C for Courtside is a new 2600 sq. ft. artist-run curatorial space in Knoxville, TN nestled beneath the Second Creek overpass on Cooper St. (located just a few blocks from A Dopo Sourdough Pizza, Remedy Coffee and Crafty Bastard Brewing). The launch of the space has been made possible in part by the generous support of an Ann and Steve Bailey Opportunity Grant.
The inaugural show features the work of the four founding members (Lynne Ghenov, Joshua Bienko, John Powers and Rubens Ghenov), as well as work from four artists specifically selected by the C for Courtside Directors (feat. Kim Faler, Eleanor Ray, Melissa McGrath, and Claudia Peña Salinas). Mirroring the space itself, the show titled A Half Note Familiar seeks to consider work from inside and outside of the region in a way that contributes to and influences broader contemporary dialogues.
