The Psalms: New Work by Tony Fitzpatrick

Opening Sept 21 at The Dime&nbsp;

Day of an Affair: Owen Spryszak

Curated by Ray Borchers and Paloma Trecka<a href="https://www.bopartshow.com">Bopartshow.com</a>&nbsp;BOP! It’s the title of the show and a word on loan from the lexicon of Jazz—a staccato double time rhythm with complex progressions and improvisations. In this next iteration of BOP!, the call is for pieces that expand on the definition of collage while narrowing the focus to a visual push-pull that immerses viewers in the rhythm of the artform. BOP! artists are asked to engage with the medium in an approach steeped in other American artforms. Mainly Jazz, Rock ‘n’ roll, modern dance and film.Collage has a diverse vocabulary and history, along with a creative inquiry on an international scale, explored by artists and viewers in large numbers. At the core of the beat is a global community of artists with a passion for sharing, discussing and transforming collage. While artist collectives, individuals, festivals and institutions are all craving something beyond the historical understanding of the artform. From this current status, it is clear that the medium is a message of community, collaboration and chromatic collisions.In 2019, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh presented a survey of 400 years of collage. Within it were 250 works of art from a show entitled Cut and Paste. Without surprise, it included Braque, Picasso, Hoch, Schwitters and Ernst, as well as post-war Matisse, Rauschenberg et al. While a survey of this sort was the first, and from an educational perspective necessary, it has the world wondering, what’s next? And even more importantly, who?&nbsp;&nbsp;BOP! will show us the collage masterworks of those cutting and sticking with verve.&nbsp;Featuring work by:&nbsp;Allison AnneLisa BarcyLou BeachHisham Akira BharoochaRay BorchersCollin BuntingAndrea BurgayClarisse CasalinoNick CashLyddia CheshewallaJJ CromerBen DininoTony FitzpatrickBeth Guipe HallTim KinsellaClive KnightsPaul LoughneyNathan MckeeNellie SeigelSierra SeversonLeah SingerFred ThomasDanny TorresPaloma TreckaDavid WischerDave Yoas&nbsp;

Bop! Adventures in Collage

Introducing our next artist: animator and collage artist Lisa Barcy (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lbarcy/">@lbarcy</a>)Lisa’s show opens June 2nd. Join us for the opening from 7pm-10pm&nbsp;“For most of my creative career I’ve worked in animation, frequently using collage elements to piece together both narrative and abstract work, but several years ago I began experimenting with collage as a stand-alone art form. The works here began as the collage version of the intuitive doodles I would make in waiting rooms, meetings and other situations that typically require stilling still, which I find vastly overrated. I also find the patterns that appear everywhere from the natural world to domestic settings lend a certain joyful satisfaction. Perhaps that’s where the knife-wielding control freak takes over.”&nbsp;

Lisa Barcy

Come by Saturdays 12-5pm to meet the artist, today through April 30th.&nbsp;Tony will be in the studio Sundays for showings 1-5pm.

Tony Fitzpatrick: The Lunch Drawings

Join us at our weekly open house Saturday, 1-4pm through August, for wine and beer (sponsored by Door 24 Wine and Forbidden Root) as we celebrate the work of our current artist, Nathan Mason.&nbsp;Artist Statement: "For a long time I have done collage and assemblage in a variety of media, this recent body of work is that methodology in clay. Working with kitsch figurines and adding clay and glazes makes for improvisations directly inspired by their source."Not having a commute during the pandemic I walked or bicycled the mile to my studio almost daily. The enforced isolation gave me more time to focus and explore different avenues in making." – Nathan Mason&nbsp;Nathan Mason is an artist in Chicago with a day job.He exhibits occasionally, most recently at Compound Yellow. He has been in group shows at Klein Artworks, Rhona Hoffman Gallery, and NAME, among others.&nbsp; He has curated numerous independent projects for spaces ranging from Beret International to Margin, his own short-lived apartment gallery. The Butter Show in 1999 garnered international media attention.&nbsp; He is also an occasional writer; reviews have appeared in the New Art Examiner and Subnation. He sat on the exhibition committees of Randolph Street Gallery and Gallery 312, has been an ACRE panelist and a member of the Oriental Institute Museum’s temporary exhibition advisory group.His day job is being a public art administrator for the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs &amp; Special Events.&nbsp; He obtained a BA in Art (Ceramics) and Art History from the University of Dallas and did further studies at the University of Utah and the University of Chicago (where he decided graduate studies were not his career path)."&nbsp;
