June 13, 2013 > Foreclosed Dreams at Yellow Peril
In David H. Wells’ Foreclosed Dreams at Providence’s Yellow Peril Gallery, we see the material residue of dreams deferred, if not entirely scuffed out. The photographs, presenting a kind of archeology of the recent past, document houses in limbo, interior spaces gone to seed. Read more »
June 12, 2013 > Editor's Pick: 'im propia', an exhibition of video, performance, photography, and installation work by Raquel Paiewonsky
“I have always been interested in the body as a vessel capable of containing our life experiences within itself, sometimes in mysterious and subtle ways, other times more forceful,” says artist Raquel Paiewonksy. Read more »

May 23, 2013 > 'Flushing the System' S.W. Dinge at Yellow Peril Gallery through June 16
A little over a year ago, I decided I wanted to profile an east side artist for East Side Monthly. I wasn’t looking for something traditional or commercial, I was hoping to profile someone whose work was exciting and fresh. I found that in the live/work space of S.W. Dinge. Read more »

April 9, 2013 > The art of lust and life: ‘Reverse Cowgirl’ at Yellow Peril Gallery
If Batman’s dark latex costume-armor actually indicated his dark sexual appetites, Curtis Aric’s Fluffer might be the motorcycle he’d ride — or at least keep in the Batcave for quiet kinky nights in. It can’t actually roll anywhere, but when you plug in the motor, the frame sitting between two-foot-wide racing car tires becomes one monster vibrator. There’s something both awesome and kind of unsettling about the machine. Read more »
April 2, 2013 > FLUSHING THE SYSTEM by S.W. Dinge

March 15, 2013 > Bringing History to Life
One Friday last month, a lively crowd gathered at the Providence Athenaeum on Benefit Street. Sipping wine and sherry, nibbling fresh fruit and spinach squares, they mingled and chatted. Then, in a buzz of excitement, they sat around café tables to watch three erudite lecturers shed light on a shocking art show, a scandalous ballet and a groundbreaking novel – from 1913. Read more »
March 13, 2013 > ‘The Conditions Were Just Right’ at World’s Fair
‘Navigation Paintings’, curated by Marcel McVay at Yellow Peril Gallery (60 Valley St, Providence, through March 17), features the work of Michael Childress of Amherst, Massachusetts.

February 2013 > Interview: VANISH by Maralie
Providence-based artist Maralie works within the rich and ever-changing borders of human identity within a technologically saturated society. Though this is by no means uncharted territory, Maralie brings with her a colorful background in performance that lends itself to a refreshing perspective on our simultaneous relationships to our bodies and our information-saturated, technological surroundings. Her work, whether photography, video or performance, asks us to examine our saturated and compressed techno-social relationships. Read more »

January 16, 2013 > 'Vanish', a collection of multi-media photography, video, and installation by Maralie
In ‘Vanish’, the Providence-based artist known as Maralie strives to “bring us closer to the unseen,” say the folks at the Yellow Peril Gallery, 60 Valley St #5, Providence.

December 19, 2012 > Gage Prentiss at Yellow Peril Gallery
Art openings in December are difficult to attend and hold for a simple reason, “other obligations.” In the face of the additional responsibilities put on many around this time of year, there are still a few who trudge on, decide to not take this month off, and still show original work instead of leftovers from their inventory for some holiday sale.

October 21, 2012 > Quintin Rivera Toro, 'Business As Usual', and Flynn Grinnan, 'Fabric Flesh', at Yellow Peril Gallery in Providence
Traditionally, sculpture has an implied negative. Before 3-D printing, reproducing anything in any material required a mold of some kind, and even the historic craft of marble carving employed positive casts from negative molds. Read more »
October 18, 2012 > Gas Tank on Empty
I have been putting off my post on Flynn Grinnan’s latest exhibition over at Yellow Peril NOT because it isn’t good, but because I’m starting to feel some bias, which I should completely disregard because I’m willing to stand up in the middle of a crowded room and say that Flynn is one of Providence’s great new talents.

28 August 2012 > James Starkman’s ‘Let Go’ at Yellow Peril
Parkour is a French term for running around the city like awesome, crazy yahoos who let no obstacle stand in their way. YouTube videos show David Belle, who is credited with inventing the activity around Paris in the 1990s, leaping across rooftops, flipping upside-down, swinging with the poise of a monkey, and ricocheting about like some impossible/reckless video game character with a million extra lives to burn.

16 August 2012 > Editor's Pick: 'Table Fights 2012'
As we’ve noted, thousands of press releases have crossed the 8 Days desk in the last three centuries, but this is the first time we’ve seen the phrase “furniture performance art event.” Said event is Table Fights 2012, which features “fully automated, remote-controlled” tables that face off for “ultimate supremacy in a splinter-thirsty showdown of furniture mayhem.” The brilliant diversion was hatched in 2007 by three grad students in RISD’s Furniture Design program; bouts have taken place in New York, Boston, and at RISD.

09 August 2012 > Editor's Pick: 'Let Go: Moment in Movement'
Curtis Mayfield wrote the theme song for parkour artists: “I Gotta Keep On Moving.“ Parkour — aka l’art du dé placement or freerunning — originated in France; “it involved training to overcome any obstacle within one’s path by adapting one’s movements to the environment. Simply put, Parkour is getting from point A to B in the shortest amount of time possible.” Read more »

26 June 2012 > Natalie Gruppuso’s ‘Love and Equality’ at Yellow Peril
When the Massachusetts Supreme Court approved gay marriage, I covered one of the first gay weddings there as a reporter in 2004. What sticks in my mind is not the fairy tale two-groom wedding itself, but going to probate court with the couple beforehand to get the regular marriage license waiting period waived so they could wed that very day. Probate court is mainly wills and divorce — lots of divorce. The clerks in this usually gloomy court were giddy for once to be part of this joyous, historic, and still controversial occasion. It felt like the climactic lead-up to a happily ever after. Read more »
20 June 2012 > Love & Equality at Yellow Peril Gallery

Seen everyday in structural forms, steel hides its own materiality behind a symbol of strength. Rodrigo Nava’s VISIBLE FORCE, at one time constructed and visually solid objects, hold within them the moment of ignition – the very process that bloated and altered one of our most familiar materials.

Brooklyn artist Linda Nagaoka invents her own dreamy doodly world in fine-lined marker drawings in her exhibit “Love Lands” at Yellow Peril Gallery (60 Valley Street, Providence, through June 10).

21 April 2012 > BODY PRESENCE at Yellow Peril Gallery
Yesterday after I left my day job, I had my sights set on visiting the new exhibit at Yellow Peril over in Olneyville. I avoided another opening, lately they just seem to be more stressful and do you get to really see the work anyway in a crowded room? I pulled in and trotted up to the door on the left to find it was locked. When I peeked into the window, I immediately smiled. The show is curated to perfection, full but not crowded. I could look down and see an exhibition list and wall labels were near each body of work that I could see, brownie points already. Slightly discouraged, I headed back to my car and turned back to the locked doors with sentiment and only now to see that the door on the right side of the space was ajar. I did an abrupt about face and headed back. When I walked in, to my pleasant surprise, all the right people were there, the most important being Flynn Grinnan, the artist himself. Read more »

27 March 2012 > ‘#Occupy’ at Yellow Peril; Roger Shimomura at RIC
The art world and the Occupy movement have a somewhat awkward relationship. Many artists have sympathized with Occupy’s call for greater economic equality and have participated in the protests and encampments, but the art world’s long disinterest in work that directly engages with politics beyond ethnic, gender, or sexual identity has left “fine” artists flatfooted.
