Heather and Ivan Morison

• For their edition Blackened Bones, Heather and Ivan Morison continue the narrative started by their Open Satellite installation Frost King. In their five color lithographs, they activate their massive charred wood kite, placing it in motion alongside silhouetted birds in flight. The image of Frost King is delicately drawn on a photograph, then reproduced in metallic ink on the lithograph. In Blackened Bones, Frost King is transformed into a mobile, potentially fragile form, while weighing down the actual lightness and mobility of the natural forms surrounding it. This dynamic, where potential and ruin, and nature and man-made are confused, broadens and complicates our imagination in relation to the built environment. For more information.

• For his edition Meiro Koizumi drew inspiration from the history of Mount Rainier and Mount Fuji’s connection as official sister mountains. The resulting hand-drawn works on paper comprising the set of multiples titled Tacoma Fuji are beautifully manipulated original Japanese woodblock prints of idyllic landscapes depicting Mount Fuji. Directly marking existing prints, bucolic mountainside towns are altered by the conflation of Mount Rainier and Mount Fuji and incorporation of Northwest symbols of urbanity drawn from the artist’s memory of time spent in Bellevue during his residency. Each work on paper in this set of five is unique. For more information.

Dan Webb

• Dan Webb’s Dial It In is part of an ongoing series of interactive sculptures that investigate and challenge the notion of self-invention. An anonymous wooden body, with rotating, colorful heads mounted above, acts as a mutable representation of an individual, allowing a viewer to shift not only its physical appearance, but in effect, its religion, gender, race, political ideology, and personality. The power and ease of this gesture, coupled with the toy-like quality of the piece itself, challenges the validity of the transformation, while celebrating the perversity of it. A different set of heads is featured on each edition. Webb is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery.

• A continuation of the ideas of much of his performance and curatorial work, Greg Lundgren’s The Success of an Artist Can Be Measured By How Much Money They Make turns a basic iconographic and status object into a provocative and humorous prop. His edition, a glass brick slightly larger than a stack of twenty dollar bills, with a cartoonish rendering of a bill engraved on its top surface, simultaneously tempts, critiques, and enables its possessor, exposing an inner desire, while labeling it as absurd. For more information.

Jeffry Mitchell

• Jeffry Mitchell’s Elephant Snowflake Lamp exudes the playfulness, energy, and overall love associated with his work. Mitchell embraces the potential stigma of craftiness, using paper and wood cutouts, and colored lights to understand emotions on both an individual and public level, conveying the complexity of his reality through analogous representations and forms. While issues of sexual identity and memory are really at focus in the work, it is inevitably the raw emotions which makes the piece so affecting. Each of Mitchell’s unique lamps includes a drawing tucked away in a secret pouch. Lamp colors available: yellow, blue, green, aqua, pink, black light, and clear. Mitchell is represented by Ambach & Rice.

Gretchen Bennett

• Gretchen Bennett’s Dying Fawn, freezes and preserves in a small porcelain sculpture the moment of passing on. It’s intimate, yet awkwardly small scale and tangible material entices a viewer toward it, even as the heart-wrenching gesture of Bennett’s familiar fawn should repel them. Each exquisite sculpture rests on a felt pad. For more information.

• Cash Out / Cash In is one in a series of “kits” designed to help make transparent the working process of the Colossus Fund—to make a million dollars through a combination of producing and selling art editions and playing the stock market.

• In line with Chris Lipomi’s attempts to re-imagine distinct moments in art history, for his edition, Lipomi borrowed his inspiration from as far back as 24,000 B.C. His Venus Edition, a replication of Venus of Willendorf, also known as the Woman of Willendorf, is an aluminum cast statuette of the historical female figure. While the original is widely interpreted as a fertility symbol by scholars, its true origin and cultural significance remains unknown. Each of Lipomi’s supine statuettes has unique characteristics.

It is elegant with orderly and repetitive details forming what appear to be three-dimensional drawings reflective of both the chaos and order in nature. Hepler’s sources of inspiration draw from the underlying mathematical patterns in nature’s systems as evidenced by flocks of birds and swarms of insects. For more information.

• Hillary Wilder’s installation at Open Satellite, Nearer to Thee, emphasized the agency one has in how one experiences the passing of time, memory and the ephemeral. It is only natural that Wilder’s edition, Untitled–taking inspiration from, Jim Weatherly’s Midnight Train to Georgia, Eric Clapton’s Bell Bottom Blues, and her remix version of Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight—calls to attention the romantic impulse that must also be understood as a construction, and an illusion of one expectation of the experience. Untitled, 2008 is an edition of a painting repurposed to become a fictionalized printed album cover with an off-set printed album insert. For more information.

• For her edition, Olga Koumoundouros contemptuously addresses the current incarnation of the American Dream. In a series of offset printed posters, Koumoundouros utilizes and transforms the phrases and mottos that have come to be associated with suburban sprawl and gentrification. Through adding her own critical voice, at times mocking, at others urgent, Koumoundouros positions these posters to serve simultaneously as advertisement and warning sign, placing a disclaimer on the commercialization of the pursuit of happiness.
