The TREEHOUSE gallery would like to thank everyone that has visited and supported the gallery since its inception in 2001. We have had a great time bringing art and life to our little piece of downtown, but unfortunately we have run our course. C. Finleys new show, which opens November 10th, will be our last exhibition at 2345 E. Olympic Blvd. Please keep checking back to www.THGallery.com in the future to find out where a seed of the original TREEHOUSE may grow.
Sincerely,
The TREEHOUSE gallery
Drew Blood, Jeffery James Mohr, C. Finley, Tracy Powell, Sven Barth.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH 7PM
Finley’s new work is dealing with the aesthetics of entanglement. The artist draws lines, connecting her sense of self to the fortuitous implications of the American condition. These drawings and paintings suggest both the frustration and the inescapability of being in the fold of daily life, but they do so with reverence. “It looks like this to be here…”
Jeffrey James Mohr, curatorial director of Treehouse Gallery, presents new work in this solo exhibition, little stranger, a mixed media installation including silkscreen, sculpture, and shot gun shells.
The opening is November 15 from 5 to 7 pm
at XIT Gallery:
American InterContinental University, Los Angeles 12655 W. Jefferson Blvd. , Los Angeles 90066
We would like to thank everyone for coming out to the HOME SHOW on October 13th. We were really happy with the turn out. If you were unable to check out the show, please cruse over to our flickr page to look at some images of the work and feast your eyes on this bad boy.

FIRST UP: We got Dola B’s solo dance performance, Tuesday October 9th at 9pm.
If you have never been to one of Dola’s performances, you don’t know what your missing. Her first show was a real treat and I suggest you come by to check it out.
Then on Saturday the 13th of OCT we got a group show from the TREEHOUSE gallery resident artists.
This is going to be really fun. In addition to the art work from people who have lived and worked at the TREEHOUSE since its birth in 2001, Sven Barth AKA Svendaleza Rice will perform a one man “Hip-Hopera” at about 10pm. If you know Sven, you know this will be off the hook.
So there you have it, we are really turning things on for the fall schedule here at the gallery!
If you open the October 2007 Issue of Readymade magazine (readymademag.com) you can read about the history and future of the TREEHOUSE gallery. We have been really excited about the release of this issue, so here are a few photos to wet your appetite.
Dola Baroni will perform a new piece “Betwixt Draconids and New Moon” on Tuesday October 9 at 9pm. This new work will send Dola on her way to New York, where she will spend two months dancing and continuing her photography work. Please join us for a temporary farewell to our fiery new friend.
Red Lips, War Paint, Half a Horse
Treehouse gallery is pleased to announce the opening of J. Damron’s new installation; Red Lips, War Paint, Half a Horse. This mixed media installation includes two eleven foot drawings, a large kinetic sculpture, and other objects. This is J. Damron’s first solo show in Los Angeles, and Treehouse invites all to welcome this interesting artist to our community. Please join us Saturday October 20, 2007 @ 7pm.
Bio:
J.Damron lives and works in the high desert and the Sierra Nevada. He finished his graduate studies in the New Genres Department at the San Francisco Art Institute in May of 1998.
Currently J.Damron holds an assistant professorship at Sierra Nevada College at Lake Tahoe, a private liberal arts college. His work has been shown in galleries nationally.
What J.Damron says about this project:
Recently I have been considering the difference between a monster and a giant, the potential that lies between, the difficulty in the difference between chocolate and honey. My work has also been occupying a ground between personal ritual and play.
The objects, images and performance are not necessarily at the service of metaphor, and I can’t seem to abandon beauty in the presence of concept.
We just wanted to say thank you to everyone that came to the opening of Sarah Rossiter’s show at the TREEHOUSE on September 14th. We appreciate all the support and we are very thankful to Sarah for bringing such amazing work to the gallery.
Here are a few images of the work, and remember that if you are invited to visit the gallery at any time. If you would like to see the work in person please schedule a viewing with one of the TREEHOUSE resident artsits by emailing us HERE.
Thanks again to all who attended the opening!
Make sure to keep an eye on the TREEHOUSE fall schedule for upcoming shows. We are very excited about our full Fall season, and we hope to see you all here sometime soon.
