intersecting viewpoints, a convergence of imagery
saturday august 29th, 2009 from 7-11 PM


This is a multi-media multi-artist event with imagery ranging from the cinematic to the sublime. Though each artist has their own starting point, the images in this exhibition converge to inform the view of life processed through our continual shift in perception. Each captured moment reveals a new immediacy.

SIZable was a huge success

The opening on July 18th was great for the show Christina put together. The worked looked perfect in the space and the viewers seemed to appreciated it. Here is a slide show of the installation. Hopefully you can make it out to the next exhibit if you missed this one.

life in the vast lane

Times are rough when it comes to art sales. But the prospect of running a gallery at anytime is a bizarre endeavor. Why would someone want to do that? I understand if you happen to be sorta wealthy or can afford to even buy the art you sell (that would be a "no", and another "no" for me). But why else? There are all the political networking, contact making and social climbing aspects that some may find attractive but I could give a shit about that. So why run a gallery?

I have no idea really. Maybe there just isn't anything else I am qualified for. I read pretty well, make a good pizza, am pretty good on road trips and so on. But it seems that my facinating resume of various useless skills are not attractive to employers. At least not after they meet me. I actually get a pretty high percentage of interviews when I forward my resume and a really low percentage of offers. Maybe it is the fact that I won't be challenged by the fascinating details of the task at hand, or intellectually fulfilled or just generally have an attitude, none of which I can really argue with.

So, until further notice fluxco is happening. A couple more shows are shaping up, one for May 30th, the other for June 12th. More updates will follow as I uncover the facts. And for all you curators out there, forward me a proposal for a group show if you are interested in art for art's sake.
