Formative Amalgamation- ART MURMERed!

We were pleased to see the crowds roll in to look at the beautiful work created by the artists of Formative Amalgamation.  Hard work deserves attention...

Traffic jam on W. Grand can only mean one thing. It's 1st Friday!

Art Murmur in full effect. Outside, the crowd is lining up to get inside the gallery...

Formative Amalgamations is the sculpture art of Teilor Good, Trent Nahas, Laurie Shapiro, Ben Stonberg with sound installstion by John Cassagnol. Curated by Kristi Holohan.

 People seemed pretty stoked on the welcome wall. The big mural installation by Laurie accompanied by work from Teilor and Trent.

 Sculptural work is interesting because it allows the guests to get physically inside the environment. This little girl seemed to be a little haunted by Ben's work.

We think 2013 is going to be a good year...

January Soft Opening

Open for business

Thursday soft openings are a great way to get an intimate look at the work before the big crowd rolls in on First-Fridays. A lot of friends and family came out to support the artists of Formative Amalgamations.

Setting Up Formative Amalgamations

This evening the artists of Formative Amalgamations got together at RPS to set up their show. It is a 3-d mainly sculptural show and they had to work together to create a cohesive installation of their collected work. 

Curator, Kristi Holohan shows Ben Stonberg's works to the other artists..

Trent Nahas has many pieces for the show. Mostly created with found objects.

I asked him where he got the lobster. He said it was his dinner. Kristi was amazed at his ability to take junk and make them desirable.

Music producer/ Sound Installation artist, John Cassagnol gave me a sneak preview of music he created for the event.

 

Artist, Telior Good said there are elements of children's illustrations in her work, which suggest  darker stories behind them.  

Installation artist, Laurie Shapiro unravels one of her epic pieces..

 

In fact here's a little video of her doing just that. It's like watching a dream unravel...

Oh and a little fox-dog came in to say hi

Grand opening is Thursday, January 3rd. Art Murmur opening is Friday, January 4th
