This month, Grizzly Grizzly installed their first juried open call exhibit, “Other Possible Titles” in their small artist-run space in the old industrial building at 319 N. 11th St. The gallery is filled to bursting with 35 works from almost 250 submissions from all over the US and as far away as Ireland and Australia. We spoke with Mike Ellyson and Jacque Liu, two of the Grizzlies (the group is 8-members strong), who confessed to being thrilled with the response, and with the show. Viewers are encouraged to vote on their favorite piece and many have. The Grizzlies will award the top vote getter with a solo show at the gallery in 2012. The exhibit is up Nov. 26, (see installation pictures on their website). And run over there to catch the show and vote! Gallery hours, Saturdays and Sundays: 2 – 6PM or email 2xgrizzly@gmail.com to make an appointment. The Grizzlies are accepting proposals for exhibits for 2012. Send images, proposals, ideas, and/or links: 2xgrizzly@gmail.com
Below is a short clip from the interview. Next Monday, catch the full episode.
