"and i don't want to liveon the moon" . . . . curated by harry c walters and mark sink

opening june 15th 2006

On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moo

Early Colorado Contemporary Photography

December 9th, 2005 - May 19th 2006
Opening Friday, December 9th 6-10pm
Round table discussion and rememberances
Sunday, December 11th

This was a group of extraordinary experimenters pushing the medium. Using then little known methods as solarization, reverse printing, photograms and dye transfer, producing conceptual abstract expressionism studies of form and light. Much of the work in this exhibition reflects its time, the expressionist period in art in NY, but this is a formative use with the medium of photography as art. The work is amazingly fresh standing in today’s image saturated world. Features artists are:

Winter Prather | Jim Milmoe | Walter Chappell
Arnold Gassan | Nile Root | Syl Labrot

The strange world she creates is one where positive and negative space seem reversed, where a horse is its mane, a woman her muscles, a tiger its stripes." - Aperture Magazine "Kimberly Gremillion appreciates the spectral and the spectacle. Light and shadow, etched on paper, dance in a special dimension." - W. M.

Brigman Wes Kennedy Ruth Thorne-Thompson Bill Thomas "When I lie, I am closer to the truth than documentary photography." “We look to photography to provide us with not just the evidence of what we know, but what we are missing, what we have dreamed of but have forgotten, what we thought we saw out of the corner of our eyes”

Doug Keyes Collective Memory Also: Susan Lipper Clint Imboden Susan Evans Cherie Hiser Duane Michals Roland Bernier Liliana Gelman October 3rd – November 29th, 2003 Opening Friday, October 3rd, 2003, 6-10p Words are saved in the brain by photography and photography is a basic term and teaching tool of reading. Flash cards are used in the elementary beginnings of visualizing and vocabulary. Exact recall of words such as names and spelling is pre-visualizing is used. People with extraordinary memory capacity are coined "photographic memory". Text as photograph raises questions about the human thought process, categorization of data, visual language processing, and cultural conditioning. With this topic I have assembled a group of artists that use words through the photographic process in their work. Doug Keyes, Collective Memory, from Seattle WA, photographs multiple exposures of pages from famous books. These books subjects cover a broad spectrum of inquiry in invention and expression. The result is these dye-coupler prints become a new condensed document of exploration, chance and new ideas.

A unique mixture of post-reunification construction, architecture remaining from more than forty years of Communist control, and the ongoing rebuilding from the World War ll firebombing is presented in Marsh’s large-scale photographic ink jet images. The remains of decaying former Soviet military complexes, abandoned factories and "forgotten" industrial complexes is contrasted with the classic architecture of the renowned Zwinger, surrounding gardens and monuments encountered during his three months photographing in Dresden provide a walk through the historic relics of a complex urban landscape.

Previous Show Dan Asher Icebergs, Photographs and Drawings

Gallery Sink is pleased to present the recent work of Dan Asher's Icebergs and Drawings. The photographs are printed by Reed Photo-Imaging. Blown up to a large scale 40x60" and are hung as if floating around you in the gallery. Asher has captured the awesome beauty of the huge chunks of ice with their glowing blue interiors. Included are Dan's very small, light drawings details of the icebergs textures in the adjoining room. Dan, a long time New Yorker traveled to the South Pole multiple times in the late nineties to make images of icebergs. "The Icebergs come at you in several levels. One they are very simple yet very powerful images, overwhelming in size and the color field of all blue in the ice and water, they are very meditative and endless in design and texture" . They also raise conciseness to environmental concerns. These dazzling photos are not made simply as an art-world version of what you might see in the pages of National Geographic. Asher's project has a provocative edge that sparks discussions of melting polar ice caps and global warming. Dan has recently shown this work at the Paula Cooper Gallery in NY and most recently in Venice Italy. The artist will be present at the opening. * Special Thanks to Reed Photo-Imaging.

Gallery Sink is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings and watercolors
by Ann White. The work represents a sampling of fifty years of a quiet yet prolific Colorado painter. The show includes paintings that explore the Southwest landscape and classic still life.  Featured is a body of work that includes early abstract canvases from the1950s to paintings that were finished this year.  This review of her work provides a glimpse of how she has developed and refined her own clear style and palette that shows hints of Fauvism and expressionist energy. Work from the 1970s and 80s becomes more traditional in both still life and landscape but still employs her trademark strong shapes and characteristic color, never totally leaving her earliest abstract period.  

This exhibition was conceived for family, friends and the public, to view a significant sample of the remarkable body of work painted by my mother, Ann White, an artist who has been a major influence in my life as a professional artist. She has spent a lifetime acquainting people with the importance of art.  Painting steadily from her early years in Santa Fe through fifty years in Denver, I felt it was high time to exhibit, document and celebrate a representative sampling of her prolific career.

Off the Highway
A fine art photography exhibition curated from an internet salon.

A Photographers Salon

What began in 1994 as a group of photographic artists on America Online (AOL)  wanting to discuss the philosophy, aesthetics, and personal anecdotes relating to fine art photography, has emerged into an international museum complete with galleries, critical essays, and a forum for discussion. Photographers had a place on the internet to discuss technical skills, and equipment. They needed a place place to discuss content, share ideas, vent frustration, and celebrate triumphs. Hence, the AOL Fine Art Photography Board was born.

The first show on-line was called the "Bob Show." Everybody posted their images on AOL’s image board titling their piece "Bob." That way members knew which pieces to download amongst the hundreds of images in AOL’s library. When Mark Sink saw the images, and what a talented pool of people were contributing to this forum, he sent out a call for entries and curated the first "Off The Highway" show of the actual work, held in Denver, Co.

Soon AOL opened their service to the European market, and the board was getting postings from overseas. Participants would send each other electronic images to critique and share. From this, came the idea of an actual print swap. The print swap was advertised on AOL, and interested parties sent their name and address to the coordinator of the swap. When the deadline closed, the coordinator sent the list to each member, who in-turn mailed an image to each person on the list.  There have been several thematic print swaps since then. Still, everyone could not see all the images unless they were sent to that particular party. Steve Procko, along with Mark Sink, came up with the idea to bring the little board on AOL, to the web.

Sink again called for entries, and curated the first "thesight" show, which was designed by Procko. Now in its fifth year, "thesight" is an online exhibition featuring the work of fine art photographers from around the world. Though many artists still communicate with each other through the AOL forum, "thesight" also features its own online forum called the FAB (The Fine Art Board) that offers critiques on images that participants may post within the forum.

The group has participated in many group shows throughout the United States continuing the use of the name  "Off the Highway". Since then, "thesight" has added a chat board where participants meet at a given time for a group critique of specified works. This is known as "esalon".

The community while global, has remained close. Shar Wolff, for instance, has called upon the people she met to present their work, give workshops, and critique student work at the community college where she teaches in Va. Sink has brought in Tamaki Obuchi, from a small island in Japan, to have her exhibit work after seeing it on "thesight".

In 1997, this web site and it's artists were featured in The Wall Street Journal.

Last year, the group was featured in USA Today.

Opening reception Friday, August 11 from 6-10 pm, closing reception is Sunday,  September 17 from 1-6 pm.

In Jason Appletons paintings, dramatic love stories are told in a comic strip  format. Surrealism , abstraction and an illustrative technique are used to describe stories of tragedy, fantasy and humor.

Jason Appleton has been painting and drawing prolifically since adolescence. His work has appeared  in numerous solo and group shows since moving to Denver in 1994.

Cheryl Bailey draws from the surreal world of dreams for a new sculptural
project titled "one inch equals one foot." Using found materials and objects, plaster casts, and photographs, she builds a "dream house" in miniature scale.

This is the first of several scheduled shows opening through the fall at Gallery Sink.

September: Off The Highway exhibition, an international salon with over 30 artist/photographers from all over the world participating. Few of them have ever met face-to-face though many have become close friends and exhibited together in the "Off The Highway" since 1994 and exhibited on the web at www.thesight.com

October: Ann White A survey of paintings and drawings and watercolors, 1950-2000.

“I love curating shows on the web and culling work for galleries shows. I have found many many friends with stunning talent on the web. Tamaki Obuchi is one of my favorites and most cherished. We found each other because of mutual admiration for each others work and became fast friends. I invited her to be in the Unique Florals show at MoCA/D. She came out and we met in person that is when we decided to have a excahnge show of our Photographic Salons”.

Photography exhibits culled from and created on the internet has been a ten year passion with Mark. He achieved successful results collaborating with web sites such as (TheSight.com) and by assembling traveling exhibitions from the net such as "Off The Highway". A recent project is the “Festival of Light”   (www.festivaloflight.net) coordinated with the Houston Fotofest is a collaboration of 21 photography museums and festivals in 15 countries into one web site.

Mark is currently the interim director at the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver and running his new gallery on the weekends until his term at MCA/D is completed in January 2000.

THE EXCHANGE SHOW IN KITAKYUSHU & DENVER
Kitakyushu City is the south side of Japan, Kyushu island.
Once it was one of the most prosperous industrial cities in Japan. Most of big factories were moved from the city. A neighborhood coal mines were abandoned long ago. However it has a population of about 1,000,000 even now. It's a squalid city,  there are lots of people, cars, tasteless sign boards, factories, and race tracks. There are also public museums or galleries in the city, but we can seldom to have a chance to see an interesting fine art photography exhibition.

While I was staying in Denver this January I met Denver Salon's members and saw their works. They were really touching and incited me so much. So I would love to show Denver Salon's fine art works at a gallery in Kitakyushu.
I'm hoping to show the works to not only my photographer friends but people who are interested in photography or fine art, especially young people.

The exchange show in Gallery SOAP is going to exhibit Denver Salons members' works and we Kitakyushu and Fukuoka photographer's works. And we are planning to have a virtual opening party on the web.
