View From earth
Marilyn Couch
In February 2015 Art Critic Lauren Smart visited artspace to review the Critical MASS exhibition. Over 100 artists participated, but Painter Marilyn Couch took home the prize in visual art. Marilyn weaves images within her paintings as the brush strokes both hide and reveal aspects within the scenes possibly overlooked by the viewer. Marilyn hopes the viewers imagination will pull images from the unconscious reviving discarded thoughts.

Uncertainty in the I’mpossible
Whitney Newsom
Of all subjects, people are a fantastic reservoir for inspiration, culturally and psychologically, We so often doubt ourselves and what social parameters we fit within. Adornment and materialistic possessions become a veil for our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and our relationships with the outside world. Beyond the surface, who are we really? Beneath the facade and the fear, what truly exists? This exhibition challenges this idea of identity and the possibility of discovering truth within ourselves, leaving no room for deception.
Living Art: A photographic retrospective
M.C. Rollo
Mary Catherine Rollo photographically captured the vigor and vibrancy of the February 2014 UNSCENE! residency with legendary award-winning skateboarder Steve Olson. Rollo was commissioned to document Olson’s six week residency while he produced the Skateable Sculpture and exhibition “Generationless: Skateboarders are Artists, Too”.
