Closing Party, Titus speaks at the SAM

Thanks to everyone that came out for our closing party in celebration of Jeremy Earhart's The Thin Ice of Modern Life last Saturday evening. FREE TIME was the perfect accompaniment to Jeremy's work in the black light ambience!

There was a very cool little article on MetroMix about the night with a slideshow of pictures. If you weren't at Jeremy's studio in Brooklyn beforehand, be sure to look for the plexiglas factory in his basement.

On another note: Video coverage of Titus Kaphar, recent winner of the Gwendolyn Knight and Jacob Lawrence Fellowship at the Seattle Art Museum, speaking about his plans for his upcoming solo exhibit this fall at the SAM.




Works by Simon English's from his solo show at G+R this November have found new homes -- Jemima Puddleduck (along with a few others) will go to the Essl Museum in Vienna, and Mobile or Gob-stopper will be at the Lousiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.

Check out the website of the Lousiana (they just opened the first ever major Max Ernst show to hit Denmark!): http://www.louisiana.dk

iona rozeal brown wins Joyce Award

iona Rozeal Brown has been named an 2009 Joyce Foundation Award winner. The Joyce Foundation, based in Chicago and serving the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit, supports the artistic endeavors of artists of color. Brown (in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland) will receive a $50,000 grant to create a new series of work commissioned by the MOCA and to participate in an on-site artist residency program working with advanced high school arts students from the Cleveland area. The students will work alongside the artist to develop a series of painted wooden screens, while other students film a documentary of Brown to be shown during her 2010 exhibition at the MOCA along with all of her work from the new series.

Check out the slideshow of pictures from the awards ceremony in Chicago (G+R Associate Director Jessica Sain was there!) and short video of iona herself on the Joyce Foundation site.
