Art Review : Chris Ashley: I Made This For You
I Made This For You reviewed by Timothy Buckwalter for KQED Arts & Culture:
Art Review : Chris Ashley: I Made This For YouI'm gonna say this right off, and then we can move on. Chris Ashley has created the grooviest advent calendar. Ever.
At some point that idea will hit you as you are wander through I Made This For You, Ashley's current online show at Marjorie Wood Gallery. I'm sure there is some element of intent at work here; Ashley's daily drawings are laid out in pop-up windows that represent the days of December.
When the calendar realization first hit me I lost interest in the work for a bit. It all seemed so hokey, and kinda hoary, but only for a brief while. Soon the serious joy that is the exhibition quickly lit back up.
And serious joy it is, in a hard edge sort of way.

"I Made This For You"
"I Made This For You" by Chris Ashley
on view, online only, now through January 31, 2008
at THE MARJORIE WOOD GALLERY...
http://www.marjoriewoodgallery.com/exhibitions/ashley
The Marjorie Wood Gallery is pleased to present San Francisco Bay Area artist Chris Ashley's "I Made This For You."
Chris Ashley uses HTML to make colored tables that are rendered as images by a web browser. He calls these "drawings," which he has made and posted daily on his blog. Although the images he makes are typically "abstract" they often reference and allude to the real world. He tries daily to make something that is beautiful, that is pictorially interesting, and that responds to or embodies an idea or subject.
Each day during December he will make one HTML drawing that will be posted online at the Marjorie Wood Gallery Website, where they will accumulate during the month. The completed set of drawings will be exhibited through the end of January.
The exhibition is accompanied by an essay, "Painting on Water," by Oakland artist George Lawson.
