More Monkey Business: Addie Juell Extended
Addie Juell’s exhibition The Way It Is has been extended through next Saturday, May 6, 2006.
If you’ve resigned yourself to missing this most excellent exhibition, you’ve got a second chance! Seeing these photos in person is approximately a million times better than looking at them online, so come on down…
The jb’s Greatest Hits
After three years and dozens of exhibtions, we’ve got a lot of fabulous work in our archives, so we decided to take some time out of our busy schedule to re-show some of our greatest hits.
From May 10 - June 3, the gallery is going to take a little walk down memory lane.
We’ll have work on view from all of our previous solo exhibitions, as well as fresh stuff from artists new to the represented artists roster. I get a little misty-eyed just thinkng about it.
Hey, Hot Shot!, Gallery Blogs + More
In other gallery news, the deadline for the Spring edition of Hey, Hot Shot! is fast approaching. You have until Monday May 8 @ noon to submit your entry.
Also, do check out our often updated gallery blogs, manned by our able interns. Christine is posting regularly to the jen bekman news blog and Anna is filling the Hey, Hot Shot! blog with lots of updates from previous winners, photo news and competition announcements.
Last but not least, we’re very excited about our upcoming Summer show, Meditations in an Emergency, an exhibition based on Frank O’Hara’s excellent poem by the same name. More detailed information about that show is coming soon.

4 June 2007
After the storm, my mind cleared.
And a high wind arose and blew the tropics north.
running quartz crystals through a blender.
sand through your engines.
bubbles in your bays.
estuaries reaching out toward forbidden seas…
sand through your eyes.
5 June 2007
Calm as baby’s breath
as peaceful as the storm’s eye
Clouds spread and drawn with rough strokes of stratospheric winds
a warm and windy tropical day.
7 June 2007
Black water at dusk.
Lighting on the horizon.
Warm winds coming in across the darkening waters.
A flash of white wings as an egret takes flight.
And Thunder like God clearing his throat.
8 June 2007
Morning star in the still of the clear, dark waters.
a sky as clear eyed as a young girl.
bruised and tattered storm remnants limp off in the gathering light.
9 June 2007
Tickled her fancy.
giggling all the day long.
pretty good for a Saturday.
Clouds on the lake floating aimlessly by.
She smiled big–grinned really.
12 JUne 2007
A silver sky
ripe for the mirror.
you can not see yourself in this mirror
you can only see others
moreover, you can only see what others choose to expose.
Their houses, their boats, their sea-doos.
Birds skimming low over the water could
like as not
see them selves if they were to look down
as they skim low over the water
but they never do.
Rather they allow their reflections to chase them
quick and sharp over the still, glistening waters
while the bird’s mind remains ever fixed on
food, or other birds, or escaping those damn noisy humans.
A dense forest impenetrable as a gaze.
13 JUne 2007
Like angry bee’s eyes
the metal screen seen through the bamboo blinds.
A million insects dot the lake spreading micro ripples
14 June 2007
Of Fly Catchers and hidden lakes.
Of sleeping lizards and morning dew.
It is of birdsong and misty dawns
and fleeced clouds floating in a still pool.
The waters ripple awake in the gathering morn.
The first water birds head out for the far shore.
20 June 2007
A garden of elephant ears.
A lake of light.
A furrowed sky.
Warm air, tinged with the coolness of a passing shower.
A swath of short green swords with serrated edges.
