The Spiral
Established in 2023 by Emery Gluck, The Spiral is a series of interdisciplinary installations exploring the phenomena of spiraling. It exists as a secret art space in Los Angeles and abroad.

Conversations with the viewers at The Spiral no. 1 formulate the themes for The Spiral no. 2, and the chain continues. The series takes the shape of a spiral, as does each individual exhibition. Everything connects.
The Spiral began with a curiosity of what unravels inside a spiral and what a shift in perspective of the typically “negative” experience of spiraling can offer. This project is an invitation for the viewer to tilt their gaze, re-imagine the direction of a spiral, and become curious about what embracing time inside of it can reveal. The artwork inside The Spiral installations is designed to encourage a slower type of looking than one’s inclination might be. The work prompts the viewer to spend time in The Spiral and to see themselves in the art.
WHY SECRET?
The Spiral believes in some lack of transparency, and secret art holds an enchanting power. When emphasis shifts from access to desire (those who seek to find the art can and will), the dynamic of the art-space shifts from one of expected hierarchical power codes to a less lucid, more nuanced, spiraling space. This is where we want to look at art.To view the details of an installation, click its corresponding image.
