One of the world’s leading talent and entertainment companies, United Talent Agency is transforming a former warehouse into 4,000 square foot space in Beverly Hills, that will provide a new outpost for exhibitions and programming opportunities. 

The UTA Artist Space, redesigned with Ai Weiwei, will open in July 2018 with inaugural group exhibition One Shot, featuring works by selected Color Field painters, that embraced the simplicity of the optical response to color. Works by Morris Louis, Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland, Sam Gilliam, and Jules Olitski, among others will be on view. 

This October, the Space will also host a first LA gallery exhibition of Ai Weiwei, who first began working with the talent agency during the development of his acclaimed documentary Human Flow. The artist is helping to execute an exclusive design concept for the new UTA Artist Space.

作为全球领先的人才和娱乐公司之一，UTA正在将位于比佛利山庄的一个仓库改造成4,000平方英尺的空间，这将为展览和规划提供一个新的据点。
 
由Ai Weiwei重新设计的UTA Artist Space，将于2018年7月开幕，首届展One Shot将展出选出的Color Field画家的包含对色彩的光学反应的简单性的特色作品。Morris Louis、Helen Frankenthaler、 Kenneth Noland,、Sam Gilliam以及Jules Olitski等人的作品将会被展出。
 
今年10月，该艺术据点还将举办Ai Weiwei的第一次洛杉矶画廊展览，Ai Weiwei在他备受赞誉的纪录Human Flow的制作过程中，首次与该人才机构合作。这位艺术家正在帮助新的UTA Artist Space实行独家设计理念。
