Get ready for faux fur, glitter, and taxidermy: Kelly Boehmer’s “Embedded” is the next Boxed In/Break Out project at the Jepson Center.
For the uninitiated, Boxed In/Break Out is a yearly showcase of local talent organized by Telfair Museums’ Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Erin Dunn, with work chosen by a guest curator from out of town. It occupies a series of box windows along the Bernard Street façade of the Jepson Center, and routinely features cutting edge work by some of the areas most exciting young artists.
Dunn was first exposed to Boehmer’s work in late 2019 when she applied for a previous iteration of the project.
With collectible design, everything its creators imagine will ultimately inhabit real spaces in real people s lives.
Over the past few decades, collectible design has grown in popularity, combining collectors love for contemporary interior design, with the art world s commercial structure and support.
What originally began as an extension of fine art, is now a design domain all its own that is driving high prices for collectors and artists.
From April 28 through May 2, works by 18 collectible designers from around the world will be featured in a Savannah show by Unique Design X Group, the group’s first U.S. event.
Organizers say the show at Trustees Garden will present a specially curated selection of unique and limited edition design pieces.
“My first vivid art memory is of my grandmother and I,” said Calli Laundrè during this week’s episode of Art on the Air. “We were laying on the floor of her living room, and we were coloring in a coloring book. And I remember watching her make her marks, and they were so precise and so smooth. And I just wanted so badly to color like her.”
Many of us have had an experience like Calli’s, surrounded by a mishmash of art supplies, joyfully working away at pure creation, not a care in the world. I have said it countless times on my radio show (and really anytime and anywhere I can where it even vaguely makes sense) that when we’re four years old we’re all artists; life unteaches us to be creative.
