Clothes & dressing up are not just essential for warmth and modesty – they can be for so much more. They can be a source of joy or misery, a memory, a celebration, a disguise, a means of self-expression or a way of proclaiming allegiance to the tribe. They can attract judgement, compliments and condemnation. They can gild the lily or disguise the unmentionable. They can proclaim your age, your era, your politics or your rebellion. They can be serviceable, impractical, ugly or beautiful. They can also tell stories.” Charuka Arora, Founder Arts To Hearts Project “Ready to Wear is about the fabrics and clothes that weave their way through our lives from birth to death through the minds of a diverse group of artists. The works in Ready to Wear really cannot be understood with a quick glance, because in some case the connection is obvious and in others it requires more contemplation so the audience is forced to slow down. When curating this collection my goal was to create interesting exhibitions in which visitors want to spend a lot of time with each artwork.” Celine Gabrielle, Guest Curator Pack, 2019, included in book and exhibition, ecoconsciousnessecoartspace 2020 October 2020 Artist-In Resident at Centrum Foundation in Port Townsend, Washington USA Click here to listen to the 45 min interview in October of 2020 while I was an Artist-In-Residence in Port Townsend, Washington USA during the full month of 2020. “The second in our series of conversations with Centrum’s 2020 Emerging Artists. In this installment Michelle Hagewood chats with Dawn Stetzel about the evolution and processes within her work. Stetzel generously shares her thoughts on how the work deals with safety, edges, and elements of the ridiculous. She talks through the way the works are performed and documented, and the nuanced ways in which she approaches thinking about place.” Fugitive September 14 through October 6, 2019 Opening Reception Saturday Sept 14th 5-8pm Jesse Jones, Jessica Schleif and Dawn Stetzel AVA Gallery1000 Duane Street (on the corner of 10th and Duane at the street-level in the restored historic Van Dusen Building) Astoria, Oregon 97103 503-741-9694 Thurs 3pm-6pm Fri & Sat 12pm-5pm Sun 11am-3pmSecond Saturday Art Walk open until 8pm (additional viewing hours are open by appointment, please call 503-440-3007) Established in 2010, the Portland Biennial is a major survey of Oregon artists who are defining and advancing the state’s contemporary arts landscape.
