Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus
“We Hope For Better Things; It Shall Rise From the Ashes"

The city of Detroit was at one time the fourth largest city in the US. With a peak population of over two million people in 1960 and one of the most powerful economies in the nation no one could have foreseen the forces that would lead to the flight of its inhabitants or the architectural legacy they would leave behind. One of the most striking things one observes upon viewing the city is the sheer ambition of the early architects and designers. Everywhere there are grand boulevards and granite archways. This was truly one of the great cities not just of our nation but of the world.

Form/Space Atelier Program For November 2008

Show Title: Spire

Show Duration: November 14- December 7, 2008

Opening Reception: Friday November 14, 6PM (Belltown Art Dealers Assn.
Second Friday Art Walk)

Location: Form/Space Atelier 2407 1st Avenue Seattle, WA 98121-1311

Stencil artist Greg Boudreau creates an exhibit emphasizing the unique
vertical qualities of Form/Space Atelier, combining nearly two hundred
stenciled panels and a towering spire installation of salvaged wood.

Greg Boudreau prepared this proposal statement prior to the execution of November 2009's exhibit: "The project for Form/Space will be called "SPIRE." It will essentially consist of a central spire constructed of salvaged on the '2nd landing' (of the gallery) with possibly one or two separate partial spires. The spires will be loosely modeled on the structure of construction crane frames. The walls will be filled with a "massive" quantity of single layer hand drawn bird stencils printed on frames of salvaged wood. The intent to create a project/installation that emphasizes the vertical quality of the gallery of Form/Space Atelier. Spire also combines our original ideas (Boudreau and Form/Space Atelier Curator Paul Pauper) of having outside studio work mixed with an atelier project. Because of the 'freer' nature of the execution of the project I've been changing my ideas and approach more than usual."

Where to Donate

jaimemberartimus — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:19:55 -0400

As I donated another small amount today, I had an interesting thought. What is the right amount to donate? I recently donated to the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. Personally, I believe it is a better group to donate to; however, I fully support the 1 Second Film and other art projects. I also plan on donating more to the 1SF before the project is complete.

So, my question to anyone who may read this is how do YOU decide how much to donate and who to give it to? There are many "worthy" charities working to find cures for countless diseases. There are other causes, such as this, that I also feel are worthy. There are websites I frequent that run exclusively on donations. Unfortunately, I cannot give everything I have to each of them. What do you do? How do you do it? Most importantly, why do you do it?

7 Perfect Moments from Charleston, South Carolina

This is pretty awesome, one of our producers (Barry Watson from South Carolina) went around Charleston with a video camera and asked people to share a perfect moment to make into a one second film.

I think they are all really cool, but my absolute favorite moment is the begining of video number 3.

Carolyn Polk’s exhibit ‘Resurfacing’; scarab images in acrylic paint and mediums, paper, recovered barn wood, recovered washers, resin, metallic pigment, coasters, image transfer, and print are rooted in her ardent appeal of the symbolic meaning that the scarab holds, that of renewal, good luck, and protection.
