December 2005 Catalog is an exhibit of work that engages with lists, enumerations, classifications, and categories, curated by the artist group GRR: Adriana Grant, Kristen Ramirez & Dan Rhoads. Twelve talented artists (including one artist team) from six different cities, Seattle to Beijing, are participating in this exhibit which includes photography, embroidery, watercolor, video, and installation. The diverse work in this show is connected by the theme catalog. Sometimes this cataloguing is done to better understand the components that make one thing whole, while other artists simply indulge their own compulsive need to bring order to their world. Through a wide range of compelling work, the artists in this exhibit show the diverse ways in which art work catalogs. The work ranges from delicate, yet playful embroidery pieces, like Allison Manch’s Jolene depicting the lyrics of Dolly Parton’s song in orange thread, to Rutherford Chang’s video of words in alphabetic order, clips spliced from a 2004 broadcast of the NBC Nightly News. Diane Jacob’s work is comprised entirely of human hair, rolled into balls which are then presented in a grid. Heather Hart’s installation is a set of artists’ faces, mapped out, connected by the words they use to describe their work. leneb (Hollywood,
California) is a filmmaker, writer and photographer whose work has screen
internationally. He earned his MFA from UCLA Film School this past June. His
documentary Growing Hope, Homeless Garden Projects was narrated by Harrison
Ford and broadcast nationally on PBS. Dawn Cerny
