Burbank Secret Art Show - Call for Entries

9/3/2014

It's (almost) that time again... the Burbank Arts for All foundation
is calling for donations to their second annual "Secret Art Show".

Here is what I donated last year:

It was set of 4" x 6" postcards of scenes around town
that could be viewed individually, or in combination as shown above.
Happy to say all 4 pieces were sold!

Now I just need to come up with something different for this year...

2nd Saturday Reception at Axis Gallery

8/14/2014

Well, I did it... drove up to Sacramento last weekend for the artist's reception of the 9th National Juried Exhibition at the Axis Gallery
and it was worth the trip. Really good show with lots of diverse artists and media represented. I was able to chat with juror Jenny Gheith
of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)
and also meet a number of the artists who were in attendance,
including Scott D. Norris, whose work I am particularly drawn to.

My piece "Softly at Sunset" can be seen
just to the left of the door as you enter the gallery.

Axis member and artist Justin Marsh introduces juror Jenny Gheith.

Show runs through Sunday, August 24 if you're in the area,
and the Crocker Art Museum is just a few blocks away,
so you could make a day of it gallery-hopping...

Acknowledging the Artists

I went to the final day of the Mike Kelley retrospective at the Geffen
this week and came away with a reinforced philosophy about
the subjectivity of art, summed up as:
"I may not know much about art, but I know what I like".

A cliched oversimplification to be sure, but based in truth...
As individuals, we bring our unique perspective to everything we see,
and that becomes our reality for framing a decision about whether
something is "art" or not. Take a look at these side by side images...

Why is one considered fine art and the other not?
Conceptually I understand the distinction, but emotionally I formed
a deeper attachment to Grandma Prisbrey's lifelong work
than to Kelley's made-to-be-exhibited creations.

Bottom line is, we will always have to decide for ourselves.

and then you can ponder the validity of each...

My photo "Softly at Sunset" has been accepted into the 9th National Exhibition at the Axis Gallery in Sacramento. Of over 350 artists submitting work, 58 pieces were chosen by juror Jenny Gheith, the assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

The show runs from August 2 - 24 and I'm hoping to make the drive up for the second Saturday reception on August 9. I'll be sure to reserve a catalog, especially if I can't be there in person...

As I See It...

I spend a lot of time on the road and always have a camera with me - hoping to be ready when a serendipitous moment presents itself.

Here you will find some of the day to day things that may influence my art, news about projects I'm currently working on, as well as occasional musings on art, life and random visual non-sequiturs.
