Visions West Contemporary
Opening reception, 6 - 8 pm
Wild and Precious, a solo exhibition from the
multimedia artist and sculptor Rachel Denny. The title
of the show takes its inspiration from the writer Mary
Oliver. Oliver's poem The Summer Day, which deals with
nature and morality, sometimes finds itself on repeat in
Denny's head. In the final line of the poem Oliver
writes "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one
wild and precious life?" Denny works and lives outside
of Portland, Oregon where she creates nature and animal
inspired artwork, most of which consists of taxidermy
forms that have been transformed through fabric and
embellishments she overlays them with. Denny's choice of
medium has adapted and changed over the years, dependent
upon the project and access to resources. Sourcing from
upcycled materials that come from thrift stores, estate
sales or kind gifts from friends. Texture and color are
her palette, and this palette resides in a large storage
cabinet where she hunts for materials for each animal
figure.
Through November 4

Ben Eberle, Wood, Soda, Fire, and Form exhibition
pmMy current work is all functional pottery. I often
describe my process like this: "I never make the same
pot twice." In fact, I've tried. Didn't work. Instead,
using a small collection of custom, textured wood
blocks, I imprint, alter, and move each pot's surface
with the hope that it retains its material "softness"
after the final firing. It's a hard aesthetic to
capture, and it keeps me constantly searching. But it's
this constant searching that makes the process so
engaging. Even after 60 years of working in clay, my
mentor, Toshiko Takaezu would find a surprise in every
firing. It's this inevitable element of the unknown
that, I believe, keeps ceramic artists young. It keeps
us hungry. We will never even come close to figuring it
all out....and that's a good thing.

The McKenney-Hall Indian Gallery.
Thomas McKenney was appointed Superintendent of Indian
Affairs in 1916 by President James Madison. He
championed Native American causes for the next several
decades at a time when tribal culture was often on a
collision course with land-hungry whites and the U.S.
Government. McKenney worked tirelessly on his Indian
Gallery, a collection of artifacts and portraits of the
visiting Indians by the famous painter Charles Bird
King. However, in 1830, McKenney was dismissed by
President Jackson -- they had quarreled about the
removal of the Cherokee from their homeland. McKinley
had also battled with a Congressional committee
investigating his expenditure of $3,100 for the Indian
portraits. Therefore, it was on his own that he launched
a project to publish a series of large portfolios with
hand-colored lithographs made after King's original
paintings.

Mountain Standard Time, Part II Annual Summer Group
Exhibition. A multi-gallery summer exhibition presents
art that is in dialogue with the American West. The
fifth annual exhibition spans all three galleries in the
Rocky Mountain Region, modeling and parodying the
historic Pacific Standard Time show in Los Angeles. The
works included in the exhibition are just a snapshot of
the broad range of artists represented by Visions West
Contemporary, as well as the current state of
contemporary art in the region today. Mountain Standard
Time subverts the Western monolith of cowboys and
saloons and instead celebrates the diverse Rocky
Mountain history of people, environmentalism, and
complex cultural influences that is a fixture of the
American psyche. Spanning a wide range of mediums and
subject matter, the artists capture and contradict the
mythologies embedded within the region while celebrating
its unparalleled beauty and mystique.

“Bill Havu is
celebrating fifty years on the Colorado art
scene. He’s been on a five-decade trajectory
that has taken him from a humble Aspen frame
shop to a swank Denver gallery. For the past
half-century, William Havu—known as Bill Havu to
everyone—has emphatically made his presence
known in Colorado’s art world. This longevity
is, on its surface, a remarkable accomplishment
by itself. But digging deeper, and taking into
account the vagaries of the art business, his
durable success is even more amazing than it
seems. Art is subject to radical and sudden
shifts in taste, not only in terms of style, but
right down to preferred medium at any given
moment. Not to forget, there’s the problems
common to all small businesses—relentlessly
rising expenses along with the ups and downs of
the larger economy. Bill must have had ice water
in his veins to have not just survived, but to
have flourished through it all.”
