Artists Alicia Bailey and Melinda Laz from their 2008 Next Gallery exhibit "A Catalog of Lovely Things"
The City of Denver has been highlighting local artists in the jury selection waiting room at the City and County Building for a while now and I was looking forward to catching artist Rodney Wallace's installation there earlier this summer, but unfortunately his work had been taken down only a few days before my number was up and I had opportunity to serve. The use of the waiting room as an exhibition space continues and currently is playing host to artistic collaborators Melinda Laz and Alicia Bailey whose latest installation will be on display throughout November. The jury selection room is on the forth floor of the City and County Building at 14th and Bannock across from Civic Center Park. - KLH

Photo by Raimon Ramis
If your travels take you westward to LA, do not miss the opportunity to take in this major retrospective spanning the career of artist Louise Bourgeios at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (Grand St. location). Bourgeios, at age 96 continues to work daily, and the LA exhbit (which is part of a 3 city US tour including the Guggenheim in NYC and the Hirshhorn in DC) will include at least one of her recent works in addition to some LA based works that will not be making their way back east and will only be shown as part of the MoCA exhibit.
Of note for Denver locals, the Michele Mosko Gallery on 12th Avenue by the Denver Art Museum actually has some of Bourgeios recent prints which combine elements of sculpture with silkscreen, and her work can also be seen as part of the DAM's permanent collection. - KLH

Saturday November 15, 2008 from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm
Walt Kuhn at the CS FAC
Edie Winograde at the CS FAC
If you have yet to visit the revamped Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, well first off, you've missed some outstanding exhibits over the last year, but that said, with gas south of $2/gallon in various Denver environs and a new program featuring free admission on the third Saturday of each month, there's no excuse not to take in the FAC's notable permanent collection along with two interesting takes on historical visions of the West currently on display until early January 2009. "Walt Kuhn: An Imaginary History of the West" alongside "Place and Time: Reenactment Pageant Photographs" by Robischon Gallery photographer Edie Winograde contrasts the early 20th century modernist paintings of Kuhn's West along with 21st century photographs highlighting Winograde's 19th century Western subjects.
While you're down south, be sure to take in the "Mind the Gap" exhibit at the Gallery of Contemporary Art on the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs campus.

Public artwork in the lobby of the new Greenwood Village "Palazzo Verdi" office space
photo by Jason A. Knowles
The down economy is sure to put a damper on all the construction cranes in the metro area, but the fruits of the last boom continue to ripen accompanied by a variety of public artwork. Down in the DTC, the 15 story "Palazzo Verdi" (I always think Italy when I'm driving I-25 through the DTC...) is a new LEED certified "Class AA" speculative office building designed by Colorado architect Curt Fentress that will feature opulent new work by a trio of artists including Roger Leitner, Todd Siler and Museum of Outdoor Art creative director Lonnie Hanzon.
Hanzon has designed a dramatic 13 foot wide, 40 foot high mixed media "Chandelier Chardin" composed of steel, elements from an antique Italian chandelier and pieces of fabricated glass. Underneath the chandelier is Roger Leitner's 42 foot diameter "Chartres Labyrinth," a recreation of a 13th century maze at Chartres Cathedral in France composed of 4800 square feet of stone and pieced together via a laser cut process that enables a precision fit without grouting. Alongside the epic ceiling and floor works is a 55 foot high mural "Ascension" by Todd Siler.
The Palazzo Verdi is located at 6401 South Fiddler's Green Circle in Greenwood Village with the public artworks officially on display come November 11th 2008. - KLH

The Denver Art Museum's "Untitled" series might not have drawn the crowds of First Friday on Santa Fe, but the events—held on the last Friday of the month for the past year—were well thought out and filled with DJs, theatre (courtesy of the folks from Buntport) and of course art. While the series is on hiatus until next April, the museum will still be open until 10:00 pm on Fridays, but unfortunately due to budget cuts, only the Hamilton building will be available, no Ponti (aka "the North building") browsing for you. Be sure to stop in and check out the outstanding Daniel Richter show
currently on display and beat the inevitable crowds that will swamp the exhibit come Saturday's Colorado resident free day. - KLH

Katie Taft with filmmaker Scott Banning - photo by Ken Hamel/DenverArts.org
Local artist Katie Taft had a steady Tuesday evening gig presenting artist talks at Double Daughters back in 06/07 but took a well deserved rest from the weekly grind to focus on other projects. Taft is back with a new series of artist talks, again on Tuesday evenings but this time around the frequency is monthly and the venue has been ad hoc. October's Action Figure was local filmmaker and musician Scott Banning who presented current work to an SRO crowd at Abecedarian Gallery on Santa Fe Drive (where he also has a series of still images from his films on display as part of the "Modest in Scale" exhibit currently on display.)
Banning is an old school film addict who spent years collecting obsolete 16mm films and projectors from library and school auctions, and professes to have somewhere between 400 and 500 pounds of various footage in his stash. In addition to 16mm, Banning has also spent time with Super 8 and admited to an affinity for old Tri-x film stock which has a distinctive patina of shifting grain. And while 3 of the films certainly exhibited that Tri-x look—swimming patterns of dots in a high contrast black and white world—the final work "Princess (Phagocytosis)" featured luscious abstract textures created by spraying his found footage with chemical solvents resulting in visual music akin to the Stan Brakhage songbook. Banning created "Princess" by aiming 2 projectors onto a single screen and then capturing the composite image with a digital video camera; unfortunately the toxic brew used to modify the stock footage caused it to disintegrate which is a shame as it would have been a real joy to see actual film on the big screen.
The evening was an even balance of film and music, as Banning—through his musical project Itchy-O—composed and performed all of the soundtracks for the four films presented. Itchy-O will be at the Hi-Dive in January '09 and seeing that Banning admitted he can never perform without having film/video as part of the act, you can be sure that you'll get a chance to see some of his visual creations.
The next Action Figure artist talk on Tuesday December 16th will feature Nathan Abels and will be held at "The Shoppe" on East Colfax. Click here for a snippet on Abels show at Sliding Door Gallery earlier this year, and look out for his next show at Rule Gallery opening in November. - KLH

Jeff Koons "Sacred Heart (Red/Gold)" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC - photo by Ken Hamel/DenverArts.org
Jeff Koons has certainly matured: the young artist who earned praise and notoriety by suspending basketballs within large fish tanks has produced a stunning collection of high chromium stainless steel sculptures on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The works have the signature Koons pop art kitch, however the high gloss coatings create an incredible depth to the pieces, almost op-art like in complexity. And with the rooftop setting at the Met, the pieces are transformed into something hypnotic, especially "Coloring Book" which seems like some kind of perverse fata morgana staring you in the face yet disappearing into the Manhattan skyline at the same time.
Click here for some pictures of the works on display
And if you can't make it out to NYC, Ron Judish's Gallery T will be kicking off on Santa Fe Drive this November with an inaugural show featuring prints by Koons.

Christo - "Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado" - 1999
Christo and Jeanne-Claude's latest major project will be close to home: "Over the River" will feature miles of fabric suspended over the Arkansas River near Salida. The date continues to push out (2012 is the latest ETA) as the artists' tackle the plethora of hurdles that have become de rigueur for the large scale outdoor installations which have made them famous throughout the world. We are very lucky to have a world class retrospective of the artists' work right here in Denver at the Center for Visual Art in LoDo, however if you can't get enough Christo, make a trek to DC where the exhibit "Over the River: A Work in Progress" opened last week at the Phillips Collection, on display until February 12, 2009. - KLH

Swimming Pool at Daniel Libeskind's Swiss "Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre"
Pointy edges? check... Prone to expensive repairs? likely... Vertigo inducing interior space? absolutely... Daniel Libeskind, the architect behind the Denver Art Museum's eclectic 2006 addition, extends his portfolio with a new Belmar style mall on the outskirts of Bern, Switzerland. The quasi-urban "Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre" opened earlier this week and includes "55 shops, 10 restaurants and bars, hotel, multiplex cinema, fun bath with wellness and fitness center and senior residency." Let's hope the commercial establishments that will inhabit the new mall have a good stomach for the maintenance headaches that Libeskind's unconventional (yet inevitably endearing) design has wrought on the DAM.

Damien Hirst - "St Sebastian, Exquisite Pain" detail
I have been following the news of Damien Hirst's massive sculpture "St Sebastian, Exquisite Pain" which features a black calf suspended in formaldehyde and pierced by arrows and will be on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver beginning October 7th alongside 3 other works by the controversial artist. When I saw in the press release that the piece weighs over 15,000 pounds, my first thought was, how are they going to get it into the building (and will the floor collapse under the stress)?
Well, the Dallas based Goss-Michael Foundation—from where the work is on loan for this exhibit—has a nice blog post with a variety of photos showing the installation process.
Another website focusing on the Texas art scene glasstire.com, has an interesting interview with British art collector Kenny Goss of the Goss-Michael Foundation, the "Michael" being pop star and Goss' boyfriend George Michael, who bought St. Sebastian for $7 million US: Goss-Michael Foundation: Yes-Saying and Saying Yes in Dallas. From the interview:
Goss and Michael have announced the establishment of the Goss-Michael Foundation of Dallas, an omnibus art institution with the goal of teaching Americans about contemporary British art. The effort includes the gallery, an art collection, a philanthropic organization, offices for art consultation, an artist lecture series and an artist residency.

Well, as a dedicated Ikea fanatic, there's nothing better than being proved wrong and Ikea has announced plans to open a Denver store in Centennial. Expect to see the Ikea touch in galleries and artists' studios throughout the metro area within weeks of the grand opening, which is still TBD. - KLH

Designing Women of Postwar Britain
Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
September 20, 2008 – January 25, 2009
Lucienne Day, Calyx, 1951
Designing Women of Postwar Britain: Their Art and the Modern Interior is an exhibition of works by three influential female artists, which will be displayed in the Fine Arts Center's El Pomar Gallery.
The art of textile design radically changed after World War II. Three women artists working in England in the 1950s were pivotal in this artistic revolution. The drab days of the War were suddenly washed with the light of the fresh, progressive designs by Lucienne Day, Marian Mahler and Jacqueline Groag.
Original artist designs with bold abstract patterns, inspired by Modern artists like Alexander Calder and Joan Miró, as well as the use of dramatic saturated color marked a dramatic departure from England’s conventional notions of interior fabric design. Designing Women showcases the stunning geometric and abstract designs of the three leaders with furnishing fabrics, hand-towels, and dishware in varied sizes and colors.
Day changed the direction of furnishing fabrics with her 1951 design, Calyx. The revolutionary design, introduced at the Festival of Britain, captured the spirit of the era and subsequently received the coveted International Design Award of the American Institute of Decorators.
Home Interiors
In the span of 20 years after World War II (1945-1965), Britain was transformed from a nation devastated by war to an affluent consumer society. This new prosperity became evident in the modernization and stylization of home interiors. Works by designers such as Day, Groag and Mahler made art accessible to the general consumer, contributing to the country’s spirit of renewal and defining a historical turning point in the development of international textile design.
Textiles were a crucial component of the domestic interior during this time, with new furnishings adorning the home with the vibrancy of beautiful textiles. Art and design came together to change the direction of the modern design industry worldwide. Britain held a preeminent position in textile design as home to leading manufacturers, wholesale firms, and many inventive and creative young designers like Day, Groag and Mahler. Their new genre of dynamic, abstract and whimsical works transformed the market by inspiring new product lines that were elegant and artistic, yet affordable. The distinct and innovative style of the works created by these women is still relevant to contemporary domestic interiors.
Exhibit curators Tariana Navas-Nieves and Shanna Shelby draw from the Denver collection of Jill A. Wiltse and H. Kirk Brown III, whose passion for this unique area of design showcases rare and hard to find patterns.

Jeanne-Claude and Christo lecture at the Buell Theatre - photo by Ken Hamel/DenverArts.org
In the pantheon of artists who are American household names, there are few: Warhol, Pollock... and of course Christo, who—along with his partner and artistic collaborator Jeanne-Claude—is known as the artist that wraps things: Pont Neuf over Paris' River Seine, Berlin's Reichstag, trees in Switzerland, islands off Key Biscayne, the list goes on. As part of the Center for Visual Art's current exhibit highlighting the environmental artists' sublime installations (Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Prints and Objects - on display until November 1st), the world renown duo gave a public lecture to an audience of hundreds at the Buell Theater on September 18th covering their career from when the artists met in Paris back in 1958 to their present day projects.
The perfunctory technical difficulties that seem to reliably mar public lectures accompanied by slides brought out the wit of Jeanne-Claude, who worked the crowd and killed time until the presentation was ready, and made no secret of her disdain for the cliche that the artists' work is limited to wrapping objects. Jeanne-Claude rolled off the many projects that did not involve wrapping (such as California's Running Fence and Rifle, Colorado's Valley Curtain) yet the duo's excellent and thorough website at http://www.christojeanneclaude.net has no shortage of "wrapped" productions ("Wrapped Fountain and Tower," "Wrapped Kunsthalle," "Wrapped Monuments," "Wrapped Roman Wall," the list goes on...) Jeanne-Claude also went on to mention there are three things she never does: 1) Never flies together with Christo; 2) Never assists in the preparatory works of art Christo hand crafts for the various installations and 3) Never allows Christo "the joy and pleasure of working with our tax accountant."
Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the artists' work is that their very complex and expensive projects are totally funded by Christo's beautiful and detailed preparatory studies, pencil and collage artworks built up from maps and sketches, some small, and others quite epic in scale. Christo accepts no sponsorships in order to maintain complete control over the final work and the installation process; In fact, it's the process of getting permits that is the most difficult part of each work, but nonetheless is as integral to the artistic process as the ephemeral final presentation of the work itself.
The artists' also discussed their upcoming Colorado encore "Over the River," a series of fabric panels to be suspended over the Arkansas River, and discussed the process of designing the work which includes building scale models of the rigging that will eventually be used as part of the ultimate installation. The current ETA: July 2012 "at the earliest."

British artist Damien Hirst with "The Golden Calf" which sold for $18.6 million
Art world scourge Damien Hirst is known for controversy. Denver locals who took in the grand opening of the DAM's Hamilton Building were treating to a Hirst bull's head floating in a formaldehyde tank, and the Met in NYC played host to one of Hirst's massive preserved sharks. On Monday, Hirst set an art world record by selling $198 million worth of his artwork through a Sotheby's auction titled "Beautiful Inside My Head Forever," bypassing traditional gallery representation. I'm hoping some clever local rable rouser will host a mock auction of the 4 pieces that Hirst will have on display at the MCA Denver later this year. - KLH

The news that MCA Denver executive director and lead curator Cydney Payton was stepping down just one year into her tenure at the helm of the new David Adjaye designed building was a bit of a shock, and as part of finding a replacement, the museum announced last week that a search committee has been formed, chaired by MCA board president Mark Falcone, along with former board pres Karl Kister and trustees Alan Becker, Mardi Cannon, Mike Fries, Amy Harmon, and Scott Miller. Interested in applying? Well, the board will be assisted by an executive search firm focused on just this type of gig, so get your resume over to "Management Consultants for the Arts" before Payton's last day with the MCA on October 30th. - KLH
