Jeremy Taylor showing "Salus" in Charlottesville

There is a lot going on this month in the Lumpy world of art, Tory Wright (blog forthcoming) had her solo show "Pleasure Seekers" open last Friday at Lump, Josh Rickards new solo show titled "Do Unto Others and Then Run Like a Mother" opened at Vox Populi in Philadelphia, and Jeremy Taylor's show "Salus" opened at the Garage in Charlottesville, VA. Josh and Tory's shows will be promptly posted but I wanted to get this up to let people know about his closing on the 27th of Febzzzzz.

From the Garage blog: "Jeremy is an artist and professor at James Madison University. His new show, “Salus,” features new drawings, paintings, prints, and objects…all made from natural, organic pigments, and ecologically responsible materials. “Salus” means “safety” in Latin; Jeremy uses the theme of safety to address issues of how animals adapt to their environment in a world far removed from nature."

Make sure you make it to the closing of 'Salus' on February 27th.

Also, Team Lump is in a show currently on display at the AVA center in Chattanooga, TN, called Seed: Bin.

Cockeyed Press Limited Edition Print By TeamLump

Cockeyed Press recently released their first limited edition print of 2009, and it's a TeamLump cluster@#$%!!! We put the composition together and then Bill Fick meticulously carved it out of linoleum and made a series of 25 prints. All purchases go to help TeamLump get over to London this summer for our next collective installation, at Cell Space.

Cannonball Wuz Here, And Still Is.........

Cannonball Press
Drink Up and Be Somebody

Show run: December 5 – 27, 2008

Lump Gallery
505 S. Blount St
Raleigh, NC 27605
Hours: Saturdays 12-5pm and by appointment during the week

Lump will also be open additional Friday nights (12/12 and 12/19) from 6pm -9pm as part of the Every Friday in December is First Friday event.

Them scallywag, good-for-nothing, woodblock carvin', boys from Cannonball Press made a pilgrimage down from Brooklyn last week to install their recent Lump show, "Drink Up and Be Somebody". They dub it the "World Premiere" of a series of giant block prints full of "can you hold my hair while I puke", booty grinding, slobbery. For nine years, Martin Mazorra and Mike Houston have been producing limited edition relief cuts, silkscreens, and lithographs from their own hands as well as publishing prints from other artists, many of which are included in C-balls third Lump show like, Dennis McNett, David Ellis, Maya Hayuk, Bill Thelen, Aiyanna Udessen, Swoon, Bill Fick, and the Amazing Hancock Brothers.

One thing the Cannonballers do very well is squeeze a lot of party into one print, and they sure as fire went "Saloon style" with this show crammed with hundreds of $20 lim ed. works in a space they broke up masterfully by hanging 8x4 foot prints on canvas from the ceiling. Team Lump's Tory Wright took one metric shit ton of pics from the opening night: here's a few.

Cartune Xprez at Lump

HOOLIGANSHIP will sail into Lump on Wednesday, October 29th, presenting their Fall Tour "Cartune Xprez - a roadshow of animated videos and multimedia performance."

Hooliganship is Peter Burr and Christopher Doulgeris. Both artists were born in 1980, and live and work in Portland, Oregon. They formed Hooliganship in 2002 creating performances, videos, music, and installations that revel in a hypnotic abundance of digital information. In REALER live music, cartoons, and video game worlds cross paths in a surreal adventure through 3 dimensions. 3D glasses will be provided at the screening.

A 70-minute program of short animated videos that celebrates the wilderness of imagination through motion pictures will be presented. Featured artists include Bruce Bickford, Eric Dyer, Shana Moulton, Takeshi Murata, Paper Rad and more. Alongside this cartoon theater Hooliganship will be performing their most recent piece entitled “Realer” in which audiences strap on a pair of 3D glasses to bear witness to a televised parade gone awry.
