booze and bacon
July 24-August 21, 2010

Summer is best used nursing a cocktail on the veranda, not for stewing over challenging concepts. 

Booze and Bacon is my personal foolproof recipe for crowd pleasing. A group of dynamic people indulging in simple pleasures is both the desired outcome and generative of the next. It’s like that kiss good night after a really good first date: enough of what you want to get you hooked for the second. Maybe we don’t learn that much along the way, but it sure is a hell of a ride.

This show will feature artists who have been exhibiting for years, sometimes in really important venues, and very young artists who have never shown anything outside of a school setting. There are too many artists, but it opens that space where you can try that ridiculous thing. It promises to be a good time. 

Brooke Barnett, Benjamin Bellas, Tola Brennan, Judith Brotman, Christopher Bungart, Ann Chen, Laura Davis, Meg Duguid, Jason Dunda, Kirk Faber, Brent Garbowski, Max Garett, Jeffrey Grauel, Matt Harrison, John Henley, Andrew Holmquist, Fred Holland, Michael Hunter, Carol Jackson, Brad Johns, Larry Lee, Kirsten Leenaars, Mican Morgan, Helen McElroy, Chris Naylon, William Newhouse, Susannah Papish, Laura Prieto-Velasco, Scott Ramon, Tim Schade, Sarah Wild, and Philip von Zweck. There maybe others…
