Stop by Saranac Art Projects for the opening reception on March 5 with new work by Posie Kalin & Emily Hawkins! Posie Kalin – Mirror Mind: A space where images and materials converge and dissipate, revealing a kind of physical fragility that engages viewers with a sense of emotional transformation through video, sculpture, and archival prints. Emily Hawkins – Kitchen Things: Arising in response to the increased domestic pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kitchen Things explores the complicated set of roles the artist plays in managing and balancing the life of her household during quarantine, including mother, cook, and teacher, among other roles. An honest look at the rigors and joys of domestic and emotional labor, the series questions both the ability and the responsibility to “do it all” and embraces the importance of finding clarity and space.

Visit Spokane Arts School Thursdays and Fridays in March to see a new show of work by landscape oil painter Owen McAuley! Artist Statement: My work is composed of places and things that, at a particular moment, strike me as evocative of particular emotions or ideas in my own psyche and perhaps that of others. I seek to identify and commemorate the elements that spur such feeling, and in doing so, to examine my own experience and that of humanity in general. I see analogous relationships between visual characteristics of certain places and the situations that compose human existence. I attempt to convey a sense of the vague longing for something just beyond the grasp of our consciousness that I believe influences all endeavors of humanity in ways unexamined or unacknowledged. I also enjoy using the occasional oblique reference to ideas from art history and world events, as well as to personal history, literature, movies, and music; these are usually oblique because they take shape in the process through means that are as dimly understood to myself as they may be to the viewer.

I am a DJ, turntablist, remixer, music producer, and visual artist. I first touched the turntables as a breakdancer at 11 years old, and in 1986 became the 1st DJ to mix for commercial radio in Spokane, Washington – at just 14 years old. As a turntablist, I won the 1993 Inland Northwest Battle of the DJ’s and began mixing with Tobin Costen on Spokane’s then only all rap show that same year. The following year I began mixing for music legend Nasty-Nes on Seattle’s KCMU Rap Attack until retiring from music in the mid-90’s. However, I picked up the needles in 2020 to reunite with Nasty-Nes for KFOX Nightbeat where I can be heard mixing every Sunday night from 9-11pm on RainierAvenueRadio.world. In 2020, I became the 1st Spokane DJ to mix on “Sway In The Morning” – the world’s #1 Hip-Hop radio show. My mixes consistently rank in the top 10 on Mixcloud’s Global charts – even hitting #1 on multiple charts – and after working with former Eazy E artist, Tairrie B, on her recent album, “Feminenergy,” I became her DJ/Remixer.
