Sometimes, a curator will simply do a show because they want to see it. The artists were terrific. The works in the exhibition were terrific. On the whole, though, it didn’t quite come off. It was a difficult concept and the work was quite visually disparate. Still, I am proud to have put it on the gallery’s walls. A system is a pattern, a process, a format, a compositional sensibility, or an iconography. Artists build systems and then disrupt them, but the balance of system to disruption that they chase is, I think worth further study. Check out the installation. It was our first interactive video installation and it was my first chance to work with both Nathan Hayden and Bob Nugent. Nathan Hayden’s future is very, very bright, I think.
ANGELA PERKO: RELICS OF ANOTHER EDEN

PRESS:
VIDEO: Watch it
PRECIS:
I will always remember this as the exhibition where Angela outgrew Santa Barbara. Were the palettes Santa Barbara? Yes, for some. Were some of the images local images? Yes, in some cases. But, in the main, the thematic content and the sophistication of the allusions and symbols need a much larger base of collectors. That’s okay. This work will come back and will be seen for what it most certainly is…

This is our first purely Tonalist exhibition for Leon Dabo, a painter who was… ta da… mainly known as a Tonalist. It makes a sensational counterpoint to the Joseph Goldyne exhibition. In fairness, it was Joseph’s idea to combine the two.

Between late mid-century abstraction, Japanese scroll painting, and late nineteenth century landscape painting, you get something both familiar and new. This new exhibition of waterfalls has so many spectacular works. It was a joy to put together.

Philip Koplin was an acquaintance who I wish I could have counted as a friend. He died suddenly and recently, and so Sullivan Goss decided to give him a memorial retrospective. I worked very hard on this as Phil’s work wasn’t very well organized. The installation came out particularly beautifully.

PRESS: SB INDEPENDENT | SB SENTINEL | SB MAGAZINE
PRECIS:
I am, admittedly, not mentioned in any of the articles about the show. Nonetheless, I initially approached David at the opening for another artist. We hypothesized about the possibility of him painting a mural in the largest gallery at Sullivan Goss. I introduced him to a fabricator / machinist in metal. Moreover, our conversation about Fiesta may have resulted in a nine foot tall, eight foot wide hot pink painting of Pancho Villa. On the other hand, I didn’t CHOOSE anything for the show. David pretty much put it together. I simply acted as liaison and PR person. Kudos to new gallery owner Nathan Vonk for his courage and vision to bring the exhibition into the gallery.

For Hank Pitcher’s first solo exhibition in three years, Hank and I worked out a more minimalist installation with a number of “extra” pieces for collectors in a back room. I also created an 11 x 13 inch prototype coffee table book for his exhibition. The exhibition was a slam dunk success. I love working with painters of Hank’s seriousness and ambition.
THE ART OF SANTA BARBARA: 1875-2016
October 6 - December 31, 2016
PRESS: SB INDEPENDENT
PRECIS:
Santa Barbara’s art scene is 141 years old this year, making it the second oldest continuous art scene in California*. *(during the American period) It narrowly edges out Carmel, and trails only San Francisco. Over that time, it has had two dedicated art schools, three university art programs, and scores of really good artists. Dividing the exhibition up into THE EARLIEST ARTISTS (1875-1915), THE GOLDEN AGE ARTISTS (1915-1935), MIDCENTURY MASTERS (1950-1975), and TODAY’S LEADING LIGHTS, which includes both our regularly represented artists as well as many of the artists whose works have been more abstract or conceptual over the last thirty years. It’s a major show for us.
SIDNEY GORDIN: CONSTRUCTIVISM IN FLUX
September 1 - October 30, 2016
PRESS:
VIDEO: Watch it
PRECIS:
This is my third Sidney Gordin exhibition. The title references the odd coincidence that Sidney Gordin was teaching at the New School for Social Research in 1957 when John Cage gave a series of lectures about indeterminacy that are credited as having helped ignite the neo-Dada movement known as FLUXUS. Gordin’s relationship to DADA is tenuous at best, though his relationship to Surrealism is more substantial. Nevertheless, his approach to Constructivism is marked by wit and a sense of chance, which are both hallmarks of FLUXUS.

PRECIS:
It was a special thrill to work with the Estate of two Bay Area Figurative artists. Paul Wonner is someone I have admired, in particular, for a long time for the way that he was able imbue a simple figure painting with such poetry and portent. Often, this was achieved with color and a certain fluidity to the brushwork.

Angela’s latest body of work concerned itself with gardens, as a site (and metaphor for?) where nature and art co-mingle. She made a series of large, complicated garden paintings in addition to a whole series of wonderful still lifes. Our conversations about these works were as rich and vibrant as the paintings themselves.
CA COOL: what’s so cool about california?

PRESS: Santa Barbara News Press | Santa Barbara Seasons Blog | Santa Barbara Independent
VIDEO: Watch it
PRECIS:
I assembled modernist / minimalist paintings and sculptures from the 1950s to the present day that exhibit traces of the detachment implied by coolness. There were nods to surf culture, to skate culture, to graphic design, and to product design. It was a gamble on a genre bending show of modern and contemporary work that trades in “coolness.”
THE DECLARTIONS OF INDEPENDENTS: An Exhibition of Strong Women Modernists
May 7 - June 28, 2015
PRESS: The Sentinel | Santa Barbara Independent
VIDEO: Watch it
PRECIS:
Women: should they be artists? Why? I kid. Obviously, I kid about a sensitive subject. Sullivan Goss represents 14 living artists of whom 9 are women. We have a small number of collectors who only collect the work of women. This exhibition grew into an examination of women who braved open hostility to create Modern art. It was a beautiful show, and the front window brought many, MANY people in who were curious about the subject. Take that, patriarchal canon!

Have you noticed that people stay home a lot more than they used to? Or that the home has become a format for self-expression, even among the middle classes? Watching movies, shopping: these things can now be done at home. I wanted to put together an exhibition that examined that phenomenon from an artist’s point of view.

PRECIS:
Anders Aldrin was a Swedish immigrant to California who studied at Otis, the Santa Barbara School of Art, the California School of Fine Arts, and the Art Students League of Los Angeles. He developed along Fauvist / Expressionist lines, using strong, unusual colors and gestural, brushy painting to impart the intended emotional effect. This exhibition focused on his still lifes and figures. It was also our first exhibition to feature his color woodblocks.
JEAN SWIGGETT: A One Man Renaissance

PRESS:
VIDEO: Watch it
PRECIS:
The gallery recently purchased the Estate of Jean Swiggett. He was as associated with an eccentric realism as he was with the city of San Diego, where he lived and taught for much of his career. As it was a small estate, I chose to present a chronological overview of his work – from a painting featured in the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition to Magical Realist figurative nudes from the 1980s. The responses of a technically proficient render to “Modernism” were fascinating, but it his eccentric, and occasionally erotic, late work that set him way apart in California art history.

PRECIS:
This wasn’t my first Leon Dabo exhibition, and it won’t be my last. I referenced the rallying cry of the Aesthetic Movement with the title, and tried to present fifty years of work as loosely related without providing any clear structure to create meaning. I wanted people to “discover” how Dabo evolved and yet took ideas forward with him as he got older.

FOR REAL? Magical Realism in American Art
April 3 - June 1, 2014
PRESS: Art & Antiques
VIDEO: Watch it
PRECIS:
Magical Realism is not a term you hear every day. It sounds like a paradox. For most people who are already familiar with the term, it relates to a literary movement associated with such Latin American writers as Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. One scholar described the literary movement as: what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe. In fact, there is a corresponding movement in North American art. It seems to have come into being some time in the mid to late 1930s. It has been especially associated with artists of the Midwest like Gertrude Abercrombie and John Wilde, but there were artists all across the country who were working with similar ideas.

PRECIS:
TONALISM NOW proved to be a remarkably exciting exhibition to put together. Riffing on how contemporary artists have picked apart a historical movement was fun and made for a beautiful result. Really, I am quite proud of how it came together.

PRECIS:
What is Tonalism? Our audience was generally unaware of the term, even as they had been buying lightly abstracted (or even blurry) landscapes with muted color harmonies and a moodiness that moved to reverie or even melancholy. So, I put together a show to contextualize the gallery’s acquisition of the Estates of Lockwood de Forest and Leon Dabo. I even snuck in a work by Nell Brooker Mayhew. Really, it is quite a positioning show for the gallery.

PRECIS:
This exhibition gave me a chance to work with three artists whose work excites me. They are all, to my eye, contemporary makers in a Latin American Surrealist / Folk tradition. So, issues of self-portraiture and highly personal narratives in an abstract age drive the work.

This was a mini-exhibition curated as a booth within the 2012 San Francisco Fall Antiques Show. Tonal, dreamy, and pearlescent, the exhibition attempted to offer fair goers a visual respite from all of the other “OOH! Pick me!” materials offered in other booths. In this, it was modestly successful. Check out the installation shots to see more.

Another meta-exhibition at Sullivan Goss. This time, I put together an exhibition about how strong the gallery’s connection is to paintings of the water. We live here by the water. All of us choose to do so at some expense. Paintings of the water are what sells best in Santa Barbara, too. Not these paintings of water, necessarily, but paintings that feature the water sell best where we are. Though, all of these artists sell quite well for us. Also, these are strong works. There’s something to be said for that.

PRECIS:
Working once again with the wonderful Estate of Sidney Gordin (1918-1996), I put together a mini-retrospective exhibition that traces the evolution of Gordin’s “collage-based” creative process from his Abstract Expressionist paintings of 1944, through newly discovered Surrealist photo collages, paintings, sculptures, and constructions. Gordin’s process is marked by an assembly, or combination, of elements that is best summarized by my Tim-Gunnesque title, “JUST PUT IT TOGETHER.”

This exhibition was organized to debut the imaginary waterfall paintings of Joseph Goldyne. Balancing on the edge where plein air sketching, abstract expressionism, and Japanese and Chinese scroll painting meet, Joseph’s work brings a brilliant, evocative image forward that astounds both in its simplicity and in its openness to different interpretation. It is, in short, a kind of lodestone image.

For the gallery’s final nod to Pacific Standard Time, we presented an exhibition from the Estate of Howard Warshaw. This exhibition looks at Warshaw’s commitment to print making, to muralism, and to the development of “organic cubism” over his twenty-some years in Southern California. Warshaw remains one of the most under-appreciated artists of the mid-twentieth century. His formal innovations continue to inspire today’s artists and certain serious collectors.

This is the first exhibition from the estate of Leon Dabo (1865-1960), a French-born American artist who rose to prominence during the Tonalist period of the early twentieth century. For our first exhibition, we chose to show drawings, which I felt were more accessible to contemporary eyes.

If you read through this whole list of exhibitions I’ve curated, you notice a prevailing interest in what might be termed “American Modernism,” “California Modernism,” or even “Southern California Modernism.” This exhibition somehow ties them all together with Lyn Kienholz’ new book LA RISING and the Getty’s PACIFIC STANDARD TIME project. It is a magical look at the history and diversity of art in Los Angeles from 1940 - 1980.
RICHARD HAINES: SUBDIVIDING THE SPACE

PRESS:

PRECIS:
This exhibition traces a certain compositional tendency in the work of Richard Haines from Precisionist works in 1939 to a somewhat Magical Realist works in the late 1960s. Haines worked in woodblocks. He took a camouflage class. He was interested in Cubism. All of these produced a tendency to “subdivide” the space into increasingly small pieces. Watch the video. It explains the whole idea a bit better.

PRECIS:
Moving from loose figuration and collage to totally abstract painting in the 40s and 50s, Smith shifted gears again in the early to mid 1960s towards a quirky, pop-modern figurative style. In the 1970s, he began his “measured” painting series - several examples of which were shown in this exhibit. In the 1980s, he returned to a more painterly style of abstract painting which the gallery calls his “feathery” works. In the mid 1990s, Smith returned to his roots with a series of paintings strangely like those of the late 1940s and 50s. Two of those paintings are shown were exhibited at the gallery for the first time along with a suite of his drawings.

Lockwood de Forest started studying painting with Frederick Church when he was nineteen years old . He would go on to lead a fascinating life, full of the brightest and most interesting figures of the late nineteenth century, but he also kept a large record of his private meditations in nature. De Forest took sketching in oil en plein air and made it fine, sensitive, and fresh. This exhibition also featured two substantial studio paintings.

Sidney Gordin was part of the last generation of Constructivists to emerge from a true Modernist grounding. In fifty-seven years of restless and beautiful experimentation, Gordin plumbed the dynamics of intuition and intellect in creating art. He made both sculptures and drawings that expose the inner workings of our perception of space. He also made a handful of Abstract Expressionist paintings in the halcyon years of the movement.

The title for the exhibition came to me while I was walking along the beach. Walking around the point between East Beach and Butterfly Beach in Santa Barbara, I came upon some driftwood. In our last exhibition of paintings by Richard Haines, I’d featured a lovely abstracted painting of a beach with driftwood. It reminded me of Haines’ austere beauty and his lifelong commitment to painting. This exhibition featured paintings of the beach and figures as well as lithographs from the full span of Richard Haines’ career.

This exhibition came about as a result of a happy confluence of special circumstances. Otis went online with a huge document archive that had never been available before around the same time that the gallery was able to acquire enough Schaad’s to mount an exhibition.
