"Here's a rarity — a tiny, specialized gallery with a very wide reach." — ARTnews

"Favorite Art Blog" — artkrush.com

"Our neighborhood's own advocates of minimalism." —The Brooklyn Rail

MINUS SPACE is a curatorial project based in Brooklyn, New York, presenting innovative reductive art* by international artists working in all media. MINUS SPACE is about art, ideas, and community.

MINUS SPACE presents four exhibitions annually in its Brooklyn project space, as well as curatorial projects in other venues nationally and internationally. MINUS SPACE publishes an online log profiling reductive art on the international level.  MINUS SPACE also provides a directory of collaborating artists, a comprehensive chronology of events concerning the development of reductive art on the international level, and a comprehensive directory of links to related web sites.

MINUS SPACE was founded in 2003 by artists Matthew Deleget and Rossana Martinez.

*Reductive art is generally characterized by its use of plainspoken materials, monochromatic or limited color, geometry and pattern, repetition and seriality, precise craftsmanship, and intellectual rigor.
