Charles H. Scott Gallery Exhibitions

The Charles H. Scott Gallery presents Minor Pieces, an exhibition of two film works by Guido van der Werve: "Nummer zes: Steinway grand piano. Wake me up to go to sleep and all the colors of the rainbow" (2006) and "Nummer twaalf variations on a theme: The King’s Gambit accepted, the number of stars in the sky, and why a piano can’t be tuned or waiting for an earthquake" (2009).

A series of related photographs will also be included in the exhibition.

READ Books at the Charles H. Scott Gallery invites you to a reception for the launch of Stories in Reserve the first volume in a series of audio guide books published by Temporary Travel Office. US-based artists Lize Mogel and Ryan Griffis will be in attendance.

The series features original guided tours created by artists, activists, historians and storytellers that span from polemic narrative to experimental soundscape. Taking its title from 20th Century scholar Michel de Certeau’s “The Practice of Everyday Life”, the series will attempt to engage with “fragmentary and inward-turning histories, pasts that others are not allowed to read.”

Two celebrated contemporary poets, Eileen Myles and Lisa Robertson, will be reading selected works at READ Books at the Charles H. Scott Gallery.

Eileen Myles will read from her brand new book Inferno: A Poet’s Novel published by Or Books in New York. Lisa Robertson will read from her most recent book of poems R’s Boat published by the University of California Press earlier this year.

Eileen Myles is a New York-based poet, writer, and critic. She has been called “the rock star of modern poetry” by BUST Magazine and “a cult figure to a generation of post-punk female writer-performers” by the New York Times.

In conjunction with celebrations marking the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence and the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution, the Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Hot to Cold | Cold to Hot, an exhibition of contemporary Mexican artists. The exhibition features the work of Los Angeles-based Rubén Ortiz Torres, and Mexico City-based artists Thomas Glassford, Melanie Smith, and Gabriel de la Mora.

The work of these internationally recognized artists addresses concerns of the everyday, popular culture, urbanism, and the body. Although abstract and minimalist in nature the works reference complex issues of Mexican identity, place, and culture.

Visit READ Books to discuss publication strategies and have your items printed (B/W duplex printing), perfect bound (from 20 to 500 pages), and trimmed for reasonable fees! Publication Studio is an ongoing project of Portland, Oregon-based writers Matthew Stadler and Patricia No. It is an experiment in sustainable publication that prints and binds books on demand, creating original work with artists and writers. Publication Studio is a laboratory for publication in its fullest sense—not just the production of books, but the production of a public.

The Western Front, REV, and READ Books at the Charles H. Scott Gallery are pleased to present the launch of Recipes for an Encounter. The book takes its impetus from Kits for an Encounter, an earlier exhibition co-curated by Candice Hopkins and Marisa Jahn that explored artist-made “kits” designed to instigate an encounter. Recipes for an Encounter functions as both a curatorial extension of the exhibition and a catalyst for other encounters.
