June 2 - July 2, 2011

Press Preview: May 31, 2011 12-5PM

Opening Reception: June 2, 2011 6-8PM

New York, New York, April 18, 2011 – The Bill Hodges Gallery is delighted to announce Dessert & Disorders, artist Erica Schreiner’s first solo exhibition. In a dark humor vein, Dessert & Disorders links together the ideas of the final course of a meal and human obsessive-compulsive disorders. Murky impulses and mental dysfunctions are presented or “served” as a treat, through a combination of video and stills. The show features Schreiner’s most recent work and will run from June 2 to July 2, 2011, with an opening reception on Thursday, June 2 from 6 to 8 PM, and a press preview May 31, from 12 to 5 PM.

Schreiner’s exploration of problematic states of mind is conveyed through self-representations consisting of obsessive repetition of the same actions. Self-representation and prominent use of the body have been key elements for feminist interpretations of works of art by female artists, such as Ana Mendieta and Cindy Sherman. Nonetheless, Schreiner’s work significantly differs from Mendieta’s and Sherman’s. Compared to Mendieta, Schreiner does not disguise the body in natural environments in order to signify a return to Mother Nature; instead, she emphasizes and dramatizes the presence of the body through the use of sensuality. And unlike Sherman, Schreiner’s use of self-representation does not involve playing stereotypical female roles in front of the camera; self-representation is, for Schreiner, instrumental to portraying mental states that affect behavior and the body, regardless of gender. Her video portrayals are often accompanied with flowers, glitter and food-smashing gestures in what seems to simultaneously be an attempt to establish an imaginary world filled with magic, and an effort to destroy it. Her preoccupation with the theme of an existence, spoiled by illness, reflects Schreiner’s concern with the idea of vulnerability, an interest that also appears in her previous work. In her portrayals of emotionally and psychologically wounded minds, food and flower crushing and/or glitter and flower embellishments are indicative of a pursued desire to gain control and break the confinement of the mind. Somewhat playfully embedded in the short videos’ narration, those actions reveal an aggressive and more confrontational predisposition in facing human fragility.

In performing acts such as smashing, smearing, eating and glittering, Schreiner brings emphasis on the body as medium. Bodily gestures become, in Schreiner’s videos, compulsive actions that paradoxically signify empowerment through their morbid and comical repetition, as if saying the same thing multiple times makes it more effective. Furthermore, the body assumes a preeminent role in demonstrating the link between the mind and the body itself, becoming the canvas through which the artist expresses herself.

Erica Schreiner has presented her work extensively throughout the United States and abroad. In addition to video, Schreiner works in the mediums of writing and performance. Her first collection of short stories, Hellos and Goodbyes was published in 2009. Recent exhibitions, screenings and installations include: premiere of Sauce, Thistle, Anne, and Dance (2010), Downtown Independent, Los Angeles (2011); screening of Sunbeam, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, New York (2010); video-installation of Paper Cup, Ohio and Lover, Bill Hodges Gallery (2010).

Artist Interview: Dani Bravo

What is your name: Dani Bravo

Do you have a formal art education or are you a self taught artist: I am a self taught artist! I just started painting around 8 months ago. Its something I always wanted to do but never thought I was good enough. But after a lot of life experiences it was something I needed to do.

What is the style of your pieces:My pieces are very colorful and intended to bring out the emotions that can be represented in color.

What is the medium in which you work: In general I use oil paints but also use acrylics,water based, and magic markers in my pieces. And I love to paint on cardboard and canvas.

What started you on your path as an artist: I started off as a musician and through learning about my self and my soul through my music realized I could represent myself and my emotions through colors in a way that is completely unique from musical expression.

What is one of the most important things that art has brought to your life: My art has brought me a sense of completion as a human being. It has given me a sense of identity and a sense of doing what I was born to do. And in that way it has given me a tremendous amount of peace of mind.

What is your favorite genre of art besides the one you work in:My favorite genre of art besides the one I work in has to be photography. I love photography because unlike painting where painting is when you take what is inside of you and you bring it out into the physical world, photography works in the opposite sense where it takes what is in the physical world and is transformed into the spiritual world.

Do you have art showings, and if so what are they typically like: I have never shown my art anywhere but intend to once I feel that the world is ready and that I am ready to reveal my art to the world.

Do you have a certain set of clothes you make art in: I always paint in the same white t shirt. It is a plain white v neck from fruit of the loom but i painted the word "paint" on it as reminder to myself of who I am and what I was born to do.

What has been the most frustrating part of being an artist?The most frustrating thing about being an artist is that sometimes the art you make isn't good. And that's okay and you have to realize that that is just a part of the learning process. That is why it is so important to work a lot and to just keep doing a lot of things.

What is your favorite sandwich of all time: My favorite sandwich of all time is the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Without a doubt.

Has this year brought about any changes in your work, and if so what are they:This year has definitely made a huge difference in my work. I feel like I have always been scared to stretch the boundaries of my art but I now realize that their are no boundaries, and as long as I reflect my light honestly then I will produce something I am proud of.

Who is your favorite artist alive or dead: My favorite artist of all time is Vasily Kandinsky. I just love how whenever you see a painting of his you automatically love it. You don't really know what you are looking at, you don't understand it, but you know that you love it and that is something I aspire to achieve with my art.

What is the most moving piece of artwork that you have seen in person: The most inspiring art I have seen in person is the art of Vasily Kandinsky at the Googenheim. It is just unbelievably good.

Do you have any animals, and what do they think of your work:I don't have any pets unless you consider my father an animal. In that case my father is my biggest fan:)

Do you have any upcoming exhibitions you would like to share with us: I do not have any upcoming exhibitions in the near future but I plan to change that once the stars are aligned.

Artist Interview: Eddie Rivera

What is your name:

Edward or Eddie Rivera

Do you have a formal art education or are you a self taught artist:

I am a self taught artist. I get little ideas here and there mostly from comic book artists.

What is the style of your pieces:

Comic book/fantasy style art. I love to sketch and drawing men and women. A lot of times its an over exaggeration of the body.

What is the medium in which you work:

I never went to any type of art school or took any classes, so I only worked with what was around the house. That meant pencils and regular blanks sheets of paper.

What started you on your path as an artist:

I remember my very first drawing! I was 2 or 3 years old, my aunt and my grandmother were sitting around me at the dinner table and they were showing me how to draw a house, a tree, and birds. From that point on, I was drawing all the time, constantly getting in trouble in school for drawing on my desk.

What is one of the most important things that art has brought to your life:

Art has always made me feel special. Even when I draw something I feel looks like crap, people will look at it and say they love it. I love being able to bust out a simple pencil and a sheet of paper and make something people appreciate.

What is your favorite genre of art besides the one you work in:

I love portrait artwork, but the pencil only kind. Tattoo artwork I believe is incredible. However I have to say that I'm a lover of every type of genre. Regardless of the genre you can tell if the artist put his heart into the piece.

Do you have art showings, and if so what are they typically like:

I have never had an art showing. The only people that have seen my artwork is my family and friends. Everyone is always telling me that I should sell my art. My response is exactly this: "When is the last time YOU bought a piece of artwork? Theres a reason there is a term called STARVING ARTIST!"

Do you have a certain set of clothes you make art in:

Whatever I have on. Wether I'm in my boxers or in a suit, when the mood hits me thats what I'm drawing in.

What has been the most frustrating part of being an artist?

The drawing your working on is not coming out the way your picturing it. Halfway through something your working on, you suddenly lose interest and it never gets finished. But the biggest frustration for me is patience. For example I know what I want, but sometimes I tend to work on it too fast and of course it doesnt come out the way you envisioned it. But my patience is getting much better, and learned a long time ago to pull back and take a break. Even if its a day or two.

What is your favorite sandwich of all time:

Sandwich?? I hope this isnt some type of art lingo, because I've never heard of it! My favorite sandwich is a simple ham, mayo,mustard, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat.

Has this year brought about any changes in your work, and if so what are they:

There are ALWAYS changes in my artwork. I will look at another drawing or what have you and get an idea. I believe your artwork is alway evolving even if youve been doing it for 50 years.

Who is your favorite artist alive or dead:

Frank Frazetta is my all time favorite artist. Other artists are Boris Valejo, and Todd McFarlane just to name a few.

What is the most moving piece of artwork that you have seen in person:

I'm not sure who the artist is, but I love this piece of a sad clown. I think the artist really captured the sadness in his eyes. Here is the link of the artwork I'm talking about:
http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sad_clown.jpg

Do you have any animals, and what do they think of your work:

Well, all I have are fish, (african cichlids) and to be honest I dont think they give a fin about my artwork.

Do you have any upcoming exhibitions you would like to share with us:

I have never exhibited my art.

2011 VAST/DPA Merging Visions Exhibition Dallas

April 1 – May 13, 2011

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Denton Poets’ Assembly and the Visual Arts Society of Texas, in conjunction with the City of Denton public libraries, coordinated the 4^th annual collaborative “Merging Visions” exhibition. This year, the exhibit is being held in all three branches of the Denton Public Libraries: North, South, and Emily Fowler Central. 20 poets and 38 VAST artists contributed work for this exhibit. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

All poems and artwork are originals created by members of the two groups. Some of the poems are created with the artwork as inspiration, and some are inspirations for the artwork. The pairings will be displayed mounted on the walls of the libraries, available to view during the libraries' open hours.

Images of all art and poetry were captured in a publication, "Collections I," available at no cost at each of the three libraries. This publication was made possible by a grant to VAST from the Denton Benefit League.

This year’s exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Debra Davis, founding member of DPA.

A tribute by karla k. morton, 2010 Texas Poet Laureate, is included in the publication.

Home In The Weeds: New Work from Kevin Cyr Preview Link 941 Geary

View the Full Collection Here!

941 Geary is pleased to present Home in the Weeds, a brand-new collection of installations and 2D work by Brooklyn-based artist Kevin Cyr. The show will be Kevin’s first solo project at 941 Geary, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 30, 2011 from 6-9 pm. The exhibition is free and open to the public for viewing through June 4. Home in the Weeds is a personal reaction to the fragility of our current society. After the worst economic downturn since the Depression, a feeling of imminent doom remains. With jobs scarce, and government safety nets shrinking, one misfortune — a layoff, an injury, or missed payment — can transform a person's life beyond recognition. Home in the Weeds examines the idea of shelter as a safe haven for a future worst-case scenario as well as more optimistic notions of home and self-preservation.

A series of large-scale installations explore the idea of shelters at different stages or circumstances. Each serves a different function and ideas of mobility, concealment and protectionism play a role in their designs. A small, tag-along camper towed by an old Raleigh 3-speed bike is the most romantic of the installations. It expresses nostalgia for innocence and exploration and is stocked with items reminiscent of my childhood camping trips. A vintage tent is a transportable, but immobile shelter. Its canvas exterior disguises a built-out room with wood flooring, wainscoting walls and a wood burning stove. A third structure is a stationary shelter constructed from discarded materials. Old plywood, rusty sheet metal and various objects scattered around the piece allow it to be completely concealed if necessary. Protectionism plays the largest role in this urban fort. It’s equipped with a CB radio for communication with allies, peep holes for scanning the surroundings and weapons for a last resort. A site-specific installation — built into an oil pit used by the former smog shop occupant — resembles a bomb shelter. Stocked with the barest of survival necessities, this installation recalls the worse of doomsday prophecies. Themes of the exhibition are also explored through drawings, paintings, photographs, and silkscreen editions. Portrait paintings identify characters that inhabit the tag-along camper and the tent house; still life paintings celebrate specific objects included in the shelters; and diagrammatical drawings emphasize the design of each piece.

Kevin Cyr was born in Edmundston, NB, Canada, in 1976 and grew up in the paper mill town of Madawaska, Maine. Cyr received his BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has been published widely. He has always been interested in the industrial landscape and vehicles that have defined America. For the past couple of years, Cyr’s work has been focused on vehicles he has encountered on the streets of his neighborhood, as well as places he has traveled within the US and abroad. While the car remains an iconic status symbol in contemporary culture, Cyr finds beauty in derelict and unkempt vehicles, in particular, those often associated with working-class society.

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 21, 6:30-8 pm

On view: May 21 – July 17, 2011

Tuesday - Saturday: 11 am to 5 pm and Sunday: Noon to 5 pm

Michele O’Marah: Video Portraits

Los Angeles-based artist Michele O’Marah explores the effects of popular culture, deconstructing in particular Hollywood genre conventions with both reverence and criticality. Her commitment to involving the arts community as an active participant has always been an underlying element in her work. This exhibition will present a series of video portraits of artists, musicians, and friends, inspired by Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests (1964-66). The exhibition will include patterned backdrops or wallpapers for each “character.” The artist will also present a series of still photographs, so that the complete installation ultimately acts as a community portrait.

Special thanks to: Casa Magazine, Santa Barbara, CA; ForYourArt, Los Angeles, CA; The James Irvine Foundation, San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara Independent; Santa Barbara News-Press; James Van Arsdale and Kimberly Hahn, Santa Barbara, CA; and Wayne McCall & Associates, Santa Barbara, CA.

Exhibition on view: May 21 – July 17, 2011

*Friday and Saturday: 11 am to 5 pm and Sunday: Noon to 5 pm

Jennifer West's installation at home #9 will be on view until 9 pm

Home Show, Revisited

The reference to the community in Michele O’Marah’s solo exhibition in CAF's main gallery, Michele O'Marah:Video Portraits, provides a bridge to a public exhibition component co-curated by the artist and Miki Garcia, Executive Director. Reprising two of CAF’s most significant exhibitions, Home Show (1988) and Home Show² (1996), the two invited 10 Los Angeles-based artists to reconsider the societal and cultural notion of “home,” by creating site-specific installations in residences throughout Santa Barbara. Artists include: Piero Golia, Evan Holloway, Bettina Hubby, Florian Morlat, Kori Newkirk, Jennifer Rochlin, Ry Rocklen, Kirsten Stoltmann, Stephanie Taylor, and Jennifer West. The homes will be open to the public on weekends throughout the run of the exhibition. Visitors to CAF will be given a map and instructions for the tour.

My computers gone for repair

I can't load your lovely interviews or new call to artists until it comes back.

So I'll tell you a story of an artist and a sea monkey.

Once upon a time there was an artist, tall and thin, contemplative of life. A stroke of genius hidden deep behind her quiet eyes. Her dress was plain, her stride was quick, and her mind was always racing.

She had worked many jobs throughout her life, most just barely paying the bills. A day came-- and she quit.

She quit everything, except painting.

Her brush danced with color on every canvas she touched. The hues made Harmony, twisting and staccato-ing along. As days and months passed, canvases piled up, painted, neatly in a row.

The body of work was solid. She was on a path to share her paintings with the world. She tried one Gallery, then two, then every one in town. No one was interested.

Dejected she wept on a lonely park bench, when to her surprise a sea monkey appeared. The monkey asked her what was wrong, and with a brief exhalation she unfolded her experiences.

The sea monkey, squinting, began to laugh. Heartily. The artist, increasingly perplexed, sat and watched. The monkey spoke-- "fair artist, art is a game of illusion and provocation. Your paintings, no matter how good, are missing blood lust and guts."

The artists eyes widened and blinked furiously. She leapt forth and pulled the sea monkey until his head popped off. He laughed more-- she grabbed again. And again! Within seconds the sea monkey was a discombobulation of parts.

She wept, this time with evil delight, and scooped up his bits. She ran, and ran until she landed back at her studio. She smashed every wrangled piece of sea monkey into each canvas she had. She stayed up day and night until every artwork held a piece. Then she threw them. She threw them in a park, and in a subway station, in a alley, in front of a restaurant, behind a gym, in a store window. And the paintings grew, they grew when the rain hit them. They grew so tall and so wide they towered next to the tallest buildings.

The artist smiled, as she knew that she had just become the most famous artist on the planet.

The Indoor Mural Project: A Living Survey of Street Art Opening Party - Saturday, April 23rd, 6-9pm

White Walls and Montana Colors are proud to present The Indoor Mural Project: A Living Survey of Street Art, a series of works by both local and international street artists. Since March 1st, 941 Geary has been playing host to a series of site-specific works by an impressive lineup of graffiti and street artists in the heart of San Francisco. The Indoor Mural Project is a living, multi-layered exhibition where street art enthusiasts are invited to observe the progression and transformation of a contemporary gallery space by some of the most exciting artists working today.

During the exhibition, 941 Geary has operated as a 3,000-square-foot blank canvas for the selected artists to use as a starting point to build, collaborate and riff off of each other’s work organically. The Indoor Mural Project aims to energize the clean, formal space of the gallery with an infusion of movement, action, reaction and a generous amount of spray paint fumes (courtesy of Montana Colors). Championing the movement for the last six years, Justin Giarla has been working tirelessly to foster a strong community of artists, spectators, collectors, writers and curators actively engaged in the ongoing dialogue of graffiti and street art. The Indoor Mural Project serves as a tribute to both the artists and the community that has developed around their work.

This one day show features an opening party, this Saturday, April 23rd from 6-9pm! We're excited to invite you to come see the metamorphosis of 941Geary!

Her abstract expressionistic pieces employ varied techniques of building up the surface with texture and pigment and then scraping away and revealing what is underneath.

“In my work I try to discover the parallels between music and the visual arts” states the artist. “I try to find a sense of structure and visual rhythm with color while still following a gestural and improvisational method of application.”

In addition to being a visual artist, Carmen Menza received her BFA in jazz guitar performance from the University of North Texas and is a songwriter, musician and performer. She is a recognized artist as well as an active participant in the Texas art community. When she isn't painting you can find her improvising with her all original pop rock band.

Carmen Menza’s work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions including: 2010 – The Belmont Hotel, Dallas, Tx, 2010 – The Rising Gallery, Dallas, Tx,

2009, 2008, 2007 - The Cedars Gallery, Dallas,Tx, 2009, 2008 – Cerulean Gallery, Dallas, Tx, 2007 - City of Dallas Cultural Center, Dallas, Tx, 2005 - Visual Arts Guild of Frisco, Frisco, Tx.

Her work can be seen in the collections of Mi Cocina, Sundance Square, Ft. Worth,

Hermes, Sargent and Bates, Dallas, Tx, and Reveal Productions, Dallas, Tx.

The Belmont Hotel is located at 901 Fort Worth Ave. in Dallas, Texas 75208. Valet and public parking are available. For further information regarding Carmen Menza call 214-536-6011 or visit carmenmenza.com.

Artist of the Week: Vincent Falsetta

Information Taken From Conduit Gallery

Using brushes, cardboard, spreaders, palette knives and dry wall spatulas to achieve a rich, carved and grooved texture, Vincent Falsetta achieves virtuosic abstract paintings that cascade in and out of multi-colored striations of paint. While each painting is at first glance a spontaneous composition, there is an underlying grid pattern that determines the movement of paint (and the viewers eye) across the canvas.
