Pink Noise: Paul So

philippa — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:07:52 +0000

Paul So is the founder and director of Hamiltonian Gallery. He will be one of the speakers on the (e)merge panel at Conner Contemporary (1358 Florida Avenue, NE) this Saturday at 4pm. They'll be talking about emerging artists building community. The panel will be followed by a party sponsored by Marvin. Come on by The Temporium after that for vintage clothes by Uesa Goods.

Panelists:

Pink Noise: Zoë Charlton

philippa — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:25:30 +0000

Zoë Charlton, visual artist and American University art professor, will be one of the speakers on the (e)merge panel at Conner Contemporary this Saturday, July 31, at 4 PM. They'll be discussing how artists build community.

Zoë and I had an awesome conversation over breakfast recently about what it means to be an emerging artist and what it means to "succeed" as an artist. This video is a tiny excerpt. Come to the panel to hear more from this inspiring artist and teacher.

Art Collecting 101: Size Matters

philippa — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:07:37 +0000

I recently purchased the above-pictured piece of art from Conner Contemporary Gallery's annual Academy Show, a survey of the region's best BFA and MFA graduates. I was out of town the week before the show opened when I received an image of this piece. It really grabbed me so I agreed to buy it almost right away. (How impetuous!) After I returned home, I went over to the gallery to see the piece in real life and realized immediately that it might be too tall for my place! Eek!

Pink Noise: "Artists aren't healthy"

philippa — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:35:02 +0000

Damian Elias is another one of the panelists on the (e)merge panel hosted by Conner Contemporary Gallery on July 31 at 4pm. The panel will explore issues facing artists in DC in developing their careers and building community. Dr. Elias says, "Artists aren't as healthy mentally or physically than the general population."

The panelists will include:

Blue Crush: a summer celebration to crush colon cancer

The Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation, in partnership with The Pink Line Project

Chuck Close: "Inspiration is for Amateurs."

philippa — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 01:00:15 +0000

Chuck Close is amazing. I've enjoyed his work in the past but I realize now that I never really understood or appreciated the complexity and difficulty of printmaking until now. The images he creates are beautiful. No doubt about it. But it bowled me over to see this exhibit and learn what it takes to make the work.

(e)merge: building community in the DC art scene

philippa — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:19:09 +0000

Pink Line Project is really excited to support a panel discussion hosted by Conner Contemporary that will focus on a topic that is very important to us: building community among emerging artists. The panelists will include:

Meet Arty

philippa — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:01:22 +0000

Did you know that a new cultural center will open in the former Newseum in Rosslyn this fall? It's going to be a pretty incredible art space that features:

Salon Contra: A reading of the screenplay for a short film called "The Anniversary"

philippa — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:14:18 +0000

This weeks's Salon Contra with Logan Circle Films featured a reading of the screenplay for their next short film called "The Anniversary." I got so hooked into the story that when I was talking to M.C. Wolfe, one of the actors, after the reading, it took me a few seconds to remember that she was acting and not really the sick, demented character she had played in the film.

They'll be filming in July and we hope to have a screening of it later this year for Salon Contrarians.

Jeffry Cudlin explains himself, sort of

philippa — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:08:38 +0000

Jeffry Cudlin's exhibit "By Request" will be either the most brilliant thing you've ever seen, or the dumbest thing you've ever seen. Either way, I guarantee you will laugh out loud when you see it. Even if it's just nervous laughter. Cudlin wants to see how you deal with your discomfort when you see a 23 foot long photograph of him in the buff, or when you see him cuddling up with a raw pig's head. There's more to it than that though. Watch the video to find out what Jeffry's trying to do as he attempts to create the ideal art show.

Rob Parrish: Meta Redux

philippa — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:33:38 +0000

Rob Parrish makes videos in which he download movies from Archive.org, watches the movies, and writes and records new audio, re-cuts the video to the new audio. He makes a new one every Wednesday. They are really fun to watch! Check out the best ones HERE.

Jeffry Cudlin continues the march toward the ideal art exhibit

philippa — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:51:41 +0000

I am starting to feel a little bit like a half-Asian Bridget Fonda to Jeffry Cudlin's Jennifer Jason-Leigh. First there was the home invasion pictured above (and reported HERE). I hear a severed-pig's head is in my future!

Free music from Yoko K!

philippa — Fri, 21 May 2010 15:03:41 +0000

Yoko K was a huge hit at the TedXConference yesterday! If you weren't able to attend the conference or watch it on livestream, check out her rehearsal for the conference at Salon Contra earlier this week. It was a blast to watch her creative process! She made some modifications to the presentation between the Salon and TedX so what you see in this video won't be exactly what she presented at the conference. Pretty great stuff.

Free music offer!

Artistic generosity

philippa — Sun, 16 May 2010 18:04:28 +0000

The DC Arts Center hosted Cuisine des Artistes last week, which featured yummy delicacies created by artists. The highlight of the evening: presenting Don Russell, director of Provisions Library, with the 2010 Herb White Award for service to the DC arts community.

Is DC water safe to drink?

philippa — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:03:06 +0000

Mary Coble's exhibition "Source" opened yesterday with a performance that culminated in the creation of a communal source of clean water from which everyone who attended was invited to drink. I enjoyed several cups of delicious, filtered water that were a result of this thought-provoking project!

Working for it makes it more meaningful

philippa — Thu, 13 May 2010 14:10:24 +0000

Great article in the New York Times this morning about an art dealer who has chosen the temporary, pop-up gallery as her permanent means of showing art. Her gallery roams New York and she's even planning a pop-up exhibition in Los Angeles. Wouldn't it be easier if she just had a fixed address? Here's why she's roving around:

The Artisphere: Not a normal institution

philippa — Tue, 11 May 2010 17:07:43 +0000

Here's a little video I made of Ryan Holladay of Bluebrain and Elizabeth Ward of Pink Line Project talking about why they're excited about the Artisphere, which opens on 10-10-10. It's being built inside the former Newseum building in Rosslyn, VA. You know, the big white dome across the Key Bridge from Georgetown?

Video highlights from Salon Contra with Andrew Wodzianski

philippa — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 11:19:27 +0000

Andrew Wodzianski joined Salon Contra this week from his 100 square feet pop-up living space in a storefront on U Street via Skype this week. At the Salon, artist Kathryn Cornelius explored with Andrew questions about the distance between reality and fiction and what it means to be a performance artist on public display.

Pink Noise: A Chat With Félix Angel of the IDB Cultural Center

philippa — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:31:17 +0000

I had the pleasure of meeting Félix Angel, the director and curator of the IDB Cultural Center. Although I'd seen him at various arty things around town and I have been on the IDB's cultural events mailing list for a long time, I had no idea what a major contribution Mr. Angel has made to DC's cultural life over the past 30 years that he has been in Washington. I learned the extent when the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities presented him with the Mayor's Arts Award For Visionary Leadership in the Arts a few weeks ago.

Discomfort reminds us we are alive

philippa — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:03:06 +0000

When buying art, people often consider where the art will be placed in their home. Will it fit over the mantel? Does it clash with the fabric on the couch? When they decide against purchasing something, they usually say something like, "Oh, I don't have room for it in my house." I've always thought that was such a lame excuse. If the work moves you or inspires you, then having room in your house for it should not even be a consideration!

Pictures from Hapi Hapi Hour

philippa — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:59:27 +0000

Hapi Hapi Hour at The Textile Museum was a lovely affair! The Four Horsemen (heart them!) serenaded hapi folks in the museum's beautiful garden. Food Arts provided delicious sushi and sake and assorted other yummy nibblies.

Inside the museum, WE ARE SCIENCE! led hapi people on tours of the exhibits. Music in the galleries from one of my faves DJ Robin Bell.

Pink Noise: A talk with art fanatic Dr. Barbara Polla

philippa — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:43:13 +0000

Pink Noise describes the place between randomness and order, which sort of explains the addiction of art collecting, or any kind of collecting or passion. The scientific definition of pink noise describes the way your heart rises and falls as it reacts to things that happen throughout the day, like when you decide to purchase an artwork that has moved you in some way.

Salon Contra: A.B. Miner and Veronica Jackson

philippa — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:07:46 +0000

A.B. Miner talks about his current exhibit at G Fine Art in which he "documents the permeability of flesh, a struggle for control over the body, and the limits of emotional resilience." The conversation is led by art collector Veronica Jackson who learns something new about his work even though she's been collecting it for several years. That's one of the many things I love about art: it's a constant act of discovery.

Miner's show "Naked" is on display at G Fine Art, 1350 Florida Avenue, NE, until May 1, 2010.

Cherry Blast!

philippa — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:32:23 +0000

Cherry Blast II was a blast! So many wonderful artists and musicians turned a warehouse and storage facility at the corner of 17th and Florida, NW, into a creative wonderland.

The experience began in the loading dock, which was filled with disco beats by DJ Gold, The Fridge DC.

Artist Adrian Parsons performed a piece in the vintage shipping container called "It Cannot Be Helped.

Can we talk about Fight Club now?

Grand unveiling of Nevan Lahart's art installation on April Fool's Day

philippa — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:37:44 +0000

Irish visual artist Nevan Lahart has been in residency with Pink Line Project partner Solas Nua all month tinkering away in a raw space in NoMa. Right after he stepped off the plane from Ireland on March 5, he was taken to a huge groundfloor retail space in the building that was Artomatic in 2008. There he found scattered construction debris and a group of maintenance workers enjoying lunch around a slightly incongruous mahogany boardroom table and overstuffed leather chairs in the middle of 10,000 square feet of concrete, glass, and raw ductwork.

Video highlights from Salon Contra about collecting art on a budget

philippa — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:36:29 +0000

Salon Contrarians got to hear Allison Marvin, founder of Sightline, talk about things to consider when you delve into art collecting. The video is a little long but there's some good stuff in there. I hope you don't get too distracted by me waving my arms around so much!

This Salon was co-hosted with the Forum for Emerging Arts Professionals.

Thank you Eatonville for providing yummy snacks!

Preserving digital data

philippa — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:03:28 +0000

Henry Thaggert passed along this excellent article From American Scientist about preserving data that is stored on digital media. This question of digital preservation is particularly important for art collectors because we are charged with the responsibility of caring for artworks that we have acquired.

Great art in unusual places

philippa — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:41:29 +0000

In my ongoing quest to find art in unusual places in Washington, I visited the Federal Reserve Board yesterday! Yes, the one that controls our banking system and therefore might be the most powerful government entity in the country, but you'd never think this stuffy institution would be interested in arty stuff. Anyway, turns out they have a pretty neat art collection that is overseen by top-notch curator Stephen Bennett Phillips, formerly of The Phillips Collection.

Reconstructing Childhood Ideals (video)

philippa — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:41:09 +0000

I recently visited a contemporary exhibit curated by Jeong-ok Jeon at KORUS House called "Desirable Fairy Tales: Between Fantasy and Reality." Part of the Korean Embassy, KORUS House hosts lectures and art exhibits about Korean culture to promote friendship and understanding between the Republic of Korea and the United States. Jeong-ok told me that it was unusual though for KORUS to showcase a contemporary art exhibit much less one that included non-Korean artists.

Salon Contra: "Go For Gold!" with Gesche Wuerfel and Al Miner

philippa — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:44:10 +0000

Gesche Wuerfel spoke about her exhibit "Go For Gold!: The Transformation of the Lower Lea Valley" with Al Miner at Salon Contra a couple weeks ago. You can still see the exhibit at the Civilian Art Projects (1019 7th Street, NW) until Saturday, March 20!

The photographs document the conversion of a suburb of London into the site for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Rothko's black paintings stir up discussion about skin color

philippa — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:20:28 +0000

On Sunday, Washington Post art critic Blake Gopnik wrote about the rehanging of Mark Rothko's black paintings. Interestingly, Gopnik dwells on skin color as he contemplates the works.

Gopnik writes: "Of course, when Mark Rothko painted these works in 1964, he didn't have the skin of African Americans in mind. I'm suggesting that we might want to as we look today."

Gopnik goes on to say:

Salon Contra: Fancy Graffiti Comes To Washington

philippa — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:03:43 +0000

Solas Nua has brought artist Nevan Lahart to Washington, DC, to create an art installation. He'll be working in the NoMa neighborhood throughout March and will unveil the new work April 1-3, 2010.

Shortly after arriving from Ireland, Nevan regaled Salon Contrarians with stories and insight into his work process. DC-based artist Kathryn Cornelius led the mirthful conversation.

USPS Features Abstract Expressionist Painting

philippa — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:50:25 +0000

Even the United States Post Office is getting all arty on us! They've recently issued a souvenir sheet commemorating abstract expressionist paintings.

"See the freshest, newest, most experimental, most innovative work, both the successes and the failures"

philippa — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:14:01 +0000

Showing art in alternative spaces, which basically means anything other than a traditional art gallery, is pooh-pooh'd by the art establishment. I think this is silly and reeks of unnecessary elitism! See below for artist Alain Douglas Park's excellent argument for why showing art in an alternative space can be very rewarding. He points out that many established, well-respected art spaces started out as DIY, on-the-fringe spaces. They became respectable because they showed good art!

What happens when somebody doesn't get into art school

This mock video of what happened when Hitler learned that art dealer Jeffrey Deitch had been appointed to be the new director of the LA Museum of Contemporary Art instead of him is hilarious. Newbies to the art world may not get all the references but still worth a watch to get a sense for why many are much less than thrilled with the MOCA board's decision.

"winter würst/worst weiss" - Part 3

I returned to Patrick McDonough's temporary studio at the 39th Street Gallery to check up on his progress and a party ensued! Three other art collectors happened to visit at the same time and we helped Patrick assemble sausage from the innards of a teddy bear he slaughtered a couple weeks ago to make a sausage chandelier. We also got to color!

Salon Contra recap: Christopher K Morgan performs "Rice" and raps with Kate Mattingly

philippa — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:18:30 +0000

Christopher K. Morgan, a dancer and choreographer with City Dance Ensemble, performed "Rice" for Salon Contra this week. "Rice" combines spoken word and dance to tell a very personal story about a young boy's search for identity. While washing the rice each night for the family meal, Christopher smears the white rice and water on his skin wondering what it would be like to have white skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. I loved the story because we can all relate to wanting something we don't have. Curly hair when we have straight hair. Pale-skinned people who visit tanning booths.

Art Fiend Veronica Jackson Muses On iona rozeal brown's Exhibit "all falls down"

Art fiend Veronica Jackson travelled to Cleveland a couple weeks ago for the opening of iona rozeal brown's exhibit called "all falls down." Veronica talks about her admiration for Iona's work and why it's important to support artists in many ways, in addition to collecting the work.

DIY and taking risks to achieve great things

philippa — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:08:35 +0000

I've been thinking a lot lately about scrappy artists who don't have gallery representation so they find alternative venues for showing their work, like in "pop up" galleries in raw spaces or sleekly finished condominiums. I am starting to think that this method of showing art isn't all that non-traditional after all! I just finished reading a book called "Lives of the Artists" by Calvin Tomkins, which included an essay about Damien Hirst.

Time to make the sausage

philippa — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:52:13 +0000

I trekked over to the new Gateway Arts Center in Brentwood yesterday to hang out with artist Patrick McDonough and watch him set up his temporary studio in the project space and get to work on an exhibition entitled "winter wurst/worst weiss". I'll be following his progress each week until the opening at the end of the month. You're invited to visit the gallery on Sundays to watch him make the proverbial sausage as he creates new artworks in the space.

Los Angeles art marathon

philippa — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:17:57 +0000

During a four-day trip to Los Angeles with friend and art fanatic Kelly Vrana, I saw more art than most people see in a year while also squeezing in a little Venice Beach shopping and shameless celebrity stalking. During our art-viewing marathon, Kelly and I talked a lot about why we collect art.

How did you start collecting art?

How do you conserve art when it's made from chocolate or soap?

philippa — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:48:28 +0000

When you collect art, you accept the responsibility of caring for the art. Some types of art are easier to protect than others. Oil paintings can last hundreds of years as you can see from visiting art museums. Works on paper are more delicate and should be framed properly with acid-free backing. Photographic paper is improving all the time but requires proper mounting to ensure that it lasts. Regardless of what the material, no art should ever be exposed to direct sunlight. In fact, even indirect sunlight is not so good for most art.

Notes from Salon Contra with Brian Jungen

philippa — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:40:57 +0000

Last night's Salon Contra with Brian Jungen and Henry Thaggert was one of the best artist discussions I've ever attended! It felt like just a really good conversation between an art collector and art fanatic that I admire very much and and artist whose work is appealing on so many levels. Henry asked the kinds of questions that we art enthusiasts want to know when we talk to artists. A summary of my rough, scribbled notes below.
