has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

About me
Deborah Barlow (deborahbarlow)
Nature is everywhere in my work, but what compels me most is the natural world at the edges. The extremes are most provocative, such as the emptiness of a desert expanse or the intricate layering of a microscopic world view. It’s what isn’t obvious that keeps me looking, and I look without any desire to mimic or reproduce those marginal worlds. My paintings are not objects as much as they are a record of how to search—how to listen (aurally and visually) multi-dimensionally and how to respond to what I hear without fixing it in a representation, without imprisoning it in a picture. The complexity of the surface is a complexity of perceiving, synthesizing, and navigating a limitless world.
