Jorge Cocco Sunday, January 20 @ 22:26:39 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (77 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Amiel Cocco telling me about his father, the artist Jorge Cocco. Jorge is an Argentine artist who joined the church shortly after his marriage to Myriam Verbauwen where they were baptized in the Uruguay River in 1962, and became the first members of the LDS faith in their home town of Concepcion del Uruguay, Entre Rios, Argentina. In 1976, their family left Argentina because of political turmoil and moved to Spain. The Cocco family later moved to Mexico where Jorge was a distinguished professor in the Fine Arts School at the Universidad de las Americas in Puebla, and have now returned to currently reside in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Jorge has had an extensive art career spanning several decades of production and exhibition in Spain, Mexico, Japan, and the US. He is currently working on a project to paint narratives from the Book of Mormon, but has in the past worked in non-objective abstraction and primitive styles. To see more of his work go to this link.
Chris Coy Sunday, January 20 @ 21:28:44 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (74 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Chris Coy is an artist living in Salt Lake City, Utah who recently graduated from BYU with a BFA in Graphic Design. I recently surfed his website while looking through some friend's links, and felt like I had struck web-art gold. It's a bit different than the average site to navigate, so click on the colored word links.
This new genre of art has been around since the advent of the internet, but rarely have I found anything this pleasurable. He reworks cheesy gif animations, internet chats, pop music midi files into 21st century digital collage.
His work has gained some worthy attention and will be featured in the Montage: Unmonumental Online show at the New Museum in NYC in conjunction with their Unmonumental sculpture exhibit.
Mormon Heroin Sunday, March 04 @ 20:07:30 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (158 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Kent Christensen attended BYU and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He has had a successful career in NYC doing editorial illustration, and recently finished his Masters at the University of Utah. Christensen's newest series of paintings, "Mormon Heroin" deals with the all too familiar addiction of sweets in Mormon culture. Ask any relief society president. Glen Nelson of the Mormon Artists Group(based in NYC) referred Head of Shiz to Kent's delictable paintings. On the Mormon Artists Group website, you can purchase one of Kent's amazing prints, "Salt Water Jetty". Check out his work on Kent's website and at Eleven Fine Art in London where he just showed.

Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Sunny Belliston is finishing up the MFA program at Ohio State and recieved her BFA from BYU. Take a look at her page to see more of her work.
Neil Labute Wednesday, January 24 @ 22:12:43 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (131 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "I know this is a bit tardy, but Neil Labute was interviewed on NPR in October, and speaks about his time at BYU, and the dilemma in choosing between faith and art. Labute converted to the Mormon faith while attending BYU and later left the church. Some of his films include In the Company of Men, Nurse Betty, Possession, The Shape of Things, and most recently the remake of The Wicker Man. Listen to the interview here.
Shown here on the left, directing BYU friend Aaron Eckhart and Gwyneth Paltrow. "
Joe Penrod Wednesday, January 24 @ 21:25:39 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (154 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Joe Penrod has been on hiatus from his art practice for a couple of years doing the family and work thing. Good for him. Well, things have settled down a bit and this BYU art department graduate is back to making work. Good work. He's got a show coming up at The Black Front Gallery in Olympia, Washington. Check out his blog to see more of his amazing blue tape drawings. Welcome back Joe.
Estudio Abierto -- Argentine Festival of Contemporary Art & Culture Saturday, December 02 @ 23:29:19 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (125 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "We were lucky enough to be in Buenos Aires for the opening of Estudio Abierto, a two week festival of contemporary art, music and theatre in its third year which changes venues (and barrios) each year and Argentine and international artists to participate.
This year Centro was the barrio for the event. Estudio Abierto took over much of the Palacio de Correos (or central post office), which, due to the changes in communications, is not in as much use as it once was. A reinvestigation of the past was the theme of the exhibit, La illusion de lo moderno, and many of the artists chose to create site specific works that interrogated the nature and function of the building they were occupying.
Underground Art in BsAs Wednesday, November 22 @ 21:43:28 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (134 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "I'm spending a couple of weeks with the wife and kids in Argentina. We've got a little apartment in Buenos Aires and in addition to the juicy steaks and my first try of mate, I've been enjoying the vibrant art community here. The city has a number of excellent (if sometimes small) museums in various neighborhoods throughout the city and a thriving gallery scene as well. One of the more intriguing aspects of the art scene is where they choose to show their art -- often underground. "
Taking a Blade to Someone's Artwork Wednesday, October 18 @ 01:46:13 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (144 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Ever feel like taking a blade to someone's artwork? Well, that's what I'm inviting you to do. For the past few weeks, my 5 x 90 foot pastel drawing, Tiamat, has been on display at Finch Lane Gallery (detail below). On November 4th, the day after the end of the exhibition, I'll be cutting the whole thing up.
A real blog entry on Artists and Mormonism Wednesday, September 20 @ 00:00:00 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (160 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "I was looking through our HTTP referers (a list that shows what sites people were at just before coming to this one) and I saw a number of hits from a Times and Seasons blog entry so I clicked on it. Nate Oman has written an entry examining the problems of the Mormon artist and the Romantic notion of the artist. The entry is well-written but what I found more interesting is the discussion it created -- the comments go on and on. Down there on comment 35 is the plug for headofshiz. Take a look at the blog by clicking here."
Frank McEntire's Spontaneous Memorial Thursday, September 14 @ 13:19:36 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (200 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "September marks the one-year anniversary of headofshiz (formerly mormonvision) so I thought I would try to do something special for a blog this month. Of course, this September is also the 5th anniversay of the 911 attacks, so it seemed appropriate to take the event into consideration within the framework of headofshiz.
Frank McEntire's current exhibit, Spontaneous Memorial, at the Salt Lake City Main Library through September, is a powerful installation that takes the 911 tragedy, and, with it, all senseless tragedies, into a powerful, sacred space of contemplation and memorialization. Frank is one of the most interesting artists in Utah. He has also been an active curator and writer on the arts (he was the SL Trib art critic for a time) so I knew an interview with him on the exhibit would provide fascinating reading. Little did I know that I would only have to ask one question and Frank's response would answer many of my planned follow up questions. Read the rest of this blog entry for the interview, and I will follow up with another post with the continuation ofthe interview. If you have questions of your own, include them in the comments and I will incorporate them into the interview.
Tony Watson on the LDS Art Competition Thursday, September 14 @ 02:30:45 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (128 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "I'm frequently surprised by how many AWAMs (artists who are Mormon) don't know about the LDS Church's International Competition. I was one of them until recently and I still am not aware of it enough to get on their list or submit something for entry. The International Art Competitions are held every other year and attract entries from members from across the world. The 7th competition just came down last week. If you didn't have a chance to see it, the works are online at www.lds.org
In this month's edition of 15 Bytes, Tony Watson took a look at the exhibit in search for an idea of LDS art. Click here to read his article."
Amanda Lynch Monday, September 11 @ 11:22:12 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (131 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Amanda Lynch is a second-year MFA student at San Jose State. Some of you may know her from her short stint at BYU in 2000. She works primarily on ceramic slabs and paints with glazes. She's from Fostoria Ohio and did her BFA in ceramics at Bowling Green. She is also my girlfriend, but please, don't hold that against her. Check out her website.
Clayton Merrell Monday, September 04 @ 11:32:17 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (140 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Robert Watkins referred me to Clayton Merrell whom I should have already been familiar with. He lectured at BYU in 2002 while I was there, but for some reason I missed it. He received his BFA from BYU in 1993 and his MFA from Yale in 1995. He's been featured in two New American Paintings issues and numerous other publications. From 1998-2004, he taught at Carnegie Mellon University. Take a look at his website.

Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Robert Watkins received his BFA from BYU in 1996, and his MFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 2000. He now currently resides in South Korea where he teaches at Pai Chi University. Check out his website here.
Jacqui Biggs Larsen and Mark England Recognized Saturday, August 26 @ 00:00:00 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (127 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Jacqui Biggs Larsen and Mark England were each awarded a $10,000 Artist Fellowship from the Utah Arts Council this year. This year's juror was Jonathan Goodman, who has written for ARTnews, Art in America and Sculpture magazine.
It may not come as much of a surprise that these two artists are Mormon. After all, the award was for Utah (though for the record, the past couple of years I believe Mormons were in the minority for the UAC fellowships). What is refreshing about the award is that Goodman recognized both artists for the novel ways in which they are dealing with issues related to their home state of Utah.
Pictured is an image by Mark England from a show in May at the Salt Lake Arts Council.
"
Doing some Barney research during Drawing Restraint, I came upon this article from the Miami New Times about LDS Missionaries. It lists some prominent Mormons in the arts including Barney. "Cremaster creator and artist Matthew Barney is a baptized though nonpracticing Mormon".
Utah Standards of Art Monday, July 24 @ 19:14:41 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (129 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Geoff Wichert takes a stab at answering the question "Why are the people in Brian Kershisnik's paintings so ugly" and in the process examines the Utah standards for figurative art and some artiists taking new approaches to those standards. Read it in 15 Bytes.
Two Installations by Pam Bowman Monday, July 24 @ 19:09:50 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (122 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Sculptor and BYU professor Brian Christensen profiles installation artist Pam Bowman in this month's edition of 15 Bytes. Pam has two installations going on this month -- one in Provo and one at the CUAC in Ephraim -- and will soon be heading for an extended stay in China.
Carleton Christy @ Works San Jose Friday, July 07 @ 14:57:38 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (138 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Recent California State University Long Beach MFA grad Carleton Christy recently showed in the New California Masters exhibit @ Works San Jose in San Jose. My girlfriend and I checked out the opening and met Carleton's two friends who are in the show as well, Jeffery Foye and his wife Jocelyn Schneider Foye. Great people and great work. I'm sorry I don't have images of their stuff. Here's a couple yellow shots of Carleton's fabulous work. A big departure from his undergrad art at BYU. For better images, click on his name at the top of this text.
Ricky Allman @ Bucheon Sunday, May 21 @ 16:24:47 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (156 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Last weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with the painter and Rhose Island School of Design MFA student Ricky Allman. He was one of the twenty artists featured in a watercolor show entitled, "Deluge" at Bucheon Gallery in San Francisco. As an LDS member, Ricky's two pieces in the show continue to explore his interest in the literal and metaphorical baptisms of the earth. Here's an article at artinfo.com about the show and more specifically, the medium of choice. Other notable artists included in this show are Brooklyn based Elizabeth Huey and the Bay Area's Laura Ball.
Proposals are invited for papers to be presented on this years symposium theme,
Pious Pictures: Christian Iconography and Personal Expression in the Production of Faith-Based Art.

Aaron Ruell Sunday, May 14 @ 15:36:27 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (336 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "The San Francisco based art website Fecal Face has a section called Sunday Movies, that features interesting videos and short films from various internet sites. Scanning those videos I came across "Mary", a beautifully shot short film by Aaron Ruell, who played Kip in Napoleon Dynamite, and is also a very talented photographer, director, and writer as well. Here's a link to his film and photography work. Click on the "Ruell" portrait. According to Wikipedia, his feature directorial debut "Warm Blue Day" will begin production this year. He will also be starring in the upcoming film "On the Road with Judas" that should be released this year. Aaron is a BYU grad and now lives in Pasadena with his wife.
Bishops are Artists Too Thursday, May 11 @ 12:33:44 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (201 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "Bishops Bruce Robertson and Ben Behunin are showing this month in Salt Lake. Okay, the fact that these two artists are LDS Bishops really has nothing to do with their work (at least that I've been able to tell). It's really a gee whiz factor. But I do get the sense from some artists, and some outsiders, that being a Mormon and being a professional artist is somehow incongrous and that we must somehow be at the fringes of our communities.
Yard Sale Monday, May 08 @ 20:07:55 GMT by Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmortal (123 reads)
Hack-By-K1ll3r-Inmor writes "I know this is a bit tardy, but thanks to Chris Lynn
and his link, I happened upon the website for a short film that screened at Slamdance in January (Chris designed the site). The filmmaker Brad Barber is currently attending USC's grad film program and is a BYU graduate. He is also married to my friend Susan who is featured in the short. Here's what Film Threat had to say about it. Also, check out this article in the Washington Post on the growing "Mormon indie scene".
