The set up and approach will be informal, analogous to a casual home-studio session.

Artist and musician Dani Tull has had solo exhibitions locally at Blum and Poe, Kim Light Gallery and Angstrom Gallery. As a musician he has collaborated and worked with a multitude of musicians including Marnie Weber, Eric Avery, Tom Watson, Raymond Pettibon, Brad Laner, Jad Fair, and Jim Shaw. Tull has also played in many bands including Polarbear, The Spirit Girls, Mythter and BoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown.  Recently he has composed original scores for 2 films by Jim Shaw. Dani Tull and Jim Shaw have also collaborated on an epic performance for the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum, Blast 6, and an upcoming performance in Turin Italy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Effective September 2008, High Energy Constructs and SolwayJones announce a newly formed partnership. With each gallery fully committed to its unique programming in contemporary art, the new joint venture plans to capitalize on the dynamism and doubling of opportunities that come with collaborative models. After six years in the Mid-Wilshire district, SolwayJones will share freshly expanded and re-designed quarters with High Energy Constructs at 990 North Hill Street #180. Expansion plans include a new 700 square foot office/viewing room adjacent to the main space. Each gallery will mount four to five exhibitions per year, alternating every six weeks, showcasing and representing the artists and projects independently.

Michael Solway and Angela Jones opened their first space – Gallery 2211 – in Lincoln Heights north of Chinatown in March 2001. In 2003, they changed the gallery’s name to SolwayJones and relocated to the Miracle Mile on Wilshire Boulevard. In their seven years of operation, they have presented sixty-five exhibitions and generated countless articles and reviews in the international art press.

High Energy Constructs was established in L.A.’s Chinatown in February 2006. In those two years the gallery’s director and co-founder, Michael Smoler, has presented 22 exhibitions and hosted over 100 events, readings and musical performances all true to the guiding principle of “high energy.”

For their inaugural exhibition, High Energy Constructs / SolwayJones will present “Cycling Apparati,” featuring work by Alice Aycock, Michael Decker, Marcel Duchamp, Jean-Pierre Hébert, David Horvitz, Branden Koch, Dana Maiden, Dane Picard and Alan Rath. “Cycling Apparati” addresses notions of lineage, time, movement and mechanism. The exhibition opens September 6 and will be on view through October 18, 2008.

Plans for upcoming exhibitions include a solo exhibition of new work by New York artist Branden Koch; a group exhibition titled “Hand”, featuring work by John Coplans, Bruce Nauman, Dane Picard, Hannah Wilke and others; a solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles artist Michael Decker and a solo exhibition of paintings and monoprints by Joan Snyder.
