Breeze Block Gallery 2013/14

svenman · Sun Apr 14, 2013 8:16 pm

Following on from the Space//Form exhibition i worked on last year with Breeze Block, I'm working with the gallery on curating their 2013/14 programme.
A new gallery space has been built, so there will now be 2 exhibitions per month.
We're starting off in May with olive47's solo show and a large scale group exhibition called 'Wider than a postcard' involving 200 artists.
More details on those to come shortly, but I just wanted to share the details of the upcoming programme...

Congrats on your new endeavor. The Space//Form show was excellent so it's not to see you pushing on.
It looks like you've lined up a great year.

Thanks Fnord. The line up was a lot of fun to put together.

Any artists get screwed over by Breeze Block? Shoot me a message...I have some info that could potentially be useful.

Amazing there wasn't more public outrage over non-returned works.

Am I on meth, or did svenman have way more than 16 posts here....

Some posts go away when a thread has expired and disappears. I think that he posted more on event threads, which tend to not get bumped after more than a year and then disappear. He also posted more on Artchival than here I think.

This isn't to say that you aren't on meth.

I wasn't going to say much more until the issue was resolved with the artist (Mike Egan), but it's squared away now, so I guess we're good.

Four paintings that just sorta disappeared when Breeze Block closed shop were recently donated to a Goodwill in Oregon. I'm not absolutely sure who "donated" them, but I know they where never returned to Mike. I clued him in this morning and Goodwill is acting in...well....good will and is returning the paintings and investigating it. Unfortunately, two paintings have already been sold.

Seems like a number of artists were never paid in full or had all of their work returned.

Here are the stolen goods:

Luls. I had no idea goodwill does online auctions.

I've seen paintings go for over 40k on there. Usually not any great deals to be had and people often overpay compared to other sales venues. Weird marketplace.

I think Jeff Proctor never got some stuff back. He said he didn't know about a piece I inquired about a little bit ago. As far as I know it was still unsold when the site went down.

Same thing with Frank Gonzales. I'm sure it's just the tip of the iceberg.
