Christine Brandt | Gallery Night

The Dead Shall Seize The Living: new work by Christine Brandt
GALLERY NIGHT RECEPTION | JULY 25, 5P-9P
on view through August 30, 2008

Come by and see the new show this GALLERY NIGHT for some ice cold PBR and some of Comet Café’s wonderful pie and coffee. We look forward to you stopping by.

Our walls are filled with the work of Christine Brandt. The Los Angeles printmaker gives us a glimpse into a world of art & horror with The Dead Shall Seize The Living. This collection of prints, artist books and collage deal with the roles of women, Craft, Marxism and how they all relate to modern horror films. Of course, nothing is as simple as it sounds. The work deals with the many layers of sexuality, gender and society as a whole neatly wrapped up into some good art. Mark your calendars to swing by the gallery for this exciting show.

Work

I have had a few conversations lately about being a working artist. In some form or another we all have to do one job or another to feed the art-making beast. The lucky ones find a balance of commissions or teaching or some other field directly related to the art they pursue. Others of us tend to find work not related to our fields of passion. One way or another, we survive and get the work done, the bills paid and the art made. I have decided to make a list of every job I have ever had in the hope to find some pattern there.
