Friday, September 22
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. More information

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.”
Michael Paglia Art and Architecture Writer
