Current Exhibition, Beyond Material, Extended Until March 1, 2015
Final Weekend Hours:
Thurs, Feb. 26, 2-5
Fri, Feb. 27, 2-6
Sunday, Mar. 1, 12-4
Beyond Material is
a traveling exhibition of work conceptually responding to the history of fiber and
textiles as craft and art.
Closes Sunday, March 1
We
interact with the materiality of fiber on a daily basis, whether hand or
machine made. The richness that fiber work creates is seen through the ease in
which viewers can relate to its tactile quality. Beyond the material, the techniques
employed provide another layer for a viewer to enter.
We
are happy to bring this exhibition to (SCENE) Metrospace. Beyond Material is
guest-curated by Kate Garman. Kate is a Grand Rapids based creative. This is the
exhibition’s second incarnation. Many new artists have been added. The inaugural
exhibition opened during January 2014 at Grand Valley State University's Padnos
Art Gallery.
Confirmed
artists: Kelly McKaig, Miriam Wassenaar, Mandy
Cano Villalobos, Dulcee Boehm, Ann Cole, SiSi Chen, Sarah Lillegard, Ellie
Hunter, Anny Crane, Rachel de Cuba, Peter
Clouse, Liz Ensz, Jessica Pleyel, Maggie
Vance and Mandi Michielsen.

The exhibition runs until December 14th.
The exhibition is called Substrate. With the decline of large scale manufacturing in post-industrial America, there is a desire by many to reclaim small scale production. The past several years has seen a rise of independent publishing across the United States, with increased visibility and availability of zines and art books, and a Do-It-Yourself ethos which embraces exploration, technique and radical production methods. SUBSTRATE explores the politics and poetics of printed matter in the Rust Belt, asking the viewer to think about the relationship between landscape, the material environment, and print.
Substrate is guest-curated by Ben Gaydos. Ben is a Detroit-based designer, filmmaker, artist, co-founder of the interdisciplinary design firm goodgood, and a professor with the University of Michigan, Flint, art department.

The Van Lears are brothers Andrew and Trey Bentley who are from the mountains of North West Georgia. Currently working with platinum producer Ted Hewitt (Rodney Atkins) recording their debut album. The brothers write with well known writers, such as Steve Bogard, writer of George Strait’s “Carried Away”; Bob Regan, writer of “Your Everything” for Keith Urban; and Josh Osborne, writer of "Merry Go Round" for Kacey Musgraves and “Come Over” for Kenny Chesney. Trey and Andrew are both fine singers in their own right, but hearing them sing together is what turns heads. Eddie Owen, of Eddie’s Attic, has said their harmonies sound like the “Next coming of The Eagles.”
The Further Adventures of FatBoy and JiveTurkey is the brain child of musician Benjamin Hall. His high-energy stage presence, searing vocal vigilance, and truly tasty blues harmonica playing, combined with a dynamic and eclectic group of local and regional musicians, allow this group to provide music lovers with a fresh interpretation of classic blues tunes as well as exciting originals.
Deacon Earl is blues, folk, honky-tonk and more.
