Happy Anniversay Art Salon!

Congratulations to all of us. The Art Salon turned one on October 30th!
Thank you to everyone for being such wonderful members of our group. We've had a truly successful year. I am so happy that not only are we still together, but still thriving, curious, caring and excited to get together. And we still haven't seen everyone's work.
As this year unfolds, we will finally get a chance to know what we all do. We'll all have had a turn to open our studios. This will be an interesting chance to see how the Salon may transform. Perhaps we'll want to expand the kinds of meeting that we have. Add a few new members. Try out an occasional reading list. Or not. Right now, I am so happy. I love knowing that I can count on a good dialogue. I look forward to each and every meeting. Craig and I are always reflecting on what a wealth of talent we have in this group. It's a safety net and a source of inspiration. A place of accountability and continuity.
We were recently speaking to the former curator of Barnsdall Art Park and were telling him about our Salon. He said that we were fortunate (and I interject smart here) to have this. LA is an incredible place with talent and opportunities, but such a desert for community. It's great to have each other. I love seeing your work, sharing information and knowing that there are others out there that I can learn from, share ideas with and consume cheese and hummus with every few weeks. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Phoebe

Peggy Reavey, Now & Anne

Peggy,
Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful Salon last weekend. I know that I had been eagerly looking forward to running my mental fingertips through the narratives of your paintings. How lovely to finally see the work in person.
Can I admit that I have never read the Diary of Anne Frank? Although, I have been to her house. The book wil be arriving in a few days in the mail. It's been on my list.
Your work was enchanting, engaging, disturbing, perplexing and delightful. I hope that you got what you needed through the feedback of the group. I really enjoyed taking the time to really discuss the work. It was nice to be able to discuss it both formally and conceptually. Your image of Anne as a bride stays with me and I love it. The project of re-writing history seems so right for you. I think it's an interesting reflection of your nature and your ability.
I wonder how many of us vacillated with the idea of becoming a writers. I know that I have since childhood, but love that I can combine the two in art.
I am so glad that you are in our group. I enjoy your strong voice and you unique work.

Peggy's upcoming gallery visit

Judith Corona's studio visit

Thanks for inviting us in, feeding us and intriguing us with your art and knowledge, Judy! It was so interesting to discover the breadth of your work and to hear about your experience and training. Your quixotic paintings were wild and filled with moments of beauty and strangeness, haunting spaces and humorous juxtapositions. It was also an interesting leaping off point for our conversation. I can't get that image of that beautiful figure with that fabulous odd-ball curtain covering her face out of my head. Lovely. I hope you were pleased with the dialogue!

Notes: Tom mentioned Zoom at the Torrance Art Museum. They are accepting up to 5 JPGS, deadline October 1. He also mentioned that they are always accepting proposals for exhibits. That is good to keep in mind.

Thought: Let's insert more "studio-less" meetings from time to time. There are so many conversations that are percolating every time we meet...

I adore this process. Thank you to everyone for participating!
Phoebe

I hope that some of you have a chance to go see Gegam's exhibit at Rosamund Felson at Bergamot Station. The show received a fantastic review last Friday in the LA Times. We own a piece of his work, that is currently hanging in the show. His details are pretty amazing and his use of space is quite lovely. I'd be curious to know what you think.

Armory for the Arts

Here is a review of the the 20th Anniversary Show at the Armory in Pasadena. It appeared in the LA Times and was reviewed by Holly Meyers. As I mentioned, Craig and I really enjoyed it. If you are over there, check it out!

Tom Miller: Fools Paradise

Congratulations Tom! What a fantastic show! The work looked beautiful and bold and really was so well served by the space. You did a great job answering questions and taking us on your journey during the art talk. I am so happy that I got to see it and was truly inspired by both the freedom of your work and the skill that shines though.
"The king is dead, long live the king" is operatic and fully realized. The snake is incredible.
Love this moment. It' a great accomplishment.
To those of your who couldn't make it:
I know it's a shlep, but try and make it out to Lancaster. And yes, lunch at the Lemon Tree was delicious too.
My head, heart and stomach are full!
Thank you...

Sandy Abrams studio visit, July 26, 2009

It's so nice to know that the talent pool runs deep in our group. Sandy, thank you so much for sharing with us your fantastic work, pithy descriptions, poetry, stories and spirit. It was so exciting to see the enormous amount of unique and well-crafted pieces that you have created. It was also pretty amazing to hear you glide through the descriptions of how they were made: Well, then I made a Shaker bed, soldered some steel, knit some sweaters, shrunk some wool, harvested a dozen bagels to serve for your snacks, etc. A hope you heard the accolades being thrown your way. Take it in. It is such a strong body of work.

Here are some of the other topics that we discussed and the related links:
Of course we mentioned getting our work seen, communicating with galleries and sharing our images. We will put a group show together this fall or early winter.
Beth, we missed you!
Clinton, welcome back!
Peggy, thank you for bringing your friend, artist Clark Fox. I was really interested in his observations. Please thank him for us.
Zelda, have a great time at the artist's colony. I hope it is productive and inspirational.
Websites
Kate referred to Mobilme which has a place to post your work. I haven't checked this out fully, but you can!
I mentioned Big Black Bag. I was impressed with this site.
This provides a variety of templates, plenty of color options and some pretty great ways to create a not-too-expensive website. You also manage it yourself, so you can change it as often as you'd like.
Cherie and John discussed the current evolution of website software and thought that it was getting easier to work with as the moments tick by.
The George Billis gallery was recommended for its current show.

It was another great Salon. Thank you so much for showing up and truly participating. Craig and I were both looking forward to it while we were away and we thought of you and our group many different times.
As they say in Southeast Asia: Merci!
-Phoebe

Artists of interest

Dang Xuan Hoa
This is the artist the Craig and I saw in Hanoi,Vietnam. This is a small sample of his work and doesn't represent the new, large work that was so intoxicating! Google him for images. There's not one great site that shows everything.
Patrick Dougherty
This installation artist/sculptor was one the people that Sandy cited as an influence. Organic and beautiful.

Sunday, June 7 Meeting

Conversation Only
Phoebe and Craig's house
OK, it's a week later. School is finally out (for me) and the Lakers have cemented their incredible victory. We are packing for our big trip and I am catching up with you all... (If you are not a Laker's fan, please just accept the fact that you do live in Los Angeles. Life will be much easier that way)...
That was a wonderful meeting! I am sorry that not everyone was available, but it was crunch time for many of us.
Present: Phoebe, Craig, Zelda, Sandy, Peggy, John, Cherrie, Beth, Judith
Our meeting was quite productive, free flowing and motivating.
Everyone was encouraged to come with ideas or topics of conversation.
I raised the question: Why do you make art? and What do you want to do about it?
The first part of the discussion gave everyone a chance to talk about where they started or what it meant to make art. For me, when Peggy said that it helps her been seen and when Sandy said "I wouldn't be Sandy Abrams, if I didn't do what I do", I felt touched and very much connected to these points of view. Of course, much more was said, and people were quite candid.
We bounced around the ideas of commerce, motivation, the role of the artist. It was my fantasy conversation coming true. I appreciated every one's participation.
After this we discussed our goals, big and small. We decided to set small term goals that we would like to achieve either by the next meeting or the fall.
I have written these down in our notebook and will only publish them here if you feel comfortable with that. Otherwise, they are safe in my hands.
We also decided to work on our "Elevator talk" a la the GYST program. We discussed having this together for the next meeting. This is a quickie description, introduction of yourself and your art.
Of course, those not present don't need to account for any of this, unless you would like to. Beth brought the GYST notebook, which looked enormous, but was filled with mountains of pertinent info. It is possible to buy this on disc. Perhaps it would be worth all of us pitching in and buying it for the group, passing it around and sharing. If anyone knows more about this let me know, please.
Other ideas/goals:
-By the next meeting, we decided to have concrete dates and information for our group show. Beth, please check in with Stu about this.
-Zelda suggested compiling a reading list, here on the blog. I love this idea. I will start it and anytime you would like to share anything I will add it. The more information, or any link possible will make it more concrete.
-We also came up with a loose list of the order of the next few studio visits. I've got this in my notebook and want to run it by the rest of the group next time.

I think that this "conversation" visit was a lovely success. We should continue to intersperse these meetings along the way!

Next Meeting: Sunday June 7, TBD

I need your feedback!
Is there an artist ready to go next time?
I know that some of you are feeling like you need a little more time, or until the end or middle of the summer before you will be ready for your turn. That is completely understandable. I know there are teachers who are needing and craving some studio time.
Here is a thought: If no one is quite ready, lets meet and use it as a time to discuss some of those issues that are floating around in our heads. I know I could use more conversation.
Please let me know, if or when you think you'd like to do your studio visit (It can be months from now). We'd be happy to host the meeting here.
Also, all of you, please send me a list of topics that you'd like to discuss at a non-studio meeting. You can either put it in the comments section or send it as an e-mail. I will post these as a complete list and then we can decide.
Thank you all for being a part of this Salon. It is feeding me in wonderful ways.
-Phoebe

John's studio visit

Thank you John and Cherie for opening up your house, studio and kitchen to us all. Once we all finally arrived, it turned out to be another joyful ride with the Salon.
It was nice having Steve Clark as a guest that day.
We missed those of you who could not make it.
Here are the topics that we covered before John's studio visit:

-We checked out the beautiful images and fine printing quality of Zelda's book. She used Blurb for this project. She is also exploring Lulu for book making. Kate mentioned Cafe press for reproducing images on items, like t-shirt, mugs, etc.
-Reminder: GYST class on artist statements in next Saturday, May 16.
-Zelda announced an upcoming show (See entry below).
-We discussed the idea of the Stella Dottir group show being in September. I'd like to check out the vibe (or someone else can too) on one of the Art Walk nights.
-We want to talk with Beth and her husband Stu about doing a group show in October in one of the vacant stores.


John, I think it is fair to say that everyone had their jaws to the ground with admiration for your off the charts technical ability!
(Insert diminishing remark here!)
Since we got a later start, I know we didn't have time to address your more current work and newest projects with ample time.

I wanted to share with the group some of your post-crit thoughts. I hope you don't mind:

"You asked me several times what I hope to get out of this art salon.
My reply wasn't particularly articulate - I don't know of anything in
specific that what I want from this group, but I have already gotten
a whole lot more than I could have imagined. I had planned to show a
very sketchy idea of what this group has pushed me toward, but I
never quite got there this afternoon. I am working on a project that
seems to be taking me back towards painting and something quite
uncommercial, all because of some of the things you showed me at the
your session as well as Tom's, Beth's and Zelda's. Perhaps when you
all come to see Cherie's work I will have something tangible to
briefly show you.

In another regard, I feel that their is a whole lot that I should
have talked about today that the group might have found more valuable
- specifically, self promotion. Tom asked about it briefly, but I
didn't elaborate beyond the idea that Cherie and I always have too
much work to have ongoing promotions all the time. Over the last few
days, I realized as I was pulling artwork out of crevices that I
haven't looked into for decades, that I have a life time of
experience with self promotion and art reps in the commercial
illustration world, as well as fine art gallery experiences that go
back to San Francisco in the 60s, 70s and New York in the 80s. I
never really thought about discussing the fine art gallery subject
until I started trashing Julian Schnabel and admitting to my marriage
to crazy Lisa Adams. Perhaps we should try to have a potluck social
some day that addresses a planned agenda of topics that would benefit
everyone in a more specific manner. I feel that I have a lot to say
that might be useful to someone."

It is so nice to feel like the conversation is only just getting started. I know we all have so much more to say, question and debate. This will all be continued as time goes on, but it is wonderful to step into your work and get to know your artistic voice even better! Thank you!
-Phoebe

Check out what Erin, an emerging artist, had to say about our last
workshop:
As an artist I have found it difficult to write about my own work, and
thought it would be helpful to have a professional review of my
statement. Seeing the add for a free statement review with my RSVP for
a GYST workshop, I jumped at the chance. Any expectations I had were
far exceeded by my reviewer. Tucker had not only burned me a disk with
his comments, but also sat down to review each sentence with me. His
comments were well thought out and came from a place of real art world
experience. I would recommend this service to any artist from the
confused to the professional! Thanks GYST!

Beth's Studio Visit

Thank you so much Beth for sharing your work with us. I know that everyone genuinely enjoyed seeing your work. Today in particular, there seemed to be a general sense of appreciation for what we are creating through this salon. Your work provoked interesting dialogue and resonated on many levels. It looked fantastic and the space was a great option for you.
We all would like to take Stu up on his offer to let us put on a show in one of his vacant buildings.
We can continue to talk about this idea.
We didn't have a chance, or perhaps there was no need to make announcements today. If anyone forgot to bring something up, please pass the information on to me.
I'm sorry that I am the only one who can post from here, but please send me any info and I will add it on quickly. Or you can always hit "comments".
The general consensus was that we missed Tom.
Clinton, if you are out there, come back!
Next meeting: Saturday, May 9 at John and Cherie's house.

Here is the article that we discussed today regarding collage. Check it out, you may find it interesting and pertinent.

Beth Leister's Studio Visit

March 29, 2:00 PM
11661 Santa Monica Boulevard at Barry
A few doors west of the En Sushi restaurant (which has a big sign).
Please remember to save this date for Beth's studio visit. Her husband Stu has secured this space for her to display her work for this day.
Because it is an empty space and there will not be furniture, Beth thinks that you should bring a beach chair or something to sit on. The floor might be dusty for pillows.
I think that you will find Beth's work to be exciting and should provoke some interesting dialouge!
Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Kline Academy

Here is a link to the Kline Academy that Judith mentioned when discussing possible venues for group art shows. Take a look!

Annual San Pedro Home Tour and Art Auction

Yo arteests! I wanted to ask if you would consider donating
a piece to the Annual San Pedro Home Tour and Art Auction. It's a really
nice event and the proceeds go the the Land Conservancy's
work on White Point Park in San Pedro. White Point is a stretch of coast
which, having functioned as everything from a Nike Base to a hangout for
drug addicts, is gradually being restored with native plants, interpretive
center, etc. Each year about 6 historic or beautiful or eccentric houses
are opened to the public for a day, after which participants meet for a
reception and art auction with food, wine and music. This year, there
will also be a reception a week or so before the event specifically for the
artists, where we can show our work, answer questions, etc.. (plus eat and
drink).
Could those of you willing to do this please send your addresses to my
email: peggyreavey@ymail.com
I need to have a formal invitation sent to you.
Thanks!!
Now go make some art.

Next Studio Visit

Beth Leister will present her work at a vacant space in Santa Monica. Address to follow.

Zelda's studio visit

Well, that was a wonderful visit. I always leave these Salons feeling nourished from our conversations. I feel that we are a good blend of personalities and points of view. We are all bringing our expertise and experience to the table and it seems to be working. Even when things get a little bumpy, we seem to self-correct. Thank you.

Thank you so much Zelda for showing us your beautiful, somewhat mythical and novel work! Your images and aesthetic are staying with me. Your house is gorgeous and your snacks maintained our high level of culinary expectations.

Welcome Peggy. Your insights and contribution to our dialogue are a welcome addition. You fit right in!

Here is a summary of our meeting. We discussed the following:

• We discussed the idea of meeting the first Sunday of each month. Unless there is a conflict with the date. let's keep this in mind as we continue to schedule.
  
• A possible group show at Stella Dottir. Most were in favor. Now, I will talk to Stella about this. Please check out the store next time you are downtown.
• Let's keep on the lookout for alternative spaces for future shows.
• I emphatically recommend listening to the Podcasts of What do Curators Want? See archives.
  
• Peggy highly recommends the Two Germany's show at LACMA.
• Craig and I both enjoyed the photo show at the Santa Barbara Museum.
• Judith mentioned her friend, artist Cheryl Klein. She has a wonderful work and teaching space on Motor and National. Judith, please find out more.
• Kate thought that we should have a meeting eventually devoted to Artists Statements. After a few more visits, we can schedule this.
• Missing from meeting: Beth and Clinton.
• The blog: Send me any info or listings that you would like published and I'll post it for you. You can always go back in the archives or post an immediate comment to anything previously posted. It's not perfect, but it functions.
  

Peggy Reavey

Please check out out Peggy's website. She will be joining us next time. Welcome to the Salon, Peggy!

Sooner rather than later

I am getting feedback (including my own internal naggings) that we should meet a little more frequently. I think this time was a little too stretched out.
I also think that we should occasionally meet in between studio visits for conversation designated for a specific topic.
So, we could schedule a dinner or snack-y event half way through a cycle.
I have some topics in mind. Please ruminate on some of your own. I know you have already.
I am looking forward to seeing you all. Also, unfortunately, Beth will not be able to make it to Zelda's crit. However, she will be next!

The Boom is over. Long live Art!

This article appeared in yesterday's New York Times (Sunday, February 15, 2009). You may find it interesting. I thought it was a thoughtful reflection on what's going on in the art market. Parts of it made me cheer, other parts evoked some prickly debate between Craig and I.
There was also another article discussing what artists have done historically when the economy was tanking. Check it out if you have time.

Tom Miller's studio visit

Thank you Tom for letting us in and showing us your work. I hope you found it to be thoughtful, useful and food for thought. I drove away thinking and thinking about your large painting in the back "gallery" and was inspired and a little jealous (the ultimate compliment!)
I really like the dynamic in the group. Everyone seemed to have good input and a desire to participate. I also liked the snacks.
So far, so good! I do think it would be nice over time to bring a smattering of additional people. Keep your eyes open for artists with whom you share a simpatico, or not, but someone whose work you respect.
Thank you for making this work!
