The Pleasure Seekers
Chashama is pleased to present The Pleasure Seekers, an exhibition of work based on the quest for carnal delights that ooze with both sexuality and vitality, curated by artist, curator and writer Dan Halm.
What is a pleasure seeker in 2009? In a culture embroiled in war and facing economic distress, one tends to look for a way to escape worry and pain, hence the birth of a pleasure seeker. Hunting out hedonistic desires –sexual freedom, drugs, alcohol and the pursuit of free love – allows one to enjoy life and rediscover hope.
Artists including in the exhibition:
Baishian Bai, Michael Bilsborough, Andrew Criss, Eric Doeringer, Marianna Ellenberg, Karlos Carcamo, Patrick Giglio, George Harvey, Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo, Cesar Chavez Lechowick, Jesse Finley Reed, Chad States
Th exhibition runs until April 25, Wednesday-Saturday 12-6pm

Skin Trade
Chashama is pleased to present Skin Trade, an exhibition of work based on man’s relationship to animals as decorative trophies; the beauty of the natural world in an artificial setting; and our own arrogance in pertaining to the animal kingdom.
Why are we compelled to capture and preserve our killings? Is this man’s need to feel superior over the animal kingdom? Or is it a way to capture a moment in time, between hunter and prey? A way to celebrate one’s hunting accomplishments or simply a way to preserve what once roamed the Earth?
Featuring the work of Elaine Bradford, Simen Johan, Eric Lendl, Christian Siekmeier, Amy Stein and Kimberly Witham.
The exhibition runs from October 30 - November 22, 2008.

And So On... A Curatorial Project in Groups of 100
I got to thinking about if there is any correlation between inspiration and the network of artists who we choose to associate ourselves with. Which got me thinking about networking, which then reminded me of that old Breck shampoo TV commercial where "she told two friends, and so on and so on...". Hence the birth of this curatorial project.
Each artist selected to partake in this project invites two additional artists until we reach our core number of 100. Then the game starts all over again.
