Support System at Sidebitch LA
A flash of pink in the river of digital content and the name Sidebitch LA caught my eye recently. The name belongs to a new project space hidden among the noodle joints and smoke shops of San Gabriel. I reached out for an appointment to see the current show, Support System, and headed over around dusk last Sunday. Sofie Ramos, met me outside, introduced herself as the woman behind Sidebitch, and led me down the driveway to the open air gallery in the back.
