March Madness : Collage At The Next Gallery Denver

IMAGE: MATTHEW ROSE G&C SWAN SONG, 2011.

March Madness is here: Collage madness.

The Madness of Collage, a large group show of collage artists across the planet will open at The Next Gallery in Denver Colorado on 8 March 2013. 

My work was first exhibited in Denver in 2006 when I filled The Capsule Gallery, directed by Laurie Lynnxe Murphy with more than 1000 collage works in a show entitled Spelling With Scissors.  The wall to wall to wall to floor to ceiling exhibition was the gallery's swan song and it soon after changed hands.  See a little YouTube video of me dancing in the gallery space.

I originally sent in 7 of my God & Country works on paper – a series I exhibited here in Paris in 2011 at Storie in Montparnasse, but fearing after nearly a month of silence they were lost in the combined labyrinths of both US and French postal systems, I sent in an additional 7 works.  The moment the second package was mailed the first arrived (of course).  In total 14 works on paper will be on view in the exhibition.

NYC POP UP ART WORLD : A BIGGER BANG

PHOTO OF JEREMIAH JOHNSON at his Pop Up exhibition NEVER ENOUGH with Converge Gallery.

The Pop Up Art Show is getting some mojo.  Converge Gallery is the latest (and I know because I exhibit with them) in pioneering this trend right into the heart of the NYC Art world. Converge Gallery is based in Williamsport, PA (home of the Little League World Series).  Kind of in the middle of nowhere, a nice nowhere but out there.  In NYC the latest incarnation of the gallery's efforts to generate buzz : Jeremiah Johnson's Never Enough.  The show was noted and explored by next big thing spotter web zine The Empty Lighthouse: The Pop Up Trend.
