From Saturday, June 21-Sept 1 2008, The Shoebox Gallery is proud to present Beautiful Deleuzers/Guattari Heroes a national show of 8 artists inspired by the work of philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Reknown for their works Capitalism and Schizophrenia and A Thousand Plateaus, they are a fundamental read for anyone interested in transforming culture and its "boundaries" of imagination, desire and otherwise. Artists Ryan Barone, Larry Caveney, Frank Gaard, Andrea Goldman, Philipp Hoppe, Kenric Mc Dowell, Kelley Meister, Dustin Nelson, and Morgan O'Hara do just this.
At the opening, Kelley Meister will perform her piece "Caught" atop a six ft stool inside a giant birdcage in front of the gallery on Chicago avenue. Additionally artist Tynan Kerr will host a BBQ potlatch/sale of his departing show Metaphysical Totem Poles. Saturday, June 21st, 4-6 pm sharp.
GALLERY HOURS= 24-7-365 The Gallery is always open for viewing as it is a small storefront window (8'x8'x2') just to the right of 2948 Chicago Av S, part of the Roberts Shoes store (see schema in Information for exact dimensions).
WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE: Work that is cognizant or sensitive to the rough, tumble, smooth and glossy of the area. Artists may consider using the entire building and other display windows in Roberts when proposing marriage of ideas and place. Any media including dance and performance is welcome. ACCEPTED WORK MUST BE READY TO HANG.
CAVEAT: As the Gallery is a window in a shoestore, we cannot offer insurance, shipping nor climate control. The sun will beat down and it will be a little colder or hotter than the store's interior. Automatic awnings protect the window, but not completely. Let your art withstand these conditions when considering submitting.
GO DEEP: The Gallery has existed for the past 3.5 years and has been host to many provocative art shows as well as the Shoebox Biennial and various performance festivals. Please see details elsewhere herein.
EXCUSE ME WHILE I CLEAR MY THROAT: Three artists who’ve shown at the Shoebox and Sean Smuda Studio in 2004: Alexa Horchowski, Jenny Schmid and Emily Johnson, received Bush Fellowships.
