thanks!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1462174029/solstice-moon-solstice-sun-0

Solstice Moon/Solstice Sun is a children’s picture book celebrating the wonders of the winter woods and the beauty of the seasonal cycle as the Earth turns toward longer days on the Winter Solstice. With its gentle rhymes and colorful innovative illustrations, Solstice Moon, Solstice Sun fulfills a need for quality children’s books which explore the changing seasons and establish a conscious sense of connection with nature. The story focuses upon Owlet who travels through the woods with his mother to learn the secrets of the season. We need your contributions to produce a high quality, cloth bound, original children's book, and pay for copies, prints, production, and promotion.

This is a recent painting, "Allegorical Figure #4." The Allegorical Figure series is based on a hallucination I experienced in a visit to Rockford Center, a local mental hospital. Each version seems to get more sophisticated and weirder.

S I M U L A C R A.

SIMULACRA is a four person exhibition designed to explore the paradoxical notions of layers of realities composed with an image using photography. The mediums themselves lead to a problematic paradox of illusion, reality, and how we comprehend them in a contemporary society where the image, video, and Internet rule the way we are fed information.

wanderlust

September 3rd - 23rd

Please join us for the Opening Reception of wanderlust at the Chris White Gallery at Shipley Lofts this Friday, September 10th from 6-10pm.

(Lauren Caulk)

The concepts of "home", "place" and "destination" are explored through the diverse works of 11 American photographers from Philadelphia, Wilmington, New York City, Boston, Providence, Johnstown and Puerto Rico. Presented in the recently christened Shipley Lofts artist community in Wilmington, De, this exhibition offers a broad visual dialogue regarding how we envision, experience and create our sense of "home", in a venue discovering its own identity through its inhabitants.

Live musical performances by Technological Epidemic, The One and Only Matt Miller and members of the My Idea Of Fun collective (Johnstown, Pa) will highlight the Art-Loop re:fresh reception held from 9-10pm at the Chris White Gallery. Collectible artist books from many of the exhibitors will be available for purchase at the reception.

(Andrew Maydoney)

As part of wanderlust Boston-based artist Andrew Maydoney has installed Way-Finding, a traveling full-scale authentic Mongolian-built yurt, housing massive original cycloramic images of its temporary home, in Willingtown Square at the Delaware Historical Society & Museum, Wilmington, Delaware. We encourage visitors to come early to see this naturally lit piece before the evening light fades.

MICHAEL KALMBACH at the DELAWARE DIAMONDMAN TRIATHALON

Many members of the Wilmington & Philadelphia communities had the opportunity to swing at his best fastball in the streets of Wilmington during the May exhibition, The Rules for Staying Young. Over 3 hours and 250+ pitches later, he was still "dealing" to local youths as the streetlights on Market Street began to buzz in the fading evening light. Yet again, Michael Kalmbach is pushing his body to the limit with the arts in his heart.

Launching Active for the Arts, NWAA Director Michael Kalmbach will be competing in the Delaware DiamondMan Triathalon in Bear, De - Sunday September 12th, 2010.

An active Wilmington hockey player, Michael will swim 0.6 miles, bike 16.0 miles and run 2.0 miles in a rigorous personal effort to raise funds and awareness for the NWAA and its members.

An Exchange with Sol LeWitt

2010-07-19T11:04:00.000-07:00

MASS MoCA

Cabinet
20 January – 19 February 2011
300 Nevins StreetBrooklyn, NY 11217
www.cabinetmagazine.org

A two-part exhibition curated by Regine Basha The story of Sol LeWitt's exchanges with other artists is by now widely known. Though most artists engage in this process at one point or another, LeWitt seemed fully committed to it as an artistic code of conduct, a way of life. Eva Hesse, Robert Mangold, Hanna Darboven, and Robert Ryman are just a few of LeWitt's celebrated contemporaries with whom the artist exchanged works. Such exchanges were not limited to well-known artists, however: LeWitt consistently traded works with admirers whom he did not know but who had nevertheless sent their work to him, as well as amateur artists with whom he interacted in his daily life. LeWitt's exchanges—he responded to every work he received by sending back one of his own—fostered an ongoing form of artistic communion and, in some cases, a source of support and patronage. The Sol LeWitt Private Collection retains all of the works he received, as well as a record of what he offered in return.

For LeWitt, the act of exchange seemed to be not only a personal gesture, but also an integral part of his conceptual practice. In addition to encouraging the circulation of artworks through a gift economy that challenged the art world's dominant economic model, LeWitt's exchanges with strangers have the same qualities of generosity, and risk, that characterized his work in general. This kind of exchange was designed to stage an encounter between two minds, outside the familiar confines of friendship.

If we consider the process of exchange as another of Sol LeWitt's instructional pieces, then the rational (or irrational) thing to do is to continue to exchange work and ideas, if only symbolically, with him.

—This is a call to those who share an affinity with Sol LeWitt's legacy as a conceptual artist, to those who knew him and those who did not—to anyone who has ever wondered, "What would Sol LeWitt like?"

—Guidelines

Your gift to Sol LeWitt can take the form of an image, an object, a piece of music, or a film. Books, ephemera, and other non-perishable items (e.g. wine) are also welcome. Other ideas may be discussed with the curator.

2D contributions should be no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches; 3D contributions should be no larger than 12 x 12 x 12 inches.

All contributions will be exhibited at either Cabinet or MASS MoCA. The curator will notify you of the location of your contribution by 1 December 2010.

Contributions can be dropped off, mailed, emailed, or faxed between September 15th and October 15th:

I have an installation in this year's Artscape, July 16th-18th, the Charles Street Bridge, Baltimore.

Here are some images:

The project will include small editioned artists zines/books, a Tea Dance, my dream studio, my new artist zine, some of my good friend's books, and probably the hottest weekend in July. With a photo copier on site, passerbyes or participants will create a small artist zine which will be editioned and get a taste of self-publishing and basically doing it yourself.

2010-06-20T19:54:00.000-07:00

For those of you who are not familiar with Kickstarter this project can serve as your introduction. Kickstarter manages the fund raising of creative projects--I created a link to Kickstarter on the right hand side of the blog last week. Check it out.

Support The Beast Pageant. Your donation can be as low as 1 dollar-- they need to reach 8,000 dollars before July 22nd or the project won't be funded... remember what Paul McCartney said at the end of Abbey Road "....and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". -Michael Kalmbach

NWAA Members: Get to Know Nato Thompson

2010-06-14T21:20:00.000-07:00

I listened to a great interview today on Bad at Sports that I thought I'd share with the NWAA community. Young artists with a considerable amount of student loan debt should listen to this... I'm now a big fan of Nato Thompson, our developing community needs to get familiar with his project! - Michael Kalmbach, the Dr. Dre of NWAA.

Here's another interview I found while I was watching Part 2 of the New York City Housewives' reunion show with Rebecca tonight:

Interview with Nato Thompson

By Lauren Cornell on Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 2:57 pm.

NT: I have always held the political angle of the avant-garde as a necessary and important history. The political drive behind those ambitious enough to make their dreams a reality does not come out of an interest in art per se, but the interest in producing meaning on a large level. A basic Marxist idea (that I think is quite apparent) is that the way we think is produced in the way we live. So, those interested in producing a more robust form of living must take seriously the economic and social forms that produce our world. These are hardly separate projects.

But I must qualify, that this trajectory isn't in terms of pure ambition but, ultimately, in interrogating the social forms that produce our world. It might sound naïve, but I still am hopeful that we can find a way to produce a system of organization which guarantees equal rights for every one on the planet. At times, artists are interested (not always in the most straightforward methods) in producing this type of world. In others, their actions point toward liberatory gestures and forms of meaning that are resistant in their buoyancy.

Institutional critique was a necessary maneuver to show that the art world, like all other forms of discourse, is run via power. The next step is to contextualize this framework among the various other discourses and try to lay out a specifically strategic campaign for meaning production. It seems naïve to point out that power solely lives in institutions. It is everywhere!

RIGHT ON!

National Call for Artists

2010-05-03T10:48:00.000-07:00

14th Annual No Dead Artists Juried Exhibition presented by ArtDaily.org and Jonathan Ferrara Gallery.

The No Dead Artists exhibition was founded in 1995 to give a voice to emerging artists. The exhibition's name is derived from the old adage that artists never achieve any success until they die. No Dead Artists turns that on its head and gives emerging artists their first break into the art world. In the 90's, the exhibition was open only to New Orleans artists and then it grew to include artists of Louisiana. Now in its 14th year, it is expanding to become a national juried exhibition open to artists from all fifty states.
