Partially in Print

Since this blog is also an archive of my career in the arts (think scrap book) I occasionally will list articles and books in which I appear or exhibitions of which I am part (but maybe not mentioned). From last month is an article on the DVAC members exhibition titled Light reviewed by Pam Dillon (apple was mentioned) and Christopher Yates' review of the Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition 2011 (apple not mentioned but Amanda Tirey Graham, a grad school colleague, was).

Look for a book on anthotypes by Malin Fabbri to be published soon. I may be in it if my publication permission forms make it safely to Sweden.

always greener on the other side

You may be familiar with the expression "The Grass is Always Greener On the Other Side". Imagine a 40" x 36"  sheet of paper in which the green of the grass stain is greener on one side. Imagine me in my studio wrestling with said paper. I've unintentionally created, at least as of this afternoon, an homage to Mark Rothko. Below is an image from last night.

As of a few minutes ago I think I corrected the issue. Now I just need to remove the larger chunks of grass that I don’t want in the final photogram. The rose petal anthotype came down last night. I haven’t had time to document it but take my word, after an 18 day exposure it looks fantabulous. During the class visit to my studio, Cynthia Fowler noted appearance of a family of anthotypes in the making.

Now for a little shameless self-promotion. The Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition is now open and will run until August 7th, 2011. Juror Eric Weeks has selected “Apple” for one of the three Juror’s Choice Awards in the professional division. For the complete list of award winners in both the professional and amateur divisions, please visit http://theohiostatefairfineartsexhibition.blogspot.com/2011/07/2011-award-listing.html.

Wall Power (while I’m away)

Besides clearing out my old office, I managed to make some new Vandyke Brown prints before the long drive out to Boston. One of which is now in two group exhibitions. Apple is part of the Dayton Visual Arts Center’s Annual Members Exhition which has the theme Light. The exhibition opened last night and I was informed by phone that it won first place (the Lombard award) and was purchased. Perhaps this one has real “Wall Power”. Thanks to my partner in life, Bridgette Bogle, who convinced me to submit a piece (remotely) and ran the photograph over to David Crowell’s Custom Frame Services. Apple is also on display at the Fine Arts Exhibition in the 2011 Ohio State Fair.

I am sure Dayton Visual Art Center will have documentation in the near future of last nights opening.  In the meantime you can see a simulacrum of Apple here.

In All Fairness

In all Fairness, what is known as the Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition is happening once again and Bridgette and I have work in the professional division. I use this venue as a deadline to create new work in the weeks following the end of the spring semester at the University of Dayton. Bridgette has a painting titeled “Particle” which you can see on her blog http://bbogle.blogspot.com/2011/05/ohio-art-league-100th-annual-spring.html. I will have apple and sacred heart on display.
