Consider the connection/disconnection between memory and discarded artifacts of communication. If old letters, photographs, or videos are connected to past events in our lives — what happens when they are discarded or lost? Hoffman uses obsessive or meditative actions to explore how we classify, organize, and recall the contexts and memories attached to these orphaned objects.
This exhibition comprises three works of conceptual and performance art: Slideshow, Talent Show, and Dear Mad, I really like your hair today! Love, Johnny

Totally Exposed is a photographic exhibition of work by emerging artist Sarah R. Bloom.
Bloom’s work is revealing, challenging, and disarming. As the setting for her nude self-portraiture, Bloom has chosen some of the most dramatic elements of America’s decaying industrial landscape — from abandoned mental asylums and churches to the wasteland of Detroit’s once thriving automobile factories. Her work is raw and often brave. The depth of her images reveals genuine beauty in the aesthetics of decay.
Exhibition Dates: December 1 – 30, 2011
Reception: December 8th, 6-8pm
Out of Context Skye Gilkerson & Sarah Steinwachs We found a wonderfully curated show at Grizzly Grizzly. You’ve only a few more days to see it. The works of artists Skye Gilkerson and Sarah Steinwachs compliment each other in scale and in craft. Both artists embrace the absence of mass in delightfully different ways. Skye Gilkerson’s removes typography from it’s literary place, out of context, to create discrete marks that dance across space. Sarah Steinwachs adds mass to empty space with layer after layer of cut out nets.
