CAROLYN SALAS
SANTA BARBARA CONTEMPORARY ARTS FORUM

Exhibitions on view: February 26 – April 22, 2012
Opening Reception: February 25, 6:30 - 8 pm

Flights From Wonder: Christopher Chiappa, Liz Craft, Martha Friedman, FriendsWithYou, Jon Pylypchuk, Carolyn Salas, Mindy Shapero, Shinique Smith, and Phoebe Washburn

Flights from Wonder transforms CAF into a series of engaging, hands-on, interactive installations that heighten the synergy between artists and audience, and challenge all ages to re-imagine their relationship to art. Christopher Chiappa, Liz Craft, Martha Friedman, FriendsWithYou, Jon Pylypchuk, Carolyn Salas, Mindy Shapero, Shinique Smith, and Phoebe Washburn, Flights from Wonder empowers audiences to think, play, and create, and rejects the myth that contemporary art is mystifying or elitist, demonstrating instead that art is an enriching and stimulating part of the human experience.

The Unseen: gonzo curation by Adela Leibowitz (New York)
The Unseen, gonzo curated by Adela Leibowitz from a crowdsouring project insighted by TAM, is an exhibition that focuses on the use of esoteric symbols and contemporary visual uses of what has been described as "magick" by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.

"Control disintegrates. Magic integrates.
The idea is to apply the cut-up principle to behavior.
The method is a contemporary, non-mystical interpretation of magik.
Thee aim is reclamation of self-determination, conscious and unconscious, to the Individual.
Thee result is to neutralize and challenge the essence of social control.
Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, London, 1987. Excerpt from Thee Psychick Bible

The term Gonzo, originating in relation to an article by Hunter S Thompson in 1970, can be used to describe any creative endeavor that privileges emotional responses, tone and style over facticity to achieve the flavor of something, rather than objectivity through factual information, for an edgier and more personal report. TAM crowdsourced the request for an innovative exhibition theme through social media and selected the proposal that we felt introduced a new idea from a new voice- Adela Leibowitz's the Unseen.
