SAFI



SUMMER GALLERY NIGHT
FRIDAY JULY 29th, 2011 from 5 to 10 p.m.


New Work includes Dianne Soffa's thick blue water paintings, Jane Gates' new paintings on paper about a soft summer day, and Tom Kovacich's hybrid painting/sculpture concoctions with monoprints.

Jane Gates' work goes international with a show at the prestigious Macay Museum of Contemporary Art in Merida, Mexico in 2013. See her work on gallery night before it starts to travel.

And ONLY AT SAFI: Milwaukee video artist and musician Scott Johnson premieres his second installment of WALKTHROUGH running continuously throughout gallery night in the Safi Studios vestibule. WALKTHROUGH is an experimental video series for looped projection with a pixelated skyward vantage point incollaboration with Virginia based noise-music ensemble Ancient Noir. This 2nd piece in the series was shot at the Port of Milwaukee and composed with industrial elements of factories, domes, power lines, bridges and misty skies.

Finally, Judy Golombowski presents her beautiful digital prints as you enter the main gallery.

Sconfinato Drive



Wonderful creations and methods in contemporary residential design; especially in the manner and the ideas formed by the use of the materials made available of-the-day.

Dymaxion House

Dymaxion House was purchased, preserved [best intent], and currently on view at the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI.

Fuller's work looks delicious: a metal-clad DQ sundae! I'm more curious to know if the little boy in the foreground is standing next to a goat, or a dog?

The Biosphere is impressive. Still, on an overcast day its absolutely haunting.

On Battleship Hill

The scent of Thyme carried on the wind
stings your face into remembering
that nature has won again.

On Battleship Hill's caved in trenches,
a hateful feeling still lingers,
even now, 80 years later.
Cruel nature.

The land returns to how it has always been.
The scent of Thyme carried on the wind.
Jagged mountains, jutting out,
cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth.
On Battleship Hill I hear the wind,
Say "Cruel nature has won again."
