Twist etc. Arcade #77 opening January 8th 2011
Artist Statement:
The Process of Product | 12 x 12
The content of this exhibition is more about recording the creative process than focusing on the typical "product" we are used to seeing in a gallery exhibition. Although, each artwork stands on it’s own as a finished work. Every artist involved was asked to generate ideas and/or make studies at the size of 12 x 12 inches based on their own creative desires. The result is an interesting look at what themes are born out of their subconscious. All of the individual ideas shown together create a kind of collective creativity, some having visual and/or intellectual connections with one another. Each 12 x 12 work is a moment along the way of developing one’s ideas. Working at this small scale encouraged experimentation and personal investigation.
Also deviating from the typical art exhibition is the way the viewer encounters and examines the artwork. Unlike the standard gallery format where works are spaced out in plain view, the grid invites people closer to see each work individually.
Bio:
Approximately 90 young artists from WKU were asked to take part in this exhibition. The over all majority are Art majors from Studio Art, Graphic Design or Art Education. The artistic backgrounds of those involved are extremely diverse, raging from no former artistic training to an abundance of pervious art and design classes. Professors Brent Dedas and Yvonne Petkus created and coordinated the project.

Sew:Repeat+ Merry Twistmas

Twist Art Gallery presents:
"Sew:Repeat" a series of quilts by Alexia Abegg in space #73
the show opens saturday december 4th and runs through January 29th.
we are closed the week of christmas and on new years day.
our gallery hours are thursdays and fridays
from 11-5 and saturdays from 11-3
The quilts in Sew:Repeat began as improvisational excercises. Each piece,
stemming from a singular and specific past memory or emotion, has evolved
forward to become a finished quilt. Every stitch marks not only the
originating idea but the passing of time taken to create the work. In this
sense, the pieces are tangible markers of a specific time and space, one
only the quilt and myself inhabited during the physical act of completing
each quilt. This space and the repetition of stitching connects me to the
generations of women before me, whom have left behind quilts that mark their
moment in time.
I invite you to stitch on the stretched quilt and participate in a centuries
old tradition, a quilting bee. The quilting frame used has been in my family
for over one hundred and twenty years. We will sit and stitch and bring that
history to the present.
Artists Statement and bio
Alexia Abegg, born in Folsom, California and raised in Nashville, Tennessee,
lives and works in Nashville. She has little formal training but grew up
learning to paint from her father, painter Jimmy Abegg, and to sew from her
mother, Michelle Abegg. She studied at O'More College of Design. Her first
love was watercolor and she continues to sketch and paint along with
quiltmaking. She teaches sewing classes in Nashville, bringing her love of
stitching to students. Her work has been shown with the Artist Collective
Nashville, D.I.G. and at Twist Gallery. This is her first solo show.
Alexia Abegg
Artist Statement
Through my work, I explore the tangible representation of passing time, the
act of quilting and the work left behind by generations of women before me.
As a woman, I am interested in gender roles and expectations in relation to
the medium of quilting; historically the work of women, work that is never
ending, with an intrinsic quality of necessity as the propulsion of
creation. I am reversing this tradition, with the creation of quilts not
with necessity at the core, but with self expression as the catalyst of
creation.
I began to work with fabric and stitches much like I had been doing with
watercolor and paper. Rather than following a pattern, like the quilters of
past generations in my family, I began to improvise and develop an
instinctual method. The lack of technical fluidity of the quilting medium
itself was a barrier. When painting, the brush was a physical extension of
my hand. I challenged myself to find the same fluidity with quilting and my
work has grown out of this improvisational method.
Each piece contains all of my energy and emotion expressed in the time used
to finish the work. Every stitch taken is a physical act, residing in a
specific space and time and is a concrete marking of that specific moment of
creation. These stitches in time will exist for as long as the work exists,
and because of it, they are an extension of my life and person. My work is
an extension of myself that has a history connecting me to thousands of
women that have taken needle to fabric. Their energy and moment in time is
marked by stitches in cloth, and surpasses their lifetime.
I am interested in the relationship between the existence of sewn goods and
both the person that made them and the consumer that uses them.
Not a person exists today that has no connection to sewing. Whether as the
consumer or creator, we are all participating in the existence of sewn
items. Most of these items are disposable, their life limited to the whim of
the consumer, their existence in space and time fleeting. Counter to this
process, I want to create pieces that carry the weight of time invested, and
because of that weight, are tied to the people around them in a way that is
lasting. I am creating visually identifiable markings within each quilt to
connect the viewer to the amount of time expended in the completion of the
work.
Through my quilts, I am attempting to create art that calls attention to
quilting as a medium not only as a decorative art, but as a form of fine
art.
I have included a photo of one of the quilts titled "tilt" 31"x 28" and my
photo.

Downtown Presbyterian church DIG SHOW 2011 call for works
CALL FOR ART / $1,000 PURCHASE PRIZE / ART DUE THURSDAY. MARCH 3RD
2011 D.I.G. THROUGH ART SHOW – THEME: "COMPASSION FATIGUE"
THE DOWNTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH – 154 5th AVE. SOUTH
“D.I.G.” means Dialogue: an Interaction for Growth.
Dear Artist,
The Downtown Presbyterian Church (DPC) of Nashville, Tennessee is pleased to announce this year’s winter/early spring art show, The D.I.G. Through Art Show. This year’s theme is Compassion Fatigue. DPC’s annual D.I.G. show, now in its 12th year, is meant to provide our community with a chance to come together and “D.I.G. through art.”
Artists are welcome to submit work in any medium. Entry requires a $15.00 per piece fee (two pieces maximum). Paintings and other 2-D work cannot exceed 6 x 10 feet. 2-D works must be dry, framed, and ready to hang with wire. Sculpture must be easily moveable. Installations must be approved for space reasons. Work must be delivered to the church on Thursday, March 3 at 3.00 p.m. Artists will be accepted into the show on a first-to-respond basis--please see attached entry information below (which can be also be emailed in). Works will be judged and a winner selected by a local jury comprised of seasoned art instructors, gallery curators, and/or clergy. DPC will be pleased to present the winning artist with a purchase prize check of $1,000.
There are no restrictions on the artwork except that the content be suitable to all ages, since it will be on display to the entire church body and the downtown community – young and old. DPC reserves the right to not show any work.
The grand opening reception and presentation of the purchase award will be on Saturday, March 5th beginning at 6:00 p.m. This event coincides with the regular first Saturday downtown community Art Crawl and the church’s monthly art show and live music activities.
The D.I.G. show began at DPC in 1998 as an extension of the church’s artists-in-residency program. Today, the church hosts nine artists who each have their own dedicated space in the building. These shows have explored different themes each year. Previous themes have included last year’s “Anti-depressant," as well as "Embodiment,” “Icons and Idols,”“Incarnation and Risk,” and “Human Sacrifice.”
Lent is the church season of 40 days (not including feast days) before Easter. This year, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 9th and continues through Holy Week, ending just before Easter Sunday, April 24th. The season is symbolic of both the 40 years of Israel’s wandering in the desert and the 40 days of Christ’s fasting and temptation in the wild. DPC feels this is an appropriate season to invite artists to join the church in wrestling with challenges and complexities of faith.
Alongside the themed art show, the church will again host a film series in DPC’s downstairs chapel on Thursday nights during the weeks of Lent. A light meal (held at 6.00 p.m.) will be provided weekly in DPC’s Fellowship Hall before each film (starting at 7.00 p.m.). After each film, guests are encouraged to stay for a short discussion, sharing impressions and ideas from the motion picture.
Important Facts:
· Limit: 2 pieces maximum per artist
· Entry Fee: $15.00 per piece per artist (checks payable, please, to: Downtown Presbyterian Church)
· This is a first come first serve show. Your entry fee reserves your space in the show. Please send the check in right away to reserve your space using the form below. Space in the show cannot be guaranteed without an artist supplying their entry fee (see following page).

November's First Saturday Gallery Crawl promises new exhibits galore
Crawl Space
by JOE NOLAN
Not only is there art at "The Crawl," there is an art to navigating it. This month, the downtown migration of art openings and exhibits features new faces, a local art celebrity and a whole handful of shows opening under one sometimes-overlooked roof. But armed with a game plan, you can negotiate the high points with the dangerous grace of an art-drunk drift racer.
You've come to the right place!
The big news at November's First Saturday Gallery Crawl is the debut of COOP, a new curatorial collective that will program half of the new Twist Etc. space at 75 Arcade in the coming year. The group's first effort is "Wraslin' With God," a performance piece by Reverend Ethan Acres of the Church of the Holy Fool. Acres' work evokes religious ecstasy from the absurd, borrowing tropes from that cuckoo corner of Christianity that includes drive-thru churches, JumboTron sermonizing and heavy metal for Jesus. Hey man, you had us at "ecstasy." Acres' performs promptly at 7:30 p.m.
COOP plans to present new and under-represented artists, and their non-commercial agenda is a nice fit with Twist's mostly art-for-art's-sake programming. Twist's new show of photographs by Shane Doling is a great example. Holiday Child is a series of narrative outdoor images that feature a hooded man dressed in a suit and tie. The hood casts Doling's subject as both a blinded captive of a kind and a masked killer of a sort. Doling has also worked with video, and the viewer can think of these images as stills from an unseen film about both the loss of innocence and the endurance of wonder. It's the kind of work that resonates with the interior landscape of an attuned viewer, even if it clashes with the couch.
On the other side of 5th Avenue, Tinney Contemporary opens a new show by New Orleans artist, Sidonie Villere. Villere's multimedia paintings are covered in unlikely textures, but it's her minimal, organic sculptures — often resembling stones or bones covered in gold leaf and steel spray paint — that we really want to get our hands on.
If you didn't see Whitney Wood Bailey's cave art-inspired, psychedelic paintings at Rymer Gallery in October, you have a second chance this month. Half of her show stays up while Rymer makes room for Sound Spectrum, the latest exhibit by Herb Williams. One of Nashville's most popular artists, Williams has had a busy year. His Plunderland exhibit in New York's Rare Gallery was a room-sized installation that signaled new heights for the artist's craft and concepts. Spectrum is a homecoming of sorts that finds Williams exploring the parallels between social networking and mixtape culture. This time around, his ubiquitous crayons are cast as compelling, colorful negative space.
The Arts Company opens with two new painting series that take their cues from a particular pop-cultural artifact. Denise Stewart-Sanabria paints hyperrealist canvases and, while we usually prefer more abstract work, the subject here makes her stuff look good enough to eat. Stewart-Sanabria's twin exhibits, Donuts Behaving Badly and Seven Deadly Sins, read like a food-porn double feature that aims to decide the Dunkin' Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme debate once and for all. The gallery will also feature Chris Beck's found-object work. The artist's Real Housewives of the 1950s is an exhibit of multimedia, metal wall-sculptures that nod to both folk art and mid-20th century Life Magazine photography.
Don't forget to stroll a few blocks up Broadway to the Tennessee Art League to check out their reception for no less than five new gallery shows. Our favorite is Kristina Lyle's exhibit of cut paper collage paintings opening in the TAL's Ethel Smith Gallery.
The fall will always be the best time of year for gallery crawling. The weather is perfect, the art is at its best and everyone tends to become a busier browser once Halloween has come and gone and we begin sliding down that slippery slope toward the hectic holiday season.
No pressure.
Happy crawling!

we love robots
From David and Sarah Dark's awesome blog
http://davidsarahdark.blogspot.com/2010/10/robot-lifeguard-electrocuted-everyone.html
The Robot LifeGuard Electrocuted Everyone.
This is my first foray into composing science fiction. Wait, that's not entirely true. In high school, I took the legend of Frosty the Snowman down a distinctly sci-fi path which I might choose to share more broadly some day soon. In the glorious meantime, I give you my shortest story: The Robot lifeguard electrocuted everyone. Feel free to commit it to memory and share it with others. You can place it alongside Hemingway's attempt at shortness which I reprint here without permission: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn." Mine, let the record show, is shorter (word-wise), and will also serve as the title of an upcoming work of fiction.
Friend, doppelgänger, and lead singer of Bulb, Todd Greene, was kind enough to give me the above illustration. Enjoy.
That is all.
UPDATE: The above illustration is available as a print (signed by the illustrator and the author), a t-shirt, AND (should the perceived need arise) a refrigerator magnet. For details, contact david dot dark at vanderbilt dot edu
