JAN/FEB 2013

Happy Start to 2013!

To begin with, I have some new work up on my website: www.caetlynnbooth.com

For the next few months, I'm subletting a nice studio space in Berlin-Wedding as I work toward the exhibition for my two-year project here in June 2013 at I-A-M Institut in Berlin-Neukölln.

I'll be sending out a studio update separately with details for this as well as the show "10 Years Too Late" that Tyson and I are curating at the I-A-M Abteilung in Berlin-Mitte, so stay tuned! Tyson and I were happy we could invite artists whose work speaks to the theme of this show while fitting within a small format. We're planning to organize one show a year with new themes, in a variety of spaces, and look forward to presenting the work of other artists in future.

Also, check out Tyson's blog: http://www.tysonwashburn.blogspot.de/

Here are some recent images:

Yes, that is a sliver of sky between the two buildings. How do they do that??

 A recent painting commission I was working on

I especially liked this stage of the under painting

 I made the painting from the gridded drawing seen here

 In progress...

Drawing has been coming in handy lately in general. Good way to get a great cut!

 Our jam sessions are just getting that much more ambitious. 8 flavors, nearly 40 jars worth!!!

The Hobbit in 3D! My eyes still ache thinking about it

Recently, we also traveled to Dresden to see our friend Joseph Lake's most recent orchestra piece performed by the Dresden philharmonic! Way to go Joe!!!

 

From the train going to Dresden

The following day, we traveled to Chemnitz to see the Neo Rauch & Rosa Loy exhibition put on in celebration of the museum's acquisition of a commissioned Rauch painting. Here are a few images from the show--so good and interesting to see the paintings of this power couple!

 

 This shows the impressive scale of Rauch's work. Loy's is on a smaller scale, mysterious & intimate

 Rosa Loy, Moonlight

Rosa Loy, The Other Side

 Rosa Loy, Order

 Neo Rauch's, The Balancing Act, commission for Chemnitz

 Neo Rauch, Towers

 Neo Rauch, Choir

Things I’ve read lately: The Urban Revolution by Henri Lefebvre, Between the Eyes by Levi-Strauss, Art as Experience by John Dewey, and Turps Banana Magazine. I am especially enjoying Dewey and Lefebvre's philosophical approaches to their subjects.
