5/17/15 review of RedLine Denver's Spring 2015 EPIC show

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of RedLine Denver's Spring 2015 EPIC Arts show.

RedLine Denver's EPIC Arts program is one of my favorite things about Denver. RedLine's studio artists participate with schools around Denver to create socially-themed conceptual art works. It's incredible.

My Twitter thread discusses EPIC Arts' philosophy, as expressed by Robin Gallite. I also gave a good deal of pictures from the show. A lot of great work was on display there.

4/13/15 review of Institutional Time, by Judy Chicago

(Image source: https://www.monacellipress.com/book/?isbn=9781580933667)

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Institutional Time: A Critique of Studio Art Education, by Judy Chicago.

My Twitter thread review discusses the history and context of the book. It also discusses the structure of the book. It delves into the actual challenges and successes Chicago has faced while teaching at universities. I also discuss some interesting aims and ideas Chicago conveys in the book, as well as some authors she mentions.

I also discuss my own ideas about widening the audience for art. This probably influenced me more than I considered back then, as this really was a defining moment in my life, when I became a lot more involved with the art scene in Denver.

Here is the link to the Monacelli Press edition of Institutional Time.

Here is the link to Judy Chicago's website.

I bought this book while at RedLine Denver, during a retrospective they had of Judy Chicago's work.

3/10/13 review of RedLine Contemporary Art Center show Reality of Fiction

(Image: Christine Buchsbaum, Becoming Final, from RedLine show)

Here is my March 10, 2013, Twitter review of the RedLine Contemporary Art Center show Reality of Fiction.

Unlike my later Twitter reviews, this was not posted as a thread. Instead, the tweets were posted separately.

The tweets are below for your convenience.

However, I did not paste the images into this blog. I will mention which tweets have images attached.

***

Tweet 1. Today I went to the Red Line Gallery in Denver for its exhibit for the Denver Month of Photography.

T2. The Denver Month of Photography put on by @marksinkphoto features photographic work at over 180 locations in Denver. T3. The theme of this year's MoP from what I gathered from @denverpost is reality versus illusion. Hence @RedLineDenver's "Reality of Fiction."

T4. Front-page work at @RedLineDenver is selection from Fake Vacations by Reiner Riedler. People enjoying fake settings of famous destinations.

T5. Spatially (I guess) the centerpiece @RedLineDenver was series of low-color photos of people with body changes (?), by Phillip @MrToledano

T6. (with image) Here's one by Colorado artist Christine Buchsbaum I thought lovely @diaper_wolf would enjoy, maybe. @RedLineDenver

T7. What's also neat about @RedLineDenver is that the studios of the artists in residence are open for you to look around in.

T8. (with image) Some studios @RedLineDenver seem more like exhibits, as Laura Shill's. If only I could've had this room as a child!

T9. @RedLineDenver I wanted to leave a post-it in Dylan Scholinski's studio asking if I could come back to read Hillman's Suicide & the Soul.

T10. Snooping through the studios made me feel like the girl partner in Wong Kar Wai's Fallen Angels. Only I didn't masturbate. @RedLineDenver.

The following day, RedLine responded to my and another person's tweets. We had a little conversation, which is below.

RedLine. Thk u for mentions + RTs @heronpress @PreemiMaboroshi ! #CO Please help share this vid on REACH Studio today!


Me. @RedLineDenver @heronpress I definitely will. REACH studio seems like an awesome program!

(Later I posted the video.)

Me. Here's a segment on an awesome program at @RedLineDenver, a cool gallery in Denver.

RedLine. @PreemiMaboroshi Tks so much yort kind - we think so too  #COArts #Denver #Homeless #Charity Our #pinterest rocks too

7/3/15 review of group art exhibition Play Grounds at RedLine Denver

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2015 group art exhibition Play Grounds at RedLine, a contemporary art center in Denver, Colorado.

The show Play Grounds explored concepts like boundary and possession in a lot of different ways, psychological and material, and with art that spanned all kinds of media. In my thread I discuss some of these explorations. I also show a lot of pictures from the show, including work by Dan Tobin Smith, Augustina Woodgate, Anne-Marie Schleiner, Brody Condon, and Mary Flanagan.

Here is the link to RedLine's website. They are my favorite art institution in Colorado.
