consideration given to what individual, community-based and/or
collective self care might look like, entail, require, or provoke for
artists, curators, organizers, researchers, and educators in Houston. <br /> <br />

<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Curated by Emily Sloan</span></b><br />
Exhibition Dates: March 4 – April 9, 2016<br />
Art League Houston is excited to present <i>The Kenmore: The Slow Game</i> by
Sebastien Boncy curated by Emily Sloan in conjunction with FotoFest
2016 Biennial. This exhibition features a selection of small-scale
photographs from the artist’s ever growing and uncategorized archive of
photographs that find resolution as sequences, installations,
publications and other types of image networks. This new work will take
the shape of a game, where the audience is asked to <i>Restore the Rules of the Universe</i> by interacting with a set of photographs.<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT SEBASTIEN BONCY</b><br />
Sebastien
Boncy was born and raised in Haiti, and now lives and works in Texas.
He received his BFA from the University of Houston, and his MFA from the
University of North Texas. Recently, his work has been exhibited at The
Oak Cliff cultural center, published in Sugar and Rice magazine, and
part of the multi-media presentation Houston No Limits at the
Co-Cathedral of The Sacred Heart. His writing currently appears in Not
That But This.<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT THE KENMORE</b><br />
Not just
another white cube, The Kenmore is a small, cold, mobile exhibition
object measuring approximately 36" x 24"x 24". The Kenmore's mission is
to keep ideas fresh through the opportunity of a unique exhibition
context and the experience of collaborating with an object.</div>

Art Center’s The BIG Show is inspired by the Salon des Refusés held in Paris in
1863. The original salon of 1863 consisted of artwork rejected from the
official Paris Salon. Exhibiting artists of the Salon des Refusés of 1863
included Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and James Whistler
among others. Following in the spirit of a statement from Napolean III about
such a salon of "Wishing to let the public judge...," this current
day version initiated in 2010 by artist Emily Sloan
allows Houston-area artists the opportunity to share their work regardless of a
juror's selection choices. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<i><b>Funeral Party</b></i> is interactive performance project comprised of the exploration of healing and death rituals to encourage participants towards realizations of the brevity of life and to aid in connecting to the present.</div>
<br />
<i><b>Funeral Party</b></i> will take place on New Year's Day, Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 14 Pews. There will be a eulogy writing service at 6pm with the Funeral Party to begin at 7pm. Those needing help with or wanting to explore their eulogies with others prior to the public presentation, please arrive at 6pm. Admission is a $5-$10 offering to offset funeral expenses. <br />
<br />
“The last funeral was so enriching and powerful, it really blew me away,” states organizer/curator Emily Sloan. “For at least a year after the first funeral party, people I met for the first time at the event were contacting me and sharing how it affected them. I am appreciative to be invited by 14 Pews to make this journey again.” <br />
<br />
The event will include visitation and drinking, eulogy writing assistance, a funeral service open to the public to speak, sing, share, etc., a funeral sound procession created by the audience along with whatever instruments they'd like to bring, and a funeral pyre for burning symbolic items contributed by the public.<br />
<br />
Funeral attire is encouraged.Observers are welcome.<br />
<br />
A potluck will follow the event.<br />

<i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> Keren
Cytter’s </span>Show Real Drama</i> was performed at DiverseWorks Art Space
October 10 through October 13, 2012. This performance is in conjunction with
Cytter’s exhibition <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Video Art Manual </i>about
the history and development of video art, on view in DiverseWorks’ galleries.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">For</span> Show
Real Drama</i><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">,
the actors are in the role of actors who are creating their own scenes
following failed attempts at finding work as actors. Each scene is introduced
with a projection of the words </span>Show</i><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">, then </span>Real</i><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">, then </span>Drama</i><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">For this multimedia
performance, the actors and the audience are present in the now, with the performers
acting out the drama of their relationship while at times even describing
audience members. A video projection of their previous interactions and “drama”
adds a time-based element and reveals more of their “real” drama. </span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The
combination of live performance and the time element of the video, along with
acting about acting, make for an experience of decided awareness of someone as
they experience an awareness of and interaction with themselves. As in her
exhibition on view where video art is examined through watching video footage,
we are examining drama through watching real drama. </span></i><br />
<br />
<i>Show Real Drama</i>, written and directed by Keren Cytter, came to
DiverseWorks Art Space following presentations at The Kitchen, Kunsthall
Bergen, and the Tate Modern among other venues. It is the last performance at
DiverseWorks’ current location. For more information about exhibitions and
their new location, please visit: <a href="http://www.diverseworks.org/">www.diverseworks.org</a>

Emily Sloan's solo exhibition. The opening reception is Labor Day
weekend, Friday, August 31, 6-9 PM. The exhibition continues through
Saturday, September 29, 2012.<br />
<br />
Emily Sloan is <span data-scayt_word="DARKE" data-scaytid="5">DARKE</span>
gallery’s artist in residence for 2012. Sloan will be using the
gallery as a studio, along with a small stipend, to create an exhibition
that will open on August 31. The four Saturdays in August are open
studio days, when the public can stop in and see the work in progress.
These open houses may include a simple time to visit, a performance
exercise or something inspired by <span data-scayt_word="mandalas" data-scaytid="7">mandalas</span>.<br />
<br />
<span data-scayt_word="Mandala" data-scaytid="9">Mandala</span> is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle." In the Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions, art often takes a <span data-scayt_word="mandala" data-scaytid="10">mandala</span> form. These <span data-scayt_word="mandalas" data-scaytid="8">mandalas</span>,
concentric diagrams, are often used as a spiritual teaching tools and
as aids to meditation and trance induction in meditation practices.<br />
<br />
The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the <span data-scayt_word="mandala" data-scaytid="12">mandala</span> as "a representation of the unconscious self”, and believed his paintings of <span data-scayt_word="mandalas" data-scaytid="13">mandalas</span> enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality.<br />
<br />
In common use, <span data-scayt_word="mandala" data-scaytid="16">mandala</span> has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos.<br />
<br />
The <span data-scayt_word="exhibtion" data-scaytid="20">exhibtion</span> will include a series of <span data-scayt_word="mandala-inspired" data-scaytid="21">mandala-inspired</span> shade sculptures and a video Sloan has created with Jonathan Jindra.<br />
<br />
Referencing the <span data-scayt_word="mandalas" data-scaytid="26">mandalas</span>, shade and light, the show title will be: "<span data-scayt_word="Enlight" data-scaytid="27">Enlight</span>"<br />
<br />
Emily Sloan has an MFA in sculpture and interdisciplinary studies
from the University of Houston and an MA from Stephen F. Austin State
University. She has participated in many artist residencies,
exhibitions, and the New York Studio School's Drawing Marathon in 2004.
Sloan's work incorporates drawing, sculpture and painting. Many of her
pieces use humor to engage the viewer in a <span data-scayt_word="dialogue" data-scaytid="30">dialogue</span> about the environment and preoccupations with the social. To view more of her artwork visit: <a href="http://www.emilysloanblog.blogspot.com/">www.emilysloanblog.blogspot.com.</a><br />

Current projects include the Southern <span data-scayt_word="Naptist" data-scaytid="31">Naptist</span> Convention 2012 at Venice Beach, CA; and The Kenmore exhibition object at Skydive Art Space.<br />

The 2012 Southern Naptist
Convention will be held the morning of Sunday, June 17 in Southern California at
the Venice Boardwalk in Venice, CA.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Southern California’s and specifically Venice’s abundance
of muscle, sand, and proximity to water make it a perfect site for sharing healthful
and relaxing blessed rest and immersion if needed,” according to Reverend
Emily. “In keeping with our belief: Let s/he who has never fallen asleep in a
church cast the first pillow, the convention, as always, is open to all
faiths,” added the Reverend. </div>

About the Southern Naptist Convention: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Napping Affects Performance (NAP) and the Southern Naptist
Convention are interactive performance projects by Emily Sloan providing
community naps in collaboration with various performances, including (but not
limited to) collaborations with sound, word, touch, and the delivery of naps to
various sites and/or contexts. In May and June of 2010, NAP operated out of Art
League Houston with six weeks of continuous performances taking place during
Art League’s regular hours of operation. Since then, followers and napophiles
began meeting once a month for a Sunday naps and naptisms during NAP Church
services. For more information, please visit:

sculptural intervention at The Kenmore, located at Skydive Art Space,
with water water everywhere. This one night only event will take place
on May 17, 2012 from 7:00pm to 10:00p.m.<br />
<br />
Featuring manipulated blue water balloons, some chilled by The Kenmore
and some warmed by the sun, water water everywhere is primarily
interested in abstract composition, with a hint to material qualities of
water, its mechanisms and transformations, and the pure, dripping
potential of the material.<br />
<br />
When asked about her motives, Brasier Young states, I’m a “disillusioned
ex-competitive swimmer and peaceful Galveston Island native, with a
personal relationship with water that is conflicted and sometimes leads
to ruminating.” While maintaining an allusion to those murkier
undercurrents, Karen seeks to redeem the celebratory aspects of water in
her mind through an intervention that taps into the youthful nostalgia
of water balloon fights and running through sprinklers on a
drought-stricken Texas summer day.<br />

McClain's installation transforms the inside of the refrigerator into a peepshow using "authentic" vintage porn of famous people including Sylvester Stallone, alleged vintage porn of famous people including Marilyn Monroe and recreated porn based on real porn including famous people such as Erin Andrews, the ESPN sportscaster who was surreptitiously filmed in the nude in her hotel room. Questions raised include our voyeuristic urges, our addiction to celebrity culture, and what it means to be authentic in a digital age.<br /><br />When asked about borrowing vintage porn for his work, McClain borrows Jim Jarmusch’s words: “Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.” Furthermore, states McClain, “Maybe I was an adult film star in Bulgaria before migrating to the United States…”<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXcAt2mC-KkTeAvS3YOyZYA0cgcqLLGOScX2WnB3RceGKRtJfDsPSDHisgAWMDuqNk_V-GGZ9bOF1wuu1ubeaeXiYo3KDS3N5X7fJb7o3CGU4GWB33tSSM74PYFxE_WYU9X51_vnmYeXh/s1600/TheKenmoreMcClain.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 321px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXcAt2mC-KkTeAvS3YOyZYA0cgcqLLGOScX2WnB3RceGKRtJfDsPSDHisgAWMDuqNk_V-GGZ9bOF1wuu1ubeaeXiYo3KDS3N5X7fJb7o3CGU4GWB33tSSM74PYFxE_WYU9X51_vnmYeXh/s400/TheKenmoreMcClain.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719958495219695586" /></a><br /><br />ABOUT THE ARTIST:<br />David McClain holds a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a JD from the University of Houston Law Center, and a BA from Rice University.

During my Many Mini residency, I listened to downloaded traffic sounds from Copenhagen through the water of my bathtub in Houston, Texas. This was a very conscious yet meditative experience which allowed my mind to wonder and dream of being in Copenhagen. At times, I felt the sounds of Copenhagen were on the other side of the wall as they were brought into a close parallel with the sounds occurring around me my Houston dwelling and neighborhood.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3UVRlNyheJxgOzwuxW-Rd4EE8e7naf87DWrwF7QFwLGajeMGp3AzkBJwEqSc3FenNhhAgqF5ongx4R5v5aOWzQ3tHVCMGIQLOgSgGcIM63TtXECtSECFjmA2Ypzpqx-QdyhaimTp1KFp/s1600/SloanManyMiniBathCrop-665x1024.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3UVRlNyheJxgOzwuxW-Rd4EE8e7naf87DWrwF7QFwLGajeMGp3AzkBJwEqSc3FenNhhAgqF5ongx4R5v5aOWzQ3tHVCMGIQLOgSgGcIM63TtXECtSECFjmA2Ypzpqx-QdyhaimTp1KFp/s400/SloanManyMiniBathCrop-665x1024.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698041217487670434" /></a><br /><br />About the Many Mini:<br />Many Mini Residency is a short-term residency program operated in conjunction with alternative exhibition venues in Europe and the United States. The name ‘Many Mini’ encompasses two main components of the project which is hosted in one room 24 hours a day for one week. The ‘Many’ describes the open call for proposals and the resulting multiplicity of responses and participants. The ‘Mini’ component of the residency describes the limited amount of time available and the scale of the room.<br /><br />Many Mini Residency is open to applicants from all disciplines (art and non-art alike) and encourages participants to customize their residency experience. There is no minimum time-limit for a stay at the residency but the maximum stay allows use of the space for half a day. The space may be used for public programs, personal studio time, a rehearsal space, a dinner, or whatever the resident sees fit. Participants provide documentation and a short statement about their time spent in the residency to serve as both a record and a resource displayed online as the final component of the project.<br /><br />In January 2012, Many Mini Residency will be hosted at Koh-i-noor, an artist-run independent project space in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 2004, the focus of Koh-i-noor is to create a space for experimentation and to have an influence on the discourse of contemporary art. Koh-i-noor aims to provide and uphold a collaborative, process-related and interdisciplinary, informal platform for open thought, information exchange and spatial experiments. Although operating within an international network, Koh-i-noor’s activities are also informed by and related to its local context and situation. Koh-i-noor seeks to ensure a critical distance and take position towards contemporary cultural and social conditions.<br /><br />Many Mini Residency: Copenhagen at Koh-i-noor will additionally exist in conversation with other Many Mini Residencies; the first hosted by The Berlin Office in Berlin, July 2008 and the second hosted by Skydive in Houston, TX, July 2011. Many Mini Residency not only provides an opportunity for interaction among participants within each locale, but creates a comparable portrait of each city where the residency is held.<br /><br />About Emily Sloan:<br />Internationally unknown multidisciplinary artist Emily Sloan is the founding reverend of the Southern Naptist Convention and chief caretaker and curator of The Kenmore exhibition object. Sloan is based out of Houston, Texas, and is hoping the Many Mini Residency has not spoiled her "internationally unknown" artist status.

McCartney has created a small grouping of new jewelry inspired by his recent trip to France, the Var Department, and its chain of small 13th century mountain top villages.<br /><br />"The Kenmore" is a small, cold, self-run exhibition object. Though it is mobile, it is usually located at Box 13 ArtSpace in Houston, TX. The Kenmore's mission is to keep ideas fresh through the opportunity of a unique exhibition context and the experience of collaboration. The Kenmore gallery object is the creation of artist, curator, and educator Emily Sloan and has been generously loaned by her for this exhibition. <br /> <br />Location until March 10:<br />Goldesberry Gallery <br />2625 Colquit Street<br />Houston, Texas 77098Emily Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10630420517958709251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218863228272497529.post-44099785163444767942011-12-14T22:30:00.011-06:002011-12-14T23:07:07.995-06:00Frank Billingsley discusses ShadeCloud; installation extended to February 24, 2012<object id="BLOG_video-FAILED" class="BLOG_video_class" contentid="FAILED" height="266" width="320"></object><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyc9g-Ievljv9LYTaJ_TVlh1IiWXCwOT6IspPpjfAXTN3Gq_cmGkaprUwtiVS7VCaA7qj-FmO-8G7tcGGj9Fw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />by Juan Gonzalez and Alyssa Ramirez of J & A Productions<br /><br />YouTube link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_paPApjF1Yw&list=UUV7YT4XCau1C3D1i8UGS3vg&index=1&feature=plcp">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_paPApjF1Yw&list=UUV7YT4XCau1C3D1i8UGS3vg&index=1&feature=plcp<br /></a><br />ShadeCloud by Emily Sloan<br />a sculpture court installation of lamp shades<br />August 25, 2011 - December 31, 2011---extended to February 24, 2012<br />SCULPTURE GARDEN<br />Opening reception August 25, 2011 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM<br /><br />Art League Houston is excited to present ShadeCloud, an outdoor installation by Houston-based artist Emily Sloan in the Art League Sculpture Garden, which weaves together a diverse selection of new and recycled lampshades into three cloud-like structures that suspend from the surrounding trees.<br /><br />The installation not only references the dynamic weather patterns characteristic of the Houston area, but also provides a unique source of shade for the local community, especially with the extreme heat waves we are currently experiencing within our city.<br /><br />Art League would like to say a big thank you to Boheme and Spacetaker for their support and generosity through the Cultured Cocktails program, along with Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., as well as the local community for their generous donations.<br />Special thanks to Jason Ash, Rob Greenstein, Matt Jackson, Jill Nepomnick, Crystal Owens, Linda Phenix, Helena Gijsbers van Wijk, and Jim and Vanessa Wodehouse.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQ-DNd1VxCOFnhxEGBMux3xwGG4CDtWQAqMPXLHjzHbtnlPgRnjssFyzK2aeJEIDIsgEX46Y6cCG-G_a3h0ziIcNTMu5A-sTv_jtYB6kn5bcDizb4LgROMKq4WMHbGVk5rCarpOLA3_nm/s1600/ShadeCloudNight72.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQ-DNd1VxCOFnhxEGBMux3xwGG4CDtWQAqMPXLHjzHbtnlPgRnjssFyzK2aeJEIDIsgEX46Y6cCG-G_a3h0ziIcNTMu5A-sTv_jtYB6kn5bcDizb4LgROMKq4WMHbGVk5rCarpOLA3_nm/s400/ShadeCloudNight72.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686209197528019154" border="0"></a>Above: SHADECLOUD at night.

This one night only event will take place on October 1, 2011 from 7:00pm to 9:30p.m.<br /><br />For this work, the artist has immersed himself in an arduous examination of his physical attraction towards "Beefy Men." He has selected a few bulls from the herd incessantly pursuing them without their knowledge, luring them, acting out his desires, and using his own body as a research tool in an attempt to solve the mystery behind his obsession. His installation at The Kenmore invites us to enter the secret room of his darkest fantasies, a place where lust and transgression reign. Ingredients: voyeuristic footage, found organs, stolen photos, beef derived products, obsession.

This event will take place from 10am to noon at 1724 Bissonnet (between Dunlavy and Woodhead), Houston, Texas 77005. <br /><br />In my practice, I utilize hair washing for memory, story telling, cleansing, ritual and intimacy. Hair washing has been a vehicle for people to share stories for decades in salons. Additionally last spring, this ritual helped us to raise funds, similarly to a car wash as a fundraiser, for relief efforts in Japan after the tremendous earthquake.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7-zItO-OzgeIonPPXFaYdiEgM8YWYtTrHpW1cYAvkCAZ5_4pIxpqXmwygpqW5oE8Up8XE8_5WiZYk5fl5mwVOkFW1aTqvI-nU2jIwJGFmHNfwTMF-qN_9BtFERofMX_vAzwEQweUqEJ2W/s1600/EmilyWash.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7-zItO-OzgeIonPPXFaYdiEgM8YWYtTrHpW1cYAvkCAZ5_4pIxpqXmwygpqW5oE8Up8XE8_5WiZYk5fl5mwVOkFW1aTqvI-nU2jIwJGFmHNfwTMF-qN_9BtFERofMX_vAzwEQweUqEJ2W/s400/EmilyWash.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650177541295509522" /></a>(Photo by Dean Liscum.)<br /><br />ABOUT EMILY SLOAN<br />Emily Sloan is an internationally unknown artist, curator of The Kenmore an exhibition mini-fridge, and founding Reverend of the controversial Southern Naptist Convention.<br /><br />ABOUT GALLERY 1724<br />Gallery 1724 is a gallery, salon, home, and chicken ranch located in the Houston Museum District.
