Tara Radosevich was born on March 6,1990 in Saint Petersburg, FL. A local artist, she has participated in group shows around the St. Pete and Tampa area. This will be her first solo exhibition. Her work is primarily paintings and drawings that focus' on animals as the subject matter. She also loves to dabble in other mediums as well such as photography. Currently she attends the University of South Florida and will earn her Bachelor's in Fine Arts this December.

 

Show Statement

My process is the expulsion of the subconscious in reaction to the external. Deriving from my infatuation with folklore, wildlife, and the supernatural. My internal emotions and reactions to my external experiences manifest themselves into animal imagery. The paintings themselves become allegorical narratives composited of Symbolism, Surrealism, and Realism. The animal is as is; an emotion, a portrait, a memorable experience, or invoke its own symbolic origins unto the viewer. I am in search of this unison between the human and the beast-the importance of what exactly that animal means to us as the human species; in our dreams and our fears.

Things to DO!

"There are many charming and slightly quirky galleries in St. Petersburg, and among my favorites is Eve-N-Odd Gallery, 645 Central Ave. It's a slip of a space in the Crislip Arcade in which artist Jennifer Kosharek displays her own work and that of other artists. Right now, see the work of conceptual artist Picasso Gaglione, who was an early member of the mail art movement."

Picasso Gaglione: Looking Back Looking Forward

September 7th at the eve-N-odd, 7-10pm

 

PICASSO GAGLIONE

 

LOOKING BACK   LOOKING FORWARD

A New look for Old Photos

A show of works by Picasso Gaglione 

Text: Darlene Domel

 

Eve N Odd Gallery 645 Central Ave St Petersburg Fl

Opening 7 Sept 2013

 

Picasso Gaglione created many incarnations and identifications during his long career as a conceptual artist. 

 

He was one of the very early correspondents in the mail art network started by Ray Johnson and his work under the post name “dadaland” is present in catalogs and the documentation of mail art shows beginning in the late 60’s and continuing to the present day. A large body of his mail art work is part of the permanent collections of the archive of the Library of San Francisco, the Center for the Book Arts in Minnesota, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the special collections section of the Art Institute of Chicago.

 

A fascination with all things Italian led him to the discovery of the Futurist Sintesi theater pieces in the late 50’s and ultimately to the performance of these pieces all through the mid 70’s and into the twenty first century.  His involvement with the Fluxus art movement in performance art is well documented from the mid 60’s to the present day.  He currently performs at art events in museums, galleries and art centers under the title “DADA machine FLUXUS”.

 

He began to use rubber stamps in his artwork in the early stages of his career and finally, in the late 70’s, taught himself how to make rubber stamps for his own use. In the early 80’s he and his wife, Darlene Domel, founded the fine art rubber stamp company, “Stamp Francisco” and became an inadvertent influence in the foundation of the rubber stamp industry.  For more than thirty years they have worked to encourage, teach and inspire others to produce and use rubber stamps creatively.

Gaglione offers a video tour of his very first “Rubber Stamp Museum, dating from the early 80’s, on “you tube” under the title “Abracadada Rubber Stamp Museum. They opened their first rubber stamp store in the early 80s in San Francisco. During this period Picasso also began the series of accumulation publications entitled “STAMPZINE” in which contributors were asked to contribute 75 hand stamped pages. He then compiled the pages and designed the covers.  All contributors received an issue containing these original art pieces and museums and art libraries regularly collected editions. 

 

Picasso took this craft into fine art world in the 90’s with the creation of his “ StampArt Gallery”.  He decided that the gallery would exclusively exhibit the use of rubber stamps in fine art by notable international artists. He personally selected each subject and researched information for every monthly show. He designed a unique poster and catalog for each event. The gallery poster collection was recently featured in a one-man show in New York City and the catalogs are now part of the permanent collection of the library of New York’s Museum of Modern Art.

.

He is recognized as one of the earliest creators of art “zines’ and other limited edition art magazines beginning in the early 70’s.  He coined the word “Dadazine” to describe these works. He was an active participant in the development of the  “artistamp” concept and still uses his own antique perforating machine to create limited editions of his “Stamp Art” zines, the conceptual combination of both art forms.

 

One of Picasso’s most innovative creations is the limited edition box set. Each of these handmade box sets usually, but not always, contains a combination of his favorite art forms: a rubber stamp, a zine - often entirely hand stamped, and an artistamp sheet focused on a subject of some particular fascination to him. They are produced in very limited editions and succinctly reflect his rather whimsical perspective on some provocative and often obscure fragment of art history.

 

The works in this show contain a capricious collection of altered antique photographs bearing the unique “Gaglione” signature. With pen and ink Picasso carefully creates another layer of complex designs over the old images in a kind of dada art graffiti that transforms the antique into a modern, witty dynamic. He draws history into fantasy.

 

Picasso Gaglione never stops making art or discovering new ways to make art. Examples of his works can be found in private collections and major art museums worldwide

 

Picasso Gaglione and his wife currently reside in Lake Villa Illinois, outside Chicago.  He still produces a line of rubber stamps in addition to his other artworks.  He can be found actively corresponding with other artists all over the world via his  “facebook” page.

February 26th please join me, and all the shops in the Crislip arcade for eve-N-odd's  2 year anniversary!  Who knew we would make it this long!!!!

Party will be 6-8pm.  Come enjoy a fun time for all! 

The Loop

THE LOOP is my first conceptual piece in the eve-N-odd gallery and of my own making.  (Jennifer Kosharek)
The Loop consists of a scroll of messages from an imaginary man and chronicles the last days of the relationship when he abruptly ends the connection.  There are around 300 text messages documented in an endless loop of paper.  Many people who get dumped in a relationship are left thinking about the horrible things the other person did to them.  What if you could just remember the positive things??  The Loop is about reliving, remembering the good times you had.  17 days or 17 years... it does not matter... take time... remember love.  Don't focus on the loss... just the good.  This is what the Loop is all about.  He gave me the 17 best days of my life. 

Fear makes us do strange things... we change our behavior because of fear in our lives.  The Loop is also a reminder to change your way of thinking--do not dwell on the negative.  Do not let the negatives in life keep you from living and having new adventures.  Do not be ruled by your fears.

The Loop scroll is in the middle of the gallery and takes up a lot of the space.  It makes coming into the gallery inconvenient and crowded.  Sometimes when someone new comes in to your life... this is how it feels at first--like a total inconvenience.  I wanted this art piece to interrupt the viewer from their normal movements and visual existence.  The Loop is an interruption in life. 

The eve-N-odd gallery will be open late February 9th for the Artwalk.  Join us from 6-10pm to see the Loop in person.

February 14th, Thursday from 5-6 the eve-N-odd gallery will be hosting performance art events.  If you would like to perform: poetry readings, fluxus performance, story telling... please email me at evenoddgallery@gmail.com .  If you cannot make it yourself--I would be happy to perform the piece on your behalf. 

February 14th line up includes: Lydia Gottardi and Velva Lee Heraty and Jennifer Kosharek
Velva will be reading, "My Chocolate Loving Vampire". Emmanuel Roux is donating chocolate for the occasion.
