<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Curated by Emily Sloan</span></b><br />
Exhibition Dates: March 4 – April 9, 2016<br />
Art League Houston is excited to present <i>The Kenmore: The Slow Game</i> by
Sebastien Boncy curated by Emily Sloan in conjunction with FotoFest
2016 Biennial. This exhibition features a selection of small-scale
photographs from the artist’s ever growing and uncategorized archive of
photographs that find resolution as sequences, installations,
publications and other types of image networks. This new work will take
the shape of a game, where the audience is asked to <i>Restore the Rules of the Universe</i> by interacting with a set of photographs.<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT SEBASTIEN BONCY</b><br />
Sebastien
Boncy was born and raised in Haiti, and now lives and works in Texas.
He received his BFA from the University of Houston, and his MFA from the
University of North Texas. Recently, his work has been exhibited at The
Oak Cliff cultural center, published in Sugar and Rice magazine, and
part of the multi-media presentation Houston No Limits at the
Co-Cathedral of The Sacred Heart. His writing currently appears in Not
That But This.<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT THE KENMORE</b><br />
Not just
another white cube, The Kenmore is a small, cold, mobile exhibition
object measuring approximately 36" x 24"x 24". The Kenmore's mission is
to keep ideas fresh through the opportunity of a unique exhibition
context and the experience of collaborating with an object.Emily Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10630420517958709251noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804696866770502207.post-91445961226069624272013-08-18T15:42:00.000-07:002013-08-20T15:53:08.029-07:00TX BI 2013 opens Saturday, September 7 from 8-10pm <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

McClain's installation transforms the inside of the refrigerator into a peepshow using "authentic" vintage porn of famous people including Sylvester Stallone, alleged vintage porn of famous people including Marilyn Monroe and recreated porn based on real porn including famous people such as Erin Andrews, the ESPN sportscaster who was surreptitiously filmed in the nude in her hotel room. Questions raised include our voyeuristic urges, our addiction to celebrity culture, and what it means to be authentic in a digital age.<br /><br />When asked about borrowing vintage porn for his work, McClain borrows Jim Jarmusch’s words: “Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.” Furthermore, states McClain, “Maybe I was an adult film star in Bulgaria before migrating to the United States…”<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZnbS6bQNBGKi8wWmtASLm7CgPIf_plzHRXUd-Hyrn3zo2BtDN5MeD4UvNVDHZe747j7olZmGoT3BbUdjmSimCFtXxeM6WnlBIKGqA2JmsLBavkJ4Op9Dr2pT-yLuFC0yygXjssPFJ2Qb7/s1600/TheKenmoreMcClain.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 321px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZnbS6bQNBGKi8wWmtASLm7CgPIf_plzHRXUd-Hyrn3zo2BtDN5MeD4UvNVDHZe747j7olZmGoT3BbUdjmSimCFtXxeM6WnlBIKGqA2JmsLBavkJ4Op9Dr2pT-yLuFC0yygXjssPFJ2Qb7/s400/TheKenmoreMcClain.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719958495219695586" /></a><br /><br />ABOUT THE ARTIST:<br />David McClain holds a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a JD from the University of Houston Law Center, and a BA from Rice University.

This one night only event will take place on October 1, 2011 from 7:00pm to 9:30p.m.<br /><br />For this work, the artist has immersed himself in an arduous examination of his physical attraction towards "Beefy Men." He has selected a few bulls from the herd incessantly pursuing them without their knowledge, luring them, acting out his desires, and using his own body as a research tool in an attempt to solve the mystery behind his obsession. His installation at The Kenmore invites us to enter the secret room of his darkest fantasies, a place where lust and transgression reign. Ingredients: voyeuristic footage, found organs, stolen photos, beef derived products, obsession.

<br />
<br />More about the exhibition:
<br />Houston-based artists Edward Lane McCartney and Cat Coombes have inaugurated a new art movement at The Kenmore, located in Box13 ArtSpace, with Craftism: Preserving the Future of Art. The organization of the Craftism movement, unveiling of McCartney’s shrine to art, and presentation of the collaborative’s manifesto will occurred at the opening reception on August 6, 2011 from 7:00pm to 9:30p.m. It remains on view Saturdays from 1-5pm through September 10, 2011.
<br />
<br />The exhibition mixes jewelry, installation, and performance in a context that demands audience participation. The physical aspect of the exhibition centers around the transformation of The Kenmore, a mini-Fridge curated by Emily Sloan, into a Plexiglas and gold-leaf, post-modern-gothic shrine to Craftism, holding a single, sanctified jewelry object, by Edward Lane McCartney. During the reception, Cat Coombes presented Craftism’s manifesto to begin the consolidation of the movement. As relics of the performance, the manifesto has been been left on display, and viewers may wear jewelry objects bearing excerpts from the manifesto out into the world.
<br />
<br />The artistic goal of the collaboration between jeweler and metal artist Edward Lane McCartney and conceptual artist and art historian Cat Coombes is to seek out a new relationship between “art” and “craft,” in search of an art that features “depth and humanity” as core values. The statement they make may provoke frustration, anger, or relief: “All art is craft. All so-called ‘art’ that is not craft is art criticism, industry, or empty posturing.”
<br />

The organization of the Craftism movement, unveiling of McCartney’s shrine to art, and presentation of the collaborative’s manifesto will occur at the opening reception of Craftism: Preserving the Future of Art, on August 6, 2011 from 7:00pm to 9:30p.m., and remain on view Saturdays from 1-5pm through September 10, 2011.<br /><br />The exhibition will mix jewelry, installation, and performance in a context that demands audience participation. The physical aspect of the exhibition will center around the transformation of The Kenmore, a mini-Fridge curated by Emily Sloan, into a Plexiglas and gold-leaf, post-modern-gothic shrine to Craftism, holding a single, sanctified jewelry object, by Edward Lane McCartney. During the reception, Cat Coombes will present Craftism’s manifesto to begin the consolidation of the movement. As relics of the performance, the manifesto will be left on display, and viewers may wear jewelry objects bearing excerpts from the manifesto out into the world.<br /><br />The artistic goal of the collaboration between jeweler and metal artist Edward Lane McCartney and conceptual artist and art historian Cat Coombes is to seek out a new relationship between “art” and “craft,” in search of an art that features “depth and humanity” as core values. The statement they make may provoke frustration, anger, or relief: “All art is craft. All so-called ‘art’ that is not craft is art criticism, industry, or empty posturing.”<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeQUabBqn4Jvhmq6OxVnNRtzk2YMp45ZJItZ-TKCS6T524ocQIwJu-QlFlONarUwpkwyqs__0b6lMG0zcsIDr4XVcYz3lvcsZBbnGBAFmO53fxOwpv7dnjm-2y3QxGBARA0UZTjQe_PF5/s1600/KenmoreMcCartneyBrooch.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 384px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeQUabBqn4Jvhmq6OxVnNRtzk2YMp45ZJItZ-TKCS6T524ocQIwJu-QlFlONarUwpkwyqs__0b6lMG0zcsIDr4XVcYz3lvcsZBbnGBAFmO53fxOwpv7dnjm-2y3QxGBARA0UZTjQe_PF5/s400/KenmoreMcCartneyBrooch.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627915380311390898" /></a>Craftism Brooch, 2011, 24K Gold on Glass, 24K Gold Plate on Sterling, Paint, and Stainless Steel.<br /><br />THE KENMORE<br />Not just another white cube, The Kenmore is a small, cold exhibition object measuring approximately 36" x 24"x 24". The Kenmore's mission is to keep ideas fresh through the opportunity of a unique exhibition context and the experience of collaboration. Inspired by exhibits such as "Cooler than Usual" at Aisen Caro Chacin's N Gallery, The Kenmore was initiated by Emily Sloan and is "run" (refrigerator humor) under her development and guidance. By its nature, The Kenmore remains a work in progress.<br /><br />BOX 13 ARTSPACE<br />BOX 13 ArtSpace is an artist run nonprofit innovative environment for the creation and advancement of experimental contemporary art in Houston. BOX 13 artists create this environment through the offering of affordable workspaces for emerging and established artists, dedicating five interior spaces to the exhibition of artistic explorations, a window gallery for installations and an outdoor courtyard space. BOX 13 promotes dialogue among artists and the art community on current trends affecting the arts.<br /><br />GENERAL INFORMATION<br />Opening reception: Saturday, August 6, 7:00pm to 9:30pm<br />Open Saturdays from 1-5pm or by appointment<br /><br />CONTACT<br />Emily Sloan<br />The Kenmore<br />c/o Box 13 ArtSpace<br />6700 Harrisburg Blvd.<br />Houston, TX 77011<br />thekenmore@gmail.com<br />713-582-1198Emily Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10630420517958709251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804696866770502207.post-27857591525371092882011-07-11T10:04:00.001-07:002011-07-11T10:04:48.084-07:00Bobby, curated by Hagit Barkai and Aisen Caro ChacinEmily Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10630420517958709251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804696866770502207.post-50501253977236784312011-07-11T10:03:00.000-07:002011-07-11T10:04:13.148-07:00Salon picsEmily Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10630420517958709251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804696866770502207.post-27632511160825712512011-07-02T07:56:00.000-07:002011-07-02T07:58:35.841-07:00Salon des Refusés, People's Choice Cash PrizeThank you to everyone who came out to the Salon des Refusés last night!

(www.gallerymsquared.com)<br /><br />About the Salon des Refusés: Artwork Rejected from The BIG Show...<br />The Salon des Refusés: Artwork Rejected from The BIG Show is an independent exhibition organized by <a href="http://emilysloanblog.blogspot.com">Emily Sloan</a> of artwork rejected from Lawndale Art Center's jurored exhibition, The BIG Show. It is inspired by the Salon des Refusés held in Paris in 1863. The original salon of 1863 consisted of artwork rejected from the official Paris Salon. Exhibiting artists of the Salon des Refusés of 1863 included Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and James Whistler among others. Following in the spirt of a statement from Napolean III about such a salon of "Wishing to let the public judge...," this current day version allows Houston-area artists the opportunity to share their work regardless of a juror's selection choices...though they must at least have tried!

It is inspired by the Salon des Refusés held in Paris in 1863. The original salon of 1863 consisted of artwork rejected from the official Paris Salon. Exhibiting artists of the Salon des Refusés of 1863 included Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and James Whistler among others. Following in the spirt of a statement from Napolean III about such a salon of "Wishing to let the public judge...," this current day version allows Houston-area artists the opportunity to share their work regardless of a juror's selection choices...though they must at least have tried!Emily Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10630420517958709251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804696866770502207.post-52503274223271538282011-04-14T23:08:00.000-07:002013-07-16T19:04:09.785-07:00TX BI 2011: A Celebration of Texas-based Bisexual Artists<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGTBSI4KTNY5xLLo6ErPNKBG3ls-mHbLVEr0eN5DpOCErgC4PMvSiKw9LCDKkXg4Nk_bPRZCITTVeDxD8X9mHFrQGr7Mwlw3aAxHA93iHZjp85rCWa9D_SQaznNuNCnSRZ8nJ_k4F_fA/s1600/TXBITraciMatlock.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595687782833655986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGTBSI4KTNY5xLLo6ErPNKBG3ls-mHbLVEr0eN5DpOCErgC4PMvSiKw9LCDKkXg4Nk_bPRZCITTVeDxD8X9mHFrQGr7Mwlw3aAxHA93iHZjp85rCWa9D_SQaznNuNCnSRZ8nJ_k4F_fA/s400/TXBITraciMatlock.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 150px; margin: 0 0 10px 10px; width: 101px;" /></a><br />

TX BI 2011: A Celebration of Texas-based Bisexual Artists<br />
<br />
For Immediate Release—HOUSTON, TEXAS (April 15, 2011)— TX BI 2011: A Celebration of Texas-based Bisexual Artists: a group exhibition curated by Emily Sloan, on view at Curation Myth Ministries, Box 13 Artspace, April 30 through May 21. <br />
<br />
Daniel Adame, Sasha Dela, Ben Tecumseh DeSoto, Ryan Hawk, Koomah, Traci Matlock, Y.E. Torres, Addie Tsai and Julia Wallace are the selected artists for the exhibition.

The exhibition coincides with the Texas Biennial also on view within Box 13 ArtSpace and has a reception on Saturday, April 30 from 7-9:30pm. <br />
<br />
“This show is very exciting as it offers a setting for a micro-dialogue of bisexuals operating outside of both homosexual and heterosexual communities” said Emily Sloan, curator of the exhibition and studio resident of Curation Myth Ministries. “I wanted to open my studio to other artists to give them a chance to share their unique vision. The show being in the same building during the same time as the Texas Biennial just adds yet another layer of excitement!”<br />
<br />
In addition to the opening night of Saturday, April 30, the exhibition will be open to the public on the following Saturdays from 1pm to 5pm: May 7, May 14 and May 21. Saturday, May 21 at 2pm there will be a closing artists' and curator's talk.<br />
