The Festival takes place Martin Luther King weekend at the Denver Mart - a well-known venue in close proximity to the internationally-acclaimed National Western Stock Show. In 2020, the show will coincide with weekend 2 of the 3 weekend long event; perfect timing for capturing peak tourist attendance!

This is the Indian Market's second year under the new leadership of Dash Events and Rio Grande Festivals, producers of 4 other annual award-winning art festivals in New Mexico & Colorado. Our goal is to amaze and entice affluent buyers by showcasing an unrivaled quality and variety of artwork, in a lively environment that everyone (exhibitors included!) will enjoy. To attract more buyers and collectors, the show will be advertised extensively by way of billboards, television, newspaper, postcard mailings, Visit Denver, magazines, email blasts to our existing list of 40,000 patrons, comprehensive social media campaigns, as well as great coverage through local publicity. Last year alone, our tried-and-true kiosk data collection efforts increased our ability to contact Indian Market customers directly by 25%.

ANNOUNCING THE 2019 PULSE GALLERIES

The fair presents art for the engaged buyer in the welcoming and dynamic setting of Miami Beach. Here is the first look at the breathtaking galleries exhibiting with us at our 15th anniversary celebration this December 5-8. Tickets go on sale next week, October 10.

THERE IS NO SLOWING DOWN FOR DAVID LUSK
With galleries in Memphis and Nashville and shows which change 10 or so times a year, David Lusk provides us insight into some of his upcoming projects and what he looks forward to at PULSE.

"I firmly believe there will always be a desire to own something well-created that also imparts a message that affects a collector or appreciator. What that is, is a generation of people steeped in social media but not letters and telephone conversation... is something I consider frequently." - David Lusk

SEK began painting and creating graffiti as a teenager in East Los Angeles. After he finished school he started working under the alias SEK. The moniker is an abbreviation for “second chance and seconds in time”. Using poetry, mathematical principles, and Latin, he communicates streams of consciousness revelations and reflections at a time when he was struggling. He has become known for his lyrical and abstract style. His signature way of crossing out , rearranging and manipulating words and phrases.

Sek prefers his anonymity, his work can be seen on the walls throughout the streets of Los Angeles. Sek has exhibited his work in Los Angeles, Japan and China.

LITTLE ROOM

Phyllis Green Black Holes, 1994, ceramic, concrete polymer, flocking fabric, metal, 9 x 8 x 8 inches

Phyllis Green Another Splash in the Turkish Bath (little room)
Opening Reception:
Saturday, November 2, 2019, 5 - 8 p.m.
November 2 - December 21, 2019

Chimento Contemporary is pleased to present artist Phyllis Green Another Splash in the Turkish Bath. This is a Little Room presentation.

Phyllis Green adopted the title of Jean-August-Dominique Ingres foremost portrayal of the nineteenth century “harem” theme, the painting The Turkish Bath (Le bain turc), for her exhibition of small sculptures at Jan Baum Gallery, Los Angeles, in November 1994. Writing for the Los Angeles Times, critic Susan Kandel commented that “the hot house atmosphere that Ingres incarnates- all damp flesh, intertwined limbs and Near Eastern froufrou- becomes in Green’s hands, both hyperbolic and irresistible.” (LA Times, 16 November 1994). In the statement that accompanied the exhibition, Green wrote:

"The mixed media objects included in this series are hybrids of symbolic male and female representation: perforated and projecting, hard and soft, inside and outside. They are loaded to evoke all manner of “female” allusions by their small size and by the multi-layered use of such materials as flocking, feathers and fabric. The use of female imagery as form and content continues to be devalued by the art establishment, if not by the culture in broader terms. One of my intentions is to challenge the lingering modernist assumption that decoration and ornament, as feminine, are enemies of “high art”."

Here, 25 years later, Green assembles a group of seven of the pieces in this series completed between 1993 and 1996. Other pieces in the series are represented in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and in numerous private collections in the United States.

Phyllis Green (b. 1950, Minneapolis, MN) is an internationally exhibited artist and curator based in Los Angeles. Green is the recipient of numerous prestigious grants and awards, such as Senior Artist Fellowship, City of Santa Monica (2017), the Guggenheim Fellowship (2014), Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York; Individual Artist Grant, Cultural Affairs Department, City of Los Angeles; California Arts Council Artists Fellowship (Sculpture); and the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (Sculpture). Her work is in the permanent holdings of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Winnipeg Art Gallery and numerous private collections.
