FAMILIAR FRIENDS

Familiar Friends is an examination of the power of relationships in creative work; the otherworldly and whimsical nature of the pieces in this exhibit express notions of friendly mythical creatures like an imaginary friend or perhaps a helpful demon. The artists in this exhibit use color and abstraction to present familiar forms in new ways. As this curatorial team’s second project to date, Familiar Friends seeks to explore new themes in our similar interests. Meet the crew.

SYNTHETIC SHORELINES

Artists from Iceland and Los Angeles explore their relationship to self and coastal existence in Synthetic Shorelines at Durden and Ray 

Curated by Freyja Eilíf of Ekkisens Art Space, Reykjavik, Iceland

Artists: Sara Björg, Dani Dodge, Lan Duong, Freyja Eilíf, David Leapman, Katrína Mogensen, Sean Noyce, Kristín Morthens, and Ty Pownall

Synthetic Shorelines are a living thought and manmade boundary between elements, where textures and forms are combined in novel mindshapes.

In this exhibition, artists from different shores—Los Angeles and Reykjavík, Iceland—meet and lead an expedition where no boundaries exist except the self in its human condition.

The opening will include a unique opportunity for viewers to merge with their inner computer spirit when Freyja Eilíf will lead them through a meditation into digital dimensions through a mixed media video installation. Sara Björg will present objects that trigger physical interaction. Her methods encourage physical learning and offer a new perspective on play.
Also, Katrína Mogensen will host a performance related to her work on Nov. 17, 2018.

A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD

“Any society that would give up essential liberty to obtain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - Benjamin Franklin

A Matter of Public Record is an exhibition that examines the many ways that we are watched, surveilled, data mined, and placed within an overdetermined system of social control that relies on the multiplication of mechanisms of “capture”. Whether we are capturing ourselves in selfies, tagging our locations, using GPS supported apps for directions, or just passing through the expanded techniques associated with “societies of surveillance”, we must admit that we have entered a new age. 

Curated by Brian Thomas Jones and Grant Vetter
Artists include Nancy Baker Cahill, Christine Cassano, Jennifer Celio, Denis Claude Gillingwater, Steve Hampton, Ben Jackel, Adriene Jenik, Brian Thomas Jones, Nathaniel Lewis, Sean Noyce, Ty Pownall, Rembrandt Quiballo, and Chris Vena

Collectivity

ARTISTS BLAZE NEW TRAILS WITH TWO-PART, TWO-STATE EXHIBITION AT DURDEN AND RAY'S NEW GALLERY

Curated by Daisy McGowan, Lana Duong and David Spanbock

Artists include: Carl Berg, Jorin Bossen, Sijia Chen, Ian Fisher, Donald Fodness, Ben Jackel, David Leapman, Laura Shill, Summer Ventis, Ashley Williams and Xi Zhang

"Collectivity" will investigate points of connection between artists from two international artist collectives based out of the Western United States – Hyperlink (Colorado) and Durden and Ray (Los Angeles) in back-to-back exhibits across two states. 

Collaboratively curated by UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art Director Daisy McGowan and Durden and Ray artists Lana Duong and David Spanbock, "Collectivity" will explore the intersections and connections between 24 artists (12 from each collective). Each exhibit location will include “mini-installations” of two to three artists. 

Artists are forging new models for the art worlds they want to inhabit and making them reality by working together – collectively – with other artists. Artist collectives are as varied in their scope as are the individual artists who band together to launch, grow, and sustain them across the globe. 

Collectives take a “yes, and...” approach to the art world, and in so doing amplify the possibilities for their work to connect with a broad and diverse audience. In similar spirit, the curators of this exhibit are open to the possibilities of collaborative, non-hierarchical curation and experimentation and aim to build connections to new audiences through the two exhibitions. 

By manifesting exhibits and projects on the periphery of the traditional art world, these artists embody the Western ethos of blazing your own path and defining art world success in new ways. 


Opening reception: 7-10 p.m., Saturday, August 4, 2018

Run of show: August 4-25, 2018

Hours: Saturday and Sunday, noon-5 p.m., and by appointment

Static

Static investigates the electric buzz of communication and its effect on the tellers and receivers. The show kicks off with a panel discussion.

The exhibition includes the art of journalists, and of artists speaking to the impact of today’s media. The pairing explores what happens when you put the lens of art, fraught with emotionality and personal perceptions, next to the factual lens of journalism. Does it provide a more comprehensive view of the current state of affairs, or is it just a more beautiful form of static?

Curators: Dani Dodge and Alanna Marcelletti

·      Sara Catania, who recently launched JTrust, a newsletter that collects and curates the latest efforts to restore the public trust in journalism.
