As many of you know, Rachel Monosov is a TincaArt staple.  Her work fascinates and scares me at the same time.

Although I cannot pry my eyes away, looking directly, deeply, makes me question my understanding of my body as a woman, my role in society, and my status in the universe.

St Art saw much of the same magic in Monosov’s work.  Director Serge Trioche supported the Bunny Project and ensured its fruition.

The Process was a long one, taking over a month of work.  Rachel modeled for a sculptress every day for almost three weeks and the form came alive in clay.

Supported by a steel form, the details were decided:  making the calfs and feet that of a bunny, the size of the ears and the discreet the hairstyle.

Once it was perfect and an exact duplicate of Rachel’s body in every detail, the structure

Once it was perfect and an exact duplicate of Rachel’s body in every detail, the structure was broken apart in order to created the mold that could later be used to create multiple works.

 

 

Once the mold was formed and dried, the hollow sculpture was created.  Finding and building a pump that would move carrot juice from mouth to anus in an on-going cycle was yet another adventure that is better discovered over a cocktail.

September 14 – 18 schedule
Location: 2229 S. Halsted Street Chicago Urban Art Society
Festival Passes from $20 to $180 purchase

BEETHOVEN AS MAN AND MUSE

Contemporary Art and Film exhibit curated by Beethoven Festival 2011 Art Director Catinca Tabacaru buttresses 5 day and 5 nights of classical concerts performed by Chicago’s most renowned musicians.  The Festival presents the first collection of Beethoven Portraits in over 200 years and includes works by Amina Ahmed, Michael Cuffe, David J. Eichenberg, Carly Ivan Garcia, Ellen Gradman, Mostafa Heravi, Amy Hill, Edward J. Hines, Maya Kalabic, Hugh Leeman, Brian Leo, Danielle Lurie, Rachel Monosov, J. Thomas Pallas, Amir Parsa, Gail Stoicheff, Rhom and Anne Worbes.

CHICAGOInternational Beethoven Project (IBP) – the organization that brought the historic and critically acclaimed (Chicago Tribune, New York Times) Beethoven World Premiere to Chicago in 2009 – has again made Chicago its premiere location, this time for its newest project:  Beethoven Festival 2011. A radical new vision for presenting culture in both contemporary and historical contexts, Beethoven Festival 2011 is a five-day, multi-disciplinary celebration of the life, works and spirit of Ludwig van Beethoven through music and art.  To be presented in spectacular fashion at the edgy and acoustically superb CHICAGO URBAN ART SOCIETY from 4pm until 2am nightly, with many performances broadcast live on Chicago’s 98.7 WFMT radio.

The Festival features 70 musicians–performing over 80 pieces of music from 20 living composers, 12 contemporary artists, 5 filmmakers, 3 scholars, 2 actors and 1 poet.  Also featured are twenty new works for piano solo and music spanning 400 years –from baroque to rock, solo to orchestra, with plenty of Beethoven at center.  Food and Drink vendors will be on location to allow audiences to enjoy concerts with a glass in hand, in a home-like setting.

President and Artistic Director of IBP, George Lepauw, explains: “Few people get to experience the great master as he should be: a true radical in a radical setting.  Beethoven was a rebel who broke all the rules of musical and societal conventions, changing forever the world of art and the rights of the artist. He was the first modernist. Thus we are challenging all the rules of classical music programming, in honor of Beethoven’s spirit of defiance and experimentation, with the goal of inspiring artists and audiences to be fearless, visionary and always hopeful. Ultimately this project is not really about music, or art, but about humanity and bringing people together around memorable and beautiful sights and sounds.”

Beethoven Festival CALLS for submissions

THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL
CHICAGO
SEPTEMBER 8-18, 2011
Submissions are OPEN until August 15, 2011.

The International Beethoven Project (IBP), a Chicago-based not-for-profit cultural, social and educational enterprise is calling for portraits and film submissions for the 2011 Beethoven Festival. The Festival is open to artists of all genders and nationalities.

Subject Matter: Beethoven’s music and artistic vision, as well as his unyielding sense of self as an artist and humanist, have shaped the creative community for generations across all disciplines.  While the Festival aims to promote the music of Beethoven by educating people about Beethoven’s output and life, it is predicated on the belief that art is interconnected and that categorizing often ends in separation. Through its mixture of music, art and film, the Festival takes down the barriers between these mediums, in a bid to promote connectivity across the arts and to connect history with the present.  Artists are invited to submit pieces inspired by Beethoven’s existing portraits, his compelling life story and his revolutionary music.  The aim is to challenge traditional perceptions and become a relevant part of the debate on the meaning of art, inspiration, and the power of creativity on shaping a better world today.  The goal is for people to step into the Festival and be awed, inspired, provoked and challenged into rethinking Beethoven, music, art and the future of our creative world!

Portrait Submission: Portraits must depict Beethoven, although flexibility in interpretation is encouraged.  Please send bio, contact information, image(s), title, size, medium, market price and artist statement to info@tincaart.com.  For more information on Beethoven and his existing portraits, films, bibliography, etc., please visit InternationalBeethovenProject.com

Film Submissions:  Films must be no more than 5 minutes in length and incorporate Beethoven’s music.  Please send bio, contact information, YouTube or Vimeo link, title, length and artist statement to info@tincaart.com.

RAW Art Gallery & TincaArt collaboration

presented by THE   UPTOWN in Oakland, CA
Curated by Carly Ivan Garcia
Featuring current works by:

Rachel Monosov, Renee Castro and Alexandra Garcia.

This special event is in collaboration with the Oakland School of the Arts and will also showcase student works.  It’s a great opportunity to see Northern California’s up and coming artists!

Carly Ivan Garcia’s Solo

Carly Ivan Garcia is on fire, grabbing a hold of the art world by the horns! In the last few years he has redefined his genre, whether you call it modern, neoism, or abstract expressionism, Driftwood Salon presents him to you simply as “Citizen Garcia.”  His unique brand of nonconformist art has been gaining national attention while landing him new collectors across the country, particularly during “New York’s Armory week” and at “Art Basel Miami Beach.” He’s been featured in top art publications including Juxtapose Magazine, Warholian, and Dig In Mag, and has even landed ten paintings as the main focal point of the new film Touching Home, starring Ed Harris, . In between all that, he’s been raising money for charities like Womens Voices Now, as well as curating and promoting huge art events all over California’s Bay Area. Garcia has gained worldwide attention in a very short amount of time. How does he do it? For him it’s simple; he brings everything he has to the table everyday of his life.

In his own words:

I like to challenge the boundaries of art and my own boundaries of comfort. Freedom of expression! Even today my best work results from me pushing myself further and constantly developing and evolving my neo-abstract style. My work is personal and I wish for the viewer to develop their own individual experience with each of my pieces. Some can find it incredibly personal and connect it to events going on in their lives. Provocative art should especially foster debate. The very nature of art is intertwined and inseparable from freedom of expression.

We are extremely proud to announce his first solo exhibit here in San Francisco.

Please join us on Saturday, May 14th, from 6pm-11pm, and help us welcome Mr. Garcia. This show will run until June 11th and will feature all new works by the avant garde artist including oil paintings on canvas and panel, works in paper, a floor mural, and limited edition prints of one of his works. For more information, please visit carlyivangarcia.com or driftwoodsalon.com.

Tinca Art and the RAW Art Gallery Exhibit

May 6-8, 2011

Opening Reception: Friday, May 6, 2011, 6-9 pm @ Uptown Gallery, 1951 Telegraph Avenue (corner of 20th Street)
during the Oakland Art Murmur|First Friday Art Walk

Open Hours: May 7th and 8th, 12-5pm
Co-curated by neo-abstract artist Carly Ivan Garcia and the online media manager at High Fructose magazine – new contemporary art, Ken Harman.

For the first time in 2011, the RAW art gallery exhibit will re-open its doors to the Oakland, CA community to present the most internationally elite and emerging artists gathered from coast to coast. Visual artistry and lively libations are sure to impress and inspire all weekend long ad curators Carly Ivan Garcia and Ken Harman go to great measures to ensure that each artist invited to participate reflects either the rich diversity of Oakland and its hub-like function for artists around the country.  It is “worth a look out” according to Juxtapoz art and culture online magazine.

Featured Artists

Brian Leo is a NYC-based artist who works within the language of present day visual culture.  Leo creates a tangible and overwhelming visual conversation, accurately presenting the warped and whimsical bombardment that is contemporary American Life. Cartoon-like subject matter, referencing individual identity, pop culture, and current event are juxtaposed and re-contextualized to form surrealistic icons of disposal. The psychological tug of these paintings reveals the Surrealist underpinnings of Leo’s endeavor. 

Greg Gossel has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and abroad including in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Milan, and London.  His work is an expressive interplay of many diverse words, images and gestures.  Gossel’s multi-layered work illustrates a visual history of change and process throughout each piece. His art offers a commentary on American culture and through collage and silk-screen imagery combines unexpected elements. Gossel does not have a prescribed interpretation for his audience to embrace. Rather, he invites viewers who confront his work to contemplate the range of meanings related to a highly commercialized society in which each of us is bombarded with a vast number of corporate messages, brand identities, and invitations to consume.

Carly Ivan Garcia is a Bay area native best known for his neo-abstract expressionist paintings which play heavily on color and a barrage of dreamlike imagery. Garcia’s style has been often referred to as “the next evolution of contemporary expressionism.” Garcia feels that his thick textures and mixed media give him artistic license to challenge the boundaries of contemporary art and produce work that is loyal to the specific creative language he seeks. “Currently I find myself drawn to large scale canvases that give me more space to play with perspective, suggestion and composition. In the details of line, color and subject matter, my paintings stimulate and *pop* – drawing the viewer in to find something new each time he or she looks at a piece. It is an intense visual experience and inner journey.”

Greg Haberny uses a heavily worked technique of cutting, scraping, affixing and the makeshift repair of painted and found elements to create and recreate the evidence of damage. Despite the work’s fierce bravado, there remains a perceptible sense of hope for transformation, witnessed in the artist’s attention to detail and a focus on creating miniature stories within each piece. As one might tenderly sew up a rough wound, the artist discloses his methods of working through pain to arrive at healing. Each highly-crafted tableau serves dual function as document and warning, perhaps with the unspoken desire for a future beyond “nothing.”

More RAW artists: Shepard Fairey, Rob Servo, Ali Garcia, Allie Morran, Amanda Padilla, Anne Herrero, Anthony Davis, Billi Kid (NY), Conor Burns, Relek, Daniel Chimowitz, Dave Tree, David Young V, Derek Weisberg, Emily Meghan Morrow Howe, Eve Skylar, AQ, Hugh Leeman, Jet Martinez, Joe Geraghty, Karina Ramirez, Lyrica Glory, Mike Cuffe, Megan Wolfe, Nicholas Greenwood, Vogue One, Rachel Monosov, Ramekon O’Arwisters, Robert Bowen, Robert D.
