Here’s the story you know and love.

In the great green room
There was a telephone
And a red balloon
And a picture of
The cow jumping over the moon
And there were three little bears sitting on chairs
And two little kittens
And a pair of mittens
And a little toy house
And a young mouse
And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush
And a quiet old lady who was whispering “hush”
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon
Goodnight light
And the red balloon
Goodnight bears
Goodnight chairs
Goodnight kittens
And goodnight mittens
Goodnight clocks
And goodnight socks
Goodnight little house
And goodnight mouse
Goodnight comb
And goodnight brush
Goodnight nobody
Goodnight mush
And goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush”
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Good night noises everywhere

Ep. 070 Brett Fox - Photographer, Transmissions

Time, Space & Face
Brett Fox Solo Exhibition
1553 Platte Street, Denver, Unit 100

March 5th – March 28th

In his first solo show Brett Fox brings an unorthodox form of photography; from his photographing of people and places, to experimentation with movement, materials and process, it is ultimately about faces, “the roadmap of the soul.” His work creates visions that lean more towards feeling than storytelling, a “transmission” of the visual, into a rhythmic experience. Fox’s work feels deeply personal, and unexpected, lending first a title of more contemporary artist, than photographer.

This show brings one year’s worth of compelling work and growth together, exploring the viewer’s perception of time as it relates to an unchanging subject, and physical space between the work and the viewer.

WORKS IN PROCESS – Collaboration featuring Michael Dowling & Brett Matarazzo

A progressive journey elevating the process as performance art.

Date March 5th – March 26th Location – BRDG project - 1553 Platte Street, Denver 80202

In their first collaboration exhibition, Dowling & Matarazzo let process drive. Traditionally shows glorify the completed work, which is but a second in the hour of creativity… but the beauty and interest in both of their works lies equally in journey. Focusing on materials and process, both traditional, and unorthodox, invites the patron into the depths of the art process, and turns the show inside out.

They explore both growth and deconstruction, as a means to what drives beauty and regeneration before, during, and after completion. The show starts with the blank canvas, materials and tools as almost installation, while its eventual end is it’s actual Opening.

Ep. 015 Peggy Detmers - Sculptor, Lakota Bison Jump

Thu, 20 Feb 2020 03:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Wes and Todd are in Rapid City, South Dakota, to talk with artist and sculptor, Peggy Detmers. Detmers talks about how she got her start in sculpture, her precognitive dream that foretold the large commission, “Lakota Bison Jump”, she did for actor Kevin Costner’s Dunbar Resort, a resort that never came to fruition.

Detmers relates how she walked away from a lucrative art career to take on the commission and how in the end the broken promises and contract deemed non-binding by the South Dakota Supreme Court has left her scrambling to recoup the monies owed and salvage her distinguished career in art.

During the conversation we discuss the process of casting bronze, donating art to charities and business.

Join us for a cautionary tale from Peggy Detmers about taking on large commissions, contracts and what artists can do to protect themselves.
