An Art Book For Sale!
I have a wonderful catalog for sale at the phenomenal Catharine Clark Gallery. In their Bookstore, titled Significance Machines and Purposeful Robots.
Inside the recently expanded Catharine Clark Gallery is a series of new exhibition spaces, viewing rooms, bookstore, media room and more. All 9,200 Square feet of art to view.
All for free!
In the bookstore is the wonderful catalog Katie helped produce in conjunction with Saint Mary’s College Museum of Art, For sale.
The exhibit originated at the CC Gallery in 2015. The question I asked was, “Can technology do Spiritual Work?”
It included guest DJ spots by Paul Kos, Chris Johanson, Scott Hewicker, a live soundscape by Tom Greenwood, a tequila pouring machine that poured down the leaf of a live agave plant, photos of the sun and the moon, a bunch of other works and an exhibit in the backroom by Jo Allen Harvey! An amazing talk by Buddhist deacon Allister Shanks, which was deep and the gallery was more than overflowing with folks spilling into lobby listening in.
The catalog was designed by the brilliant local and great Chris Carlson. There are several essays, by Katie, Lauren M. McDonald, a short statement by yours truly, the extremely insightful Tanya Zimbardo and Anuradha Vikram.
The exhibit originated at Katie’s gallery and expanded, grew and moved to Saint Mary’s University in 2019. Much of this work has been shown at multiple venues since then.
The catalog has a lot of photos of the two exhibits and a couple of drawings.
I made a harp that was played played by Strawberry Creek in Berkeley, California, a breathing pillow praying robots, a briefcase with a spinning Buddha and a soundtrack.
So cruise by the gallery, look at the deepest art out there, duck into the bookstore and pick up the catalog.
