Without You Here We Are, open Saturday March 13th 7-9 pm

Without You Here We Are , a show by Christian Hansen and Ryann Donnelly

Opening Reception Saturday March 13th, 7p-9p

Show runs from March 13th through April 5th 2010

Christian Hansen and Ryann Donnelly are two artists from different fields, film and music respectively. Without You Here We Are is an experiment for both artists, an exploration into a new medium. Here they emphasize the use of basic lines and shapes, incorporating elements of glass and phrases in search of ways to grapple with their own experiences on set and on tour.


"By trade I make things to look at, movies mostly but also still images of sorts. My venture into painting on glass arose out of a love for typography and the need to constantly experiment. It began with optical titles, a dance film, and a picture I found while snooping on my friends computer. It now continues with chemical inhalation headaches and somewhat improved line work. This work or experiment rather is very much in progress, however I generally find the process just as fascinating, if not more so, than the final product. Perhaps you agree?

Ryann Donnelly can sing better than she can draw. She has been in a band for over 10 years, and draws about weird stuff from tour. She majored in art history, really likes Man Ray, and is really sorry about having an art show even though she can't draw faces, common house pets, or fine landscapes. Apologies. Hope ya like the broken glass.

Places I've wanted to show you, by Eamonn Parke, opens Saturday February 13th, 7-9 pm

Please join us Ballard Artwalk, Saturday February 13th from 7-9 pm

Eamonn Parke Hails originally from Boise, Idaho. His photography captures, admires, and criticizes the health and beauty of life. Eamonn’s motivation stems from an admitted fear of forgetting his own existence, and therefore documents his environment, both familiar and strange. With great affection for analog, and a necessary concession to digital techniques, his work marries old and new. Eamonn Parke Holds a BFA from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington.

"Places I have Wanted To Show You" showcases a series of photographs which highlight the basic compositional elements of each, sometimes stark scene. Bold blocks of color and unusual framing make each photo exude a simplistic and quirky beauty.

Show runs February 13th-March 7th, 20twenty is open from 11-7Monday-Saturday & 11-5 on Sunday.

Opening reception, Saturday December 12th from 7-9 pm

Please join us this Saturday for Ballard Artwalk. Many shops will be open late for your viewing and shopping pleasure.

Into the Ether is a collection of anonymous notes, rants, manifestos, confessions, love letters, and the utterly indecipherable compositions left in the typewriters at 20twenty.

For the past five years, before each vintage typewriter is sold, we've grabbed that piece of paper that folks have been typing away on, ostensibly to test the quality of the typewriter, but more often than not, also leaving something behind. That something, for better or worse, is this show....it's mundane, it's confessional, it's juvenile, absurd and funny, and sometimes even slightly poetic. Completely anonymous conscious and unconscious ramblings, sent straight into the ether...

MASTER, by Anna Wetzel opens Saturday Novemeber 14th, 7-9pm

Join us Saturday for artwalk, 7-9 pm

"MASTER"

BIO:
Anna Wetzel is a Seattle based artist, born in Kansas City, Missouri. Influenced by living in two originally industrial cities positioned within vast wilderness, her work often explores the ways societies define themselves and work through existential neuroses in relation to the surrounding landscape and wildlife.

DESCRIPTION:
Through a new series of self portraits, Anna Wetzel constructs an identity of power based on domestication of the supernatural animals in our midst. When coaxed into submission, these wild creatures become fanciful pets and objects for personal adornment, paraded triumphantly by their bearer as a picture of companionship turned into risky captivity.

Portraits of Fiction, opens Saturday October 10th 7-9 pm

Portraits of Fiction explores the process of collage through found photographs. Julia Salamonik detaches images of people from their surroundings and delicately tucks them away into understated yet striking scenes. All at once simple and quiet they each have a slightly playful side to them.

Born into a tight knit Polish family, Julia grew up amidst a strong cultural tradition of storytelling. She recently graduated from the University of Washington where she studied Photography and Slavic Languages and Literature.
