Caroline Furr: Floating World

exhibition

October 1 – November 6, 2010

Artist Reception
Saturday October 23, 2010
5 - 7:30 pm

nothing obtrusive — nothing obscure

Caroline Furr intentionally moves quietly, thoughtfully, through space and her artwork does the same. An intimate reflection, the works are mindful places past and present age unknown.

Her solo exhibition fills the gallery as a temporal space — time floating gently to and fro. Layered yet revealing these tonal dances express themselves as a Floating World.

Upcoming show Find Way with artist Peter Fraterdeus

Peter Fraterdeus has over 30 years of experience with calligraphy and letter design, including two National Endowment for the Arts grants to study calligraphy, letter carving and type design in Europe and the UK. He was introduced to letterpress printing in the mid 1960s when he first learned to print at Nichols Junior High in Evanston. He never imagined he would end up forty years later with a warehouse full of beautiful old presses, and printing on some of the very finest paper made on the planet.

Upcoming show : Find Way with artist William Paul Gaetjens

William Paul Gaetjens was born in Long Beach, CA, in 1946, to a family with a long tradition of working in metal. An early interest in art led to a creative mastery of the medium, with studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts and The DeYoung Museum School. In the 1970's, he worked as an iron worker on the Alaskan Pipeline. This real world experience influences his art today.

new design release : stone with featured artist Jaume Pinya

Heavybubble has released a new design called stone.

The new design includes a text option on the gallery opener. Artist Jaume Pinya of Majorca, Spain uses it to provide an description in both Catalan and English. The gallery view uses a smaller view of an entire art work. Each gallery screen contains only four images/works and includes links to the next and previous four images. The design centers in browser window.

Mr Pinya cleverly used a gallery opener to create a statement screen that included two photos.

Here’s a vid made last year by David Kessler featuring Ann Koivunen. This is why we’re community partners. http://www.philaopenstudios.com/
