However many words are supposedly in a picture, however many sentences add up to a brushstroke, at some point the difference between the two becomes immaterial. Isn’t a word just a picture composed of pictures? And what about Wayne White? Try telling Paul Reubens that his $#!+ ain’t art. When reduced to their most elemental states, word and image become interchangeable-black ink on white paper, characters, scenes, compositions; point, line, square, cube, spiral, explosion, dripping down the wall. Some like to say it’s not that black and white, but maybe it is, maybe black and white just aren’t what you thought they were-not opposites, but parallels- primordial companions, dream creatures that you see only when your eyes are closed.

Fresh Produce Art Collective and resident artists from SeedCo Studios present: “BLANDSCAPE,” a Blk/ Wht Show at the Lost Art Sp_ce starring black and white, whether lurking in the shadows of a building, disguised as a forgotten landscape, or hidden in plain sight. The show opens Friday, January 25th.

HOLIDAY HYPE!

November 24, 2012 //
0

The Fresh Produce Art Collective presents a series of Underground Art Market events this holiday season, beginning with Black Saturday, November 24th at the Lost Art Sp_ce downtown. This exhibition will feature smaller works, prints, ephemera, and artist proofs- “leftovers” culled from the work of the previous twelve months. It also kicks off the theme of X Mass @ Lost Art Sp_ce an ongoing show that invites people to get under the surface of consumer culture and discover art and artifacts that resonate with deeper meaning, and keep the exchange of commerce within the local community. On November 30, the gallery will feature the Downtown Underground Art Market as part of the Final Fridays Art Walk, which will condense and rarify the conglomerated works into a voodoo fit of apoplexy befitting the spirit of the season.

Following close on its heels, the Fresh Produce Art Collective is reported to been seen making works for an inaugural Kansas City show opening on December 7th, part of the Crossroads Art District’s First Friday Art Walk. Details are sketchy, but sources close to members of the collective say the show, entitled “Glimpse” will give viewers a chance to see works being created in and around the environs of the SeedCo Studios in East Lawrence, KS. The exhibition space, located at 19th and Wyandotte will feature the works of artists Jeremy Rockwell, Molly Murphy, Erok Johannsen, Alicia Kelly, Jeromy Morris, Matt Ridgway, Jesse Gray, Yuri Zupancic, and Paul Flinders , and after the 7th will be open with holiday hours as well as available by appointment.

To round out the celebrations are two events at the SeedCo Studios: On Saturday Dec. 15, the East Side Underground Art Market Invitational will showcase the wares of local purveyors of fine art, contemporary crafts, jewelry, furniture and more, as well as open studios featuring the work of Seed Co’s resident artists. And finally New Year’s Eve at SeedCo: Post Apocalyptic End of the World Show featuring a slew of surprise musical guests and performers, televised live to a worldwide audience.

Lost Art Sp_ce is located at 825 Massachusetts St., below the Phoenix Gallery. Gallery hours are 12-6 Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday & 12-8 Thursday-Saturday.

SeedCo. Studios is located at 826 Pennsylvania St. For viewing appointments and questions about renting studio or event space emailfreshproduceartcollective@gmail.com.

UNDO

September 21, 2012 //
0

This month’s Final Friday show at Lost Art Space continues the theme of the salon style exhibition of small and mid-sized works by members of the Fresh Produce Art Collective as well as several guest artists also working in the SeedCo Studios. The show seeks to explain, by the act of undoing, the ways that ideas and energy circulate, not just like the leaves falling off of the tree, but like the tree falling in the woods. In addition to the current exhibit, new works, deliberately undone, or half finished will be interspersed, allowing the audience to have a window into the processes of the works, as well as possibly enter into the dialogue. The finished works will be shown as part of October’s Final Friday show, which will celebrate the one year anniversary of Fresh Produce downtown as Lost Art Space. Check out lostartspace.com for more information about upcoming exhibits,and seedcostudios.com for information about events and open studios. 

The Lost Art Space is open daily from 2-8pm Mon-Thurs, 12-8pm Fri, Sat, and 2-6pm Sunday at 825 Massachusetts, in the basement of the Phoenix Gallery. Presented by Fresh Produce Art Collective, Phoenix Gallery, and SeedCo Studios.

BOOM!

August 20, 2012 //

Fresh Produce Art Collective, The Phoenix Gallery and SeedCo studios present an event at the new Lost Art Space… 

BOOM!

is a multi-layered, salon-style, mixed and mashed up media, part pop- culture social satire, part neo-realistic post contemporary, iconoclastic yet sincere production derived from sub-primitive algorithms and robotically intoxicated hand- style embellishment, with a distinct undertone that attempts to simulate the experience of descending into the depths of endlessly bifurcating entropy and returning unscathed, carrying a small, but powerful talisman as a reminder of the journey.   In other words, the show will attempt to fit a very large amount of work into a rather small space, creating the impression of    a virtual explosion of visual stimulation and artistic expression. It’s up to the viewer to pick up the pieces… Lost Art Space   is located downtown in Lawrence, KS, underground in the basement of the Phoenix Gallery at 825 Massachusetts St. The opening reception will coincide with the Final Fridays art walk on Aug. 31st.

STARE

June 16, 2012 //

Fresh from a residency in the former Penny Annie’s candy shoppe, artists Paul Flinders, Jeromy Morris, Erok Johanssen, Jeremy Rockwell, Jesse Gray, and Yuri Zupancic will continue to bring their perspectives into the fold of the Lawrence art scene. Located at 825 Massachusetts St. in the basement below the Phoenix Gallery, the Lost Art Space will depart from an abandoned storefront aesthetic in favor of a clean white box. The art presented on the walls will continue to push the envelope with content, style and material innovation. The space will present its first show, STARE, on June 29 to coincide with downtown Lawrence’s Final Fridays Art Walk.

AFTER OURS

The candy shoppe has closed, but as always, the closing of one door leads to the opening of another. The resident artists of Lost Art Space would like to invite you to come open the door to their new studio at 826 Pennslyvania. Artists Paul Flinders, Jeromy Morris, Erok Johanssen, Jesse Grey, Jeremy Rockwell, and Yuri Zupancic will be moving their residency into this industrial warehouse space in the newly emerging east side Lawrence Arts District. Please join us for “After Ours” as we open our new studios to the public for the very first time.  We will have an intimate gathering of those who have continually supported us in our efforts to strengthen the Lawrence arts scene. “After Ours” will follow the reception for “STARE” at the new Lost Art Space on this Final Friday of June. Come be a part of the first of many exciting happens in the new Lawrence Arts District.
