Tony Labat & Tad Savinar: Nice to Meet You
This exhibition combines the works of Tony Labat and Tad Savinar, two influential West Coast conceptualists who explore the personal and the socio-political in drawing, sculpture, video, printmaking, and performance. The title, Nice to Meet You, acknowledges the fact that until this pairing was planned, the artists had never met, and it affirms that both men are interested in reaching audiences in accessible and often humorous ways. It is the combination of a seemingly straightforward approach combined with analyzed anger and astute irony that gives their work its power..........http://www.thecontemporary.org/exhibitions/tony-labat-tad-savinar-nice-t...

Read moreJoe Rudko is an Artist in Residence at the Iris Project in Venice, California, for the month of May.
Iris Project Residency offers artists, curators, writers, and creative thinkers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines the space and time to push boundaries in their practice, freed from the pressure of production or material exchange. We strongly believe that when creativity is uncoupled from commercial requirements, new directions and insights will emerge, and that these benefits will extend beyond the artist's time at the residency.
Congratulations, Joe!

Read moreStorm Tharp’s pieces Cadre and Wolves at the Door are a part of the the exhibition What Needs to Be Said: Hallie Ford Fellows in the Visual Arts, on display at Disjecta Contemporary Art Center in Portland, Oregon. The exhibition features works in a variety of mediums from thirteen of Oregon’s contemporary visual artists who have received the Hallie Ford Fellowship Award between 2014-2016, administered by the The Ford Family Foundation. The exhibition is curated by Independent Curator Diana Nawi.
Of Storm Tharp’s work, Diana Nawi writes, "... Storm Tharp's ‘Cadre' (2017) contains a quality of pathos, communicated through dynamic gesture and bodies and visages that make visible sentiment and sensation. For Tharp, seriality yields both juxtaposition and cohesion. While a breadth of gestures is contained in this suite of thirty-six works on paper, ranging from total abstraction to clear figuration, from grinding black lines to washy inks, together they form an expressive, almost linguistic set of images that holds contradiction and grace side-by-side." ('What Needs to Be Said,' Diana Nawi, Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Willamette University, 2019, Page 17)
The exhibition will be on display from February 15 through April 5, 2020.

Curated by: Gerri Ondrizek, Reed College; Barbara Tetenbaum, Oregon College of Art and Craft; and Namita Gupta Wiggers, Museum of Contemporary Craft.
The artist’s book is an object that extends work beyond the boundaries of a gallery setting. Through selections from the significant 20th century modern and contemporary artists’ books in Reed College’s Special Collections, this exhibition explores the book as an object which defies the boundaries between art, craft and design, and moves along a spectrum from a recognizable to a deconstructed form.
PICA presents Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen in an ON SIGHT Salon at Washington High School as part of TBA:11. An informal lecture by the artists will touch upon their collaborative practice and their interest in alternate and revisionist histories. The talk will take place within the duo's 'Fix It' office where they worked at editing, redacting and manipulating September, an art historical broadside made specifically for TBA.
