graphic content exhibit

: : I had the opportunity to visit the .contemporary art center in Cincinnati. while I was out there for a couple of days last week. their current graphic content exhibit is amazing!!! .charley harper., .malcolm grear. and .ryan mcGinness. all wonderful artist who's work i have encountered before but I wasn't familar with each individual artist. I especially fell for charley harper's work. so much humor, curiosity, playfulness and of course, attention to detail. above are some of my favorite pieces. it's really worth seeing these in person because you need to be up close and look at it for a while to notice all the details. notice the frog eating a smaller frog?

I also like the wonderful organic, flowing forms of .ryan mcGinness. you might already be familiar with his "icon language".

I'm off for this years only weekend of skiing! let's hope for some snow at least....
back next week! have a great weekend!

gothenburg exhibit

: : I don't know how I missed this when I was home, this was happening right in my hometown, Gothenburg!! check out the story on the .woostercollective.

"Eltono and Nuria, two of our favorite artists from Spain, just back from Gothenburg, Sweden where they had an exhibition called “Privé och público” (“Private and public”) at Galleri54.

We liked how it integrated the city of Gothenburg with the gallery. The artists put up 10 painted signs in Gothenburg with instructions on the back of them to bring the artworks back to the gallery for the opening. Like a puzzle, each piece fits into a larger work that Eltono and Nuria did on the walls of the gallery. At the end of the show, each piece wa signed and given back to the person who found it."
