About the exhibition:
In Uncanny Times: Looking Back, Looking Forward, artists ponder these uncanny times we are in and consider, though our current times seem unrecognizable, whether there are recognizable patterns from the past. What has remained the same or cycled back? What new paradigms will we forge?

Phinney-Seidel is currently available by appointment.

Join us at our satellite space, Mr. Pool, for the closing reception of Parallel Shift in collaboration with RULE Gallery. It brings together two Colorado artists with strong geometric and patterning practices. For Bruce Price, his work straddles the boundary within patterned work that some use to separate geometric abstraction from ornamentation. Skillfully shifting back and forth between the two; asking the viewer to take the work on its own merit and not some arbitrary line or definition. Susan Blake creates abstract paintings that both play with the world of pattern and investigate the act of seeing. Her work draws upon her study of art history and geology, work in digital design and love of domestic sources of decoration such as fabric and wallpaper. Both artists like to create pieces that challenge the viewer’s preconceptions, following similar lines as they shift between abstraction and ornamentation. learn more 

Parallel Shift will be on view September 20 - November 16, 2019.

Mr. Pool is located at 2347 South Street, Boulder, CO 80302

Seidel City is pleased to present Pictures from Russia, No Collusion, featuring photographs by Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg. Please join us for an opening reception Saturday, September 14, beginning at 6:30 pm with a talk by Ukranian arts advocate Luba Michailova. Artists will be in attendance.

With the emergence of the new world order and the shifting of both political and social norms, one thing that still remains a constant is a person's need for love. Whomever, wherever one is, the need for home, friendship, and love remains a constant in a world full of turmoil and misunderstanding. Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg will be showing photographs from recents trips to Russia, which show the normalcy between cultures regardless of political persuasions. learn more

Luba Michailova (Ukraine) is the founder of IZOLYATSIA, a non-profit, multidisciplinary platform for contemporary culture in Ukraine. The foundation's mission is to inspire positive change by using culture as an instrument in art, research, and projects geared at activating Ukraine's creative sector. Her collection featured site-specific commissions produced through IZOLYATSIA. A significant part of the collection was lost during the military seizure of IZOLYATSIA's premises in Donetsk by the pro-Russian separatists in June 2014. Luba Michailova is a member of the Tate Russia and Eastern Europe Acquisitions Committee and member of the Expert Council for Contemporary Art at the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. 

Pictures from Russia, No Collusion will be on view September 14 - November 17, 2019.

Seidel City will host open gallery hours for our current exhibition, Vibrant Femmes | Materiality with artists in attendance.

Paper, clay, resin, cloth, yarn, beads, organic materials, found objects - these are the building blocks of the artworks created by the five Vibrant Femmes artists in Materiality. With a strong focus on process and texture, the pieces on display demonstrate the wide array of creations possible when artists move beyond painting, sculpture and photography. The artworks share an extreme attention to detail and use of meditative, time-intensive processes.

Themes of nature and mysticism are woven throughout the works, with Seidel City as the perfect setting: surrounded by open space and mixed use buildings focused on art, music and making, there is a raw and magical quality that the setting and the works share. The inherently tactile properties of the art invite the viewer to contemplate the variety of techniques that each artist is using. The hope is that you, the beholder, will leave inspired to get outside, experience the textural and the immediate in your world, perhaps get your hands dirty in homage to the tactile and the now.

Featuring work by: Tracey Bergrud, Kelly Duffield, Eva Maier, Julie Maren, and Liz Quan

Vibrant Femmes | Materiality will be on view May 18 - June 16, 2019

Explore the concept and creation of your own personal power object for your life and creative practice. Working with Vibrant Femmes artist Eva Maier and curator Kecia Benvenuto, we'll use different media directly related to the practices of the 5 artists in Vibrant Femmes | Materiality (clay, collage, found objects, textiles, and fiber). We'll spend the day exploring, making, and connecting to our inner muse and leave with a talisman for the future.

Please bring one token or item that is precious to you to serve as inspiration for creating your muse. 

Price: $120
includes materials, snacks, and vegetarian GF lunch on premises

Seidel City will host open gallery hours for our current exhibition, Subject & Surface, with artists Kellye Eisworth and Forrest Lotterhos in attendance.

In Subject & Surface, artists Kellye Eisworth and Forrest Lotterhos engage with the body as a site of exploration. The artists draw on their own personal histories to create two distinct bodies of work investigating concepts of identity, agency, and vulnerability. In his short film phoria, Lotterhos draws from his experience as a trans man to offer an intimate look into the complex relationship between the body and the self through candid conversations with members of the trans community. Informed by her experience as a woman with prominent, visible scars, Eisworth’s Topographies of Pain is a series of photographs featuring “female” subjects who have been physically marked by their past while questioning the body’s role in the construction and performance of identity and gender. In Subject & Surface, these two intricate narratives intersect and diverge to form a dialogue that deepens the complexity and amplifies the resonance of both.

Join us for a conversation with artists Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg in conjunction with our latest exhibition, Soldiers & Saints. 

In Soldiers & Saints, artists Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg explore the liminal spaces beyond normative culture and the communities that live there. Selected from his series WHITE TRASH, Christopher Makos’ gritty black and white photographs chronicle New York City’s emerging punk scene in the 1970s and feature iconic figures like Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Patti Smith, and many others. Photographs from Paul Solberg’s Service, a collection of intimate portraits of military in the United States, Russia, and the Ukraine, provide a counter balance to the unapologetically raw vitality of Makos’ portrayal of punk counterculture. Solberg’s soft, atmospheric images imbue the anonymous soldiers with a haunted, otherworldly presence. Both exploring concepts of stigma, identity, and otherness, the juxtaposition of Makos’ and Solberg’s work creates a delicate tension between two artistic interpretations with equal resonance.

After Nature: The Age of the Age of the Anthropocene is a selection of images from artist Natascha Seideneck's The Disaster Archive, a series comprised of appropriated images curated from a growing archive on the Internet of floods, tornadoes, iceberg melts, hurricanes, sinkholes, accidents and storms. These highly aestheticized photographic objects intend to draw an emotional response from the viewer to question the role of catastrophic events and whether disasters are cause and effect of technological "progress."

Ghost Ship of State: A Performance is a collaboration between writer Joan Harvey and visual artist Natascha Seideneck. The poem, written by Harvey, responds to the dual shock of the 2016 elections and the fire three weeks later at the Ghost Ship, an artist collective in a converted Oakland warehouse that killed 36 young people. To Harvey, these events seemed to portend the onset of a national trauma, an insight that was all too prescient. Musical realization by Farrell Lowe and Dave Willey and sung by Elena Camerin Young and Tom Weiser in a performance that celebrates and mourns the innocent lives lost in the Ghost Ship fire while grieving the current tragedy confronting the nation.

Reception to follow with a performance by punk rock band Rocket Dust (Monica Ward, Dan and Kelly Merrick)
