Again, I’m on the move, but I wanted to make mention here that I have two openings at Angels Gate on Saturday at 2 PM.
Benicia Gantner & Kim Schoenstadt is coming along in an awesome way. Kim’s work (seen above, in progress) is finished and everyone’s talking about it. I’m really glad that I finally got to work with her. Benicia arrived at the gallery yesterday, and the work is laid out and ready to be hung tomorrow. Benicia started working on her vinyl-based wall drawings, and I know that tomorrow morning, when I return to my office at the Center, I’m going to be blown away by what is emerging. Provided I can get everything hung and done in time, I’m going to be one happy curator.
Printmaker in Residence: Dirk Hagner is the first exhibition in our Downstairs Gallery, focusing on one of our new printmaking residencies. I fell in love with Dirk’s woodcut portraits the minute he brought them into my office, and I had to have him work at the Center. These are great big woodcuts, and Dirk has a hand and a talent that imbues the linework with real feeling, capturing the nature of the subject. To see what I mean, check out the link to Dirk’s website. He really has a talent for capturing the intensity of his subjects.
