excerpt from Untitled, by Daniel Elliot Schaller:

"but perhaps i am guilty of nurturing my tiny ruins
and shortcomings into an uphill with only one way.
terrified
while you are merely restless. we make music
but in different rooms, pulled apart by fists and
sleeplessness."

Sound Of Paint, July 29-Aug 2, 2008

This is an art project of 'variation rather than destination'.  As passive audience members, we are familiar with music and painting as a finished product. The artist has spent his or her time in the studio, and the musician, time in the production room, to make the song or artwork that we now see and hear.  What might happen if we watch the process unfold in real time, right before our own eyes? Do we become a part of the art ourselves?  

Artists and musicians interact in 7 different live paint session while YOU watch. Classical, hip-hop, rock, ambient and jazz musicians interact with fine art painters, cartoonists', graffiti artists. You will want to come. There will be surprise invitations for audience participation. All ages are welcome and all sessions are free and open to the public. BYOB !! Thanks to our co-sponsors, Tucson Pima Arts Council, Ace Hardware, and Dinnerware Artspace.

* Watch us with Sooyeon Lee, channel 6 KUAT *

Artists include: Ana-Elisa Arredondo, Adan Banuelos, Carly Cutrone, Adam Cooper-Terán, Roberta Gentry, Rocky Martinez, Danny Martin, Matt Dobbyn Meko, Modernus, Pop Futura, Andrew Shuta, Andy Steinbeck, Shazar

Curated and organized by Molly McClintock, this project combines the artistry of both musicians and visual artists. Watch a synergistic force of creativity, as Music and Paint come together. Experience the creation with us. All sessions are free and open to the public. BYOB !!

WRITE AND REACT, May 14-31, 2008

WRITE AND REACT
28 Emerging Artists and Writers explore the connections
between Visual Art and the Written Word.
Presented by MAXED ART.




Presenting 14 local Tucson artists and 14 writers, WRITE AND REACT is an art exhibit which opens May 14, and runs until May 31, 2008 at the new Arts Incubator Gallery, 108 E. Congress St., Tucson, Arizona. Artist Reception happens Friday, May 16, with soul music by L EYE, and is free and open to the public. Gallery Hours are Mon-Sat, Noon-6pm. Presented by MAXED ART, a multi-disciplinary artist collective, WRITE AND REACT is a collaborative group exhibition featuring poetry, prose, painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media artworks.

WRITE AND REACT investigates the inspiration, influence and information that arises between the separate mediums of the written word and visual art. Each writer was invited to submit a written work of their choice, either poetry, or prose. Then, each visual artist was randomly paired with a writer. The artist was then asked to create a new work of art that was inspired, influenced or informed by the writing they were given. The resulting art exhibit features each collaboration as a pair, the written work shown next to the visual artwork. Artworks are for sale, as well as individual broadsides of the written work, with proceeds going directly to the artists and MAXED ART funds. This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from Tucson Pima Arts Council.

WRITE AND REACT features writers from Houston, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Several artists and writers are current University of Arizona students. All participants in this project are emerging talents.

Select artworks from the exhibit will be featured at University of Arizona's Conceptual Poetry Symposium, May 29-31st. Please visit the UA Poetry Center website for more information.

Pictures from the Reading of Plume Zine, Issue 1

Debut

Mural artists, Jaxun Doten, Roberta Gentry [AKA Bobbi], Joe Robles, and Danny Martin, [with extra help from Kate McHugh, Molly McClintock and Rocky Ponce] got together and furiously painted over the course of two weekends to bring you this:








If you are in Tucson, you have no excuse not to come view the magic in person.

Jaxun had suggested that we paint zombies. His comments:

"We all want the truth. When you turn on the TV, any number of news stations claim to have it. so what keeps our attention on one rather than another?

Entertainment.

But the combination of news and entertainment has backfired. Rather than product evolution and corporate competition leading to a perfected news machine, it has left the general populace in a confused and media saturated, zombie-like state, still scrambling for truth."

Our first weekend was successful, but by Wednesday, 4 of the 6 panels had been tagged. Though a little disheartened, we got out there again, on the following weekend, and re-painted the mural.
When we finished painting, we coated the mural panels with an icky-slimy 'sacrificial anti-graffiti coating'. Bobbi and Molly are quite possibly suffering unknown toxic effects now, as a result of the snot-like substance that oozed onto their skin, numerous times...

MAXed Art thanks our sponsors:
Southwestern Paint and Supply
Dinnerware Artspace
Rialto Theatre

We also thank the wonderful friends who put aside all fear of public ridicule and distorted themselves to pose for a Jaxun zombie. We couldn't have done it without you.
