March 26 - 27, 2022
From the organizers:
“The Gallery Formerly Known as Bill’s Junk is hosting “Everything Must Just Go With It” by artist Emily Sloan. This showing of recent works will open with a reception on Friday, March 25 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and remain on view Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm each day.
This pop up art show will feature new ceramic work created by Sloan. From Sloan: “Many of these works and small groupings are new and still very fresh and indeterminant. A former junk shop seems a suitable spot to look, wonder, recall and just talk “shop” about these objects.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Social sculptor Emily Sloan’s “recreational aesthetics” encompass performance, education, and visual arts. She works with a variety of materials including wood, clay, humor and dreams. Projects have included a faux burning house, funeral wakes for the undead, baptisms out of a pick-up truck, an art gallery in a refrigerator. She is the founding reverend of the controversial Southern Naptist Convention and in 2013 she established the Mystic Lyon art space in the Fifth Ward. She currently has an installation on view at The Orange Show as part of Entry Points: Site Specific Environmental Works by Six Contemporary Houston Artists.
ABOUT BILL’S JUNK:
Founded by artist Bill Davenport in 2008, the shop’s motto is: Art can be disappointing, but junk always exceeds your expectations. It can be cataloged as a store where high art, low craft, nature and salvage are reconciled under the umbrella of commerce. In the spring of 2022, the closure of its current storefront was decided upon.”
