opening at teton art lab

tetonartlab.com

Recently i had my opening at teton artlab in jackson, wy.  the gallery is super cool, run by 3 hip young locals who are passionate about showing contemporary art in jackson.  the opening was a great opportunity to share my work with my community here and chat about my ideas... but finally with sculptures for people to relate to.

my friends michael bills aka 'fudgaritas' and joey deluca made all the drinks and food.  it definitely made a vibrant atmosphere.

the artlab is currently in the process of transforming itself into a non-profit, which is really exciting news.  i'm on the board as a co-curator and am really anxious to coordinate local and emerging artists abroad through some (hopefully) progressive exhibition themes. the art scene in jackson is still fighting it's way through a lot of tourism and money markets that make it hard to show art for arts sake, but artlab is joining the ranks of a select few (like one other non-profit, and 2 contemporary galleries).  beauty, and all the philosophical debates it spawns, is i believe an important part of life and art... but it's time for jacksonites to be pushed to redefine, question and ponder the nature of beauty and art.  and mainly, to get the opportunity most are dying for- to see some new and exciting work that pushes the boundaries of creativity.

Upcoming exhibition at Teton Art Lab

TENDER:RENDER

This exhibition features sculptural work I have completed in the last year.  It is a further investigation into my zipper sculptures and my ongoing fascination with vinyl.
