Another February Skies @ GCC Gallery, LA
Mar 1st
The vigilant Dennis Hollingsworth captured these videos of another great show going on right now at GCC Gallery; Another February Skies. "Another February Skies", a group art exhibition at the Glendale Community College Art Gallery (GCC) opened February 3 and continues through March 10.
Anoka Faruqee, Mike McMillin, John Pearson and Rebecca Ripple are the Los Angeles-based artists. Their works in this exhibition include large format prints by Pearson, a monumental-scale sculpture by Ripple, paintings by Faruqee and sculptures by McMillin.
And be sure to hit Dennis’ site for the great article on Roger Dickies.
"Axe wielding ghosts." That’s how Roger Dickes aka "Heavyhandz "referred to the top dogs of the art world dialog. We spent the afternoon talking about his work and the arc that led him from an aborted medical degree through art school to his tenured position at GCC and his stewardship of the art gallery there, and his ongoing visual art/musical art studio practice. Roger had gone to school at Art Center and I asked him about the faculty, about the reality of that school’s ambition to match and exceed the reputation CalArts had for high octane theory. I mentioned my recent conversation with Jacques De Beaufort, how Jacques took issue with my identification of the powers that be and the label called "postmodernism" I used to lasso them altogether. "That term is meaningless now, Dennis. Art is bigger than that, this is the lesson of postmodernism." And yet the label persists. How else are we supposed to get a handle on it?
