Dick Blick meets Herr Boesner
Emil Michael Klein
Greg Parma Smith
curated by Piper Marshall
June 13 – 24, 2010

Dick Blick Meets Herr Boesner brings together two artists who examine the image of creativity, and its conflicted but authentic joys.

Canvases/surfaces, papers/boards, framing, oil paints, acrylic paints, crayons— the products at an art supply store purport the path to mastery—just a few dollars more for that extra fine badger hair brush. When properly equipped, our democratic instincts inform us that anyone can actualize oneself as an artist, but what exactly is the proper equipment?

We are left lusting after material and coveting technique. Technique is the fortress of the master-craftsman—the casual shopper cannot so easily slip into his role. Mastery is just out of reach. Did mastery abdicate its primacy to the post-studio artists? They move more freely without these materials and historical trappings, all while efficiently favoring ideas, fabrication, and mobility, in pace with digital life.

This exhibition presents labor intensive objects that activate their own rigid obsolescence. These artworks reflect sharply on some of the demands made of contemporary art. Both of these young artists use traditional skills in traditional ways. Here, technique is a vehicle that yields odd, new positions on contemporary art. In bringing this work together, the exhibition questions the critical agency of efficient artwork, the “high” / “low” debate, and de-materialized, de-skilled art practices.

Storming Heaven (From Home)
Jeremy Shaw

January 23 – February 18, 2011

That’s when everything just exploded
and I felt like I was in the…
just in the middle of something
really really like intense and but not,
not of the world

Bazz Mathé in Jeremy Shaw, DMT (2004)

Jeremy Shaw’s project may be seen as quite literally psychedelic: an attempt to manifest the mind, but one that does not reproduce the clichés of psychedelic imagery.

Monika Szewczyk

Jeremy Shaw is showing his video-piece DMT (2004) alongside a selection of his experiments with Kirlian photography that have been produced in the last two years.

He graduated (BFA) the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver, BC., in 1999.
