exhibition in LA
Two of my single-channel videos, Soft Velvet Float and Vertical Blinds (2), will be featured in a group exhibition at Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition, titled Short Film Series 1, is curated by Anne Alvergue and includes work by eight video artists from around the country. It opens July 10 and runs through August 20.
Totem (1) at Byron Cohen Gallery
One of my recent pieces, the three-channel Totem (1), is currently installed in the back gallery room of Byron Cohen Gallery in Kansas City where it will most likely be on view for the rest of the year. If you missed seeing it during my SpaceRockSpasm exhibit at Review Studios, drop by the gallery sometime.
ANIMALIA at LAC
ANIMALIA, a group exhibition centered around depictions of animals, opened last Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center. The exhibition includes my single-channel video Treebeasties (1) as well as work from friend and fellow Review Studios resident artist Davin Watne and 7 other regional artists. The exhibition runs through July 10.
SpaceRockSpasm closed
SpaceRockSpasm finally came down yesterday at Review Studios. It only took my assistant Adam and I an hour and a half to take down all of the equipment. However, we still have a dozen holes that need to patched before the gallery is repainted.
All in all, it was a very successful show with a great review in the KC Star and a surprising number of sales.
Pigeon in the Everson Museum collection
I got the official announcement yesterday that Pigeon has been accepted into the collection of the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY. The news came from the museum’s curator Debora Ryan who had organized an exhibition of the piece last year during my Intermissions project in the city.
Totem (1) in St. Louis
I found out yesterday that one of my newest pieces, the three-channel Totem (1), will be shown at the Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis in September. It will be shown along with paintings by one of my closest friends, Kelley Johnson.
Cara and Cabezas at NEXT
The NEXT exhibition/art fair closes tomorrow in Chicago. To the left is an image from the Cara and Cabezas Contemporary booth, which includes my video piece Starchild, as well as drawings by Anne Austin Pearce. The news out of Chicago is that the fairs have been well attended but sales are very slow this year, which isn’t too surprising.
Starchild featured on Light Work blog
Starchild and my participation in NEXT 2010 in Chicago are mentioned on the Light Work blog. Light Work is also participating in NEXT this year, where they will be showcasing their collectors prints as well as their Contact Sheet journal (including my issue from last year).
KC in Chicago
The Kansas City Star published a small article yesterday on various KC connections to the upcoming Art Chicago event. Titled “KC Art Community Sets Up in Chicago” and written by the paper’s main art critic Alice Thorson, the article highlights Cara and Cabezas Contemporary’s booth at the NEXT 2010 art fair. As mentioned in earlier posts, my new two-channel video Starchild will be showing at their booth during the fair. The article also featured an image of a drawing by fellow KC artist and friend Anne Austin Pearce.
Starchild showing at NEXT Chicago
One of my newest pieces, the two-channel video Starchild, will be shown next week at NEXT 2010 in Chicago, represented by Cara and Cabezas Contemporary. The fair runs April 30-May 3 at the Chicago Merchandise Mart.
