Nick Kuszyk has curated a huge show at
McCaig-Wells. Lots of friends of Nick's, Richmond-connections, and collaborations between Nick and the artists. Last Day is October 7th!
Peter Sutherland - this is the guy that did the
VBS.TV Richard Prince episodes... I went to his (old)
website and am liking his work, definitely seeing the affinity for Prince.
His pictures make me pine for
Travis Conner... (ps - Travis, if you are reading this, I know I still owe you money, sorry. I owe everybody money). Travis is probably not reading this of course, he is probably sitting in a boxcar somewhere...
Kai Vierstra (
MY HOST!) + Nick Kuszyk - it's one of the show's many collaborations.
Kai's earthquakes and tornadoes are made by stressing and bending; the flat wooden boards get clamped and screwed to fit the curved metal parts, cracking and splintering as he tightens them. Go to
his website to see
the videos... nice popping and cracking sounds.
Kai's palette is usally raw - concrete, wood, metal, cactus - but for this one the board was first given to Nick to be painted orange and colonized, before being returned to Kai.
Peter Corrie
Tunde Adebimpe - i can't find a link to more of Tunde's art,
but you have definitely heard his music.
Chip7Also in this show are
Drew Liverman,
Bruce Wilhelm,
Sto,
Langdon Graves,
Bonnie Collura,
Pat Berran... TOO MANY to name them all, there are 115 pieces in the show!
