me and rude have been working since winter on our small scale concrete olmec heads. the olmecs were the first known culture to be discovered in the americas, pre-dating the aztec , mayan and inca civilizations. the olmec carved over ten feet tall collosal heads out of stone believed to be images of their leaders. the version we’ve created is a little smaller at 20 inches tall and cast out of concrete. we cast them with displacement in the middle witch keeps the weight down to about 160 lbs. witch makes it easy for two people to pick up and move, but difficult for anyone person to walk away with. we are asking $250.00 thru the good gallery and are looking for other retail opportunities  we’ve already found homes for a few of them and are taking orders either thru e-mail or good brick and mortor.

in other news, there still is one weekend left to see colleen flanigan’s  amazing show”slideways” . her show comes down on sunday afternoon and her tiles are available for pickup this weekend. also the deadline for submissions for “the cutting edge” is this sunday at 6pm. call or e-mail with any questions about this up and coming group show. every thing i’ve seen so far is awesome.

thanks good people. enjoy the summer!

hey every body , summer has come to portland as scheduled right after the forth of july, but in time for the mississippi avenue street fair. the fair keeps growing and growing, i think there are four stages for music and entertainment and vendor booths stretching from skidmoore to freemont. it’s always great to look down mississippi and see it packed with people. the gallery will be open it’s normal hours from noon to seven. we had a great turn out for colleens opening, thanks to everybody who made it . if you didn’t make it i’m putting up some images on the web and it will be up until august first.

august first is also the dead line for delivery of work to be considered for “the cutting edge” our august group show that opens august 6th. please bring work to the gallery during our weekend hours, if you can’t make it when we are open please e-mail me and we can set up a time.

also this weekend will be the introduction of olmec industry’s first product, a 22 inch tall concrete olmec head , to be enjoyed in lawns and gardens every where. you’ll be able to see and order the new  olmecs this weekend at the gallery.

it’s going to be an awesome weekend and i look forward to seeing you all at the street fair.

if you haven’t been to the gallery this month you still have this weekend to see nicky kriara’s “articulate”. if you have ever made a mixed tape i think you’ll like her take on them.

good luck getting your sharpening your edges.

scott

our next show opening on may 7th will be a solo show called “articulate” by nicky kriara. if you want to see what she’s been up to she just hung a new show of paintings that opens this tuesday night at the moloko plus (aka the whitebar) on mississippi. she has seven new paintings on the theme of playing domino’s  called “bones”  the reception will go from 7:30 to 11 pm.

and finally if you still need to pick up a cow head from “feedlot” they have been bagged and tagged and are at the red e cafe ready for pick up. if you didn’t get a chance to get a little cow they are still available in the back room of the gallery.

thanks again for all the interest and support.

scott

in other news “feedlot” came down at the red e cafe and if you purchased a cow they are ready for pick up. just ask the barista for your cow.  if you didn’t get a chance to get your own little heffer i have a small heard in the office at good.

happy good friday! see you tonight!

scott

the second thing is that the dead line for submissions for consideration to be in next weeks show “creepy crawlies” is also this sunday at six. if your work is ready feel free to bring it by on saturday afternoon. from what i’ve seen so far i think it will be a very interesting show.

on a personal sculptural note. the third good thing i wanted to remind you of is my show “feedlot” over at the red e cafe.  the corn didn’t survive the warm climate of the coffee shop so well ,but the cows are still doing great! i think the feedlot will be up for at least another week so enjoy the coffee and the cows.

thanks.
