LOVE-ARMOR in the Icebox @ Crane Arts Center
The LOVE- Armor project is a collaborative work describing the empathy felt for those existing in war torn Afghanistan and Iraq. The Icebox is in the Crane Art Center @ 1400 North American Street. Read the whole story here.
Sho & DoN were both drawn into the craftsmanship and thought utilized in the Hummer cozy including J. Crew style pockets, buttons and closures; the pictures of an actual Hummer covered in the crocheted cover reads like putting a daisy in the barrel of a gun. The space is divided in two with cloth banners separating the movie area documenting the creative process and collaboration involved in producing the huge piece and is an experience design in itself; the movie is heartening and hopeful considering the dire situation. No more War.
UD MFA @ Crane Arts Center
The lower gallery in the University of Delaware gallery in the Crane Arts building has work by recently accepted artists into the MFA program. The room always is a great space to show work, DoN found the current show of emerging talent to be rich, diverse and solid, the cement walls and floor offer a post-post neo-modernism vibe letting the art provide all necessary context.
Claudia Torres-Guillemand, Untitled, plaster and balloons. Futurism is what DoN thinks of observing these objects like each piece is communicating the moment of it’s creation as in Umberto Boccioni’s, “Unique Forms of Continuity in Space”, 1913.
Kenny Delio, Extinction, brown stoneware and wire. DoN LoVeS the mixed metaphors in the crafty sculpture with shades of Barney (the dinosaur), Alien, natural history, Metamorphosis – the reclining gesture implying a sleeping dragon or a turtle unable to right itself. Deep.
