experience – educate – inspire
The collaborative minds of Claudia Endler, Renwick Oden with Carl Smith and Melynda Eccles, of Telemachus Studio, form the inspiration and vision of Cero Space. “Cero”, the Spanish word for “zero”, suggests that it is the blank slate which exhibits a variety of visual mediums with an emphasis on contemporary art, architecture and design. Cero is a forum of visual experience, an exchange of ideas and education through featured speakers, cultural events and networking opportunities. Cero Space hopes to contributes to and impact the cultural identity of Los Angeles and its growing multi-faceted artistic landscape.
Cero Space Gallery together with Claudia Endler Designs Studio occupy part of the 1904 Edison Electric Company No. 3 Plant which was the largest of Edison’s steam plants at that time. This brick-and-reinforced concrete building was designed by John Parkinson, who also designed other historical buildings in Los Angeles among them the Los Angeles Athletic Club. The building was later absorbed into the property of the Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery.
The building is now part of the Brewery Arts Complex which was bought and converted into artist studios in the 1980’s. Telemachus Studio designed the interior of Cero Space and Claudia Endler Design studio with contemporary clean urban design complimenting and contrasting the historical industrial space. Many of the features and existing beams are incorporated into the design paying homage to the past.
Have an infinitely modern day!
