SFMOMA SECA Art Award Nominee
I am honored to announce that I have been nominated for the 2012 SECA Art Award.
Since 1967, SFMOMA and its art interest group SECA (Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art) have honored Bay Area artists with the biennial SECA Art Award, which includes an SFMOMA exhibition, an accompanying catalogue, and a modest cash prize.
If selected, I will be proposing and installing an ambitious offsite project which will open in Fall 2013. I am excited to be included with the other talented SECA Nominees this year, and hope my project is chosen from this very competitive field.

One Week: Two Openings!
I am very pleased to announce two upcoming events this week featuring my work. The first is a reception for a large-scale chalk-line installation I recently completed for the second round of the Aldea Arts Program at Aldea Home. The event is at 890 Valencia Street this Thursday, March 22nd from 6-8pm.
I am also the subject of a solo show which is the culmination of my 6 month studio residency at Aggregate Space in Oakland. There will be an opening reception this Friday, March 23rd, from 6-10pm at 801 West Grand (at West Street, a few blocks from 19th Street BART) I have had the opportunity to fill Aggregate's entire gallery space with my work, and will also have my studio open for viewing. If you can't make it this Friday, there will also be an event during the Oakland Art Murmur, Friday April 6, 5-8pm.
I would very much love to see you at either or all events so that you can see what I've been up to for the past several months! Full details are below:
Ryan Jones | New Works
Opening Reception: March 23, 6-10pm
First Friday Event: April 6, 5-8pm
In association with his 6 month residency at Aggregate Space, we are pleased to devote a solo show to the work of Ryan Jones.
With Jones’ transmutational sculptures and installations, we can see carefully selected materials take on new meaning, but more importantly we become aware of a compelling commentary on the act of making.

Aldea Home is thrilled to present its second curated exhibition at its new 7000 sq ft home store at 890 Valencia Street. This group of contemporary artists were chosen and carefully situated within fully staged rooms in order to showcase ambitious art in ideal domestic spaces.
Derek Lynch’s geographic, architectural paintings are discerning reflections of San Francisco’s vibrant neighborhoods, and also reveal Aldea’s interest in local artists. Ryan Jones’ site-specific installation, Plumb Arc, made of contractor’s chalk, gently graces one of Aldea’s large walls. The performative act of rendering this distinguished work speaks to Jones’ fascination with found or readily available materials creating what he terms “unexpected moments of beauty.” Katie Shapiro’s quiet photographs from the series here & there bear witness to the California landscape. Also dealing with land, but from an arial, fantastic perspective are Natalia Nakazawa's hand finished 5-color letterpress prints created in collaboration with master printer Nicholas Hurd.
This group of featured artworks interact poignantly within a context similar to how art lives in actual homes. We hope to inspire our patrons to collect unique art pieces alongside home furnishings and design accents.
Aldea Home is a Mission-based home furnishing and design store specializing in modern organic and functional pieces for eclectic, urban spaces. The mission of Aldea Home is to provide an inviting in-store experience that inspires design within your own home and life.

ART BLOG ART BLOG is extremely pleased to announce the opening of Entanglement, curated by Regina Rex. This show is the third in a series of exhibitions ART BLOG ART BLOG is presenting at a temporary location in Chelsea, NY on the 11th floor of 508 West 26th St. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 24th from 6-9 p.m. in Chelsea, and will continue at Regina Rex from 9 p.m. -12 a.m. The exhibition runs through Saturday, July 9th. Open hours at ART BLOG ART BLOG are Wednesdays - Saturdays from Noon- 6p.m. and by appointment. Open hours at REGINA REX are Saturdays – Sundays from Noon- 6p.m. and by appointment.
Entanglement is an exhibition in two locations: the temporary site of ART BLOG ART BLOG at 508 W. 26th Street in Chelsea and REGINA REX at 1717 Troutman St. in Queens. Exploring simultaneity, symmetry and seriality, all ten artists are each presenting the same or closely related works in each space. Including sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, wall-drawing and video, the exhibition addresses the intrinsic and cosmic likeness of things made by any individual. Despite difference in context and subtle changes in form or scale, Entanglement acknowledges the entirety present within the piece.
Regina Rex is an artist-run exhibition space located on the border of Ridgewood, Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn. Through an inclusive collaborative structure, Regina Rex aims to build an exhibition context that is rigorous, cogent and driven by our engagement and dialogue with other artists. There are currently thirteen participating curators at Regina Rex.
Directions to Regina Rex: L train to Jefferson, exit, walking along Wyckoff to Troutman. Walk up (north) on Troutman two blocks, passing St. Nicholas and Cypress, to a large brick building on the left. Regina Rex is in suite #329.
