In the first post of 2013, I'm going to barrage all of you with exciting news and shows galore!<br />
<br />
First, I would like to thank The Journal of the <a href="http://www.arttherapy.org/" target="_blank">American Art Therapy Association</a> for featuring my painting, "Left," as the cover art in their latest issue.<br />

<br />
The piece focuses on the ambivalent implications of an empty hospital room (healing and returning home versus passing away), and was made during my time working at a children's hospital as an art therapy student intern. The issue itself focuses on Art Therapy Education.<br />
<br />
Additionally, my work "Pull" was selected for a certificate of merit in the Gallery category of the Illustration West 51 competition, through the <a href="http://si-la.org/" target="_blank">Society of Illustrators Los Angeles</a>.<br />

As always, I feel honored to be selected alongside other talented artists chosen by SILA.<br />
<br />
-----------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
In the following weeks, I will be taking part in two group shows and one solo show/artist talk. Here is information all all three of them, in order that the openings will occur:<br />
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>The Art Jamboree: "The Aura of Art"</b></h3>

<br />
The first show I'm involved in is a group showing through a Milwaukee event called <a href="http://www.artmilwaukee.com/art-jamboree.html" target="_blank">The Art Jamboree: "The Aura of Art"</a>, which takes place at The Loyalty Building at Hilton Garden Inn on Friday, January 25th. My work and the work of 6 other artists was selected from among 95 submissions to be included in the show. Additionally, two artists featured from the Coalition of Photographic Arts and Milwaukee Artist Resource Network, respectively, will show work as well. <br />
<br />
I am excited about all of my shows, but I must say that it has been a while since I have been this excited for an art opening. In addition to the the visual art, The Art Jamboree will feature live painting, acoustic performances from members of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, spoken word performances, a costume design display from the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and live dance performances from Danceworks and The Milwaukee Ballet. <br />
<br />
Please check out the incredibly exciting schedule at the <a href="http://www.artmilwaukee.com/art-jamboree.html" target="_blank">Art Milwaukee Website</a> or view the<a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/348963228544498/permalink/348963231877831/" target="_blank"> Facebook Event page for the show</a>. The event is FREE to the public, with a cash bar, art raffles, and other various prizes. You are literally going to be bombarded with visual, performance, and musical art all night long. And finally, it is important to note that the opening takes place on my birthday, so I'm going to be pretending that the entire event was carefully crafted by creative minds in Milwaukee to celebrate the anniversary of my birth.<br />
<br />

Pfister Artist-In-Residence: The Finalists Collection<br />
Exhibition Opening<br />
Friday, September 14th, 2012<br />
5:30-8:30pm<br />
Sharon Lynn Wilson Center for the Arts<br />
19805 W. Capitol Drive, Brookfield, WI <br />
<br />
This exhibition features a plethora of amazing artwork from 16 Milwaukee-area and national artists. You can find out more about the Pfister Artist-in-Residence program <a href="http://www.thepfisterhotel.com/artist-in-residence/" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
In addition, the opening will feature live music by the Pfister Pianist, Dr. Jeffrey Hollander, as well as hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. It is sure to be an exciting and fancy occasion, as you can see from the the way I used the phrase "hors d'oeuvres" instead of "snacks". <br />
<br />
I will be in attendance for the opening, so be sure to come say hello!<br />
<br />

<br />
In other news, in March <a href="http://katepfeiffer.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-work-livestrong-community-impact.html" target="_blank">I posted</a> about a grant available from the <a href="http://www.livestrong.org/" target="_blank">LIVESTRONG</a> foundation for a hospital Artist-in-Residence program. Thanks to votes from supporters, the Oncology department at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois, received funding to support this program.<br />
<br />
In the wake of this funding, I have been hired as the
Artist-in-Residence for Advocate Lutheran General Hospital/Children's
Hospital for one year. I am thrilled to be involved in such an amazing
and unique program.<br />
<br />
<u><b>I want to sincerely thank everyone who participated in the voting.</b></u> Supporting the arts in hospital settings can provide patients with comfort, entertainment, distraction, and an outlet for exploration and expression of their emotions. <br />
<br />
<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
In other-other news, I am embarking on a series of new paintings for a solo exhibition in February of 2013. Be sure to check in for sneak peaks and photos of work in-progress.<br />
<br />
See you Friday! (Come to the opening!) <br />

This post was long overdue and I'm looking forward to getting back in the studio. Also sleep. I am looking forward to more sleep.<br />
<br />
Be sure to go outside and enjoy all of this glorious summery weather! <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">In other news, in my secret life as an art therapy intern, I have been working at Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital in Park Ridge, IL. This hospital is currently in the running to receive a LIVESTRONG Community Impact Project Grant to fund an <a href="http://www.thecreativecenter.org/tcc/programs/hospital/">artist-in-residence program</a> for the adult and child oncology programs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In order to receive the grant, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital must
receive community support in the form of online votes. If you can,
please take a moment to read about the <a href="http://vote.livestrong.org/vote2012/regions/4/105-the-oncology-program/">The Oncology Program at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital/Lutheran General Children’s Hospital</a></span><span style="font-size: small;"> and cast your vote! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*(My enthusiasm is misleading: You only get one vote, not three).</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As an art therapy intern working in the pediatric unit of this hospital, I have seen first-hand how art can serve as a way to help people take charge of their illness and treatment, and can provide an outlet for patients to work through difficulties, tell stories, and express hopes and fears during their journey with illness and recovery. My work as an intern at Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital ends in May of this year, and I believe patients at this hospital would benefit tremendously from this LIVESTRONG grant by receiving continued access to art during their hospitalization and treatment.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Finally, to conclude this post, a painting/collage of Zooey Deschanel that I created out of whatever the opposite of adoration is. Subsequently my roommate, not picking up on the disapproving tone, hung it in our living room, out of sincere adoration. Enjoy!</span><br />

Early in 2010, I was contacted by Lance Taylor, a teacher from a high school located in an outer suburb of Perth, Western Australia. He had seen my artwork in Empty magazine and asked if I would be willing to be interviewed as a contemporary working artist by his senior art class as part of their research. Of course, I was excited to help.<br />
<br />
As a result of the project, some of the students chose to create artwork inspired by my Clutter series, in which they portrayed themselves in their own environment, surrounded by their personal possessions. Below is one of those pieces, created by then-senior, Fraser Nightingale:<br />
<br />

<br />
It is clear that a great deal of work was put into this beautifully-rendered art piece, and I thank Fraser for agreeing to let me post it. I especially love the shoe, helmet, and the striped bedsheets. And I'm always a sucker for electronics cords.<br />
<br />
I am honored to have been interviewed by the class and ecstatic to have been inspiration for the students' art practice!<br />

In other news, one of my new paintings will be in an art exhibition, "Art of Connection". All are welcome to attend the opening on Friday, December 9th, from 4:30-7pm.<br />
<br />
The exhibition features the work of <span class="text_exposed_show"> students graduating from the Masters of Art in Art Therapy program at
the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), and/or the people they work
with at their internship sites. </span><br />

For now, however, I will provide an extremely low-quality preview taken from my seat on the floor, with the needle-sized camera on my computer:</div>

<br />I'm excited to announce the opening of my first solo art show at Gallery 2622. The show will feature never-before shown work, including all of my latest paintings and sketches and some work that has not yet been shown online. I will be there for the entire opening and would love if you could drop in to see my work and say hello.

<br />
<br />Additionally, for those of you who read this blog and also live in Germany (hundreds of you, no doubt), the album cover I submitted to the AMOS Showtime project will be shown alongside hundreds of others at the museum <a href="http://www.beatlemania-hamburg.com/">Beatlemania</a>, located in Hamburg, from September 16th through December 31st. Address and contact information for the museum is located on Beatlemania's very German website, which I won't pretend to be able to read, despite my German genes and love for sauerkraut.
<br />
<br />If you are unable to attend the show in Hamburg, all available album artwork (with Amos' album inside, of course) are available for your viewing pleasure and potential purchase at the <a href="http://www.amos-showtime.com/gallery/">AMOS Showtime Gallery</a> web page. My particular piece is located <a href="http://www.amos-showtime.com/gallery/2010/08/22/kate-pfeiffer/">here</a>. My piece's price will also be reduced from 450 Euros to 279 Euros as soon as the website is updated within the next week or two (hooray!)
<br />
<br />I hope to see you at my solo show, and if you somehow attend my German show, shoot me an email and let me know how it went!

I have emailed the 5-year-old who owns the Barbies for consultation, and hope to get the name of the second Barbie from the left within the next few days. I also am proud to say that, while the aforementioned 5-year-old came up with most of the Barbies' names, I named Cindy myself. Also, Cindy is a princess.<br /><br />I have a few other paintings in the works so you can look forward to more updates soon. In the mean time I recommend you go play outside, because summer is awesome.Kate Pfeifferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05037646482799002416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944027360668617744.post-61323292561107873402011-03-04T22:40:00.000-06:002011-03-04T23:08:21.470-06:00Poets & Artists MagazineThe new issue of Poets & Artists is available to view and buy online, and I am lucky enough to be featured on pages 16-19.

More info on the residence is listed on the previous blog post, but here are some voting reminders:<br /><br />Text "Kate" to 22333 (do it right now!)<br />Vote Online: <a href="http://www.thepfisterhotel.com/artistinresidencegallery/">http://www.thepfisterhotel.com/artistinresidencegallery/</a><br />Twitter: Write your vote for Kate with #<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ArtistinResidence</span> in the tweet<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Facebook</span>: "Like" <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/InterContinentalMilwaukee"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">InterContinental</span> Milwaukee</a>, then write your vote for Kate on their wall<br /><br />For those of you in Milwaukee, you can put ballots into a box at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Gallerie</span> M within the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">InterContinental</span> in Milwaukee, or you can vote at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Pfister</span> Hotel outside of the studio of the current Artist-in-Residence.<br /><br />Another good way to vote is to pretend you forgot your cell phone, then ask people around you to borrow theirs so that you can text-vote for me using their phone as well.<br /><br />I'm now going to eat roasted Chestnuts and watch movies to prepare myself for the epic snowstorm about to pound the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">midwest</span>. For those of you in my area of the country, I recommend focusing not on how you'll have to dig your car out from 4 feet of wind-blown snow tomorrow, but on how awesome it will be to go sledding when work/school is inevitably canceled.

Five Milwaukee-area artists and myself will be showing at Gallery M from January 21st through mid February, and each of us are hoping to be the 2011 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Pfister</span> Artist in Residence. While the final decision is made by a panel of judges, everyone has the ability to vote for his or her favorite artist.<br /><br />I highly recommend voting for me. I am my favorite candidate for the position.<br /><br />The opening reception will occur on Gallery Night, January 21st, from 5-9PM at Gallery M, located at the Intercontinental in Milwaukee. Come in, see some amazing art, and vote! In addition to art, there will be live music, appetizers, cocktails, and me in a dress, so come in and say hi!<br /><br />Apparently there is going to be a live-feed twitter and text voting, which means that I will probably have to give in to creating a Twitter account. It also hopefully means people will be able to vote even if they can't make the event. I will definitely keep you updated on how to vote as I get more information.<br /><br />You can find directions and more information about Gallery Night & Day <a href="http://www.historicthirdward.org/events/gallerynightparticipants.php">here</a>.

It's going to be an awesome time, so if you're in the Chicago area, make sure to stop by! The bar is open and there will be art demonstrations, not to mention the fabulous art of 20 Chicago area artists. The evening will start out pretty quiet, but later into the night there will be a DJ and much dancing.<br /><br />The show will be going from 7PM- 4AM, so stop in at any time tonight. Insomnia? Stop on by! Locked yourself out of your apartment at 1AM? We'll take you in!<br /><br />1113 W. Lawrence Ave<br />Chicago, IL 60640<br /><br />Special thanks to Juan Valdivia, who organized the show. It's his birthday week so make sure to sing him the birthday song when you see him at the show.<br /><br />In other news, I'm currently in a phase where I have a bunch paintings going at once, but none of them are finished enough to post.

Amos is a German musician/generally fascinating human being who is releasing a record this August. He and his team contacted 400+ international artists, sent them blank record sleeves, and asked them to design unique artwork inspired by the album.

I checked at least 12 times.<br /><br />The artwork will be shown in galleries throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland combined with the Amos concert tour in September. The work will be available to view and purchase- with Amos' record inside, of course- in an online gallery as well. I will update the blog with specific details as I get more information on dates. You can check out the Showtime blog at <a href="http://www.amos-showtime.com/newsroom/">www.amos-showtime.com</a> to see other submissions or go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMOS/103901512837">Amos' facebook page</a> to hear some of his rockin' jams.

So far I have no internet and no kitchen table, but other than getting shoved for walking too slow in the "L" station a few times, it's been going well.

That is, until this painting reaches a gallery or publication. Because there's no protecting the victim on an official gallery label.<br /><br />The piece is inspired in large part by the lifestyle and panache of my long-time friend, Andy Link. Slightly less importantly, the project also gave me an excuse to paint my favorite couch of all time, affectionately known by all as "The Rust Couch".

I was asked to paint a portrait of his father. Though there were many excellent sources to choose from, I was inspired by mid-twenties Mr. Ewart's general style and taste in sweaters.

I began this painting during my stay at the Vermont Studio Center. Unfortunately, 10 days into the residency, I contracted a case of mono, and spent the remainder of my stay in Vermont sleeping and unsuccessfully attempting to swallow. (This may or may not have been related to the jogs taken in 20-degree weather for the first few days at the residency).<br /><br />Upon recovery, I stashed the painting in my basement, to be worked on as soon I stopped inadvertently associating illness with working on the beast. I finally overcame my unfortunate classical conditioning, and here is the result:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1bwwZekMPD4PysqDnPLoW39hREYHK_Os74BDoWnwuHP58hfYTXINIeLOJ7sEhh2_sfHRFQLn2lOSXojSk_T70ms8UfTd23SrV2k3f7v1Zr0_XQJZKbn4C2mYLXH3THxOS-vR_MkagbU/s1600-h/behind.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426005844744763090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1bwwZekMPD4PysqDnPLoW39hREYHK_Os74BDoWnwuHP58hfYTXINIeLOJ7sEhh2_sfHRFQLn2lOSXojSk_T70ms8UfTd23SrV2k3f7v1Zr0_XQJZKbn4C2mYLXH3THxOS-vR_MkagbU/s400/behind.jpg" border="0" /></a> Behind<br />33" x 66"<br />Acrylic and graphite on paper<br /><br />I will update <a href="http://www.gallerykate.com/">my website</a> in the next few days with larger images.<br /><br />More updates to come soon- I've decided that the drawings I finished in December are going to become paintings I finish in January.Kate Pfeifferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05037646482799002416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944027360668617744.post-9339430467666163412009-12-20T19:22:00.000-06:002009-12-20T20:52:14.862-06:00Kate gets mail, learns to make an animated GIFAt long last, I have received a copy of Empty Magazine.

Be sure to stop by Caggio to check out the work of Michael Imes, Tara Borger, and myself. Listen to some music, eat some cheese, look at some art. I will be there in a dress and (possibly) heels. I am planning on having 9 works up for sale/ your viewing pleasure. High-fives are free.<br /><br />Here are some works being shown for the first time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWTbHnyTFboOZqHwSNYuKftqTG2P0YbXikrRvHEhYue5oBVITMNa53PoGR7ZW3E70nv_2kc4G9gtZoxG8nheHnpLCNQmHgxqMLntZCPkkotbPFPUmvvMEGUKwiDnw1JRH_Cvp5rrlMUb0/s1600-h/hamer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWTbHnyTFboOZqHwSNYuKftqTG2P0YbXikrRvHEhYue5oBVITMNa53PoGR7ZW3E70nv_2kc4G9gtZoxG8nheHnpLCNQmHgxqMLntZCPkkotbPFPUmvvMEGUKwiDnw1JRH_Cvp5rrlMUb0/s400/hamer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391223974200999778" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggVSB5OqZZ3bQf2TM-yAWunhkFbDGNaLpPX10vzffRcdwGvp6Ukx1QRZz3uSNoyxCToSmcgiAO-dUE0TN0wTLN3wU00AYlHEtFmyik95rz3fDNQPu_U7Dvsfv1FloKcnqj57JF8zfi4_I/s1600-h/BombPop.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggVSB5OqZZ3bQf2TM-yAWunhkFbDGNaLpPX10vzffRcdwGvp6Ukx1QRZz3uSNoyxCToSmcgiAO-dUE0TN0wTLN3wU00AYlHEtFmyik95rz3fDNQPu_U7Dvsfv1FloKcnqj57JF8zfi4_I/s400/BombPop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391222052250331586" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRCk87jxryYvIM8nLfF6p9smLww2V9E1pIQ3dgmoRnpJ7sXKjM4wr1Wjvfldq0IiUgjHHw2UztJr1zdMagrlDS47ceGOwd3kGr826bsFk4nmnqtYSg_UvYHxZKgzEHhn_le6rCVQX3LAQ/s1600-h/joe_yaeger.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRCk87jxryYvIM8nLfF6p9smLww2V9E1pIQ3dgmoRnpJ7sXKjM4wr1Wjvfldq0IiUgjHHw2UztJr1zdMagrlDS47ceGOwd3kGr826bsFk4nmnqtYSg_UvYHxZKgzEHhn_le6rCVQX3LAQ/s400/joe_yaeger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391224752538737554" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Check out more at <a href="http://www.caggio.com"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Caggio's Website</span></a>.Kate Pfeifferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05037646482799002416noreply@blogger.com1
