Chase DeForest at Ironton Studios
In: Art and Culture| Denver| Design
30 Oct 2007I’m looking forward to the show that opens at Ironton on Friday November 2nd for a number of reasons. First, the work is constructed with terrific craftsmanship and attention to detail. Second, it shows that boundaries between art and craft continue to break down (and therefore supports the value of the local and the artisinal). [...]
Retreat (animation)
In: Art and Culture
30 Oct 2007Hadley and I are working on some stop motion animation projects, and we’ve just finished an initial prototype, which we’re calling “Retreat”. You can see a compressed version on hadley’s blog (the direct link to the page is here). There’s no linear narrative, it’s more of an exploration of psychological space. Mostly we’re having fun [...]
Saving Riverside Cemetery
In: Art and Culture| Denver
29 Oct 2007I was quoted in the Denver Post this morning regarding my interest in Riverside Cemetery, along with my friend Jan Allan and Father Joe Hirsch of Transfiguration Cathedral. The article, entitled “Group hopes to bring new life to cemetery” was written by Tom McGhee, and I’m really grateful to him for all he did to [...]
Denver Culture in the news
In: Art and Culture| Denver
26 Oct 2007Gene Sloan wrote and article that was posted in USA Today today about the burgeoning cultural scene in Denver. It’s not a fantastically in depth article, but it does show off a couple of Denver’s lesser known treasures, the Dikeou Collection and the Kirkland Museum.
The Dikeou has a fabulous collection of contemporary work ranging from [...]
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver Opening
In: Art and Culture| Denver
25 Oct 2007The newest addition to Denver’s cultural landscape is opening with a series of events this week; the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (MCAD) building is the first designed by David Adjaye to be built in the United States, and it is a jewel, and serves as a fascinating counterpoint to the Libeskind addition to the [...]

Art of (and for) Destruction
In: Art and Culture| Denver
11 Jun 2007Bill Amundson is the funniest guy I know. And, man, can he draw. For the past two weeks he’s been drawing buildings on the walls of the Phillip J. Steele Gallery at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. The show opens on Friday, June 15th. It closes on Saturday June 16th. Site specific work [...]
summer culture
In: Art and Culture| Denver
5 Jun 2007Summer is a time for casual enjoyment in a reflective but less serious manner. In Denver, the best of summer culture happens in Lakewood at the Lab. The Lab at Belmar is a somewhat eccentric art space in a new urbanist development; it’s run by Adam Lerner, who is committed to establishing a world-class arts [...]
Art and Architecture
In: Art and Culture| Denver
24 May 2007 This afternoon, I was down at PlatteForum – the current installation, by one of Denver’s most original creative thinkers, Michael Ensminger, is really great fun.
A city of buildings, some ten feet tall, built out of lincoln logs. A miniature trip through the Chicago loop, but with a global range of styles (as long [...]
God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut
11 Apr 2007When the last
living thing
has died on
account of us,
how poetical it
would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice
floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the
Grand Canyon,
“It is done.”
People did not
like it here.
–Kurt Vonnegut
(1922-2007)
So it goes…
