Smokey’s Tangle TakeoverPost an Event »
This February, Interface Gallery invites fellow neighborhood art space Smokey’s Tangle to take over! This takeover – a residency of sorts – comes on the 5th anniversary of Smokey’s Tangle and will celebrate the range of activities that take place there.
Brainchild of Brian Brooks and Emily Wick, Smokey’s Tangle is a playful, interactive gallery that also serves as the artists’ personal art studios. Wick and Brooks will each present examples of their recent work; tiny trompe l'oeil oil paintings by Wick, and quirky, humorous paintings, drawings and prints by Brooks. Wick will even paint in the gallery during open hours and Brooks will unveil his latest book "What If? Volume 2.”
A book commemorating five years of projects at Smokey’s Tangle will also be released at the artists’ reception. And, in the spirit of these fun, interactive projects from over the years, the artists will install a photo booth, inviting visitors to dress up and get their photos taken. These photos will be added to a diorama of Temescal that will build up over the month and a final “group photograph” of all the “participants” in the diorama will be taken at the end of the month (and made available for download on the Smokey’s Tangle website). Brooks and Wick will also host a series of weekly evening events throughout February (schedule below).
Interface Gallery is pleased to be introducing these artists and the playful spirit of Smokey’s Tangle to the Interface community. The show is bound to be accessible, interesting and fun!
