Ursula Gullow, Detail of Artspace exhibition
After a month long residency during July, Ursula Gullow exhibition One’s a Crowd is on display in the Upfront Gallery. The exhibition is a collaborative community mural project, featuring over 100 self portraits from community members alongside work Ursula created during her time at Artspace.
The next step of the collaboration is for participants who created a self portrait to come by and pick up their portrait anytime September 5-30. As portraits are taken home, a mural painting by Ursula on the wall underneath will be revealed.
Gullow shares, “My background in sociology informs a visual investigation into the individual’s relationship to themselves, each other and their landscape. I emphasize the in-between spaces of story-telling and bodies in motion. I am conceptually swayed by political theory and popular media.”

Site-Specific Installation:
Tedd Anderson
Davie St Entrance
Tedd Anderson’s mural features the iconic “dry space” characters for which the artist is known set in a landscape filled with swirling, topographic lines, jagged edges, and meditative objects and shapes. A banner with a poem scrawled on its surface runs through the piece, bringing the imagery into a cohesive whole.
