Seattle, WA 98104

http://www.gregkucera.com/
Established in 1983, Greg Kucera Gallery has created a national reputation for its engaging exhibition program focused on artists making a significant contribution to our culture. Recognizing that contemporary art is a moving target, the Gallery has championed emerging regional talent while seeking out relationships with nationally known artists who are also on the cutting edge. Early exhibitions for Kiki Smith, Jennifer Bartlett, Kara Walker and Andres Serrano, have been pivotal in establishing national visibility for the gallery.
The Gallery shows artists of the northwest within a national context though its participation in international art fairs, publishing exhibition catalogs, and by curating thematic exhibitions concerning the political situation of our present culture, and movements within the art world.
Exhibited inventory regularly includes works by Bourgeois, Butterfield, Close, Diebenkorn, Frankenthaler, Hockney, Johns, Kentridge, Marden, Motherwell, Puryear, Rothenberg, Waterston and Winters. The Gallery represents the print editions of U.L.A.E. in the Northwest, and works closely with various other publishers and studios.
The soaring, expansive space, of over 6,500 square feet, was designed by noted architect David DiMarco, to comprise three separate exhibition galleries, a mezzanine for prints and works on paper, and an outdoor sculpture deck. The Gallery also maintains a virtual presence with one of the most complete and highly respected websites in the art world.

Brent Sommerhauser, SADA Introductions 2009
The Seattle Art Dealers Association is pleased to announce that its members will join together during the month of July to spotlight the work of emerging artists or artists new to their galleries. Dealers encourage viewers to participate in a special midsummer gallery walk on Saturday July 18 from 11-5pm. Many of the artists whose work is featured will be present at venues from 2-4pm. SADA Introductions 2009 is an effort to showcase the work of artists who may be unfamiliar to the local audience.
Summer is often considered a sleepy season for the art world in other parts of the country, but it is one of the busiest seasons for SADA. With terrific weather, locals stay in town and the city becomes an exciting cultural destination for collectors from all parts of the world. In early June, collectors, curators and gallery owners often head to Europe for the Venice Biennale, Art Basel, and other events. But July is a mainstay for the Seattle Art Dealers, so on July 18 they will take advantage of this time to present untested or new talent. These linked exhibitions mark SADA’s ongoing commitment to bring new artists and their work to the attention of the community. A new round of Introductions will be scheduled in the future. The eighteen participating galleries are located throughout the city.

Brent Sommerhauser's exhibition, The wind would find it out, will be featured as part of this event at at Greg Kucera Gallery.

Brent Sommerhauser: Clark County 2009 3-D Invitational
Brent Sommerhauser: Clark County 2009 3-D Invitational
Originally uploaded by TelegraphArt
For the tenth year, Clark County Parks and Recreation will host the “3-D Invitational” exhibit, beginning Feb. 2, at the Clark County Government Center Rotunda Gallery, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway. The group exhibition features original three-dimensional pieces created for the show by artists Keith Conley, Curtis Fairman, Emily Kennerk and Brent Sommerhauser. Receptions for the artists will take place during First Friday events from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 6 and March 6. The exhibit continues at the gallery through March 20. Attendees can park at the Government Center, view the exhibit and then take a free shuttle to other First Friday venues.
The four artists selected are all strongly compelled by form and played that out in these works made specifically for this show in an array of materials. The result is a collection of work that at first glance is playful but ultimately reveals the darker mood of the moment we all find ourselves in.
Keith Conley is an associate professor at the College of Southern Nevada, where he teaches sculpture. He will be in residence as part of the Goldwell Residency Program in 2009. Curtis Fairman’s work was recently included in “Las Vegas Diaspora,” an exhibit curated by Dave Hickey at the Las Vegas Art Museum. The exhibit also traveled to the Laguna Art Museum. Emily Kennerk is a recent arrival to the valley and is an associate professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she teaches sculpture. The Indianapolis Museum of Art presented a solo exhibit of her work in 2007. Brent Sommerhauser has exhibited nationally and internationally and is a member of Telegraph, an exciting artist collective. Since becoming a resident of Nevada his work has been recognized by the Nevada Arts Council with two Artist Fellowship honorable mention awards and a Jackpot Grant.
Those interested in the “3-D Invitational” can call 455-7030 or visit the Web site at www.accessclarkcounty.com/parks and click on Events and Exhibits.

EMU as MUSE: Telegraph at Eastern Michgian University
EMU as Muse: A Project of the Telegraph Art Collective
University Art Gallery
Reception: Tuesday, Oct. 14, 5:00-7:00p.m.
Gallery Talk by the Telegraph artists at 5:00p.m.
Comprised of seven members with diverse disciplinary backgrounds, TELEGRAPH is an artist collective that originated in Detroit. Their members are now scattered across the country in Birmingham, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Fort Collins, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Thus, the name Telegraph describes both their long-distance method of collaboration and pays homage to Telegraph Road, the ubiquitous Detroit thoroughfare. In mid-October Eastern Michigan University will become the object of Telegraph’s artistic inquiry. The artists will not bring finished works to Ypsilanti, but with parts, pieces, sketches and notes in hand, they will descend on campus and spend three days creating site-specific work. The detritus, people and resources of EMU and vicinity will become both their subject and media as they engage with the area’s built and open spaces.
