Artist Talks & Auction this weekend!

Hi!
As we go into the end of the year and count all the stuff we're supposed to, I just wanted to say....thankfully this has been a very busy year in the studio. Below are 3 opportunities to check out the some of the results of all the hard work.

Sparkplug, the artist collective I belong to has a show up right now at DC Arts Center; our incredibly awesome sponsoring non-profit gallery and theatre, who I am eternally thankful to for such a great idea of sponsoring a collective in the first place! We will be discussing our new work and how working with a group of artists and curators influences our studio practices this coming Sunday.

Hickok Cole Art Night

I have to say that Hickok Cole and the Washington Project for the Arts crew (Lisa, Kristina, Adam and all) and Brooke (awesome curator extraordinaire) threw a great party last night with serious impact. It was a great event for the WPA and DC artists. As one of the featured artists, I truly thank you for the opportunity! Another great artist featured last night, Christian Tribastone agrees!

Fluidity

My solo show came down this evening. I want to thank all those that took the trek and went and saw it. I especially want to thank my friends Cory, Megan, and Brad for helping me pack it all up this evening and getting it back to the studio.

So what's next:

Sparkplug presents: Findings opened on Friday to a great crowd. It will be up at DCAC for the next month.

FINDINGS

October 16 - November 15
Opening Reception: October 16, 7-9pm
Featuring work by Deborah Carroll Anzinger, Peter Gordon, Michael Matason, Lisa McCarty, Kathryn McDonnell, Karen Joan Topping and Jenny Walton

Curated by Lea-Ann Bigelow and Blair Murphy

DCAC's resident collective considers the artistic process as a mode of inquiry, a domain characterized by sustained research and vigorous experimentation, yet focused less on the production of definitive answers than on the discovery and negotiation of contradictory truths. While the exhibition demonstrates the diverse concerns and creative tactics of the nine Sparkplug members, it also reflects the purposeful development of Sparkplug as a collective over the group's first two years of working together.

Positing art as an ideal vehicle for navigating seemingly irreconcilable ideas and inspirations, and raising questions about the nature of new knowledge and the Artist's Work, FINDINGS brings themes cultivated during collective meetings and studio visits into the gallery space. In this way, the audience is invited to engage in active conversation with individual artists, and with Sparkplug as an organic and multifarious whole.

About Sparkplug
Currently composed of nine DC area artists and curators, the Sparkplug collective meets regularly to discuss their work, explore common concerns, grow their community and dream up creative engagements both in DC and around the world. Through its support of Sparkplug, DC Arts Center provides meeting space, legal and technical resources and exhibition opportunities to emerging artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ. Via a continuing dialogue encompassing the theoretical and the practical, the group's members share experiences, perspectives, preoccupations, challenges, and topics informing their ongoing artistic practice.

Lately, ink has been on my mind. This is a small example of that. The following drawings have been done in my studio in the last week.

ink on Yupo

Ink on paper

ink and watercolor on Yupo

Shows, shows, and great luck!

Hello!
I hope you are doing well!

Just a quick update on life from the studio, as it's still going pretty strong. I recently received great press for my solo show, Fluidity. You can check it out here -> No pain, no gain: Artist was inspired by illness. The show ends October 19th, catch it before its gone!

I will have several group shows coming up in October/November in the DC area as well. See in info below.

Opening Reception: Friday, June 19, 6 – 9 pm

Artists Talk: Wednesday, July 22, 7 – 9 pm


DC Arts Center’s resident arts collective Sparkplug is, at present, a spirited gathering of ten artists and curators who meet twice a month to discuss their work, explore the arts in the nation’s capital, grow their community, and dream up creative engagements in DC and around the globe. In the context of this closely-focused show, Sparkplug’s mission will be to testify to its own mutable now: the now of its production, the now of its collective exchanges, the now of individual stances outside of the collective, the now that will inevitably be then soon. For a collective whose very existence is based on a charter of becoming, of sharing, of transitions, of emergence, of change…the privileging of a specific Sparkplug moment presents a persistent (albeit purposeful) challenge.


Curated by Lea-Ann Bigelow and Blair Murphy, the show will highlight painting, drawing, video, photography, and mixtures thereof by:

Deborah Carroll-Anzinger, Peter Gordon, Lisa McCarty, Kathryn McDonnell, Michael Matason, Mark Planisek, Karen Joan Topping and Jenny Walton.

Upcoming Exhibitions at The Phillips Collection

I can't say how much I'm excited about this exhibition being right next door to work! I think most of my lunch hours will be spent here.

Upcoming Exhibitions at the Phillips Collection: "Paint Made Flesh"
June 20-September 13, 2009
Through about 40 paintings created since the 1950s, Paint Made Flesh reveals a wide range of artistic responses to both the sensual properties and metaphorical significance of human flesh—and the ways in which artists continue to use traditional methods and the human figure to explore the human experience. Works in the exhibition are by 32 internationally renowned modern artists, including Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Alice Neel, Philip Guston, Julian Schnabel, and Lucian Freud. Paint Made Flesh is organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, Tennessee."

The Art Registry

This promises to be a great show of talent!

Please act now. Senate Cuts Arts From Economic Stimulus Bill

All

Please take a few moments to read this important information and write your representatives.

There are approximately 100,000 nonprofit arts organizations, which spend $63.1 billion annually. Without an economic stimulus for the nonprofit arts industry, experts expect about 10% of these organizations (ranging from large arts institutions like museums and orchestras to small community-based organizations in suburban, urban and rural areas) to shut their doors in 2009 – a loss of 260,000 jobs.

According to the Americans for the Arts, a $50 million investment to the National Endowment for the Arts will provide critical funding to save 14,422 jobs from being lost in the U.S. economy. This is based on the ability of the NEA to leverage $7 in additional support through local, state and private donations, for every $1 in NEA support.

To write your representative, please click HERE. Also of note personalizing each letter more than 50% will get them read.

January update

I hope 2009 is treating you well!

My work will be shown in the Washington Project for the Arts Auction and Show as well as the AU Arts Management MFA auction. Both open Saturday, January 31 at the Katzen Art Museum. The MFA auction is for one night only.

I will also be starting my Keyholder Residency at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center on February 1, so look for new work soon!
