Swoon -- Drown Your Boats at New Image Art Gallery, by rkitek on Feb 15, 2008 5:46:58 GMT 1, I dropped by New Image Art Gallery this evening and got a glimpse at the preparation for Swoon's show, Drown Your Boats, that will be opening this weekend. Once again, she is transforming the entire gallery like last year (sans Faile and company) and the quality of the work is simply amazing -- there looks to be a lot of new work that she hasn't shown before.
There's still working like crazy to get the show done, but if you have an opportunity to go by this weekend or at any point during the run of the show, you won't be disappointed. Looks like it could be one of the highlights this year in LA.

Swoon -- Drown Your Boats at New Image Art Gallery, by daley on Feb 19, 2008 11:13:56 GMT 1, Brilliant work! I love it. Swoon's work reminds me of German expressionist artist Kathe Kollwitz. I'm sure Swoon appreciates her work, especially the lino/woodcut prints. I've linocut printed on all kinds of paper - but WTF is mylar paper as Swoon prints on this?

Swoon -- Drown Your Boats at New Image Art Gallery, by rkitek on Feb 19, 2008 23:09:34 GMT 1, She does lino/woodcut prints on paper, wood and mylar -- which is just a fancy name for polyester film. I'd be interested to know how archival mylar is as compared to paper and/or canvas.
I do know that architectural drawings/renderings are sometimes done on mylar as that's how we did quite a few of them when I was in school.

Nah, dude...I don't know what kind of agenda you have against Swoon, but don't be perpretratin false rumors out there about her. She was definitely at her own show opening. Here is proof:
