LOOK INTO MY OWL

Today was a pretty light day for us. We did manage to take in the NADA Art Fair at the Deauville Beach Resort. Here are some photos.

We spent the entire day yesterday enthralled with the “Private View” at Art Basel Miami Beach. The fair opens to the public today at noon and runs through Sunday, December, 6th.

Hunting through the work of more than 2,000 artists has left me leg weary but my soul has been energized. Enjoy the photos.

Last night we attended the VIP preview night at Art Miami in the Midtown Miami Arts District. It is the 20th anniversary of the longest running contemporary art fair in the city. More than 80 galleries were in attendance featuring work from 750 plus artists. Here are some photos of the highlights.

On our way to Art Miami, we bumped into Shepard Fairey and crew working on a huge outdoor mural in the 3000 block of North Miami Avenue. It had been more than a decade since we had connected with Shepard, it was good to catch up a bit.

Due to some storms headed this way, the Obey crew was working through the night. They expect to keep going for the next two days. We should be back through the Wynwood Arts District soon, so check back for photos of the finished piece.

It begins. We have landed in Miami for the art fairs. After some culture shock and a dip in the ocean, we are ready to tackle the art. Updates will occur as energy allows.

We are on our way to Miami Beach for the art fairs. Keep an eye out for upcoming coverage.

Looking forward to catching up with some old friends.

The latest show at NOWhere Limited is a fun and eclectic “salon-style” exhibit of paintings and mixed media pieces by some of Colorado’s most exciting artists.

“When Titles Fail” brings together work from Heather Dalton, Chris Huang, Max Kauffman, Craig Koch, Scott Lickstein, Ian Millard, Angela Oaks, Maggie Ross, Elisha Sarti and Greg Willson.

Most of the artists involved in this exhibition have several pieces on display. In an effort to maximize the dynamic of the show we chose to dispense the work throughout the gallery instead of segregating by artist.

The response to this arrangement has been very strong. We have found that visitors quickly discern differences in style by finding something they react to and visually scanning the room for more from that artist.

The pieces from “When Titles Fail” will be available on line at this link tomorrow, July 15th 2009 at 2pm Mountain.

Yesterday Maggie Ross transformed the front display window of our gallery, NOWhere Limited into a camera obscura. “Imposing Views” was a one day event in which visitors were offered the rare opportunity to have their portrait taken inside a camera.

Maggie Ross, Imposing Views, 2009.

The front window was blocked off except for a small hole which was covered with a lens. The inverted image of our town was projected through the pinhole to a screen inside the gallery. Participants interacted with the camera inside and out with interesting results.

Our models showed excellent poise as exposure time for some of these photos was more than two minutes. Thanks to everyone that came out to bear their souls as part of this interactive installation.
