Dear All Lovers of Like the Spice & http://likethespice.blogspot.com/,
We apologize from the bottom of our hearts for the lack of blog coverage of Arts Not Fair on http://likethespice.blogspot.com/. It seems that while maintaining a gallery website, and an "art fair" website, we here at Like the Spice Gallery neglected to update our very important gallery blog... for this we are truly sorry. We will never again be so forgetful. For now, accept our most sincerest apologies and please follow all the links to read about our latest project Arts Not Fair, then read all of the great press coverage we have received. Also, check out our Facebook page for opening images, as well as booth imagery. We promise we will have a proper wrap up of the show before the closing date, which by the way has been extended through Thursday, April 5th 2012.
Last but not least in this apology, please also read the new press release for our upcoming exhibition Cross-Reference: Hans + Gieves , a collaborative of Nashville-based painter Hans Schmitt-Matzen and Brooklyn-based photographer Gieves Anderson. We hope you will accept our apology and join us for the opening of Cross- Reference on April 20th, 2012 6:30- 9:00pm.
Love,
Like the Spice

Sutured Dinner
This past Friday, February 24th, Like the Spice Gallery had our monthly Artist Dinner. Catered by The Starving Artist Bakery, we enjoyed a phenomenal meal and great conversations with Joseph Heidecker, Robert Raphael, Vadis Turner, Richard Saja, and Zoe Sheehan Saldana, all of whom discuss the specific works on display in our February show, Sutured. The intimate meal had Saldana discussing the weaving practice she employed in her work "TEKLA", a piece that she later 'shop dropped' back onto the shelves of IKEA. Heidecker shared the different processes he uses when choosing which pieces he decides to work with. Raphael told us about his destructive yet contained ceramic process he created to produce 'Vertical Garden' and 'Folly.'
Sutured has had a great run, as we prepare for Arts Not Fair which opens the weekend of Armory March 9th - March 11th. Come back on March 9th as we turn Like the Spice Gallery into Arts Not Fair, our personal take on art fairs, with original work from Like the Spice artists Chino Amobi, Brian LaRossa, Allie Rex, Nicki Stager, Eric LoPresti, Jenny Morgan, Reuben Negron, Hans + Gieves, Matt Stone, and new comers Kim Holleman, Sylva Dean and Me, and more.
