JEN PACK: UnQuiet Chroma
November 3 – December 15, 2012
PRESS RELEASE : For Immediate Release
Taylor De Cordoba is pleased to present UnQuiet Chroma, a solo exhibition of new works by Colorado- based artist Jen Pack. The exhibition will run from November 3 – December 15, 2012 with an opening reception for the artist on Saturday, November 3rd from 6 – 8PM.
UnQuiet Chroma is a reference to the artist’s unique perception of color. From a young age, Pack sensed she could feel or hear colors, an extra sense beyond the visual. This synesthesia, or union of senses, is undoubtedly a primary motivator for the artist and explains her intense focus on color in her abstract textile collages.
The finished work is the result of dualities in process, materials and perception. It begins with
disassembly and reassembly. The artist starts by machine stitching together strips of vividly-hued chiffon, moshi fabric and cotton. This is a quiet meditative exercise, a process familiar and comfortable for the artist, who grew up seeing her mother and sisters sewing in the home. With so many pieces of varying thicknesses and elasticities sewn together, the result is an unruly assemblage of texture.
Next the artist begins to stretch the fabric onto a wooden frame, a process of intense physicality, yielding sweat, sore thumbs and shoulders for the artist, and sometimes rips and tears for the fabric collage. The stretching begins to tame and smooth out the fabric. Unexpected variations in how sections respond to the force of stretching can create the most interesting parts of the work. Often the piece will require multiple stretchings, until the surface is smooth and the pattern emerges.
The finished work has the appearance of digital pixelation, belying the rigorous and tactile hand-crafted quality of the work. There is a tension as the process emerges as “too clean” and the hand of the artist is superseded by precision. For Pack, it is on that edge where the work “sings”.
Jen Pack lives and works in Durango, Colorado. She received her BFA from Art Center College of
Design in Pasadena, CA in 1997 and her MLIS from San Jose State University in 2008. Reviews of her
work have appeared in New American Paintings, ArtWeek, Art LTD and The Los Angeles Times among
others.

JEN PACK: Art Wednesday
November 8th, 2012
“When Harry Potter was young he found out he was a wizard, when Jen Pack was a child, she sensed that she could hear colours. We can’t all be wizards, but we think hearing colours is a pretty cool skill, particularly if you’re an artist and can put it to good use. This colour sense is unsurprisingly Pack’s main artistic driving force and she channels it into making colourful abstract textile collages that are beautiful to look at – we certainly wouldn’t mind seeing one on our walls. To create the collages she stitches together strings of multi-coloured chiffon, cotton and moshi fabric, assembling layers of thread and fabric over one another. She then stretches the fabric over a wooden frame – an intensely physical process that requires blood, sweat and tears, especially if the fabric rips mid-procedure. Once the fabric has been stretched, Pack smooths it out producing striking pixelated abstract works that look as though they’ve been painted – no easy feat. The results are magical – a trick of the eye that bely the way they were made. Perhaps Pack does have wizarding powers too?”

FROHAWK TWO FEATHERS: Prop 37 Video with Mia Doi Todd and Om’Mas Keith
October 11th, 2012
Gallery artist Frohawk Two Feathers recorded a song and video with Mia Doi Todd & Om’Mas Keith in support of California Proposition 37 GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS. LABELING. INITIATIVE STATUTE.
Election day, November 6, 2012 is fast approaching, and Californians have the opportunity to pass this very important law.Proposition 37 would require food sold in supermarkets to be labeled if it contains genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
Studies have shown links between GMOs and cancer, allergies, and organ toxicity.
Monsanto and other GMO and pesticide firms have contributed nearly $35 million to oppose Proposition 37.
All of Europe, Russia, India, Japan and China require labeling of genetically engineered food, and so should we.
We are what we eat, and we have the right to know what we are eating!
For more information on Proposition 37, visit: www.carighttoknow.org
Performed by Mia Doi Todd, Frohawk Two Feathers and Om’Mas Keith
Produced by Om’Mas Keith and Mia Doi Todd

FROHAWK TWO FEATHERS: Huffington Post
September 12th, 2012
In conjunction with his newly opened exhibition All Gold Everything. An Elegy at Taylor De Cordoba, Frohawk Two Feathers is interviewed by Priscilla Frank for HuffPost Arts & Culture.
“Frohawk Two Feather is an artist, historian, myth-maker and codifier. As his unusual moniker suggests, Frohawk is not your average storyteller. His illustrated tales look like the unexpected menage-a-trois of your history textbook, a romantic-era portrait, and your fav old school hip hop album art. It doesn’t quite make sense and yet, it works.”
