SQFT, an exhibition of 1 ft x 1 ft artworks by over 50 Northwest artists curated by TJ Norris, will be shown at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Boise November 15-January 8th, 2010. The exhibition will ...
Visual Arts Center
SQFT is a window-based, traveling exhibition of 2D works by more than 50 of the most innovative, emerging and established artists in the Northwest. It is intended as a showcase of where we are right now, and many works respond directly to the in-situ nature of being either on public display or behind glass. All works w...ill be presented unframed, hung with simple bank pins in a grid pattern. The work will travel to several cities, big and small for two years. Originating at Portland Oregon's Blackfish Gallery this exhibition will now show in downtown Boise at the historic Egyptian Theater and is sponsored locally by the Egyptian Theater and the Boise State University Visual Arts Center. Other future locations TBA (Victoria BC, Butte, Spokane, Eugene...). Curator TJ Norris is currently working under an agreement with Gallery Homeland to be the non-profit umbrella organization helping get the show on the road. Norris will also work with regional curators as curatorial site scouts in their regions to locate best sites for the show.
“This is an invitational, open to whatever the artists I welcomed decide to do within their own 'square foot'. Of course, as would be expected, the results have been quite far-reaching. Some stunning works of art, some conceptually sly, some responding to the beckoning call of making reference to the reflectory/in-situ nature of its presentation (Ann Ploeger, Smith Elliott), others completely going into their own lofty post-Dadaist perspectives (Marc Dombrosky). Some pieces are quite intricate (Laura Vandenburgh), some are a melange, mixing the past and perhaps a touch of what's to come (Jesse Hayward). It's been a fun show to do, and overlapped nicely within my un/conscious of the whole grid thing. I love to think, curatorially, in sets, patterns, almost like a good game of chess. Making pairs, changing out where something lands, rearranging and keeping with the whole concept that all patterns are interchangeable, how to distort the flat plane with very diverse work in all media.”

As you’d expect, questions hovered in the art world air last week after the White House released the list of paintings that the Obamas have borrowed.
