STILL
\nOctober 1 \u2013 October 10, 2010
\nReception: Friday, October 1st 5 \u2013 9PM
\nLone Fir Cemetery \u2014 SE Morrison Street, Portland, OR
\n(entrance on SE 26th between Stark and Morrison Streets \u2014 Bus riders, use Line 15)<\/p>\n

Jacomijn Schellevis and Micki Skudlarczyk are fascinated by death. Their passion is not painted with a macabre brush, but laid down by the beauty of burial, its quietude of organic process and its significance in world culture. Jacomijn and Micki met in Mexico as artists-in residence. After realizing they had a mutual attraction to the nature of death and experiencing firsthand the beauty and all-embracing Dia De Los Muertos, they should collaborate.<\/p>\n

In 2009, a well-received series of installations called \u201cOrigin-Oorsprong\u201d were placed in the Netherlands-where Jacomijn calls home. \u201cOrigin-Oorsprong\u201d was based on Pagan burial rituals native to the culture in the Netherlands pre-Christianity. They are now placing a second installation with the gracious cooperation of Lone Fir cemetery- aptly named \u201cStill\u201d.<\/p>\n

On October 1st, there will be a sculpture of fairy-tale proportions built of a crystallized sugar solution on the cemetery grounds. \u201cStill\u201d invites the public to come celebrate the beauty of life and its inevitable process; the edible sugary installation will be slowly dismantled by people who want to take a piece of this art with them. Eat it, shrine it or do with it as you please, the rest will be a natural, symbolic disintegration into the soil and vegetation-the sweetness of life dissolving into the earth to shapeshift into evidence of life repeating itself into a subtle eternal fractal of gentle beauty.<\/p>\n

The human experience of this installation is a launching platform for Alicia Blue Gallery\u2019s full transition to an alternative art space. \u201cStill\u201d will be the trailhead of a manifold series of non-traditional experiential shows with the freedom to display more complex aesthetics and ideas that eliminate the necessity of a brick-and mortar space. Keep tuned into ABG\u2019s website for new shows and excellent visual blog updates on more amazing artists, documentaries and exhibitions.<\/p>\n
