Grass Hut & Hungry Eyeball present Balls Out Thee third

We did the first balls out show……. it was a blast. I was blown away to see some many top shelf artists in one room, and in the pacific northwest no less.
2+ years went by and we did balls out number 2. Blown away again. some new artists, some returning artists. My eyeballs are shooting rainbows into my head. Most people think it’s only been a year since the first one. Time flies when yer having fun.
One year later and now it’s annual for real. Balls Out thee third. 40+ artists from around the globe prepare to shatter your brain with killer paintings. All crammed into tiny ol’ Grass Hut.
My drive behind everything Grass Hut is to bring people together and show you stellar works of art. A chance for anybody in the pacific northwest to get close and personal with art we love.
Come celebrate rad art with us!

Twombly House: Ephemeral Museum

Alicia Blue Gallery and Designform Studio, in collaboration with Living Room Realtors, is pleased to announce a special exhibition of modern art and design.

For two weeks this conducive space will be transformed into an ephemeral museum. The curating of this home will be well executed, down to the finest detail. The exhibit entails a complete spectrum of the finest collections – fine art, product design, and home décor. Design curators Giovanni Castillo (Designform Studio) and Trisha Guido (Relish Design) along with fine arts curator Alicia Johnson (Alicia Blue Gallery) will join forces to orchestrate this uncommon exhibition.

Please talk a lil’ bit about the general idea behind your new series of works for “In Between Time” opening April 29th, 2010 at together gallery in Portland?
I am continuing a series of work that has to do with residual energy and landscapes devoid of being with scattered remnants of a civilization. However I have been sprinkling in some magical/mystical elements for this show. In between time!

If you had an unlimited budget and time was not an issue, what grand artistic vision would you look to bring to life?
Massive ladders and gigantic sewn skeleton gloves atop glowing pulsating animatronic slime mountain towers. Kind of like the Aggro Crag from Nickelodeon’s Guts but way better. Rooms with ladders in every possible direction coming in and out of the walls similar to those spy movies where the red trip beams are everywhere in secure areas – but instead of red beams – ladders. I don’t think I have enough room on this thing to go on and on but you get the idea!

Whats an average day like for you?
I have two jobs + school and curating so – Drawing, working, homework, emailing – I am lucky enough to be surrounded by art whether I am at work or not so that is great.

What do you consider your biggest overall influence?
Thinking about fragility and optimism at the same time.

What’s up with the origins of your name: pretty unique – ryan de la hoz? also 3 different last names in 1? of the hose?
De La Hoz or “de la Hoz” means “of the Sickle” which has roots in my Yaqui Indian ancestors who bordered Arizona but mostly my Spanish farmer ancestors. When I was little I attributed the sickle to the Grim Reaper or Death but that is just a little too radical. So, more like agriculture – not Death.

I’ve notice some repeated imagery in your work: black ladders and witch hats, can you explain?
I like ladders because to me – they can either represent abandoned progress or freedom from oppression. The Magician and Sorcerer hats in my work stem from me incorporating some magical elements and just thinking about controlling space, time and natural/biological elements at will.

Do you listen to music while painting/drawing? If so, do you have a current favorite that inspires?
I must listen to music when I draw. Current favorites are Real Estate, What’s Up, Carson McWhirter, Tobacco, Beach House and Battles. Sometimes I need heavy music too like Botch, Health or Dillinger Escape Plan.

Together gallery is known for pretty intricate installation work each month, got anything planned?
I made two graphic t-shirts specifically for my installation. I will also have some ladder segments that I built – and some paint on the wall action + MORE

coffee, tea, beer, whiskey, kombucha?
Mint Yerba Mate, Beer, Horchata, Arnold Palmer, Kombucha, Coffee, Water

What drew you towards art making, who, what, where, when why?
80′s popular culture drew me towards art making as a kid. “I can make Batman fight a Street Shark!” – that kind of mentality. I also watched Jurassic Park in the theater in 3rd grade and got my lid flipped. I had a pretty good art teacher senior year of High School that really got my ball rolling as far as trying to come up with a “body of work”.

Interests outside of art making?
Watching so bad it’s good movies, looking through both my Grandmother’s attics for family treasures, anything involving flashlights.

Do you make a living off art or what, how do you pay the bills?
No way Jose. I work at Double Punch Gallery in San Francisco and the Oakland Museum of California in Oakland.

Why SF?
I grew up in Fairfield, CA and SF is the nearby mecca of creativity that I gravitated towards. These days, it is where my friends and colleagues are. I also like to be cold and I love blankets.

Whats next? Summer plans? 5 year plans? next 5 minutes?
I am showing at New Accident in Japan in June. Tree Show 6 at Giant Robot SF in May. Ebersmoore in Chicago in December. This Summer – More curating – Working at the Museum. In 5 years, I would like to be a High School art teacher or still at a Museum. Right now I am going to play that Ninja Turtle arcade game from 1990 because I love the music and Donatello.

Thanks?
Timothy Karpinski and my grandfather whom I call “Pop Pop”
