Reclaimed Recap

This recap for the show we curated, Reclaimed, at River’s Edge Gallery is LONG overdue. We were so flattered that so many great artists agreed to be part of the show. Again, the theme revolved around the incorporation of found objects into each peace, which resulted in a varied, yet cohesive work amonst the artists. The work was excellent. Thank you so much to the artists for being part of our show, and all the people that came to the opening.

See all the pieces for the show behind the cut.

Day of the Dead Recap

Happy Halloween! Where did the month of October go? We’ve admittedly fallen a bit behind on blogging, and the only thing to do is to catch up, one post at a time. Please keep your submissions coming (email them to heyyouguys [at] perfectlaughter [dot] com).  If you’ve submitted something and haven’t heard back, we apologize. Hang tight, we’re getting there!

This weekend is the last chance to see Day of the Dead at Starkweather Arts Center. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday.  The show that Heather Hansma curated has a lot of fantastic work in it, and we were happy to be a part of it. The opening featured music by Hand in the Ocean, and performance art by Jayme Ludwig. All of the opening’s hijinks can be seen in this Day of the Dead photo album that Heather put together on Flickr.

As for the artwork, it’s showcased beautifully in this highlight reel that was shot by local cable channel WBRW. Great job, Heather, on a very thoughtfully curated and tirelessly promoted show that all of the artists involved are no doubt very proud of.

 

Reclaimed Preview: Emi Slade

Wow! That is all I can come up with when trying to describe Emi’s contribution to Reclaimed. The “frame” for this piece is actually the top of a clock that was found in the trash at Eastern Market. The creature inside is hand sculpted and painted and must be seen in person to be full appreciated.

Reclaimed opens this Friday, October 21, 6-10 pm at Rivers Edge Gallery and runs through November 18.

Reclaimed Preview: Kristin Barr

Check out piece by Kristen Barr did for Reclaimed. It must have taken her forever to cut out each page by hand. I also love that you can see the wording of the book behind the piece.

Reclaimed Preview: Chad Davis

We’re so happy that Chad Davis agreed to be part of Reclaimed. Chad created these two intricate collaged pieces made out of old wood, nails, and assorted metal pieces. Good Stuff.
