ALGORITHMIC ART, MIGHTY MINIATURES AND MODERN JEWELS:
SPRING POPUP AT MINKA, APRIL 28, 2-5:30PM!
It's true: the best (and most peculiar) things come in small packages!
Tacoma-based artist *Devon Urquhart *makes fabulous, miniature paintings
and dioramas smaller than a slice of bread but action-packed. Meet the
artist at MINKA on April 28, 2-5:30, and enter her tiny universe of
laid-back, beer drinking locusts, astronauts tethered to ovaries, and more!
You might even go home with a ceramic Boob Cup...
"Inflatable Mountain" is a mindbending series of prints based on algorithms
by San Antonio-based artist, Guy Hundere. "I didn't work from a specific
landscape, but I was inspired to make landscape art since I've grown
exhausted by conceptualism and find great contentment from staring at the
horizon," he says. "Time I spent on Vancouver Island had a large effect on
this work. I'd been reading Paolo Soleri's book on how matter can transform
into spirit, and his notion of 'esthetogenesis'. Not everyone can visit the
mountain, so for urban [dwellers] I've presented the 'inflatable mountain',
a convenient and portable space for transcendental experience." Hundere's
work has been shown extensively in the United States and Europe.
"Inflatable Mountain" is on view at MINKA through June 30, 2018.
