Found art derives its identity as art from the designation placed upon it by the artist—taking an object and re-imagine it through the lens of art. Is there some precious item kicking around in your closet that you’ve always wanted to turn into a magnificent piece? what about that bird cage you found on the street last week? are those stacks of magazines in the corner calling to you with a siren’s song? make them into something good and we’ll showcase it for you!

resurrection [an art show]
at good: a gallery | 4325 n mississippi

friday. april 3.
from 7pm until 10pm.

support local artists….support local gallery owners….get some good art….drink some wine…chat some folks up.

was there something more important you were doing with your friday night?!?!?

disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability.

the scale of the  “disaster” takes us outside of the mini-dramas of everyday tragedy and into the epic sweep of human history. will the disappearing honeybee cause the collapse of the biosphere? will a meteor land on your house triggering catastrophic climate change? is the world government a troupe of nefarious clowns bent on stealing your soul? will that hangnail you found this morning turn out to be the first indicator of a global pandemic?

maybe.

where is the place where your vulnerability smacks right up against hazard? what disaster are you most afraid of — or excited by? where is that place where your work, your life, or your future balances right on the edge of disaster? we’d like to know.

announcing good’s May show:

May Day! May Day! May Day! [art about disasters]
