Nacho Mama's Fridge!!!
“Nacho Mama’s Fridge” is a group show of art-for-sale-at-irresistibly-affordable-prices celebrating both generosity and democracy in art with most art priced under $20 at The Kenmore, Box 13 ArtSpace, November 13- December 31, 2010. The opening reception is Saturday, November 13 from 7pm to 9:30pm.
Bonnie Blue, known for her “Women Who Rock” series encompassing portraits on rocks, shoes, bras, and an art car, Cody Ledvina, artist and co-founder of “The Joanna Gallery” in Houston, Texas, Veronica Jackson, Houston-based poet and painter, Merilee Minshew, artist and jewelry designer, Jarrod “Toonzi!” Perez, cartoonist, comic artist and creator of “Screwed-Up Comics”, Keith Reynolds, artist and founder of “The Houston Entertainicle”, Madeline Robinson, capturer of personalities, Lindsey Simard, painter of watercolor hipsters, and Kristi Wilson, current resident at The Houston Center for Contemporary Craft present work at The Kenmore at Box 13 Artspace this Saturday. The exhibition is curated by Emily Sloan.
The majority of the artists in this show sell their works at extremely affordable prices on a regular basis in an attempt to share it with more people and provide themselves with a quick turnaround in their invested materials and time so they can keep creations flowing. Several other artists interested in this idea and approach have joined in creating “irresistibly affordable” art especially for this show. Unlike the refrigerator art a proud parent may exhibit, all of the works are for sale! Additionally, nachos will be served during the opening.

Ariane Roesch and Christoph Hüppi Debut New Work in a Two-Person Exhibition
on view at The Kenmore, Box 13 Artspace, September 18- October 21, 2010
For Immediate Release-- HOUSTON (September 12, 2010)-- Ariane Roesch, a graduate student at CalArts, and Christoph Hüppi, a painter who lives in Zürich, Switzerland, debut new work at The Kenmore at Box 13 Artspace this Friday. Roesch's installation transforms the inside of the refrigerator into hot oven using her signature EL wire, a glowing cord commonly used for commercial signs. Hüppi debuts three new paintings from his “Get to the Point” series, which uses opulent, pearlescent colors to create fluid lines that appear to pulse and vibrate on the canvas. A series of tiny 4 x 5 inch canvases is also featured on the sides of the refrigerator. The exhibition is curated by the collective RJ Curatorial Experiences, Inc.
“I am so excited to present this experimental work that has never been seen in Houston before,” said Emily Sloan, aritst and owner of The Kenmore. “I wanted to open my studio to other artists to give them a chance to show new small scale work that might not be appropriate for other venues. With a common interest in communication, systems of exchange, and patterns of transmission, Ariane Roesch and Christoph Hüppi are a good pair whose work really speaks to each other.”
Christoph Hüppi was born in 1976 in Zurich, Switzerland, where he currently lives and works. He has a BFA from the The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and also studied at Studio Art Center International in Florence, Italy and the Schule für Gestaltung in Zurich. His work has recently been shown in solo exhibitions at Galerie Baviera in Zurich (2010) and galleryHOMELAND in Portland, Oregon (2008) and in group exhibitions at Starkart Exhibitions in Zurich (2010), Kunstraum in Baden, Switzerland (2010), and Birla Art Gallery in Mumbai, India (2006).
Ariane Roesch was born in 1984 in Wuerzburg, Germany, and moved to Houston, TX, in 1996. Roesch received her BFA from the University of Houston in 2007. Her work has recently been exhibited at Horselaw Press in Zurich, Switzerland, and PS in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She is also the co-founder of SKYDIVE, an artist-run alternative space focused on hosting artists working in a range of art practices that push the limits of their material forms. Currently she is working on her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, CA.
