Please excuse me, Mr. Tomato

Please excuse my lost whereabouts, for I am trying to figure out what I’m doing.  In the completely crazy schedule and Extreme Makeover: Life Edition that my wife is calling my life the past few months (in a great way), I seem to have forgotten to write a post last week about the great things happening at the Collector’s Art Night at 5th Avenue last Saturday and the always fun Hillsboro Village Art Walk last Thursday too.  Please forgive me for I was busy moving in, painting, designing, and meeting with authors all weekend to start East Side Story on time for this next week’s Tomato Art Fest, Saturday, August 11th.

In forgetting to write anything last week, I also missed out on a chance to meet up with Geoffrey Aldridge, an artist and part of Nashville’s COOP Gallery, and seeing Nikki Painter’s latest work.  Painter, who is from Richmond, VA and currently shows with Civilian Projects in DC, uses architectural imagery to pose several psychological issues within her artwork.  All in all, I look forward to seeing it this month and you should as well.

Not trying to miss out on everything this week, you should drop by the Zieher Smith Pop Up Storefront in the bottom of ICON in the Gulch (600 12th Avenue South) this Tuesday, August 7th, at 5:15 pm.  It’s there you will discover, collect, and learn about art online and in unconventional spaces.  You’ll need to RSVP at info@abcnashville.org to join in the fun with drinks and a special panel conversation beside the week long exhibition featuring 20 international artists working in a variety of two-dimensional media.

Noteworthy of mentioning a week ahead of schedule, I present to you the Watkins College of Art, Design & Film and Hatch Show Print presenting “Paint It Black” exhibit for the Rolling Stones’ 50th Anniversary.  The gallery show begins August 10th, and the reception will be August 23rd, but there will be original letterpress posters by Watkins Graphic Design students celebrating the Rolling Stones’ 50 year career being shown in the Brownlee O. Currey Jr., Gallery on campus.  How cool is that?!

But something just as cool (maybe not temperature wise) is the weekend event happening this coming weekend on Saturday, August 11th, in East Nashville’s 5 Points area.  That’s right, it’s time for the best festival around, the annual Tomato Arts Festival!  All day long you will find a plethora of art, vendors, contests of all sorts, food, live music, and basically everything fun and cool you could ever imagine all in one walking distance location.  The Tomato 5k starts at 7am and I believe that Todd Snider and friends will take the stage into the night around 9pm with the most fun you can have in August and in public happening in between.  Oh, did I mention that we are opening our bookstore, East Side Story, that day at our first location ever at 1108 Woodland Street, Unit B?  Well, I just did.

Now spread the word around and see you soon!  I have to get back to my Extreme Makeover: Life Edition before I forget to do some other things I need to do.  Please excuse me for my haste and I hope you enjoy and share the above with others.  If anything, like us on Facebook!

much love,

Sneezing (bless mE) and Falling into Spring forward

Yet again I am getting hit in the face and on my car with fresh pollen in the air. Some of you reading this won’t care (not that you don’t care about me), but those who fight the same allergic warfare that I fare every year … you will appreciate the current circumstances of seasonal change. But regardless if you are having trouble breathing on your own or not, I have a few artistic things on my mind today that might just take your breath away (insert inner voice singing Top Gun at your own risk).

First, I know it is last minute and all but it’s not too late for you and yours to take advantage of the one and only Lindatwist Spring Jewelry Sale on its final days still available. Linda Hobdy from Twisted Sisters Art is practically giving away her favorite latest creations. Most have already sold quickly, but this is the last week that she’s added some new ones. To view all available go to www.etsy.com/shop/Lindatwist and then enter the coupon code LTSPRING2012 when you make the online purchase to receive a 15% discount plus FREE shipping! Let all of that put a smile on your face now. The sale is good through tomorrow, March 21st … so what are you waiting for?

Then, fast-forward to Friday, March 23rd, and take advantage of two great events happening at two places. First up, stroll on over to Watkins College of Art, Design & Film to check out the kick off reception in a series of six Senior Thesis Exhibitions showing from March 23rd-May 12th. This Friday, photography majors Cristin Durning and Brandon Daniel Greer are first in the series to display their works in the Currey Gallery. There will be a reception FREE and open to the public from 6-9pm to celebrate the beginning of this wonderful series showcasing 13 graduating students in the Fine Art and Photography departments. This will be the first of four shows total with receptions staged each leg of the way. And secondly, this same Friday, March 23rd, at 6:30pm, at the Frist Center Auditorium, it is first come, first seated, and FREE for all to come and listen to next lecture of “State of the Art at the Frist.” This Friday, Maxwell Anderson, Ph.D, will be on site to explore how museums must adapt to stay in step with the ever-changing public landscapes, interests, and how changes in technology have challenged cultural organizations to increase their online presence. It will be in interested conversation to hear and be a part of before heading over to the always fun Music in the Lobby that is also FREE from 6-8pm.

Which leads me to Saturday, March 24th, and another double dose of fun for the weekend. First up, visit Cheekwood’s botanical gardens. Staring this Saturday and showing through May 13th, Cheekwood proudly presents French artist Mathilde Roussel’s Anatomia Botanica on its grounds. The exhibition explores the seasonal nature of life. Roussel is Cheekwood’s inaugural Martin Shallenberger Artist-in-Residence and one of the features of her installation is two Lifes of Grass sculptures that will grow and sprout on site! Simply fascinating stuff I must type so myself. Then, after you spend a day at Cheekwood, plan your night accordingly so you won’t miss out on Untitled Artist Group’s Spring Show: Spring Roll over at 5th and Main. This Saturday, from 6-10pm, Untitled and Turnip Green Creative Reuse are coming together to showcase incredible artists that have donated work to raise funds for Turnip Green. There will be loads of great art, make-it and take-it booths where you can get your own creative projects going with the artists’ help, and DJ Get Better will be on site to spin tunes and allergic frowns upside down all night. Did I mention there will be LIVE art created during the show that will also be auctioned to benefit both organizations? Yeah, I just did. The event is FREE to attend, but bring some green of your own to buy the goods before they’re gone.

That is all for now. See you soon!

Much love,

chUck

On a moment’s notice … literally

Hello again my friends.  I’m sorry for the last minute shout but tis the week and my schedule to tell you about what is going on around town.  I won’t waste your time.Tonight, I repeat … TONIGHT, over at Watkins College of Art, Design, & Film, you catch the Watkins 2011-12 Visiting Artists Series Kick Off shindig.  Tonight, with a reception at 6pm and a lecture following at 6:30pm in the Watkins Theater, the Mexican Printmaker Artemio Rodriguez will be available to sign prints and books after his presentation.  Rodriguez is a contemporary artist whose bold black and white graphic works are rooted in the long tradition of Mexican printmaking.  It will be quite fantastico!Tomorrow, Friday, November 18th, be sure to check out the FristCenter’s showing of the “Femme Fatale” Film Series: Double Indemnity.  Inspired by the current exhibition of Tracey Snelling’s “Woman on the Run,” this 1944 classic with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck making their way through out aCalifornia of shady streets, supermarkets, and stucco houses.  Sound familiar?  The movie is FREE with seating being first come, first served in the Auditorium and it begins at 7pm.

Also Friday, November 18th, you can stop by LeQuire Gallery in Green Hills from 5-7pm for the opening reception for local legend Franne Lee’s latest works of art.  Franne Lee, artist, is an exhibition that will be filled with every aspect of Franne’s delightful imagination.  Because everything artistic with Franne is always so fantastical and creative, I really can’t tell you anything about it other than it will amaze you.  All I can say for sure is that it all will be exhibited through December and you should stop by to check it out.

Then, this Saturday, November 19th, marks the perfect time to drop byBryantGalleryto bypass the holiday rush just around the corner.  That’s right, The Christmas Show is starting. BryantGallery, starting November 19th, from noon-5pm, will be presenting 20+ artists showing work suitable for gift giving of any holiday occasion.  It is a bit early, but it might just be the perfect time to get exactly what you want if you are looking for something totally original, priced reasonable, and made locally.

And speaking of something fun going on throughout the entire weekend ahead, you definitely need to know about the weekend of fun to be had at Cheekwood.  On Saturday, November 19th, at the ‘Kids Corral’ from 10am-2pm, kids of all ages can make western-inspired art and craft projects, pioneer crafts and frontier games.  There will be guided tours at 10am and 1pm.  At noon there will be a demonstration and ‘fly by’ by S.O.A.R (Save Our American Raptors). And then on Sunday, November 20th, from 1-3pm, there will be live music by the Craig Duncan Cowboy Duo and a guided tour to boot.

Also Sunday, November 20th, back at the Frist Center is Artful Tales: “Never Rush to Judgment: The Mongoose and the Snake.”  Back in the Auditorium and FREE; first come, first served again, Artful Tales is a monthly interactive family program that combines the oral tradition of storytelling with hands on art-making activities to explore the stories and cultures mentioned from around the world.  This month’s story about the mongoose derives from an Indian folktale.  This program is part of theFristCenter’s wildly successful Connecting Cultures exhibition.  And to top all the above off, Monday, November 21st is Senior Monday at theFristCenterfrom 10am-5:30pm.  Seniors receive half-price admission, free admission for them if you bring a canned food item for Second Harvest Food Bank, and discounts galore in the gift shop and café surrounded by live music from the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s prived by Snappy Pappy from 12:30-1:30pm.

That is all … back to the grind and loving it.

Thanks for dropping by again.

As you were, busy but happy.

much love,

chUck

ps- Before I forget about the best thing around combining books and art this weekend around town, you need to know that local artist Jeff Bertrand is having a “Turn the Page” (a Yeoman’s Book show) show this Saturday, November 21^st, from 6:30-8pm at Yeoman’s in the Fork (4216 Old Hillsboro Road, Franklin, TN  37064).  Bertrand is back to giving some old books new life and a new look by creating art on and in the covers and pages while exploring methods of his creative depth.  He has incorporated paint, photos, skeleton keys and colored thread to add to the overall feeling of the works.  It is truly remarkable work as always if you ask me.  Don’t miss out!

Do you remember Earth, Wind and Fire in September!?

 

It’s not quite the heat of summer or the bitter cold of the winter.  September is not only the start of REAL football, for me it is when nature turns on itself and transforms green leaves into natural art outdoors.  Funny thing is, the Nashville art scene is turning over and transforming in its own right beginning from the very start of this September.

So with kind haste without wasting your time, we’ll jump right in.  One major thing happening this Thursday, September 1st, is all about Nashville Arts Magazine.  On Thursday, Nashville Arts Magazine will launch a brand new website that will provide comprehensive and instant daily news and reviews of the city’s vivacious art scene.  ArtNowNashville.com will provide and publish much needed overnight reviews from everything art including symphony, opera, jazz, dance and theatre performances alongside reviews on all of the visual arts and film scenes.  Nashville Arts Magazine is not stopping what they are already doing with its monthly in depth look at the Nashville art world, they just wanted to expand on what they are already doing. Another epic thing happening this Thursday, September 1st is going down at Zeitgeist Gallery.  It is where two internationally known artists (who both studied art in college in various TN college and universities respectively) will have a joint opening reception from 5-8pm.  Me simply writing that both Kurt Wagner and Wayne White will be there as well should pretty much say it all, or at least it should give you all the reasons you need to get your butt over to Zeitgeist that opening night.  For everyone that a child of the 80’s, you might remember that Wayne White nearly single-handedly created the backdrop for great childhood memories we all look back on so fondly.  Specifically, White is the Chattanooga, MTSU grad, native that took his love for illustrating and puppeteering and created a world like no other.  White was the brainchild behind the oober-creative designs for the hit television show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.  Yeah, I said it, but White did it!  White has gone on to also do legendary work in music videos (my favorite was Smashing Pumpkins “Tonight, Tonight”) and all other forms of media.  For the past few years, he has been most recognizable for his works with ‘word paintings’.  Last year, my wife and I felt honored by White’s presence and talk about his life-long journey through art while visiting Watkins here in Nashville.  It was there where we were able to talk with him in person, thank him for his work and for sharing his experiences, and have him sign a copy of his huge book that chronicles the path of his artistic career up to the present time period.  If you drop by Zeitgeist Gallery for the opening reception on Thursday, September 1st, from 5-8pm, you can do the same thing!  Need I say more?

I might not need to, but I shall.  Again, also on Thursday, the first of the month, just down the street from Zeitgeist Gallery is the Hillsboro Village Art Walk.  Also from 5-8pm, there are a plethora of receptions, shows, and events hosted by various locales located in Hillsboro Village.  The long list made short, here are a few spotlights in that neck of the woods I think I might just have to check out.  The Raffle giveaway will take place at the Belcourt Theater, Jeff Bertrand will have work at Clothing Xchange, Wendi Strauch Mahoney will be showing at SEE EYEWEAR, Brian Nash will showcase at Provence, Colleen Wandel will be at Fire Finch, Brad Keen is at Pangaea, Candice Sone is at Retropolitan, Casey Pierce and David Hellam will be showing at Fido through September 13th, Micah Smith and Ashley Owens are over at Hot & Cold beside some lovely snacks, and I’m definitely not going to forget about Sarah Shearer’s latest showing at Rodney Mitchell Salon.

It kinda sounds like Thursday is Saturday this coming week, but don’t be mistaken … it’s just a mega-fun Thursday.  The first Saturday of the month will again be like another first Saturday of the month.  Because it is a holiday weekend and I’m also celebrating my second wedding anniversary with my all-time favorite artist (efharper), SHOUT-OUT, I will save most of the descriptions of the newest exhibitions opening around town for next week.  But before I log and run off, I will give you a little teaser.  If you are around downtown this coming Saturday, September 3rd, I suggest that you mosey on over to The Arts Company to check out Charles Keiger’s “Inside Out: New Paintings” and also COOP’s September exhibition of work by Dawn Cerny over at The Arcade, Space 75.  If you meander to either place on Saturday night alongside the First Saturday Art Crawl from 6-9pm, then you are sure to see a lot of other amazing new art at such places as Twist, Blend, Estel, Rymer, Tinney, and everywhere else that I’ll type about the next time you read this.

Until then, be well, be safe, and be kind to one another.  Art, like life, is what you make of it.  I find it easier and happier to appreciate it than being too much of a critic.  Talk amongst yourselves and enjoy your day.

much love,

chUck

Ahhh, there’s a gust of art in the air

Yes, I went there yet again. Some of you might be chuckling just a bit with my clever word play that I throw at your eyes every now and then. The rest of you who aren’t laughing are probably just mad at your dad or something. Regardless of laughter or no laughter, you should be super stoked of the fact that August has arrived and the next few weeks of events are about to happen.  At least I know I am.

To begin this month, let me remind you about a certain short movie made by local geniuses that I wrote briefly about last week. The movie is called “Mr. Wonderful” and click HEREto see it in its 7 plus minute entirety. If you want to see more about the movie and/or the people that helped Brandon Gnetz make it, you can see still shots and other tidbits at www.mrwonderfulthemove.com.  Side note, if you are feeling like today is a good day to watch another classy short film from the same festival, by all means click HERE to see an instant classic called “Shrink Wrapped” made by Oscar Zezatti and friends and click HERE to see “Poppyseed Ave.” made by Allie Sultan and 15 young animation students who had never made a single film before.

To begin this week, let me tell you about a stellar performance that you shouldn’t miss if in the neighborhood …The Bluebird Café neighborhood that is. Tuesday, August 2, from 9pm-midnight, the local legend Fred Wilhelm will be sharing the stage with his friends Walker Hayes, Dave Turnbull, Tim James, and guests. Be Fred’s guest and show up to hear some of the best music thatMusicCity has to offer. And for that you can thank me later.

Speaking of later in the week, I’d like to help spread the news about the children who are our future. Specifically, I’d like to mention that this Thursday, August 4th, from 5-8pm, Hillsboro Village will the hottest spot in town for all the art you can handle (darn near too hot to handle to type you the truth actually). In accordance to the Hillsboro Village Art Walk and its Hawaiian Luau, students from Watkins College of Art, Design & Film that recently participated in a 3-week intensive summer program for highly-motivated high school students will be showing their art at Clothing Xchange. Ugly Lovely will DJ the event and there will be a limbo contest starting at 5:30pm where the winner walks away with a $50 gift certificate. Not only will there be music and mula, “Craftville” will be at Clothing Xchange and A Village of Flowers making Hawaiian leis for the guests (Leis at Clothing Xchange will be made from recycled fabric and the ones at A Village of Flowers will be made from real flowers). On top of said fun above, Eakin Elementary will have a table in front of the action to collect school supplies and donations for students who are enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Also on the Hillsboro Art Walkradar, you can check out some of the following treats:Terilynn Bartlett’s “Hella TL” vintage swimsuits and Mia McMahan’s “The Rabbit in the Moon” jewelry at Fire Finch, Casey Pierce and David Hellams’ eclectic and surreal artwork at FIDO, and the creative soul of Jodi Reeves’ latest art found at Pangaea that is always sure to uplift your spirits.

And then came Friday night. With the start of the first weekend of the month downtown, every gallery will be hopping, every spectator will be spectating, and every art vulture will be drinking their fair share of free wine and eating any snack that’s on the table (another full-length piece in itself for later). But on a bright note about Friday, August 5th, it is the next Collectors Art Night. From 5:30-8pm, The Arts Company and The Rymer Gallery will be presenting intimate and insightful art talks by photographer John Nikolai(at The Arts Company at 6pm) who will speaking about his personal collection of rare Andy Warhol artwork (have I mentioned that you need to go to the Frist Center to see their Warhol exhibition yet?) and the artist Charles Clary (atThe Rymer Gallery at 6:45pm). If you wish to attend, pleaseRSVP to 5thAvenueOfTheArts@gmail.com. Over atTinney Contemporary, the wine and hors d’oeuvres begin at7 pm and the Artist Talks begin at 7:15 pm (as usual, you’ll need to RSVP to sarah@tinneycontemporary.com). The featured artists are painter Claire b Cotts and celebrity photographer Raeanne Rubenstein.

Saturday night, August 6th, will have all of the galleries and stores within The Arcade popping like no other. I will tell you right now that the party of all pARTies will be at Twist Art Gallery. They will not only have Todd Greene’s exhibition opening, but they are also celebrating their 5th birthday that night with cake. This is a well deserved celebratory mark for a very sweet place to show and view some of the most creative art around.

And just down the balcony from Twist, just before you reach Blend Studio (which will also be open at that time but I’ll give more of a shout in a couple of write-ups soon enough), you will be able to witness the newest art showing at the COOP gallery. Consisting of sculpture and installation, Alabama artist Erin Cunningham’s show titled “Elemental Topographies” is a stellar show that questions social perceptions of all sorts. I suggest you drop or pass by even for a moment to take a refreshing view at your own world.

Then, on Sunday, August 7th, you thought you were going to rest … but you can’t. You can’t rest quite yet because this Sunday marks the grand opening of Dustin Dirt Waltke’sexhibition titled “Mashed Potatoes and Manic Depression! An artshow by Dustin Dirt!” To be found and discovered by one and all at Octane! Art Gallery (1000 Main Street, East Nashville), Dustin has put aside his clean lines and nice monster images for the moment and run straight forward into inspirational, raw and messy compositions that capture the immediacy of pure emotion. Sound heavy? That’s because it is some of the heaviest, in the best of ways, craziest, in the best of ways, mysterious, in the most mysterious of ways, and more mind-bending than an Olympic gymnast who has 3 doctorates in Psychology art show that you will find opening anywhere around town on Sunday, August 7th, from 8-11pm at Octane! Art Gallery.

And with that I bid you good rest for next week’s atomic bomb of an art festival write-up to describe one of the best days of the year going down outside of Art & Invention Gallery in East Nashville. YEAH! I said it! The 2011 Tomato Art Fest is next week and just writing that much out here makes me want to take a nap to rest up and cool off so I can experience all that fruity fruit has to offer this year.

Anyways, be well to yourself and to others. Enjoy the day and make your own way.

much love,

chUck

Fireworks, face-painting, and balloon animals running amok

Oddly enough, the title above has nothing to do with this Saturday and any art event in Nashville that I am aware of as of yet for that matter. I know … I know. These are a few of my favorite things as well, and I’m sure we can find an after party with all that and mucho mas, but for my bang for the buck, you’ll be hard pressed to follow up a better schedule for your soul than starting your night on the Eastside, heading over the river for a little flood relief, and then having a nightcap back on the Eastside before dreaming of a better tomorrow. Welcome to my world.

Specifically, at 5:15pm (CST) on 5/15, the clouds will open, the numbers shall align, and the stars will shine directly down on one of my favorites, Studio East Nashville, for an exhibition of Myles Maillie’s recent work appropriately called 5:15. Two times in the past two years, I have witnessed such celebrations of Maillie’s colorful and ubiquitous work adorning the walls, shirts, ties, and everything else festive at Studio East in the midst of mariachi bands, bar-b-que, tacos, Pied Piper ice cream, popcorn, adult beverages, live DJ’s, and anything else that you could imagine at one location just shy of The Ringling Bros. I have received word that this Saturday will be equally as different and entertaining. From 5:15-9pm on Saturday, with an additional show on Sunday, May 16th, from 1-5pm at the same locale, come prepared to bring enough energy to get in beat and stay in tune with the ambiance that will be flooding into the streets from 1520 Woodland Street as Lionel Ritchie once sang, “All Night Long!”

Speaking of floods; don’t forget to remember all of those still affected from the most recent natural disaster that threatened to destroy our way of life in Middle Tennessee but truly made us all come together closer than ever before in order to help each other and declare that “We Are Nashville!” In layman’s terms, if you are in the mood to support the local visual artists and the flood victims stand tall and be proud of the work they call their livelihood, take the trip and spare whatever change you can this weekend to help support a lot of impeccable hearts make a huge success out of the ART FLOOD, a benefit art show to provide support to the flood victims in Nashville and the surrounding areas at Billups Art from 6-10pm also this Saturday, May 15th. All of the money donated will go directly to flood victim relief and will rightly pay back the artists donating all of their love and work in good graces and much deserved positive reinforcement for their extraordinary efforts and talents.

If the above recommendations isn’t enough for you to fill your entire Saturday with goodness and share the love that is in the air this weekend, you might find it fun to tip your cap in high esteem for some local artists that are throwing off theirs. I’m speaking of the Watkins College of Art and Design’s graduation ceremony for Mandy Stoller and others at the Downtown Presbyterian Church from 2-3pm on Saturday. Join me in applause for a job well done and a promising future that has already begun to take shape.

I’m trying to look on the bright side of life, which if you live in Nashville and open your eyes around the art scene amidst our weather’s recent chaos, it doesn’t seem to be too hard to see that our future is very bright all around us. I’m sure if you need some shades, Myles just may have a few that are painted just right for your shade in mind.

Not just another Southern Culture Lowbrow Extravaganza

Hot off of her Senior thesis exhibit for Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, jammed packed with 3D movies, off the wall art and film that will tickle any art fancy, and need I mention free Dippin’ Dots from 6-9pm at Watkins tonight, rising star and Nashville art fixture Mandy Stoller is very excited to follow that up quickly with yet another show this very weekend, Saturday, November 21st, from 6-9pm with 8 other fellow Nashville artists at Charlie Bob’s Restaurant. If you are in the mood for a night on the town with a dinner and a show and want to save the gas so that you can do both in one spot, I can’t think of any place better to go this Saturday than Charlie Bob’s to see some of the most eclectic art from nine total local southern lowbrow artists.

Stoller has joined ranks with fellow artists including Jeff Bertrand, Charles V. Bennett, Brandt Hardin, Ben Johnson, Stephen Jones, Erin Lord, co-planners Brittany Smith and Brooke Elizabeth to put their take on rockabilly, southern music and southern culture in general as seen through their eyes. The works shown will primarily be satirical in nature and seen through each individual artist’s relationship and experiences living in the south. You are bound to find something that jolts your art interest at Charlie Bob’s due to this exhibition’s wide variety of media; ranging from photography, sculpture, paintings and video art.

I really don’t want to spend too much time here talking about each artist because they are all due the respect that they are seeking to attain through their own creative rights. Click on each one’s name above to catch a glimpse of the magic they have worked on up to this point, and please pass the word around for tomorrow’s show so you’ll see these guys and gals before they’re careers really take off.

Salud,
Chuck Beard
