Suite 100 Gallery: Opening "Left behind"

The stuffed bunny on the sidewalk, a love that didn't last, the ugly duckling, old behaviors, childhood dreams. That mitten you dropped somewhere, your first best friend, the 80's (before they came back). An alien pod baby, your family, the slow kid. Whether it was advantageous or tragic, with resolution or unbeknownst to us, we've all left stuff (or someone) in our wake; and most likely, we know what it feels like to have been left behind at one time, too.

"Left Behind" captures various aspects of what being left behind entails, interpreted by each artist with personal experiences coloring his or her work. From humorous to tragic, the possibilities are endless.

Seven Propositions @ Ouch My Eye

Seven Propositions - Friday - Ouch My Eye
For true links view email as HTML

Howdy Friends.
Hope 2008 is treating you well.
This Friday, January 11th we will start a new string of shows with SEVEN PROPOSITIONS curated by Michael Lorefice at Ouch My Eye, 8pm, 21 plus.

There was a time when people said painting was dead. I think what they meant was GOOD painting was dead. It's back.

Seven Propositions is an exhibition composed of seven painters working in seven distinct modes exploring the boundaries of their medium. Centered on the work of four emerging Seattle artists, the exhibition works through figuration, abstraction, narration, still life and landscape painting to ask what it means to be a painter in the contemporary age.

Seven Propositions
Check out new work from: Michael Lorefice (Seattle) Eric Elliott (Seattle) Preston Graves (Seattle) Kimberly Trowbridge (Seattle) Evri Kwong (San Francisco) Lynette Stephenson (Hamilton, NY) Eric Snowden (Brooklyn, NY)| MUSIC FROM Gabriel Mintz (Seattle)

Accordions Gone Wild @ Mr. Spot's Chai House

Friday 11 January, 2008 8pm

Accordions Gone Wild Geoff Berner (http://www.geoffberner.com/)
Amy Denio http://www.myspace.com/
Mr. Spot's Chai House (http://www.chaihouse.com/)
5463 Leary Ave NW , Seattle WA 98107

Geoff Berner ( Vancouver , British Columbia )
“I want to drag klezmer music kicking and screaming back into the bars.”

That’s the goal of Vancouver singer-songwriter-accordion player Geoff Berner.

His first EP, “Light Enough to Travel”, released on the punk rock label Sudden Death Records in 2001, was an eclectic mix of song styles, united by the fact that it was recorded with only voice and solo accordion accompaniment. The reaction from press and audiences tended to fall into 2 categories: puzzled horror or puzzled but sincere appreciation of the great songwriting and the sheer chutzpah of appearing alone on stage with an accordion. By 2003, with the release of the full-length CD “We Shall Not Flag or Fail, We Shall Go to the End”, his fan base grew enough that Berner was able to quit working as a freelance writer and earn his living solely by traveling the world, playing his music.

Amy Denio ( Seattle , Washington )
Denio is a composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, international collaborator, record producer, and founder of her own record label & publishing company, Spoot Music. Her main instruments are voice, accordion, alto saxophone, clarinet, electric guitar, and bass.

She has been playing accordion since she first brought one home from Budapest in the early 1990s, and since then has composed all kinds of toe-tapping songs for voice & squeezebox. Her style is a gutsy and rhythmic melange of folk, gypsy, and North African influences. She often invites the audience to partici pat e, which can be surprising and fun.

Hell's Belles @ Neumos

This Friday (tonight!) at Neumos we have Hell's Belles, The World Famous AC/DC All-Female Tribute band - a perfect way to end the week with a hard, rockin' show. On Saturday we have Mark Farina, described in this week's Stranger as "a perennial Seattle favorite [who] has no shortage of DJ cred, with billions of frequent-flier miles, a well-selling discography, and a big heap of the responsibility for the West Coast house scene" The first 2 people to write info@neumos.com about each show wins free entrance, plus one. Good luck!


"Nova channeled animal magnetism, complete with primal screams, while her cohort, Adrian Conner, strut onstage in a schoolgirl uniform, nodding and snarling while windmilling her blond dreads." // SPIN

""Hot! Loud! And sticky with sweat!" So screams their official Web site, yet Hell's Belles are no campy novelty act. An all-female AC/DC tribute band... their passion for the music is somehow both sly and sincere, and despite their globe-trotting ways? yes, they're big in Japan; Canada, too?they'd no sooner neglect their hometown than Angus Young et al. would leave Australia behind." // SEATTLE WEEKLY

The Gold Show at The Little Red Studio

FRIDAY, JANUARY 11TH
The Gold Show at The Little Red Studio. I thought that I'd mention it as I'm going to be there (participating in the body painting part of the show),, but I also wanted to mention that one of our list members will be there performing a Butoh peice that promises to be very interesting.
Little Red Studio is at 750 Harrison (3 blocks South of Denny 1.25 blocks east of Aurora) Doors are at 8:30 and the show starts at 9:00PM.

REBEL VISIONS in Georgetown

Attention all Crumb fans!

Don't miss “REBEL VISIONS: The Underground Comix Revolution” opening
this Saturday, January 12 from 11:30 to 8:00 PM at Fantagraphics
Bookstore & Gallery in Seattle. This colorful art show will
complement “R. Crumb’s Underground” exhibition opening January 26 at
the Frye Art Museum in Seattle.

Organized by comix historian, author and archivist Patrick
Rosenkranz, in association with Fantagraphics resident curator Larry
Reid, “REBEL VISIONS” features original artwork, artifacts and relix
from masters of the underground era. Highlights include a previously
unseen original drawing by Rick Griffin, recently discovered by L. A.
collector Greg Escalante; rarely viewed original art by feral genius
S. Clay Wilson; and locally created original artwork by the legendary
Greg Irons, who followed his underground work with a prolific career
as a tattoo artist working at the storied Seattle Tattoo Emporium
prior to his untimely death in 1984.

A wide selection of comix, graphic novels, and histories of this
wildly creative period in American illustration, cartooning and
graphic art from Fantagraphics Books others will be available. We
also have new offerings by popular Fantagraphics artists including
Jason, Ellen Forney, Dan DeCarlo, and others – as well as a limited
supply of the coveted BEASTS!, recently unearthed in our cavernous
warehouse.

Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S. Vale St. (at
the corner of Airport Way S.) in the heart of Georgetown, only
minutes south of downtown Seattle. We’re open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM,
Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110.

Weekend visitors should be aware that a 3-block stretch of Airport
Way will be closed to auto traffic directly across from our space on
Jan. 12 & 13 and Jan. 19 & 20 during the demolition of the historic –
but structurally unstable - Stock House of the original Rainier
Brewery. (A sad event, but wrecking balls are always entertaining).
Ample parking will be available north and south of this closure.

And Seahawk fans should know that Saturday’s NFL playoff game will be
projected on big screen at neighboring watering hole 9 Lb. Hammer.
Drop by and see “REBEL VISIONS” before or after the win.

Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S. Vale St.
(at the corner of Airport Way S.) in Georgetown.



Steven Miller's Bound @ Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston, TX.

Hi friends,

Lots of things are happening with my art over the next few months, so I thought I'd tell you about them. Most of it's out of town, but who knows? maybe you have friends in these cities that might like to see my work.

First off, several pieces from my Bound series debut at the Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston, TX, opening this Saturday, January 12th. I'll be giving a talk with the curator and another artist at 2pm.

Second: my Milky self-portrait appears in 40 Portraits/40 Artists at Gallery One in Ellensburg, WA, opening Friday, February 1st.

Third: the Milky Series is going to auction in Toronto for SNAP!, the AIDS Committee of Toronto’s annual photographic fundraiser featuring a live auction of curated art, a silent auction, and photo competition. The auction happens on Sunday, March 2nd. More info at snap-toronto.com

And last but not least, you can now purchase a limited-edition hand-made book of my scandalous photographs from EARL 3.0– the robotic art dealer, located at the Hideout, our favorite art bar on Seattle's First Hill. I've made two books: the consequences of falling in love, and Pee Forest. They're both cheap and delicious. And tawdry. I wouldn't have it any other way...
