.Matthew Fisher and
Jon Lutz co-organized a day of art in the park a couple Saturdays ago... called
The Longest Day... it was the day after Summer Solstice.
J.D. Walsh,
Barrow (Fruity Pebbles), 2008, archival ink-jet print on wood.
KIDS LOVE FRUITY PEBBLES!! Fruity Pebbles has won the hearts and minds of children everywhere... every kid in the park came to ogle this box of giant Fruity Pebbles... they could not believe it.. it's like they were wondering when it would be opened, how big would the Fruity Pebbles be, what is the prize??? They pointed and dragged parents. They tried to get on it. They basically just stood around with wide eyes and huge grins.
Jon Lutz - the man...
the blog. The latest post is an artist feature/interview with
Patrick Brennan, currently showing at
Werkstatte.
Stacy Fisher, untitled, 2008, wood, plaster, hinges, paint
It's two pieces propped together, with a couple different possible positions. The wooden part is hinged.
The palette, plywood, lumpy white plaster, and hints of functional possibilities reminded me of
the Kenji Fujita/Nancy Shaver collaboration.
Jaime Gecker, wallwork, 2008, photo laminate, latex, and spray paint on plywood, 3 parts.
FRUITY PEBBLES!!! This kid just kept looking from the box to the group and back again, with that huge smile on his face. His eyes were bugging.
