MILK AND HONEY – CONTEMPORARY ART IN CALIFORNIA
2015-08-17Slow Culture is proud to present Milk and Honey: Contemporary Art in California. A 45 person group exhibition centered around the book comprised of painters, photographers, illustrators, sculptors, designers, and directors currently living and working in California. Curated by previous THIS Gallery co-owner, the late Justin Van Hoy, Milk and Honey showcases the amazing network of friends he was constantly cultivating. Designer, curator, and all around inspirational friend, Justin set the precedent for what we hope to achieve with our space.
“Conceptual notions are born and killed off in the blink of an eye because everything is visibly available instantly. This accelerated aging in the art world is the Internet’s fault, plain and simple.”
All of this is creating a very interesting time for the art world. New bodies of work, collaborations, and schools of artists are presented and discarded at such a rapid pace that many valuable artists and avenues of visual work are lost due to a lack of a proper stage. There is an absence of patience and cadence surrounding themes and viewpoints, and, as a result, we—the audience and participants—are a society that has come to rely on a constant stream of contemporary visual imagery in our everyday world.” – Justin Van Hoy
Exhibition runs through to September 4th, 2015
