Just Looking in action

2023-06-08T01:46:05-04:00Articles, Artists, Art|

Just Looking in action I have not received all the photos yet. But you can begin to see the installation in action here. Friday was a delightfully cool night for an opening. A gentle crowd arrived and stayed and played with the interactive video. Mary, in the middle, learned that she could line her own eyes up with various pairs of glasses. Watch the website. I hope to have more visuals and have the audio compressed and on line sometime next week. Pictured with the EYES is the videographer, John Hensel, my son. Who came in and worked all week developing programs to film, duplicate and project attendees. The EYES project is one he showed at Oberlin College several years ago. Seemed perfect for the topic at hand. Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture. It is a gallery where experimental ideas and works of the hand join to create unique sensory experiences. Opened September 10th, 2004 Susan Hensel Gallery is a gallery/ workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year in an intimate space, with hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. In 2013 the [...]

Just Looking

2023-06-08T01:46:13-04:00Articles, News|

Just Looking People who have been in the studio are mesmerized. They spend time looking and looking and looking. When they return for the opening on August 8th, I think they will be surprised by the transformation. My son, John Hensel, arrives tomorrow and we will work together on a computer program that will transform the experience. I don't want to show you too much and spoil the experience! So, the photo is intentionally enigmatic. Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects. Meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture.

In 2013 the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel where she continues to work on small and large scale artwork. That engages both sculptural and cultural space.

Anemone is complete Jane Gordon worked through 100 degree heat Tuesday and Wednesday to complete the installation of ANEMONE. Sea creatures crossed with chrysanthemums are growing among the money wort, host's, ferns and azaleas. Come by anytime to see them. See if I'm in, but the gallery need not be open. You can see them over the fence wonderfully. Do come back August 27th for the closing potluck. Jane will be in attendance and you can meet her then.

Reader’s Art 8 selection begins

2023-06-08T02:04:04-04:00Articles, Artists, Art|

Reader's Art 8 selection begins Reader's Art 8: handmade with care. Nearly 200 images have arrived in my mailbox this year. Beautiful books of all sorts from all over the country. The postcard has been ordered and preliminary sorting has begun. It will be a hard decision this year because all the work is topnotch. The primary decision to be made right now is How large will the emphasis on handmade paper be? I always jury the show as a single entity. That means that I look at how the work goes together and how it will flow in the space. Will the show, in total, make sense? While this has always been a survey show, the pieces are chosen for their place in the gestalt as well as for their intrinsic quality. It is an interesting process. I put out the call for art with a vague idea in mind...with some expectations of how a show might look. But all shows, and this one in particular, seem to tell me what is going on out there. The entries dictate the show by demonstrating what artists are concerned about right now. There is one more day to receive [...]
