Reverb Sculpture Show at The Tan

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

A group gallery exhibit at The Tan, featuring the sculptural work of local artists. Reverb references an acoustical phenomenon in which parallel surfaces produce sound waves that encounter each other head on, at directly opposing angles. These waves either cancel each other out in a flattening effect or merge to form mega waves.

This acoustic structure has been used as an entry point for this exhibit. Artists have created sculptures that address, respond, and build on one another in mappable trajectories throughout the gallery space. These connections have been generated through materials, form, and spatial relationship, and challenge the viewers to trace the resonating dialogue between sculptures.

Artists Featured: Chuck Cook, Brandon Eagan, Brittney Herpolsheimer, Crystal Kralian, Cortez Lovato, Jodi McCauley, Norma Ortega, Sara Rivera, Rob Rix, Eso Robinson

Show runs through December 19th with open hours Fridays and Satudays

13 Hour Jenny

Friday, November 25th, 2011

On Black Friday, November 25, 2011, Jenny Hipscher will attempt to fling herself out of an itchy basket of gloom and fears into a bigger basket of unknown outcomes in a 13 hour interactive performance of sorts at the Tan Gallery in Albuquerque. Inspired by the Occupy movement (among other things), Jenny has been wondering about the space and time she occupies and what occupies her time and space and if you’re wondering about that too and also if you’d like to occupy her time and share a space and maybe feather dust an alternate universe for a minute or two…Sign up for a time slot at: http://thetan.andrewtlyman.com/jenny/

As “spectators,” you can come and go as you please, but if you sign up, you have to keep your appointment! ***OVERLAPS ARE A POSSIBILITY, so even if all the time slots seem to be filled, they’re not! Sign up for any amount of time (1 minute, 2 hours) and bring and/or do ANYTHING. “Punch in” at your time slot and use your time however you want…or just bring yourself and see what happens.

Flyers From Another Planet

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

The Tan needs you!

Flyers From Another Planet

flyers from another planet

Flyers From Another Planet, will ask hundreds of artists (and good plain folk) from all over existence to create original and visionary flyers for shows, events, bands, and lost dogs that don’t exist.

The gallery space of The Tan will be filled with 9″ diameter utility poles floor to (11ft) ceiling. The poles will get covered in flyers and guests will wander the weird forest marveling at the many world(s) that could be.
And we want YOU! Send us a flyer from your dreams: bands from an alien world, the party you’ve always wanted to throw, the community announcement from Hell. . . There are absolutely NO restrictions on form, content, or materials. Make the coolest flyer you’ve never seen!

If you would like to submit a flyer, please do. Mail flyers to:
the Tan
1415 4th St SW
Albuquerque, NM 87104

Due Return Set to Set Sail

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

The Meow Wolf Due Return is just about ready to set sail this week. The long awaited opening will be the Friday, June 13th at 5 at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, NM. This is one of the most impressive installations I’ve ever seen and I am honored to have been involved (in however small a capacity). We’ve been building, wiring, gluing, painting, hauling, and sawing for almost two months now. Come explore another world right here on our own. Show will be up through July 10.

Fun-A-Day Roundup

Thursday, February 17th, 2011


For those who weren’t there, the opening was a smash. We were pretty much packed to the gills till midnight. I suppose that’s what you get when you have 31 artists included in a show. 31 artists with roughly 31 pieces each, so over 900 pieces of art in that space. It was a glowing evening of good-vibes and vibrant colors.

If you’d like to see more of the show check out Bethany DeLahunt’s photos here: You Are So Great. Bethany was also a participant in the show (she did the Failed Calendar which did well to cheer up those who were down on themselves from not getting their shit together).

A Full list of participants (in absolutely no order) is as follows so they can google themselves and have this (at least) show up: Ali Pate, Lauren Kostelnick. Andrew Lyman, Sarah Skenazy, Martha McGinnis, Ben Wood, Bradford Erickson, Bethany DeLahunt. David Cudney, Avery Kapala, Eva Avenue. Liza Bley. Andy Keane, Reina Patrick, Janice Kostelnick, Maggie Siebert, Robin McClannahan, Seth Matlick, Shantal DuBois, Alex Martin, Sofia Eleftheriou, Stacey Heim, John Abbott, Ivy Anna Costello, Stephanie Galloway, Eli Wentzel-Fisher, Justine Maldonado, Jenny Hipscher, Rich Kaplan, Chris Molla, and Jessica Hayden.

Thanks everyone. Hope to see you and more next year.

Fun-A-Day ABQ

So Fun-a-Day Projects are wrapping up. We’ve got a lot (over 20!) of people saying they’ve got work to be included in the show, so it’s going to be an interesting time. Many fell off the wagon (more than a few times) but many others soldiered on, creating a month’s worth of art. We’re really excited to host this show at the Normal next Friday. If you’re anywhere near Albuquerque, come say and see hello.

Star Simming

Monday, January 17th, 2011

star sim

I’ve been working on a Star Field Simulator for the Meow Wold Due Return Installation at the Santa Fe CCA in May. The installation is going to fill a 6,000 sq/ft room with an alien environment and a crash-landed inter-dimensional space ship. The sky is going to be composed of 384 LED stars running and pulsing on 48 different circuits. I’ve been writing a Sim for all of this in Processing so we can see how things may be handled. The project is easily going to be insane, and I encourage anyone interested to learn more and to support the Due Return on Kickstarter. If you have (or download) Processing, you can download and play around with the sim till your heart’s content.
