GUSFORD | los angeles is pleased to announce that it will be representing American artists SuttonBeresCuller. John Sutton, Ben Beres and Zac Culler have been working collaboratively since graduating from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA in 2000, where they continue to live and work. Their site-specific installations, sculpture, performance and photography have been shown widely across the Pacific Northwest. In 2011, they received special recognition from the Seattle Art Museum, and were awarded a Creative Capital Grant in 2008 for their project Mini Mart City Park. The artists are currently in residency at MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, where they are working towards a show at Planthouse in New York, NY, opening December 2013.
SuttonBeresCuller’s first exhibition with GUSFORD | los angeles will open in January 2015.
Jentel Artist Residency Program lies in the Lower Piney Creek Valley with spectacular views over scoria topped hills to the majestic Big Horn Mountains. The fertile valley grows abundant hay and alfalfa for cattle. Few houses or signs of human existence dot the two mile stretch of Piney Creek that flows through the property. Many reservoirs provide oases for cattle, wildlife, and humans. The seven separate structures which form the residency village architecturally reflect the landscape and agricultural setting. Log faced cabins on the old Collins’ ranch serve as office, reception, conference area and writer studios, while a pole barn houses the visual artists studios. The sweeping lines of the Residency echo the surrounding mountains and hills and provide dynamic spaces and living quarters for the residents. The surrounds of the village are thoughtfully landscaped with a variety of trees and shrubs and an abundance of uproarious flowers. Sage and native grasses extend to the horizon and stretch across the foothills.
