artLIFE at heavybubble

Welcome to artlife where we post a curated selection of events, exhibitions, workshops, and doings by heavybubble and artists that use our services. Check out the  artist opportunities and events that catch our eye.

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

We will only be free as photographers when we share the freedom that painting has. We must see the world in a more personal way, more condensed. Interpret life, not record it.

And if not now when by SarahBloom
exhibition
September 3 September 30, 2011

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.

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.

One Part Plaster New Mixed-Media Sculpture August 31 – October 2, 2011   You wouldn’t even know this work was in the gallery from the street. A big surprise in small packages can be found in the back half of 3rd Street Gallery. Seemingly scattered the hidden gems are earthy hold-in-the-palms-of-your-hand sized sculptures. We love the simple stacked forms and an occasional foreign object attached to the stone, wood, or one part plaster. The work is delightful you’ll want to take at least one home with you.
