Hello Everyone-
Please mark you calendars. This is a show I help curate and promises to be lots of fun. A scavenger hunt for art, Bi-Rite BBQ and friends.
Check out www.youngtompkins.com for the premise of the show.
Art can be previewed starting March 1, but the actual “hunt” is Saturday March 8th 12-5pm.
Hope to see you hounds…

Greetings. Mike’s head exploded while figuring out how to blog and use his own site, so it’s been a while since the last update. While he is recuperating and regenerating his lobe that governs internet skills and scheduling powwows with his webmonkey…here is some exciting news:

Inspired by language and fairytales, Michael McConnell creates ominous spaces that hover between youth and maturity, skepticism and failure. Working with graphite and acrylic, the sketched lines of pencil merge with the subdued color palate to produce paintings with a nostalgic quality.
Hmmm. Color palate? or Color palette? Come see for yourself…

Here is Mike at his opening reception, looking belligerent in his uniform that he never changes out of.
My camera stinks.
Anyway. Check out the show, which runs till March 19th. If you missed the opening reception, you can still attend the closing reception, where you can covet all the pieces you want to buy that are already sold. Mike will probably be there, wearing the same, exact outfit.

New work by Kerri Lee Johnson, Michael McConnell, and Jennie Ottinger
Curated by Jill Manthei
Exhibition Dates: March 9-19, 2006
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 9, 7-10 pm
Closing Reception: Sunday, March 19, 3-7 pm
Gallery Hours: March 11, 12, 18, 1-4 pm and by appointment
Arspace presents “Don’t Call Me Fluffy”, an exhibition of new work by three Bay Area artists who share an affinity for animals. In drawings, paintings, and a site-specific wall piece, Kerri Lee Johnson, Michael McConnell, and Jennie Ottinger use lighthearted imagery to explore weightier issues of fear, power and identity.
Jennie Ottinger reinterprets traditional butcher shop diagrams and considers what the animals might be thinking. Removed from their original instructional context, the figures are both gruesome and endearing.
Michael McConnell uses fairytale-like imagery to introduce more sophisticated thoughts. His characters exist in an ominous space somewhere between childhood and maturity.
Kerri Lee Johnson explores the dynamic of predator and prey in drawings that have a deceptive innocence. Children and animals play interchanging roles in strangely ambiguous settings.
