About

http://www.littlepaperplanes.com
**An online store bringing together a community of artists.**

An online store where artists can sell their limited edition prints, jewelry, t-shirts, tote bags, accessories and other one of kind items. The store started out as a place where I could sell things I made to help support me while I focus on painting. Then I started selling my friends art as well and then they had friends and so on. Now its a community of friends of friends of all over coming together by making art and having it available to the public on little paper planes. I feel honored to get to help sell all the amazing pieces these artists make.

Megarealms

alt

Balancing forces of chaos, inclinations toward order, and the freedom to play, Megarealms is a dynamic equilibrium between tangibles and impossibilities. Operating in the space between principle fundamentals and measured restraint, Megarealms is at once architectural, sculptural, designed, and painterly. The interplay of color, form, scale, dimension, media and theme activates connections that redefine relationships and forge cohesion among seemingly disparate elements. Teetering on the edge of infinity, Megarealms bends the boundaries of perception, challenging supposed tensions between the everyday and the fantastical, the concrete and the abstract, function and form, restraint and inhibition.

An artistic superstructure conjured from experiences of happiness, despair, solitude and impossibility, Megarealms is as much a work of narrative as it is an experience of its own. Marking a year since my debut solo exhibition, Megarealms is first in an installment of ten exhibitions to be created over the next ten years.

Opening: November 5th 2009 (6-9pm)

Either in a Million Years or Until the Bitter End
Works by Tara Foley

November 3 - December 1, 2009
Opening Reception: Tuesday, November 3rd, 6-9pm

Either in a Million Years or Until the Bitter End is a collection of drawings about memory, both personal and collective. These works are depictions of important moments that blur the line between imagination and memory. How do we remember? What does an important memory look like? How does a memory change over time? For Tara Foley, these important moments have become cathedrals, castles, monuments, patterns, body parts and mountain ranges.

Tara Foley is a San Francisco-based artist who has exhibited locally and nationally. Recently she has had solo exhibitions at local galleries Fecal Face Dot Gallery and Triple Base and created murals for 111 Minna, Sycamore Alley, and New Langton Arts. She currently works as Artists in Education Program Manager at Southern Exposure.

Triple Canopy: online and in real life

alt

Triple Canopy just released Issue 7 online, and it's a digital page-turner. More than a online magazine, Triple Canopy works with writers, artists, researchers and other collaborators on projects that deal critically with culture and politics, and the ways people engage them. The site contains most of these engrossing projects, and coming soon is an interactive landscape of actual "Dubai Dream Houses" and the inside scoop from China's subterranean development expert! But Triple Canopy also executes print publications and public programs. For example, this week for you East Coasters they, along with Light Industry, present:

East Coast premiere of Wang Bing's Crude Oil
a fourteen-hour film installation tracking a fourteen-hour workday of crude-oil extraction in northwest China.
The film will be on view from November 4 to 8. running 5 times in its entirety per day from 9am til 11pm.

Accompanying Crude Oil in an adjacent room will be a film program by Matthew Coolidge of the Center for Land Use Interpretation and Lucy Raven (7:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 4; reception to follow), as well as the American premiere of Wang Bing's Coal Money (4 p.m., Saturday, November 7; discussion to follow with NYU professors Rebecca Karl and Zhen Zhang) and a screening of Wang's nine-hour West of the Tracks (12 p.m., Sunday, November 8). A curated DVD library of related films will be available for viewing throughout the week. For more information and a full press release, click HERE.

Accidental Contemporary Art

Accidental Contemporary Art is an ongoing project of multi-media artist Mark Salvatus from Manila, Philippines. This blog documents everyday objects and scenes that bear resemblance to the practice of contemporary artists of today.

Salvatus writes: While walking around Santolan, Pasig, I spotted some well-arranged chairs that were being dried up after being submerged in water and mud due to typoon Ondoy (Ketsana)...

... and looked like an installation work of contemporary artist Doris Salcedo:

Some other of his examples are a little more of a stretch, but still punctuate the smirky crossover between "art" and "life." I think all of us who look at art have had the experience of watching part of the everyday rupture and suddenly become, say, the corner of a Rauschenberg, rather than part of the same ol continuous reality.

Brice Bischoff


The quest of the unknown, the unexplained and natural phenomenon emulates within Los Angeles based, Brice Bischoff's photography. He is able to capture ephemeral moments which are eerily breathtaking while taking on different roles of the astronomer, geologist, anthropologist and art critic. Besides his careful eye of detail and capturing fleeting moments, he also lets us in on what he is doing. So often we, the viewers are left with endless amounts of images never truly knowing what the artist is in search of. Brice gives us little poetic descriptions, brief though to the point and sometimes just enough information to piece together the larger narrative or history. Though sometimes I like my own interpretation, I am fond of these gestures within the form of words highlighting his own investigations. Make sure to visit his website to view these descriptions.

Dutch Door Press

alt
Dutch Door Press has letterpressed a new bounty! Gradually being able to offer more and more of Dutch Door's "birds and blooms of the 50 states" prints at the Little Paper Planes store has been much more exciting for me than watching the state quarters roll out of the US Mint one by one (although I lost interest about 8 years ago). Click the following links to see knockout depictions of the official flowers and feathers of California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas.


Dutch Door has also just produced a radiant 2010 calendar, definitely suitable for framing and referring to for an entire year. It's available here.

Gluten-free?

If you're like most people, either you or someone you know has recently realized they can't eat wheat. So, taking that into account, I think that here in this Dennis Oppenheim sculpture we can find an inspirational visual metaphor for leaving gluten behind.

alt

It's hard, but if those tiny tiny horses did it, you can too.


(Please note that my interpretation in no way reflects the intentions of Dennis Oppenheim.)

Lascaux Caves


I came across this article that was printed in 2008 in The New Yorker, but I wanted to share it with people that may not have seen it. It talks about those first marks of art in the famous caves of Lascaux. I think it is a good read for any artist, just to think about the function and role of art especially when we think back of thousands and thousands of years ago. They did not make these paintings in a domestic setting, there was a possible ritualistic approach in creating these works. Of course we will never really know, but this article proves to be an interesting insight on our fellow artists of the past.

Rebecca Ebeling at Maniac Gallery, Los Angeles


MANIAC presents *Bloodsugarsexmagik: To Infinity *new work by San Francisco based artist Rebecca Ebeling conjoining the spectacular and bizarre with the processed and manufactured to construct a binary alternative hosting visual segments of space, empty regions and atmospheres, (images and ideologies traditionally agreed upon) as an alternative to a consumerist adherence to ideas of the unfathomable.

I have seen Rebecca work on this show for some months now and it was exciting to see the process. She will not only have paintings but sculptures as well that are filled with shiny, beautiful pieces juxtaposed with grotesque shapes and colors. This show should prove to be a mystical space to encounter.

The show opens November 6th at 8pm.
For more information go to, Maniac Gallery

Birds on the Wires

So this guy took a picture of some birds on a telephone wire and it was published in a newspaper. Another guy read the newspaper, saw the picture and had the impulse to compose a song based on the positioning of the birds on the wires. Inspiration at its finest, I'd say.
