--Assurbanipal |
|
--Behind
this mysterious title you can find the first prescription for
the production of glass handed down. It was found in a library
made of clay boards of the Assyrian king „Assurbanipal”
(7". Century before Christ)
--In
Eyfferths still life there are reflected glass envelopes combined
with fruits, flowers and folding cloths. His compositions are
unspectacular quiet and objective, there is no content-full charge.
This is also because it is industrially produced, modern objects.
It is about the state of the things, around surfaces, around perception.
--It
is about the exact vision.
--Thus
the artist develops and refines on and on his own recipe to the
representation of pictorial questions and his new works win in
their clarity and objectivity at expression strength.
--Eyfferth
was born in 1957 in Hanau and since 1993 he is freelance artist.
Since 2006 he is a member of the Frankfurter Künstlergesellschaft,
and since 2008 he is teaching at the Fachoberschule für Gestaltung,
Hanau. In 1997 he got the Cläre-Roeder-Münch-Preis,
in 2006 the culture price of the Main-Kinzig-Kreis and 2011 the
second price of the Kunstpreises der Kulturstiftung der Sparkasse

Friends
of the Galerie Eigenheim, |

--In
2011, the Galerie Eigenheim from Weimar awards again a scholarship
for young artists. Because of space infrastructural changes the
constitutions slightly modified compared to previous years. In
the last 3 years the scholarship was coupled to a six-month residency
in the premises of the gallery, it will be advertised as a one-month
Artist in Residence program this year.
--Related
to meaning of the name origin of the gallery, an artist or a group
of artists can use all rooms of the Gallery from mid of July till
mid of august for presentation, work and society. Together with
our 3M program (muse, mentor, marketing), we are strongly supporting
the scholarship holder during his stay and promote him/her work
the best way we can.
--We
hereby call for national and international artists of all directions
to supply until May 31, 2011 for the scholarship at Galerie Eigenheim
in 2011. We look forward to varied submissions and unusual concepts.
--At
the scholarship no monetary funding is coupled. Housing and accommodation
will be made available in Weimar. A regular presence during the
fellowship is desired. |

-- Freunde
der Galerie Eigenheim, |

--Auch
im Jahr 2011 vergibt die Galerie Eigenheim aus Weimar wieder ein
Stipendium an junge Künstler. --Aufgrund
räumlich infrastruktureller Änderungen ist dieses jedoch
in seinem Aufbau gegenüber den Jahren zuvor leicht Verändert.
In den letzten 3 Jahren an einen halbjährlichen Atelieraufenthalt
in den Räumlichkeiten der Galerie gekoppelt, wird das Stipendium
dieses Jahr als ein einmonatiges Artist in Residence Programm
ausgeschrieben.
--Ganz
dem Sinne des Namensursprungs der Galerie werden einem Künstler
oder einer Künstlergruppe für den Monat Juli die Räumlichkeiten
der Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 10 in Weimar für Präsentation,
Arbeit und Gesellschaft zur Verfügung gestellt. Zusammen
mit unserem 3M Programm (Muse, Mentor, Marketing) liegt es uns
stark daran dem Stipendiat während seines Aufenthaltes zu
unterstützen und richtungweisend zu fördern.
--Hiermit
fordern wir Künstler aller Richtungen aus dem In und Ausland
dazu auf sich bis zum 31.Mai 2011 für das Stipendium 2011
der Galerie Eigenheim zu bewerben. Wir freuen uns auf vielseitige
Einreichungen und ungewöhnliche Konzepte.
--An
das Stipendium ist keine finanzielle Unterstützung gekoppelt.
Übernachtung und Unterkunft wird in Weimar zur Verfügung
gestellt. Eine regelmäßige Anwesenheit während
der Stipendiums ist erwünscht.
Die
Rechtswege sind ausgeschlossen?

--Galveston
Arts Center is pleased to present Ann Wood: Garnish, a site-specific
installation by Galveston-based artist Ann Wood. The exhibition
will open during the April 30th ArtWalk and remain on view through
June 5, 2011. Curator Clint Willour will lead a gallery talk with
the artist at 6:30 pm during ArtWalk.
--Garnish
will explore issues of attraction and repulsion, beauty and decay,
seduction and perversion. --Wood
uses a variety of media in her installations including yarn pom
poms, faux flora and fauna, puffy paint, rubber and sequins. Rich,
cake-frosting colors entice the visitor to enter an environment
that at the outset appears absurdly saccharine and serene. Closer
inspection often reveals that not all is as cheerful or tranquil
as expected, as black crows dissolve into puddles of inky goo,
tree branches ooze, and fallen cherry blossoms and fuzz balls
blanket the ground.
--Statements
on environmental policy and man versus nature are not what the
artist intends, although the processes of growth and decay are
forefront in her work. Taking a cue from traditional Dutch and
Spanish still-life (or “dead nature”) paintings, Wood
precisely arranges each tableau to include elements of not only
both the living and the dead, but the processes in between. “Nature
and the food chain have always informed my work, as has the idea
of attraction/repulsion and traditional beauty,” writes
Wood. “However, the idea of being lured into a dangerous
situation has become a new conceptual obsession of mine….
[I’ve] started to look more closely at the natural cycle
of growth and decay that occurs around me every day.” The
artist also alludes to this duality with the title “Garnish,”
citing its meaning as adornment, decoration, or embellishment,
but also its legal connotations of warning, the extortion of money
or withholding of funds.
--Ann
Wood was born in Sacramento, California and raised in Eureka.
Wood received a FBA in Art with an emphasis on painting from California
State University at Chico. She earned an MFA in painting from
the University of Texas at San Antonio. Her work has been included
in exhibitions at venues across Texas including the Dallas Center
for Contemporary Art; Arthouse, and Women & Their Work, Austin;
the Arlington Museum of Art; the University of Texas at San Antonio
Art Gallery and San Antonio College Visual Arts Center Gallery.
Recent one-person exhibitions of her work have been shown at Lawndale
Art Center, Houston, and San Jacinto College South. The artist
lives and works in Galveston.
--Galveston
Arts Center is operating in a temporary downtown gallery space—the

--We
are delighted to present our second exhibition with Barbara Camilla
Tucholski.
--IN
THE CASTLE OF MY MEMORIES is not only the title of the show, it
is as well the title of a marvellous artist book published in
autumn 2010. It is dedicated to the house, where Barbara Camilla
Tucholski was born. Her family left the place in 1953 to move
to the West. She was five at that time. --Immediatly
after the German reunification in 1989 Barbara Camilla Tucholski
moved back into the house, started working there. Her way of regaining
her childhoods home.
--Besides
installations and walldrawings in the house the place inspired
her to numerous drawings and paintings during the last 20 years.

WHAT'S
NEW AT YOUNG BLOOD |

--"Medicina
is the connection that we all feel. We as a people are in a time
of change; true medicine will help navigate us through this change...We
see truth in its vast shapes and forms, and this is the well which
we 'draw' from."
-David Hale and Kris D |

--Our
April show promises to be a visually stunning, large-scale installation
with over 300 drawings and paintings, transforming our white walls
into a microcosm of David Hale and Kris Ds unique reveries. The
artists have also compiled their work into a handmade book, which
will be available for purchase at the gallery, along with various
prints and a limited-edition clothing line featuring the artists
work printed on organic bamboo fabric. Live music at the opening
by Rahasya
from Athens.
--Please
join us on April 2nd from 7-10 pm to eat, drink, and enjoy the
work of these exceptional artists. Be sure to check out the openings
at Beep
Beep and Kibbee
Gallery as well, as part of the monthly Ponce
Crush art stroll! |

--We
have a spring selection of pendant necklaces from Boston designer
Danielle Spurge (aka The Merriweather Council). Each necklace
has a unique design that is hand-embroidered on fabric and encased
in silver. A charming and slightly quirky gift that is perfect
for all those charming, quirky girls you know. |
|
|
|
--Resolve
to turn over a new leaf this season with Screech
Owl Designs eco-friendly, hand-printed blank journals. Each
journal is printed on 100% recycled paper and features a selection
of pen and ink illustrations on the front and back cover. Repose
has 144 tiny sofas on which to contemplate peace and tranquility,
while Propel offers you 108 propellors to move your life forward. |

--Woodtecs
iPhone/iPad docking stations are handmade from actual logs found
near the artists home in upstate New York, and they still smell
like cedar! Each dock is one of a kind and polished to perfection.
We have dual and single docking stations available for you to
connect your modern technology back to the earth, while recharging
your home décor. |
|
--Add
to your art collection with our selection of prints by Nashville
artist Hollie
Chastain. Hollie uses found paper and collage techniques to
create her detailed, intriguing scenes that are at once historical
and slightly mystical. She often lets the materials dictate the
subject matter, incorporating water stains, scribbles, and the
natural aging of the found paper into her work, which makes for
truly unique pieces. |

Heart Is Where the Art Is: About Young Blood |
|
Voted
Best of Atlanta by Creative Loafing and Atlanta Magazine, Young
Blood Gallery & Boutique is a place to find your passion.
Young Blood gallery was founded in 1997 when owners Maggie White
and Kelly Teasley saw a gap between the incredible talent of local,
unknown artists and the opportunities they were being given within
the traditional art establishment. Since then, Young Blood has
led an explosion in independent galleries, while remaining at
the forefront of cutting-edge art. Uniqueness, affordability and
community remain the watch words of Young Blood. |
