  • Selected Affinities
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Selected Affinities June 23 – August 31, 2018 Opening reception for the artists: Saturday, June 23, 4:00 – 6:00 pm Allan Sekula, detail from Message in a Bottle (from Fish Story Chapter 5) (first version), 1992/1994 “But it is capital that is the leading, protean force, pushing people this way and that and leaving them to stew or rot or boil over.” – Allan Sekula (1951-2013), excerpt from Fish Story Santa Monica, April 2018 — Christopher Grimes Gallery is pleased to announce its forthcoming exhibition Selected Affinities, with works by Allan Sekula, Miles Coolidge, Connie Samaras, Katie Shapiro and Billy Woodberry. From the desert to the docks, farmland to the sea, this exhibition brings together four artists, who, along with Sekula, use photography or video not only as a tool for documentation but also as part of a discourse rooted in social relations. On view for the first time at the gallery will be Sekula’s Message in a Bottle (from Fish Story Chapter 5) (first version). One of his best-known bodies of work, Fish Story is a sequential piece composed of over one hundred pictures in nine chapters documenting maritime spaces and the effects of globalization. Message in a Bottle specifically addresses the decline of the fishing economy in the small Spanish town of Vigo. Sekula has exhibited extensively both internationally and locally, with solo exhibitions most recently at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna, Austria; NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore; and Johan Jacobs Museum, Zurich, Switzerland. His work is in the collections of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; Museum of Modern Art New York, NY; J.

  • For Immediate Release Miles Coolidge Gallery I
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MILES COOLIDGE GALLERY I EXHIBITION DATES: JANUARY 12 – FEBRUARY 10, 2007 OPENING: THURSDAY, JANUARY 11th, 6 - 8 PM GALLERY HOURS: TUESDAY – SATURDAY, 10 - 6 PM For his fifth solo show in New York, Los Angeles-based artist, Miles Coolidge, will present two of his latest photographic projects in Gallery I. Both works recognize photography's importance in visual and popular culture, embracing the medium as a conceptual and surrealist tool in the history of art. Coolidge works between traditional photographic genres and strategies, de-familiarizing our accustomed approach to our surroundings. His most ambitious project to date, Wall of Death, is an installation of 20 color photographs that replicates a complete and full-scale representation of the performing surface of the traveling carnival act, “Don Daniel's Wall of Death Motorcycle Thrill Show,” operated by the California Hellriders, who are based in Swansea, Massachusetts. Each photograph corresponds to one of the Wall of Death's wooden panels, and the images are mounted edge-to edge on the gallery wall, echoing how the structure appears when fully assembled. Coolidge shot the images on the grounds of the Iron Horse Saloon, Ormond Beach, Florida, during “Biketoberfest 2006”. The Wall of Death is a vertical wooden cylinder in which trained motorcycle and go-kart riders perform for audiences. The riders are held to the sheer surface by the centripetal force generated by their velocities of 35 mph or more. Coolidge’s 20 images depict the 7' wooden surface on which the riders perform. Currently there are 3 Walls of Death in operation in the United States that travel between motorcycling events in the South, the Midwest and the Northeast, in addition to others based in Great Britain, Europe and perhaps elsewhere.

  • Jan | Feb | March | 2016
    jan | feb | march | 2016 s a n t a b a r b a r a m u s e u m o f a r t from the director Dear Members, This new year is especially significant as it marks an important milestone—the Museum’s 75th anniversary. On Thursday, June 5, 1941, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art opened its doors for the first time amidst a throng of community leaders, local schoolchildren, and SBMA founders. The idea for a city museum originally came from the local artist Colin Campbell Cooper. When he learned that the main post office building, erected in 1912 and abandoned for several years, was going to be sold, he proposed, in a letter published in the Santa Barbara News-Press in July of 1937, that the impressive Italianate structure should be transformed into a museum. What Cooper himself described as something of a “pipedream” came to fruition just four years later, thanks to a groundswell of support from the community and the commitment of a small, passionate army of artists and civic-minded individuals. Also voicing their enthusiasm for the project was a large group of merchants, some 125 of whom petitioned the County’s Board of Supervisors to buy the property from the federal government so that it may be used as a museum. Their plea was heeded and, before long, a number of Santa Barbara residents formed an official museum committee and a number of generous citizens offered funds to remodel the building, to construct galleries, and to add new floors and lighting that would be up to museum standards.
