Nick van Woert and Nicholas Pittman are bringing New Construction to Fourteen30. Responding to changes in technology and contemporary life through invention rather than reflection, the artists attempt to create a sense of order out of our times through abstract works of relief construction, sculpture, and painting. It's good to see Fourteen30 bringing this space back to participating in First Friday.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • November 7

John Mann

Newspace presents a fairly disparate exhibition of photographs by the top three picks from their 2007 National Juried Exhibition. John Mann's Folded in Place is an exploration of place through the visualization of maps; Alex Emmons presents work informed by her investigation of the intersection of domestic space and the agencies of displacement; and Takako Kido presents images inspired by the peace and natural beauty of Japan's coast.

Opening reception • 7-10pm • November 7
