Is it a Fiber Show?



Is it a Fiber Show?
a group show..New West Coast Design
January 4-February 16,2008
January 4, 6-8 pm reception for the artists..
Bucheon is pleased to participate in the city wide celebration for the

100th anniversary of CCA and New West Coast Design...Our participation
will be focused on Fiber art but as a fine art gallery, we’re
interested in showing artists that push the material and are intent on
making challenging work..
The show opens Friday January 4, 2008 with a reception for the artists

from 6-8pm and runs through February 16,2008
Artists who sew, paint, and build with non traditional materials  yet
fit into the fiber world. Several artists will create installations
like  Seattle based Mandy Greer who presents elusive interior
narratives using every possible material, including feathers, felt,
cotton and others..San Francisco based artist Rebecca Szeto experiments

with rust and brillo pad and Martha Sue Phillips likes the corners of
space and explores inhabiting these forgotten regions.
Steve MacDonald has discovered sewing and with help of an old sewing
machine has created colorful landscapes, inventive narratives and has
participated in the famous Dietch Parade  in Manhattan with a giant
sewn tank.
There will be colorful and exciting work from west coast artists who
will celebrate New West Coast Design.
Artists invited so far include...
Steve MacDonald, Misako Inaoka, Rebecca Szeto
Mandy Greer, Robin Margerin   Martha Sue Harris
Benjamin Whalen Nanilee Robarge Karen Olsen- Dunn
David Gremard Romero Ray Materson

THREAD, Art Show @ Johansson Projects





Johansson Projects Presents Thread, an Art Show Exploring Raw Materials
and Loomed Refinements From Talking Textiles to 500 Magnified Thread
Spools Suspended from the Ceiling.

Featuring Works by:



Kathryn Spence

Tucker Schwarz

Christy Matson

Steve MacDonald

Devorah Sperber

Katie Lewis

Alex Case

Lia Cook



Opens Thurs, July 19th, 6 to 9, with an Encore for Art Murmur on August 3rd, 5 to 9.



Johansson Projects announces Thread, a survey of sewn, stitched and
woven works whose common thread is the media, not the medium. By
re-exploring the functional avenues of textiles and materials, these
eight artists begin to converse in a neo-craft dialect which diverges
greatly from its domestic and industrial traditions. Pins are
re-invented as figurative joinery, refuse amassed to render owls,
interactive fabric measures changes in electro-magnetic frequencies,
making the outcome from these dexterous hands undeniably rare.



The show draws from the prolific work of eight local and
internationally shown artists. Celebrated New York artist and lecturer,
Devorah Sperber is coming straight from a solo show at the Brooklyn
Museum to the corner of 23rd and Telegraph. She navigates the terrain
between low and high tech, sculpting with hundreds of thread spools to
compose what at first appears to be a colorful abstraction of the raw
material, but when viewed through an acrylic globe is suddenly a
perfectly rendered image, condensed and rotated. Katie Lewis elegantly
documents her physical sensations by pinning tightly gathered then
sprawling red pigmented webs of thread across the gallery walls.
University of California Berkeley alumni Steve MacDonald, just back
from Deitch Art Parade, constructs urban and natural scapes from his
old singer sewing machine on painted gold canvas with crimson thread
embroidery, while Alex Case’s plummeting industrial stitched creations
produce and unproduce themselves. Kathryn Spence, courtesy of Stephen
Wirtz Gallery, is collected by multiple museums including the de Young,
Oakland Museum, and SFMOMA, amasses scrap fabrics from clothing and
disassembled stuffed animals to delicately re-render the distinctive
features of an owl species. Tucker Schwarz, courtesy of Gregory Lind
Gallery, whose work appears in By Hand: The use of craft in
contemporary art, sews evaporative drawings with threads dangling from
her canvas to match her dreamlike recollection of middle class
neighborhoods.



Two artists work from the loom. Lia Cook, collected by the Cleveland
Museum, de Young, The Met, and NYMOMA and her former student, Christy
Matson, who currently lectures at The School of the Art Institute of
Chicago, both utilize Jacquard weaving looms though their kinship
divides from there: Matson’s interactive woven audio cloth relays the
constant human flux of the very space Cook’s pointillist portraiture
hopes to hold in a single woven moment.



Johansson Projects is an art gallery located on 2300 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA (510) 444-9140



Exhibition runs July 19th-Aug 25th.

Open: Thurs-Sun 12-6 and by appointment.

The Swipple Has Landed! at Max Fish


works by affiliates of the Swipple artist collective

Swipple is a collaborative network of artists who exhibit artwork online through the Swipple.com website. The primary motivation behind the Swipple project is simple: to provide a forum and exhibit space for high-quality artwork, in a setting that is broad enough in scope to reflect a wide range of artists and practices, and yet is limited enough to retain a sense of intimacy and cohesion among the artists. Swipple is committed to uncovering and presenting artwork from the vast pool of little known artists plugging away at the periphery of the art-world proper, but exhibits the artwork of emerging and mid-career artists as well. The aesthetic direction is dictated largely by chance, and of course nepotism, and while in that way it parallels the art world, we hope that it does so in its own unique and interesting way. Visitors to the website are not required to have any background in the arts, and are welcome to make their own decisions about what they like. We suggest only that artists be taken as much as possible on their own terms.

Andrea Aimi, Brion Nuda Rosch, Canton Belanger,
Gregg Woolard, Hank Swipple, Jake Klotz, Jason Wright, Jeff Cashvan,
Jim Damron, Jocko Weyland, John Drury, John Hoder, Joseph Nechvatal,

SwipPle, Ill Fitting (27 Sizes) Ann Arbor, MI





Residential College Art Gallery

701 East University Avenue

Ann Arbor, MI



In the upcoming exhibit, Ill Fitting (27 Sizes), Swipple continues its

mission of bringing together a diverse blend of artists who span a

broad cross-section of art-making in the US today. From the highly

trained to the self-taught, from young to old, from art-world insiders

to relative unknowns, Swipple looks first to the artwork, seeking out a

resonance among artists not so much in style but in sensibility.



Here you’ll find photography from widely exhibited New York based

writer/publisher/skater Jocko Weyland next to visionary airplane

designs from Canton Belanger, whose work is rarely seen outside his

attic studio. Work from mail art pioneer and all around madman E.F.

Higgins III will hang next to the wacky conceptualism of San Francisco

based Brion Nuda Rosch. Russian born Chicago artist Julia Kuhl checks

in with her delicate and lovely watercolors, Los Angeles landscapist

David Skinner contributes secret vistas, & Florida born Steve MacDonald

rounds out our geographic claim to the lower 48 with his unbelievable

hand-stitched glitter flecked panoramas. Silvio Barille, fresh from a

recent feature in Raw Vision, has promised to loan us whatever size

concrete sculpture we can lift, and Jim Damron continues to cement his

status as a true American master with his recent oil paintings and

light sculptures.
