Brion Nuda Rosch, Waffle Cone Assemblage, 2008

Visit the Artist: Thursday - Saturday, 12pm - 6pm This fall, Southern Exposure converts our front storefront gallery into space for three month-long residencies. Artists Daniel Nevers, Kamau Patton and Suzy Poling, and Brion Nuda Rosch will use the gallery to experiment with new ideas, as a place to create new projects and will hold open gallery hours. Please visit often. First resident artist, Brion Nuda Rosch will work with a visiting cast of artists to build The Portable Ice Cream Stand. Part art-object, part functioning ice cream stand, The Portable Ice Cream Stand is a nomadic food stand and social gathering serving sweet refreshments at local functions, playgrounds, campsites, laundry mats and bookstores. Following Rosch's interest in creating alternative economies, The Portable Ice Cream Stand will hold business hours and function as a model to support various artistic efforts. Stop by the gallery for some ice cream and a visit with the artist. --- In his second week, resident artist Brion Nuda Rosch invites two Bay Area artists to work with him in the gallery. Liz Walsh adds sound to the Portable Ice Cream Stand using an organ grinder and Zachary Royer Scholz paints a geometric wall painting using recycled house paints from Brion's personal collection. Ice cream is served from the Portable Ice Cream Stand, part ongoing art assemblage, part functioning ice cream stand, every Thursday - Saturday from 12 - 6 pm plus live performances by Liz Walsh will take place every Saturday from 1 - 4 pm. Come on by for a scoop, double scoop and a happening. --- WEEK # 4 In the last week of his residency, Brion Nuda Rosch continues to build up the Portable Ice Cream Stand in preparation for its grand finale this Friday night at the Ice Cream Social. Stop by the gallery during open hours to see work made during last Saturday’s one-day art camp and a chance to participate in any number of activities from eating ice cream, to arranging objects in the neon green arrangement room, to entering a drawing into a coloring book contest. Super scoop it up at SoEx. --- Ice Cream Social Friday, October 10, 2008, 6 - 9 pm Artist Talk: 6 pm Join artist Brion Nuda Rosch for the closing of his month long residency, The Portable Ice Cream Stand: part ongoing art assemblage and part functioning ice cream stand.
