Inspired by the Exquisite Corpse, a Surrealist strategy to create unexpected, collaborative artworks, the exhibition SECRET DRAWINGS features artworks created by invited artists for the presentation. Each artist has been issued a sheet of paper with marks to connect their work to that of a secret collaborator. The secret collaborators have been assigned a title as a springboard for creativity, which may connect their work, or may reference artworks by Surrealists.

TXT
James Harris Gallery
Seattle, WA
July 1 - August 20, 2010

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition entitled TXT. Each artist uses language to reflect on social, political, personal or experiential content. The works not only question speech filtered through semantics but also the graphics of popular media. They tread on both verbal and visual territory resonating on many different levels. Each artist’s work conflates the meaning of written messages by questioning the power and believability of words.

Exhibition: Birk, Discenza, Greene, Knoll, Robinson, Somerville, Taylor

Secret Drawings
June 19 - September 5, 2010
Palo Alto Art Center
1313 Newell Road
Palo Alto, CA

Inspired by a Surrealist strategy to create unexpected artworks, Secret Drawings features pieces created for the exhibition by invited artists who have been assigned a title and paired with a secret collaborator.

Blog: Walter Robinson

“Walter Robinson’s Sculpture Making Down to a Fine Art,” a blog entry about Walter Robinson:

“[he’s] a sculptor who like to poke holes in pop cultural icons any chance he gets, like this “Pyramid (Abu Gharib Minnies)” piece, featuring Disney’s favorite female vermin. Although we’re usually not too keen on artsy farsty language, we like this description of his work:
‘Walter Robinson creates sculptural installations that deliver slick candy coated indictments of popular culture, sometimes further emboldened with tactile resin coated surfaces, glitter and cheap gems.’”

Exhibition: Nina Katchadourian, Al Farrow, Walter Robinson, Christoph Draeger

“That’s All Folks: The Endless Clash between Reason and Destiny,” featuring artists Christoph Draeger, Walter Robinson, Al Farrow, Stephen Shanabrook, and Nina Katchadourian.

“The exhibition That's all Folks ! raises questions about the human condition, and the capacity of the individual to take control of his and everyone else's destiny and that of the planet... The aim of the exhibition is to remind us that a clear and objective understanding of the world and its terrible history is vital to our achieving a sense of the present and our avoiding the constant repetition of our eternal and devastating mistakes.”

ArtSlant review of Walter Robinson’s [sic] exhibition at Catharine Clark Gallery.

“A Candy Coated God and Other Strange Talismans,” by Jolene Torr:
“Myth, religion and advertising are all being used here to sell each other it seems. And the epic grandeur of America’s taste for objects and for packaging, for candy coating and glossiness is explored here.”

Two blogs featuring the current exhibitions at Catharine Clark Gallery, "[sic]" and "Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory"

-“Fake God donuts, crossword-shaped paintings with eye-hurting pastel colors, and gauges for unfortunate emotions are the stock in trade of Walter Robinson...Adam Chapman solos along with Robinson, with "Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory."

“For his current show, "[sic]," Walter Robinson makes sumptuously enameled sculptures that display an irresistibly light satirical touch: he's a Good Humor moralist. Robinson explores the misuse of language in American religion, politics, advertising, and modern art.”

Exhibition: Walter Robinson

Sheldon Museum of Art, Lincoln, Nebraska recently acquired two works from Walter Robinson’s Transport Series

“To that end, the spring purchase includes four strong examples of postmodern art - a pair of "signs" by Steve Lambert that incorporate advertising and irony and two paintings by Walter Robinson that take off on Mark Rothko, adding automobile emblems to the color fields.”
