Join us Sunday, August 18th at 6:00pm for a slide talk by our two featured artists:

Jeffrey Kriksciun was raised in various stops around the country; as an adult he was based out of San Francisco, then Portland Oregon, and for the last five years he has lived and worked in Stockholm, Sweden.  Working with any materials he comes across, Jeffrey is mostly self-taught, while taking art classes here and there along the way.  He is currently focusing on self-publishing drawing zines and tattooing.
Jeffrey arrived August 11th, and will be in residence until September 2nd.  Of his work he says:

"Life and everything that encompasses it, is weird.
Taboos, perversions, chaos, technology, simplicity, peace, love; it's hard to find an uninteresting subject.
Our thoughts are ancient. The way we process and interpret them remains a mystery. Primal instincts embedded in plastic.
Through my work, I try to bring to surface the absurdity in the mundane, highlighting ideas that make us who we are, good and bad. Creation as coping mechanism."

Rose Beerhorst was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Rose's parents Rick & Brenda Beerhorst are both visual artists and unschooled Rose along with her five younger siblings. Rose was involved in the family business of making and selling art. She started selling her own work to high-end toy stores at the age of 14, when her family lived a year in Brooklyn NY in 2005.

Rose chose to skip Art School and has been supporting herself through her art and craft since 2011. Notable sales include six rugs sold to Urban Outfitters, and a series of custom puppets for the National Czech & Slovak Museum. Rose and table-mate Rachel Mckay, have been voted "Best In Show" at the UICA Holiday Art Market consecutively 2011- 2012.  Rose sells her work on Etsy and locally under the name "Brave Hand Textiles"

She arrived at Shared Space on August 2nd, and will be in residence through the 26th.

Special Event: Public Lecture by Visiting Artists
Juliet Hinely and Michelle Marie Murphy
Sunday November 20th, 5pm

     Shared Space Studio is proud to present our first Artist-in-Residence, Michelle Marie Murphy.  Murphy will discuss her present body of work, Perceptual Beauty, as well as her plans for the five-day residency.  Juliet Hinley, a visiting artist from Ann Arbor, will also present her work and create an opportunity for us to discuss the two aritsts' work side by side.  Q&A and a reception will follow the slide lecture.
      Murphy is a contemporary artist using human perception and representation to create visual rhetoric.  Murphy's portfolio includes photography, painting, sculpture and video. The medium varies, but the questions remain the same...How do you perceive yourself? What are the current expectations? Do you/I/we fit into the "image" of success?         
     Michelle received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2004. Her artwork has been published and exhibited Internationally; she has shown work in Geneva Switzerland, San Francisco, Chicago, and the Midwest.   Michelle works as a Professional Photographer at NASA (Glenn Research Center), and as Faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Inspired by Op Art and third-wave feminism Murphy’s abstract photomontages combine geometric arrangements with slick photographs of beauty tools. 

    Juliet Hinely is an interdisciplinary artist exploring local identity and history through site-responsive projects and installations. She is inspired by roadside attractions, local traditions, and places with long or forgotten histories.     Juliet's work takes many forms including wallpaper, embroideries, audio-tours, parascopes, photography, and golden macaroni. She most enjoys showing in non-traditional art venues such as empty store fronts, old train stations, street corners, and has even had a show in a traveling art gallery in the back of van.  
    Juliet earned her BFA in Fiber at the Maryland Institute College of Art and is currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Michigan.
