Sam Dowd's Robots on Video

LMC - Sam Dowd Robots from another being creative on Vimeo.

TonyBirkholz, Another Being Creative, created a great photo/video of the evolution of Sam Dowd's ceramic robot installation. I have heard that outside of our little microcosm called Jackson, robots are super hot and hip. From WallE to The Terminator, robots are everywhere. Ah, robots...icons of the future. Streamlined, slick, making our lives oh-so-much-easier. But then, they inevitably spin out of control, become masters of their own electronic minds and begin to take over the world and do-away with their original life-givers, us humans. It's a familiar story over and over again. Sam's robots are different. They feel as though they have been excavated from an Egyptian tomb. They must be manipulated by a human to do anything. And what they are doing are actually useless, mundane jobs. They are a bit sneaky, not quite sure if I trust them in the gallery at night. I keep expecting to walk in and find one off in some mysterious corner on it's own.

Missed the HeeB First Friday?

In case you missed it, Another Being Creative put this video together about our last First Friday. It was a great evening with over 200 people coming out to show their support. Adam from HeeB Magazine said that it was one of the best openings ever of their traveling HeeB Hundred show, and they open in NYC, Dallas, SF, etc. Go Jackson...way to show those city-folk that we know how to support the arts and throw a good party!
Don't miss our next event...local creatives (bring your checkbook for affordable art), Art It Forward basket, music, and a few surprises!

In Case You Missed February First Friday...

Thanks Tony! Another Being Creative just produced our February First Friday video, giving everyone a chance to see what it was all about. I love having a chance to relive the evening because it was a bit of a blur to me. Enjoy! Hopefully it will motivate you to make it to our next event...March 6.

Sanjayan Walks the Namib Desert

Journey with Sanjayan to the Namib desert from another being creative on Vimeo.

The Nature Conservancy recently hosted a board meeting here at the gallery. For the second year in a row, their leading scientist M.A. Sanjayan joined us and offered a glimpse into the driest place on earth. Sanjayan is one of these gifted individuals who can relay scientific information to the masses in a way that is both engaging and understandable. That is probably why he was invited to give a Ted Talk this year.

KHOL- My Favorite Radio!

It's no secret...I'm a huge fan of KHOL, 89.1. Pass me in my mini-van on Monday morning during Cutter's show and you will certainly catch me car dancing. Stop by the gallery most days and you can experience the joy of community radio with us. (I am considering a 'monday morning caffeine and Cutter dance-session' there) I was sad to have missed the first fundraising dance-party of the winter at the Playhouse a couple of weeks ago, but here is a video by Another Being Creative that came out of it. The next one happens February 20.

When it's super cold...make art!

If you live here in Jackson, you know how cold it can get sometimes. -30f is pretty extreme for most people in this world. But some hearty artists in Jackson get inspired and actually venture outside during these cold spells to create art. Bland Hoke is the Center of Wonder's Ambassador of Public Art and he is responsible for the plethora of free public art that is sprouting up all over the valley for everyone's enjoyment. Add Ben Roth, Tony Birkholz and a few others into the mix with super cold weather and badly insulated buildings and you get amazing sculptures in front of my gallery. I loved coming to work the next day and seeing the spikey gas tank out front. Unfortunately, like Frosty, the artwork itself was made of the elements, thus it reacted to the sun and has slowly melted away into a few lonely stalagmites out front. I have a feeling that we will be experiencing a lot more of these impromptu, public art pieces. So if you missed it this time, keep your eyes open and enjoy!
