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.
Proposals are being accepted for art in and on vacant storefronts along Lancaster Avenue for display from September 30th to November 30th. Think creatively! Proposals will be judged on artistic merit, how they use the space and integrate with the surrounding neighborhood, and how well thought out and practical the project is from concept to installation. This opportunity is open to artists working in any medium. Work that is responsive to the site is of special interest.

Branching describes an organizational system, whether organic or conceptual, where connections occur in self-similar fractal patterns.The work in this exhibition explores the branching metaphor, from trees to capillaries, from maps to networks, to language.
Kate Friedman’s work explores the interface of nature and technology, using digital tools and industrial materials in combination with photography, painting, drawing and collage.

Len Cowgill places his drawings in boxes and bottles and surrounds them with writing and found objects. “My work is about containment. I explore some facet of the human condition in a drawing and box it up or put it in a bottle. I create a stage for the drawings and invite the audience to get close, look at and touch it. It becomes an experience shared, a story that’s been told; perhaps not the story I had in mind.”

Thrilled that this film found its funding we can hear a story that needs to be retold. The battle isn't over.
I don’t think that art comes from art. A lot of artists apparently think so. I think it comes from the awakening person…Everything tends toward awakening, and I would rather use the word awakening than a word derived from some system – because there are many systems.
