Grizzly Grizzly aesthetic – humor surrounded by a lot of seriousness – a podcast interview
November 28, 2011 · 0 Comments
Grizzly Grizzly installed their first juried exhibit, “Other Possible Titles” in November in their small artist-run space in the old industrial building at 319 N. 11th St. When we met Mike Ellyson and Jacque Liu at the gallery for this podcast interview, the small space was filled to bursting with 35 works from almost 250 submissions from all over the US and as far away as Ireland and Australia. The artist run space has Grizzlies 8-members and Mike and Jacque said they were very happy with the show. Viewers were encouraged to vote on their favorite piece and many have. The Grizzlies will award the top vote getter with a solo show at the gallery in 2012. The exhibit closed Nov. 26, (see installation pictures on their website). The Grizzlies are accepting proposals for exhibits for 2012. Send images, proposals, ideas, and/or links: 2xgrizzly@gmail.com.
