Please join us for the grand opening of Moss + Mineral, a new design
store at 305 S. 9th (across from the Rialto Theater), on Nov. 2-3,
11:00-5:00pm during the *Art at Work / Open-Studio Tour! At M+M you'll
find supertight mid-century housewares matched with modern botanicals and
contemporary art + design. Please check out this thumping review in Post
Defiance, the online magazine:
www.mossandmineral.com/2013/10/23/moss-mineral-review-in-post-defiance/.
*We're kicking off Art at Work Month with "Northwest Dissonance", a group
show featuring:
- Jennifer Adams - paper sculpture
- Regina Chang - metal/wood sculpture
- Kristin Giordano - photography
- Janette Ryan - photography
- Malcolm McLaren - mixed media sculpture
- Lisa Kinoshita - botanical art
In “Northwest Dissonance”, six artists present work that subtly rubs
against the grain of prevailing stereotypes about our region and its
personality type with work that is at once familiar, yet oddly dissonant,
with the extroverted image of the Pacific Northwest signified by the
sun-is-always-shining world of REI advertisements. Instead, these are
intimate meditations on loss and loneliness, the graceful architecture of
nature, the power of the sea to give life and take it away, the cloak of
unfamiliarity that shrouds even the most recognizable of places when viewed
through the lens of an inquisitive photographer.
And even though the rub is gentle, it may deposit a few slivers in the
psyche.
Moss + Mineral isn't a gallery within white walls, but something more like
an orderly living room, circa 1965; one small room simply furnished with
chairs, tables, plants and a lot of vintage and designed objects to pick up
and enjoy (and buy, if you so please). The art is interwoven naturally
throughout, as it would be in an individual’s living room....Read more at
