ART NEWS & NOTES

Contemporary Art
at the Shelburne Museum
Shelburne Museum announced their summer line up that will include two contemporary art exhibits. In “Longoland: It May Be Contagious” at the Kalkin House, Brooklyn plush artist Joshua Longo transforms Adam Kalkin’s shipping container house into an imaginative environment inhabited by quirky and cuddly plush animals and furniture inspired by Longo’s playful and off kilter take on the ordinary. At the Vermont House, “Design Rewind: The Origins of Innovation” traces the lineage of contemporary consumer products back to their 18th and 19th century design roots. The exhibition juxtaposes works from the Museum’s extensive decorative arts collection with contemporary pieces by Jason Miller, Tord Boontje, Herman Miller, Hella Jongerius and others. May 18th, when the Museum reopens for the season, can’t come soon enough.

Busy Busy at Pine Street Art Works
Liza Cowan at Pine Street Art Works is moving and shaking these days. Nakki Goranin’s American Photobooth got a mention in the February 18th issue of People Magazine. Congratulations to both Nakki & Liza!

In other news, Pine Street Art Works is set to curate the art at Healthy Living Natural Foods gorgeous new store at 222 Dorset Street. Shows will change every two months or so.

In Residence by Yann Novak
In Residence is the result of three residencies Novak attended in 2007. At his residency at Kasini House in Burlington, Novak composed and performed an Old North End soundscape which is included on this release along with works done at the Espy Foundation in Oysterville and the Satsop Cooling Tower in Elma, both in Washington. In In Residence, Novak pushes his process to the limit by abstracting his source materials beyond recognition. The result is a lonely world with distant sounds passing by the listener. The entire piece quivers with anticipation. In Residence is forty-three minutes and is available on 5” CD-R. The edition is limited to 250. The price is $15 and is available at Kasini House Artshop.

Le Serviette Noir Returns to Gallery 180
Bruce MacDonald’s Le Serviette Noir is a crowning achievement in his exploration of stainless steel wall light sculptures. This 25”x 41” piece was featured at A-forest Gallery (New York City) and Holly Hunt (Washington, DC). Gallery 180 is thrilled to have this piece back to highlight the new collection of Bruce MacDonald’s stainless and fired copper wall panels.

Black Horse is Moving
The venerable downtown fine art supply store is moving up to Williston Road and becoming Black Horse Fine Art Supply & Canvas Company. The new store will be at 1197 Williston Road next to the Frame Game (four doors from Al’s French Fry). The ground floor location will double in size and feature an expanded supply of rolled canvas including Belgian Linen. You can check out the new location in late March, and keep an eye out for a new website around April 1st and a Grand Opening in June. www.black-horse.com
