UPCYCLED: Spring/Summer 2010
UPCYCLED: Spring/Summer 2010 is a group exhibition of wearable art made from recycled materials, featuring the work of Judith Selby Lang, Sara Goldenberg, and the Wearable Shelter Project. Each of these works shows the hidden beauty and value in the detritus of our consumer society.
Humor & Pathos / Gary Sweeney
Humor & Pathos aptly describes Gary Sweeney’s approach to art and life in general. Contagiously charismatic with a refined taste for wittiness, Sweeney’s visual vocabulary includes common icons of popular culture, ranging from hand-painted advertisement and neon signs to television shows and road trip memorabilia.
Mi Frontera Es Su Frontera / Tony Ortega
Denver artist Tony Ortega has long been renowned for chronicling the richness of the Hispanic experience. He utilizes his signature style of bold coloration, simplified forms, anonymous figures and cultural icons to explore community life, family, urban and rural sectors, youth culture, popular culture and cultural politics.
Ropes / Pattie Lee Becker
In this exhibition of drawings and sculptures, Becker, a recent transplant from Brooklyn, explores the boundaries and beauty in the seemingly mundane materiality of ropes.
Relational Fabric in Space / Steve Steele
Comprised of three mixed media installations, Steve Steele includes 333 objects, bulbs, platforms and wood panels.
Face to Face / Beverly McIver
In this exhibition, we come face to face with this exceptional artist as a powerful black woman facing her demons and her strengths.
Fountain / Andrea Modica
Andrea Modica’s work is neither defined as documentary photography or portraiture.
The Surface and Beneath / Heather Wilcoxon
Heather Wilcoxon’s paintings lie in the intersection between folk art, outsider art and expressionism.

Jezebel / Carla Gannis
Carla Gannis’s Jezebels rail at the mythology, history and stereotypes that have shaped and defined femininity within our collective unconsciousness for many generations. This archetype is not a single woman but a compilation of multidimensional characters playing in turn the nonconformist, social beauty, revolutionary, wanton sex goddess, victim and superhero. Using appropriated iconography from classic [...]
Ideology of Paradise / Hiroshi Watanabe
Hiroshi Watanabe was born in Sapporo, Japan and currently living in Los Angeles. His photographic series The “Ideology of Paradise” turns its lens to the richness of North Korea, a country that is self-described as paradise.
