     Visions of Bosch: Sneak preview 28 Sept. 2013


Hieronymus Bosch, born Jeroen Anthonissen van Aken (c. 1450 - August 9, 1516) was an Early Netherlandish (Dutch) painter of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Many of his works depict sin and human moral failings. Bosch used images of demons, half-human animals and machines to evoke fear and confusion to portray the evil of man. His works contain complex, highly original, imaginative, and dense use of symbolic figures and iconography, some of which was obscure even in his own time. (From Wikipedia)

Featured in the exhibit: Papergirl Estonia 
Tartu Linnaraamatukogu (Tartu Public Library)
Tartu, Estonia.

Exhibition Calendar:  April 25 - May 4, 2013

The concept of this exhibition is unique in that after the artworks have been displayed, they are collected together in small groups by the curators and then dispersed randomly (for free) throughout the city in a method resembling the distribution of hand-delivered newspapers. The project was conceived in Berlin, Germany (2006) by Aisha Ronniger who delivered the artworks to the public - hence, the Papergirl reference.

Shozo Shimamato (1928 - 2013) was a co-founder of the Japanese avant garde art group - Gutai. He is regarded as one of the most daring and independent experimentalists of the international art scene during the 1950's and continued to explore/expand art boundaries until his death. I'm humbled to contribute an artwork to a memorial honoring Shozo and his influence on contemporary art. The Shimamoto Art Lab will exhibit and archive the artworks in honor of Shozo's inspiration.

Nishinomiya, Japan


A special memorial service honoring Shozo will be presented at Novotel Koshien Osaka West - Nishinomiya, Japan on March 13, 2013.

Gutai Art Exhibit - San Francisco, CA


    "Sokena"

Permanent Collection: Smithsonion Institution - Archives of American Art (gift of John Held)



Sokena is an artwork concerned with the actual creative act - the tearing, cutting, pasting, dripping, daubing and mark-making. Therefore, it is a documentation of that particular art-making event rather than an artwork which emphasizes visual aesthetic pleasantries. This fundamental Gutai principle has inspired and influenced generations of artists.


An historical exhibition survey commemorating Gutai, the groundbreaking Japanese avant-garde art movement (1954-1972), featuring original artworks from notable founding members along with new works by international contemporary artists who have been inspired by the Gutai principles.

Founded in 1871, SFAI has been a magnet for adventurous artists and central to the development of many of the country’s most notable art movements. After World War II, the school became a nucleus for Abstract Expressionism, with faculty including Clyfford Still, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, David Park, Elmer Bischoff, and Clay Spohn. Although painting and sculpture were the dominant mediums for many years, photography had also been among the course offerings. In 1946, Ansel Adams and Minor White established the first fine art photography department in the U.S., with Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, and Dorothea Lange among its instructors. By the early 1950s, San Francisco’s North Beach was the West Coast center of the Beat Movement, and music, poetry, and discourse were an intrinsic part of artists’ lives. A distinctly Californian modern art soon emerged that fused abstraction, figuration, narrative, and jazz. The CSAI faculty, which included Park, Bischoff, James Weeks, and Richard Diebenkorn were now the leaders of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. The institute's culture of exploration progressed during the 1960's and was at the forefront of recognizing an expanded vocabulary of art making that was a hybrid of many practices including performance and conceptual art, installation art, video, music, and social activism, which continued to inform much of the work of faculty and students in the 1970s and ’80s. During the late 20th century SFAI expanded their tradition of exploration to include new media practices. After 140 years, the SFAI  faculty, students, and alumni continue to investigate and further define contemporary art and the role of artists in today’s global society.
