Every once in a while I would go over to the hall way for a drink of water. Each time I would walk by, this pile of dirty towels and bed sheets kept getting bigger and bigger. It also started to become more and more interesting to me because it started to touch on some of the ideas I've been playing with in my work. That's how we impact our surroundings and the physical marks that that leaves behind, along with the histories/stories these marks make. So I am going to show you the image I took followed by what I have in mind for a possible installation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bO4vL6oy9To/TWk_Qhij2wI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/g8ein4-8vPs/s1600/Dirty+Laundry+-+Concept+Image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bO4vL6oy9To/TWk_Qhij2wI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/g8ein4-8vPs/s320/Dirty+Laundry+-+Concept+Image.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I took this picture, there was a guy working and stacking the bags in the cart. So, I asked if it would be possible to not clean a pile of laundry (for a small fee thinking I could avoid transportation costs or at least reduce it) and he said NO. Can't be done. I haven't given up yet, but before I push the issue of finding out how I can get a pile of dirty laundry so I can install in the gallery, I thought I would ask for some input. I am thinking of having a pile of unclean laundry like this one in the gallery with digital images on paper of common household items hung near somehow like: sinks, toilets, shower heads, soap, trash cans, etc. I didn't like my digital images and how I had mounted them. I am thinking flat transferred photos on to paper and either sand or see what comes off in the printer and work with that. I would try and recreate the image of a sink, etc by drawing in pencil or ink like an architect would very straight lines. This would contrast with the faded image on paper and relate back to the idea of memory, histories, impacts, and the pile of dirty laundry next to the images.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thoughts?</div>vaudevillevcfahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16174650133138293399noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785535613750662458.post-74207014486762559152011-02-26T09:47:00.000-08:002011-02-26T09:47:45.394-08:00Space4art Gallery Opening - Feb. 24, 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pCorEEAxU7Y/TWk3CvCPmZI/AAAAAAAAAEA/WVqSo0zT68Y/s1600/Space4art+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pCorEEAxU7Y/TWk3CvCPmZI/AAAAAAAAAEA/WVqSo0zT68Y/s320/Space4art+1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a somewhat new studio/gallery space in what we call the East Village of downtown San Diego. There's a few live/work lofts inside, too. It is a huge space that takes up a whole city block. I am hoping to get a studio space if they think I am worthy. You have to be interviewed and demonstrate you are a "serious artist". I think you have to have paint or something on your clothes the day of the interview?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is my favorite artist of the night: Claire Zitzow. She used photo images and used installation elements like the wood you see to create a dialog between the each of the pieces. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is only a small section. It fills up two walls of the second gallery.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZqFC-yqXoX4/TWk3OREwUKI/AAAAAAAAAEM/3gtqxNCQZCo/s1600/Creepy+Space4art+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZqFC-yqXoX4/TWk3OREwUKI/AAAAAAAAAEM/3gtqxNCQZCo/s320/Creepy+Space4art+4.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't remember the name of this art because I felt a need to get out of her studio before I became one of her installations. There was freshly cut oranges, sound, so there was this overwhelming sensory overload going on. Yes, that's fresh sod on top of the roof of her little house. She wasn't in the main gallery or a part of the opening. She lives in the space and just opened her studio with this installation, which many of the artist with studios there do on opening nights. She told me it was a work in progress and she was planning on including a performance of some kind along with the installation. The little character inside is looking at a broken table and there are large wooden spoons, etc hanging from the ceiling. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
