Keep your eyes peeled on your way into the galleries...
SECCA is proud to host Gutter Box at the Main Gallery entrance. Gutter Box is a sculptural object and contemporary art gallery conceived and built by artist Louis Watts and made from a retrofitted newspaper distribution box donated by Indy Week. It is a blank space, a void paused in the center of daily activity. It is a chamber of potential between the space, artists, and audience. It once was used to disseminate information via newspaper but has been repurposed as an unexpected white cube gallery space.
Originally the box lived outside of Lump, an artist-run gallery in Raleigh, NC. The project now lives in front of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) in Winston-Salem, NC. Gutter Box offers artists of all disciplines, interests, and locations an opportunity to bend their ideas into this funky little white box. It also provides the passer-by with a brief and surprising encounter with a contemporary gallery space.
