An Abridged Visual Mapping of A Place of My Own within the Context of 667 Shotwell
Kelly Lynn Jones
November 2 - December 8, 2012


Chris Sollars invited Jones to come into his and Alison Pebworth's home/studios/ art space to survey their personal world and history through their things. Jones looks into the reciprocity of object and person that occupy the home and what relationship can evolve with ones' collection. Jones creates a connection with them through re-making selected objects and installs them throughout their personal space.

Martin Durazo: Affirmation Juice

Opening Reception: Saturday March 19, 2005

Affirmation Juice is an interactive installation of refreshing drinks, various displays of objects and literature that give meaning to one's life and predicaments. Yoga masters can establish and diagnose problems with a person's living habits by reading fecal matter. Astrologers attribute personality quirks to a date of birth and physcho-analists read into past experiences to find meaning in current emotional states. Affirmation Juice will be part snake oil, part refreshment, all fun and ecouragement to be happier with life. Your are good. There is nothing wrong with you, and I'm not perfect- and that's ok.
