglano-Ovalle, Ernesto Neto, Fred Tomaselli, and Lisa Yuskavage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He has presided over the Santa Monica\/Venice Art Dealers Association and served on various international institutional boards, panels and juries including the ARCO Art Fair in Madrid, Spain, the Otis College of Art and Design Board of Governors in Los Angeles, the Otis Parsons School of Design, President&#8217;s Advisory Council, Los Angeles, and served as Program Advisor for the Getty for Pacific Standard Time: LA\/LA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Inspired by an interest in architecture and its relationship with art, he began developing a program focusing on integrating the two disciplines by collaborating with artists who incorporate architecture in their work. Following the closing of the gallery in 2018, he launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cgrimes.com\/\">Christopher Grimes Projects<\/a>, a multidisciplinary contemporary art program which focuses on facilitating the integration of art and architecture for large scale, site specific environments. He, alongside his son Jarred Grimes who assists in program development, aims to bring architecturally and culturally informed work to the public sphere bridging the connection between art and architecture through impactful and innovative projects.<\/p>\n<p>The book mentioned in the interview was\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/Zen_Mind_Beginner_s_Mind\/g8GGrFCFS8kC?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover\">Zen Mind, Beginner\u2019s Mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10631\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10631\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10631 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star.jpg?resize=640%2C428&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1367&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=696%2C465&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=1068%2C713&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?resize=629%2C420&amp;ssl=1 629w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/component-assembly-within-the-heart-of-the-star-scaled.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CHRISTINE CORDAY, Sans Titre (untitled), 2020 Permanent installation, Crane Hall, Saint-Paul-Lez-Durance, ITER, France Christine Corday\u2019s two-pound sculptural object, Sans Titre, represents Art as the 36th contributor to mankind\u2019s largest terrestrial realization of the celestial. The site-specific and functional work, which the artist forged from metals derived from ancient stars, was integrated into the ITER fusion device late last year, a physical manifestation of Art that stands alongside the material contributions of the 35 major international country collaborators, an infrastructural object within the fabricated star that will harness fusion energy for human use. Sans Titre functions both symbolically and functionally in merging the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings between Art and Science, an intersection that is frequently overlooked. Both science and art are human attempts to understand and describe the world around us. The categorizations of science, art, chemistry, architecture, archeology, and cosmology separate what materially is unified. The subjects and methods have different traditions, and the intended audiences may be different, but the motivations and goals are fundamentally the same. Image credits: ITER Organization \/ R.

Dusk and Dawn was created for an environment of coexistence and communication\u2014though sound and air are isolated, transparent (glass) walls offer a visual continuity in between distinct spaces. For the TEGNA headquarters designed by the architectural firm Lehman Smith &amp; McLeish (LSM), Koch created a work comprising a thirty foot LED back-lit color gradient lightbox that spans the height of the three-floor atrium. The lightbox establishes a dialogue with the free-flowing curtains installed on the opposing side of the atrium. The curtains, though separated by a floor, represent one continuous vertical color gradient establishing the overall unity of the work which represents the color transitions throughout the course of the day.
