Colin will be scavenging scrap wood and found objects, combining them with high tech gizmos and survival gear to create a lighthearted, yet poignant installation referencing stage sets, flea markets, unrealized innovations, and trade work. The installation will focus on creating an environment that invites the viewer to imagine small victories in hostile locations while encouraging reflection of how our own lifestyles contribute to creating these dynamics.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Bio:</span><br />Colin Matthes, based in Milwaukee, WI, works across a range of media including drawing, sculpture, installation, public art, print, and self-publishes the zine Ideas in Pictures. His artwork has been exhibited in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Denmark, Spain, and Austria. Since 2004 he has been an Adjunct Instructor at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Milwaukee, WI. He has previously shown in Portland with the social art group Justseeds Artist Collborative at PSU, Sea Change Gallery, City Club of Portland, and more. In 2010 Matthes will have solo exhibitions at Igloo Gallery, Portland, OR and Ripon College, Ripon, WI and two-person exhibits at 58 Gallery, Jersey City, NJ (with Nicolas Lampert), The New Art Center, Newton, MA, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, and Walkers Point Center for the Arts (with Anthony Smith Jr).<br /><br />www.colinmatthes.com<br />www.justseeds.org<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Please direct questions to Christine Taylor ctaylor3333@gmail.com, or 646-763-4905</span><br />--<br />IGLOO<br />625 NW Everett #102<br />Portland OR 97201<br />503.724.7300bryon schroederhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03853810739185267532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760329949419034960.post-10328350645287858132010-02-18T14:38:00.000-08:002010-02-18T14:42:07.716-08:00WRECKING CRÜE | Opens March 4<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhogEAjOkRPYfV9ggv9Cm9H34uwsc7kjy9s4K3t_Cwd4tQhejPeBXDhOeSwlyiqjxBnyP0q-syntC1vLzI1-31EDolyW3D1cjM6oEruZnyn1XN8qkoQKE4ds5RVlO7ezIIIdItHAwYVsu1o/s1600-h/wreckingcrue.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhogEAjOkRPYfV9ggv9Cm9H34uwsc7kjy9s4K3t_Cwd4tQhejPeBXDhOeSwlyiqjxBnyP0q-syntC1vLzI1-31EDolyW3D1cjM6oEruZnyn1XN8qkoQKE4ds5RVlO7ezIIIdItHAwYVsu1o/s400/wreckingcrue.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439717475516157602" /></a><br />Reception: Thursday, March 4, 6-10pm<br />Open First Saturday 1-5, and appointment<br /><br />In terms of genre, this gathering of artists presents ideas at once related under the umbrella of constructed space, yet provide a variety of challenging perspectives. These artists conspire in a loose category of structural invention, whether found at the foot of a modernist monolith, or in an impossible world flirting with utopian sketchbooks. <span style="font-style:italic;">Wrecking Crüe</span> owes no allegiance to systems or practicality, working in an interstitial state of half-made/half-undone. What these works can do is give our current visual processing a crash course in alternative spatial understanding while questioning how creation takes form in spatial contexts. <br /><br />The works generate ideas that mash-up relationships: hammers and hypershapes, blueprints and Outer Space, insulation and simulation, rendering philosophical material from impulsive architecture. The works vary from subtle to jarring manipulations of space and the objects contained within, breaking our reliance on architecture as a visual support structure for our environment. They propose the built environment as a playground that keeps building, and rebuilding, itself to explore some unknown, perpetual concourse. <br /><br /><br />Artists:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jordan Tull</span> is an established freelance metal fabricator and industrial designer known for his strict geometric installations and physically sophisticated sculpture. His works challenge the understanding of unseen forces that govern visuality, seeking to agitate the structural clarity of objects in space.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Josh Smith</span> is a sculptor and furniture maker in Portland OR. His work explores notions of utopian space in relation to modernist philosophies. His work reinvestigates modernist principles using the language of the architectural model and the illustrated proposal, presenting latent potential of the Idea in flux.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Salvatore Reda</span> lives and works in Portland, OR. His artwork delves into architecture as fantasy, researching the location of the familiar in a synthetic, abstract sense. Detail, beauty and lyrical abstraction are preoccupations of his work. His paintings and video works have been exhibited at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Adamski Gallery of Contemporary Art, Aachen, and Basel Switzerland.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Joshua Pavlacky</span> is a Portland native and a founder and gallery coordinator of Appendix Project Space, an experimental installation site in NE Portland. Inspired by Landscape Urbanism and Infrastructure, his work explores the landscape as a conceptual, perceptual and physical infrastructure capable of seeding the development of urban and ecological systems that are better suited to the ethical and practical concerns of the 21st century. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jeff Jahn</span> is a Portland based curator, critic, installation artist and photographer particularly interested in the conceptual loading and kinesthetic potential of man made spaces.bryon schroederhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03853810739185267532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760329949419034960.post-55354137947330221752010-01-01T19:05:00.000-08:002010-01-27T12:12:07.452-08:00FLOATER Opens January 29<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizb6IDG-PPg34zUuMEbDOfCZZqRdUBHcKymB7p4OzYuf9O7xZd91yUUJoKWXPnbOYpGL2zcA0r-k0wohYt-BJ7fpCghML5GTdYiYPwhbSVT8GBtj7ZKfTAG360Y_OqdisVwG2r7Ljt-uxs/s1600-h/floater.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizb6IDG-PPg34zUuMEbDOfCZZqRdUBHcKymB7p4OzYuf9O7xZd91yUUJoKWXPnbOYpGL2zcA0r-k0wohYt-BJ7fpCghML5GTdYiYPwhbSVT8GBtj7ZKfTAG360Y_OqdisVwG2r7Ljt-uxs/s400/floater.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422979856030401906" /></a><br />"Floater" is a two-person exhibition showing large snap shot portraits by northwest photographer Kelly O and the documentary film ‘Super Noble Brothers’ by Los Angeles/Milwaukee based filmmaker Mark Escribano. Kelly O’s vivid portraits capture scenesters in a variety of compromising, naughty and unapologetic moments. Escribano’s film follows the lives of three brothers, small-time celebrities based in Milwaukee and L.A. who are deeply invested in rare record collecting and art making. Both of these artists document an energetic subculture that live a life of careless freedom.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Kelly O is a photographer and the originator of the infamous ‘Drunk of the Week’, published in Seattle’s weekly newspaper ‘The Stranger,’ where she has worked as assistant art director and most recently with photography and multimedia. Her saturated portraits depict city scenesters in compromising moments that some may regret and others will joke about for a lifetime. Her work has been published in SPIN, VICE, Mojo, Kerrang!, and FADER.<br /><br />Mark Escribano is a Los Angeles based filmmaker. He is a professional photographer and cinematographer for independent films such as ‘Modus Operandi’ and William Shatner's ‘Gonzo Ballet.’ Mark is a recipient of the Peck School of the Arts Mary Nohl Fellowship. His work has been shown at the Dislocation Film Festival in the UK, The Pompidou Museum and both the Milwaukee and Cleveland International Film Festivals. He is also a member of part of 'The White Box Painters' performance troupe. ‘Super Noble Brothers’ will screen this month in Los Angeles as a part of LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions).</span><br /><br /><br />Links:<br /><a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/drunk-of-the-year/Content?oid=3096053">www.thestranger.com/seattle/drunk-of-the-year</a><br /><br /><a href=" http://www.thesupernoblebrothersmovie.com">www.thesupernoblebrothersmovie.com</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Opening: Thursday, February 4, 6-10 pm.</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Artist’s Reception: Friday, January 29, 6-10 pm. </span> <br />Artist Kelly O will be in attendance along with music by DJ Porq.<br /><br />Open First Saturday 1-5.<br />Exhibit is open for viewing by appointment through 02/20.bryon schroederhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03853810739185267532noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760329949419034960.post-76607503560497468432009-11-29T18:52:00.000-08:002009-11-29T18:55:21.240-08:00ART ATTACK from Project Grow | Opens Dec. 3<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjuvAIbKNwOrF3Tc4xwcD7sbMTiPqkIDXNjXgGgs0WZSJb8Ev-IqR_Kh9GKjTATH76h2sdICK9W8qagwvIIHVGiIBTn9vAx16lr_wvF6lXaa-dKd1aKigX1KqoSmdnhA0V8DVlj2_9hno/s1600/Picture+3.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjuvAIbKNwOrF3Tc4xwcD7sbMTiPqkIDXNjXgGgs0WZSJb8Ev-IqR_Kh9GKjTATH76h2sdICK9W8qagwvIIHVGiIBTn9vAx16lr_wvF6lXaa-dKd1aKigX1KqoSmdnhA0V8DVlj2_9hno/s400/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409724427349790786" /></a><br /><br />The exhibition will present a selection of works from the Project Grow studio and a screening of “Project Grow Goes to France,” accompanied by short videos. <br /><br />The artists at Project Grow create a wide range of artwork including works on paper, painting, puppets, collage, zines, text work, and video.

For this exhibition, Barruel investigates a variety of materials in order to reify her experience, and here her voice finds resonance in printed words and embroidered textiles.<br /><br />Conceptual tapestries and text works accompany Barruel's photographs to create "And Now We Do What We Do", a reflection on a half-life of dating, falling, hoping, pining, loving, and obsessing with its fair share of drunken haircuts, romantic inspirations, ridiculously embarrassing behaviors, and hundreds of hours spent wallowing while listening to songs by Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Bill Callahan. The work is both catharsis and hypothesis, a searching for the existence of truth and love in an endlessly fragmented and often lost contemporary youth culture. <br /><br />A native of Grenoble, France, May Juliette Barruel lives and works in Portland, OR.

Framed through the lens of everyday experience, works address ideas of psychological security while testing the utility of various art forms. Working with painting, screen-printing, and textile design, her work proposes visual relief from feelings of anxiety and confusion.<br /><br />Sydney S. Kim’s works on paper are an ephemeral experience, her subtle drawings bordering on the imperceptible. The works present an austere emptiness yet suggest potential for unclouded perception and clarity within a subjective experience.

A form of cannibalism is the ritualistic eating of human flesh by other humans. The person being consumed had power, strength, and skills that are ingested by the cannibal. The individual acquires (or appropriates) the power or symbolic necessity of the other through the process of consumption.<br /><br />This process is similar to how we look at art and digest meaning. It provides a framework or mechanics for understanding a synthesis of appropriative strategies.Cannibalistic art represents the dissolution of categories, it is instead an index of the un-categorical. This process-driven work seeks to critically engage how appropriation and collection function through building on strategies of gleaning, co-optation, and collaboration. For this exhibit we are presenting work that uses cannibalism as a methodological process. The images are cannibalized from multiple sources, from video games, Youtube videos, and the recreation of existing projects of mimicry and play. The attempt is to combine multiple elements in to one body, in essence to merge.<br /><br />The ingestion and regurgitation of culture is a fundamental homogenizing process of creative production and provides the conceptual framework for this show.bryon schroederhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03853810739185267532noreply@blogger.com0
