'Raw, Concrete'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
The Brutalist Movement of the 1950s-1980s got its name in part from the French phrase béton brut—”raw concrete”. It inspired artists and architects to create works that solved societal ills: income inequality, housing and food shortages, and political instability in the wake of two world wars. Their achievements still sing through the decades in the forms of public housing design, modular furniture, and bold, legible typefaces. Adornment was eschewed, but beauty was not...the woodgrain texture of plywood formwork is still visibly embedded in concrete surfaces, rust is allowed to express its nature, glass is not just a window but a portal uniting inside and outside, and paint is applied with no intention of illusion. February’s call invited artists to create works influenced by Brutalism, showing us pure materials, utility and economy, and a message—either literal or implied—that what the world needs now is authenticity, raw and concrete.

Presented by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College Colorado Springs, CO

'Whispers of the Wild'
Presented by Commonwheel Artists Co-op at Commonwheel Artists Co-op Manitou Springs, CO
Whispers of the Wild Featured Guest Artists: Daniel Logan Daniel began his artist career shortly after ending his time in the Air Force. He started by going to art school and earned his degree in Illustration which quickly gained him an appreciation for all styles of art. This appreciation turned into an eclectic love of painting in multiple styles. His paintings often display animals but he’s not afraid to venture into any subject, but one thing each of Daniel’s paintings does have is a unique story to tell. Web: https://daloartdesign.square.site/ IG:@daloartdesign https://www.instagram.com/daloartdesign/ Barry Greff Barry Steven Greff, (born Brooklyn, NY, 1957), was exposed to travel and photography as a child on family vacations. He began shooting underwater then above and was first published in magazines in the 1990s. After decades of honing his craft, his work has been widely published, exhibited and collected throughout the U. S. and Internationally. It has received numerous Fine Art Photography Awards (i.e..

'Solastalgic Archive'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Conceived by artist Nina Elder, the Solastalgic Archive holds materials that contextualize and give breadth to the experience of living and making in this time of accelerated change. The evolving archive of objects, images, and conceptual actions collects ephemera of memory, creation, forgetting, destruction, preciousness and transience offered by contributors. It is an evolving, changing, temporal entity that will continue to grow as it is enriched by additions connected to each host venue. Beginning in 2019 with more than 40 artists, and continuing to grow throughout it’s many showings, Elder invites fellow climate conscious artists, scholars and public intellectuals, as well as farmers, spiritual practitioners, indigenous leaders, and activists to contribute something that represents the “solastalgic”. Much like the practicalities of a traditional time capsule, each submission has had only one physical requirement: it must fit in a medium flat rate USPS postal box; boxes in which the exhibition’s objects continue to be carefully stored and moved from venue to venue. The Solastalgic Archive holds contributions from a vast array of people, each asked to consider what connects them to the passage time. Unlike other museum collections, the Solastalgic Archive holds deeply personal items as well as things that change or disappear over time. Harnessing solastalgia as the archives’ organizing principle, the collections exemplify transformation rather than permanence, fleeting relationships rather than immutable. By allowing emotions and ephemerality to displace institutional indifference and contrived eternities, this space enlivens the passage of time. Installed in GOCA’s Project Space, the Solastalgic Archive will evolve over the course of the exhibition…
