Having a show? Let us know.
January 10, 2008
I didn’t mean for the title to rhyme. But it does, I refuse to change it, and now we must live with the cheesiness of it.
We can only do so much here at subpar, and we want to do so much more. We need you essentially, if you have a gallery opening, an art show, or anything remotely similar let us know. We’ll post it, get it out for all to see and maybe even show up ourselves. Just email myself or any other contributor at subpar@subpar.net we’ll do our best to let the world, or our little chunk of it, know.
Gallery: Sticks and Stones
January 8, 2008
There is a gallery opening tonight at Whitworth at the Koehler Gallery for an installation exhibit for Meagan Stirling and Jonathan Chamberlain called Stick’s and Stones. The opening begins at 5 p.m. with a lecture from at artists at 7 p.m. – entrance is free. If you are looking to get your art on and are willing to brave the storms this should be a good show.
From the Official Press Release:
Whitworth will present an art exhibit, “Sticks and Stones,” Jan. 7-Feb. 1, featuring the works of Meagan Stirling, ’02, and Jonathan Chamberlain, both art lecturers at the university. “Sticks and Stones” is a collaborative installation that explores the creation and destruction of language and the effect context has in the particular interpretation of a word. The participation and investigation of language, monitoring preference, and documentation are communicated through this time-based exhibit.

the birth of subpar
January 7, 2008
I founded subpar when I was in college as a creative contingent (The fancy buzzword for a designer club.) Maybe it’s the genuine collegiate experience but going to a tiny northwest school I saw a lack of serious peer critiques and that really frustrated me. I got fed up. I remember forgetting to do an assignment, showing up ten minutes before class and banging out trite crap and receiving general words of praise for my “flowing style” and my “freedom of expression.” This wasn’t the words I craved, nor the opinions I needed but it as the norm.
