    Hand in Glove is an itinerant national conference, first initiated by Threewalls in Chicago in 2011 and organized by Press Street in New Orleans in 2013. Its further iterations will be held in conjunction with The Network of Artists Spaces and Projects, a coalition of artists and artist organizers working to share resources, ideas and methods for artist-led and artist-centric spaces, projects and practices, of which Threewalls is a founding member. The next Hand in Glove will happen in 2015, date and location TBD.

Chicago's Opportunity Artist - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • What’s far more interesting,” he says, “is what compels someone known for making art to want to do this and how savvy they have to be to get it done and what sort of difference it makes.
  • Gates sometimes describes his work as reimagining the possibilities of “black space.” Could a block of decaying two-flats well beyond the city’s cultural and economic hubs be converted to form a new creative cottage industry? Could artistic types be drawn there and made to think of themselves not as gentrifiers but as entrepreneurs with a stake in the African-American community?
  • Gates may be performing the archival functions of a major academic institution, the social programming and physical redevelopment of government (his team hired 14 guys from around Dorchester to carry out the gutting of the bank), but he’s doing this in a way that satisfies his own aesthetic appetite and follows the peculiar byways of his imagination

  • The art practice most akin to what Gates is doing, and to which he often refers, is Project Row Houses. In 1993, Rick Lowe and several other African-American artists renovated a string of abandoned shotgun-style homes in Houston’s Third Ward, turning them into artist residences, setting up community-arts programming and later opening transitional housing for single mothers. They based the enterprise on the German artist Joseph Beuys’s concept of social sculpture, the idea that a work of art could be a practical social action
  • Gates believes the “cross-training” has helped expand his thinking about what art is.
  • There are the teenagers on the block paid to clean up, the ex-con who began as a denailer of salvaged wood, Gates’s nephew apprenticing at the workshop. Rebuild Foundation, Gates’s studio and the University of Chicago Arts Incubator together have a full-time staff of 20 — most of them in their own right artists, curators, art historians — and those people manage others.

    Fractured Atlas looks like an amazing organization, John. Talking about it class today really piqued my curiosity. I've never heard of it and am going to look more into it.

Contemporary Oregon Visions: Jo Hamilton and Irene Hardwicke Olivieri - 0 views

    These two contemporary Oregon artists offer two substantially different but equally innovative approaches to figurative art. Hamilton, born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1972, found her true home when she moved to Portland in 1996. After painting for almost twenty years, her artistic practice was transformed when she visited a non-traditional textile arts exhibition. From there she was inspired to fuse the two parts of her life that were closest to her-her daily urban environment and her grandmother's tradition of crochet. Often portraying friends and co-workers from her days in the food-service industry, Hamilton's work displays a whimsical and affectionate vision of working-class Portland. As her work has progressed, she has taken on other subjects as well, including mug shots from Multnomah County, industrial landscapes of Portland, and full-figure nudes.

    The Oregon Country Fair is one of the culture shocks I had coming from the East coast. It represents an awesome culture and collaboration in the Pacific Northwest.It spreads culture and heritage through arts of a nonprofit organization. I hope to go to it this year to experience a sense of belonging with the community around me. It touches a different part of me when I hear about friends experiences rather than just a fair. It is certainly a unique type of fair.

    The country fair, deservingly, is one of the biggest art and music festivals in Oregon and I think it thoroughly encompasses art and culture that has developed in our area of the PNW. I love it because everything there is so unique and eccentric and of course it being undoubtedly an event to display a diverse range of artistic practices, is naturally accepting of all artists and consumers alike. In my humble opinion, there is no opportunity for boredom at the country fair!

    A unique art world of its own. "Absorb other-worldly path ambiance, parades and surprises around every bend. Dress up and come ready to participate in a time-of-your-life cultural immersion."
  • Roka Walsh on 19 May 14
     
    The Country Fair has shifted over the almost 40 years that I've been going. Perhaps because it is produced primarily by volunteers and inhabited by creative food vendors, musicians, performers, and visual artists. These people all bring their own culture to the fair and in turn, the fair reflects that every shifting culture.

    I have not been since the mid 90's. I had a bad experience the last time that I went and have not gone back since. I would like to give it another try. I used to have such a fabulous time at the fair.

    I have not been to the fair but would love to go sometime, from what I have read from the comments and heard form the community it is an amazing experience.

    I can't wait and see the world class entertainers and performers, hand craft artisans and gourmet food creators at this amazing festival.

    Vancouver will be hosting a recycled arts festival from June 28-29. There will be over 120 artists with stage perfumers, jugglers, and clowns. Nothing like mixing some good music with some good art. This is promoting the practice of recycling as well which I think is really important to show to people, and how recycled works can be just as good as those who use new materials only. It would be cool to see how one's trash develops into an artists treasure.
