SCOOP IS CLOSING WITH THE LAST HOLIDAY EVENT 12/1/2011
Exhibition on view: December 2 - 17, 2011
Holiday Show Reception: Friday, December 16, 2011, 5:00 – 8:00 pm
For the past 2 1/2 years, SCOOP studios Contemporary Art Gallery has brought the Charleston Art Scene compelling exhibitions that often challenged the artist as well as all the visitors who were fortunate to walk through the doors. On Friday, December 16, 5-8 pm, SCOOP studios invites all their supporters, friends and family to celebrate the holidays with the artists. This will be SCOOP’s final show and the doors will close on Saturday, December 17 at 5 pm. While the art work is returned to the artists the following week, December 19 - 23, gallery hours will be by appointment only by calling 843.735.9014 or email colleen@scoopcontemporary.com.
The gallery has been able to sustain itself the past couple of years, but as art sales have declined, it has become increasingly difficult to reach our modest goals to maintain a permanent space. Many artists will move on to new galleries around town. The website http://scoopcontemporary.com will remain a virtual gallery for artists that do not move on to new exclusive representation. Future off premise events in non traditional spaces are a good possibility since SCOOP started as a “One Night Stand” in March 2009. We would like to thank all the press and loyal supporters that have helped us shake up the Charleston Art Scene.
Featured and resident artists included in the final SCOOP Group Show are Ben Timpson, Karen Ann Myers, Lisa Shimko, Bill Mead, Christopher Murphy, Kenton James, John Stango, Dorothy Netherland, Chad Haselden, John Morse, Austin Schulz, Stewart Young, Arthur Newman, Julio Cotto, William Goodman, Ryan Cronin, Scott Debus, Joel Parker, Steven Niccoll, Jesse Mead, Cyle Suesz, Karin Collins and Anne Trabue Watson Nelson.

Three-Dimensional Abstract Artist Christopher Murphy at the Byers Design Group 9/14/2010
Join featured artist Christopher Murphy of SCOOP studios, the Art Pimp Consultants, and the Byers Design Group on Wednesday, September 15th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. for the opening reception of Urban Perspectives, a new body of work by Christopher Murphy featuring abstract contemporary paintings incorporating found objects & architectural elements provided by the architects of Byers Design Group. This will be an opening reception for Murphy’s art featured at the Byers Design Group at 125 Spring Street in downtown Charleston. Delicious hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided by new restaurant the Black Bean Co, located at 116 Spring Street. All are welcome to this event.
Murphy’s abstract paintings on canvas are also three-dimensional works of art, as he imbeds various found objects into the actual paintings. Murphy has created the new work for Urban Perspectives using architectural blue prints and other paraphernalia in this series. "I have taken the various effects of the urban designer and incorporated them into my work to create a series I call "Urban Perspectives". Where I explore the urban landscape and how prevailing attitudes about living in the city are reshaping our environment. This latest series of paintings was inspired by a contribution of materials from Byers Design Group. It’s going to be really exciting to see my paintings hanging in their offices and conference room. This is the kind of space I always envisioned for my artwork." All works on display are for sale and he will be creating some new smaller pieces for this particular show.
“Murphy’s work is perfect for the modern look of the space,” says Olivia Pool of Art Pimp Consultants. “We have loved Christopher’s work for sometime. The mixed media elements, like text, old drawings, toy airplanes or lightbulbs that he incorporates into the paintings imbue them with humor and humanity. It will be interesting to see the dynamic that architectural remnants add to his engaging abstract work,” adds Stacy Huggins of Art Pimp Consultants.
“We began featuring local artists in our office last year as an opportunity to promote the working class creative culture and enhance our Cannonborough/Elliottborough District. Byers Design Group is pleased to feature Christopher’s artwork. We are excited to showcase his latest works of which include several pieces incorporating objects from our studio, blue prints and sketches from past projects. Our converted service station functions well as gallery exhibit space. Christopher’s abstract approach combines our professional body of work, created in our unique space, yielding a synergy of visual art and the art of space creation,” says Todd Richardson of Byers Design Group.
Murphy’s works can be seen and purchased on a regular basis at SCOOP studios, 57 ½ Broad Street, 843.577.3292, www.scoopcontemporary.com. The Byers Design Group is located at 125 Spring Street in downtown Charleston; visit the online at www.byersdesign.com or call 843.577.5703.

June art walk gets 'Diverse'
Thursday, June 3, 2010
There's nothing like having an Art Walk in the middle of Spoleto! Charlestonians overwhelmed? Not at all. It's a special Charleston-bred skill to somehow be able to attend everything.
Kevin E. Taylor's 'Diverse Chorus' at Scoop, 57 1/2 Broad St., 577-3292, www.scoopcontemporary.com
Charleston native Kevin E. Taylor moved to San Francisco a few years ago to spread his artistic wings. Having received national and international acclaim for his paintings, Taylor occasionally comes back to town to visit friends and family.

SCOOP is excited to host the first U.S. presentation of this ever-expanding collective featuring 28 American artists. The medians between the participating artists are diverse and offer a variety of styles and processes."

Chad Haselden just scratching the surface with his 'Attempt at Alchemy'
By Vikki Matsis, Special to The Post and Courier
Thursday, May 6, 2010
Etched onto a piece of copper canvas, there is a scroll of paper tied to a cluster of balloons. The title of the work is "Dear God" and will be one of the many new pieces featured Friday night at Scoop Studios for the opening reception of Chad Haselden's solo show, "Attempt at Alchemy."
Haselden creates his art by engraving, painting or drawing on copper and then applying different acids to create colorful chemical reactions. Torches, engravers, hammers, metal plating chemicals, paint, markers and etching salts are just some of the tools that Haselden uses.
See Chad Haselden's copper artwork at Scoop Studios on Friday.
He is currently working on metal menus for Fish Restaurant as well as collaborating with a carpenter to create a furniture fabrication project in addition to constantly producing new art. Haselden creates large-scale pieces that range from abstract to representational.
"My inspiration comes from all directions. Usually, whatever grabs my attention: nature, architecture, music, a word or a phrase, an expression on someone's face, a conversation with a stranger," he said.
Haselden's work is striking. The colors, the detail and the texture are stunning and inspiring.
"I feel as though I have only scratched the surface with this medium of copper. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve," he said.
Next Event: Solo Show "Attempt at Alchemy," Scoop Studios, 57 1/2 Broad St., Friday, 5-8 p.m., Free.
Education: Associate of Science, Greenville Tech; School of hard knocks.
Career: Artist/fabricator/aspiring alchemist.
Goal: Make a living making art.
Price Range: $200-$4,000
Where your artwork is featured locally: Scoop Studios; Fish, 442 King St.; Tasty Thai, 350 King St. View Website

Daily Serving talks about the Debus exhibit at SCOOP 9/22/2009

SCOOP article in Preview Magazine featuring Brian Bustos 7/9/2009
Last New Year's Eve, Colleen Deihl and Rebecca Powell bonded over local artist Bill Mead. This contemporary artist, who uses fruits and vegetables as the subject matter of his landscape paintings, embodied the same idea for these two ladies: a sector of the art world under-represented in the Charleston area.
Powell, who co-owns the gallery with Deihl, says they saw a marketing hole.
"Art in Charleston is usually more traditional, and we wanted to scoop up the younger, hipper crowd who weren't represented," she says.
And so came the name SCOOP Gallery.
Located at 57 1/2 Broad Street, SCOOP Gallery has already signed on numerous artists. Notables include Charles Williams, an artist who plays off of Charleston's traditional landscape style, but makes the bottom of the canvas appear as if it's melting; Karen Ann Myers, the executive director of Redux; and Ryan Cronin, an artist from New York who uses color and a sense of humor to approach contemporary issues.
The gallery's first solo show and reception, running from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, will feature Brian Bustos, a Charleston native.
After selling his first 15 paintings in Deihl and Powell's two independent shows, both affectionately dubbed "One Night Stand," Bustos has moved on to making one 9-foot by 9-foot mixed-media piece of art. On what is essentially brightly painted plywood, Bustos arranged 45 tiny boxes. All include original drawings in both the lid and bottom. The drawings, according to Bustos, have no rhyme or reason; he merely draws and writes "what comes to mind."
But the work of art itself was very intricately planned.
"I draw inspiration for my art mainly from songs — the lyrics, the music," Bustos says.
Based on the Tool song "Lateralus," a musical interpretation of the Fibonacci sequence, Bustos created his artistic version of the mathematical equation. The piece is painted in boxes and spirals, hence the name, "To Swing on the Spiral of Our Divinity and Still be a Human." Along with cut-out book pages and random word placement, Bustos also adds written word to his artwork by including original poetry.
When asked what sets him apart from other artists, Bustos explains that he has had no formal training. Of his peers at the gallery, his favorite is Ben Timpson. Timpson arranges found objects on minuscule slides and then blows them up to create a blurred image. Bustos liked the idea of the process.
Chad Haselden is another featured artist of the gallery with a unique artistic concept. By burning images into copper, Haselden takes a new approach towards floral design.
All artists in SCOOP Gallery do have unique processes, but their ideas merge when thanking Deihl and Powell for noticing the crack in Charleston's art scene, and filling it. View Website

Events Promote Charleston Art Scene 6/28/2009
Events promote Charleston art scene
Special to The Post and Courier
Sunday, June 28, 2009
Written by Dottie Ashley
Lese Corrigan, owner of the Corrigan Gallery and president of the Charleston Fine Art Dealers Association, recently hosted a "get acquainted" luncheon at the Gibbes Museum of Art for about 25 individuals involved in the visual arts.
"Guests invited included those dealing directly with visual arts on the Charleston peninsula or who have projects that were a result of or have impacted the visual arts," explains Corrigan, a Charleston native who is a longtime artist. "My idea came out of realizing we are all working toward the same goals: supporting our growing art scene and the artists of the future."
Corrigan says the association has 14 gallery members in the downtown area, and one of its projects is raising money for art supplies for local schools.
The group, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, also is dedicated to making Charleston a national arts destination. The association will cooperate with an array of local chefs in a Palette & Palate Stroll on July 17 and will sponsor a Fine Art Weekend in November.
Among the guests enjoying sandwiches, fruit and "art talk" at the recent luncheon was John Hull, chairman of the art department in the College of Charleston's School of the Arts. Hull announced to the group that he and Marian Mazzone, chair of the college's arts history department, will team teach a course in the spring semester using the Gibbes' permanent collection as the topic.
"The course will be taught at the Gibbes, and rather than using slides in a classroom, we will show the students the actual items in the collection," Hull explains. "The idea came out of a discussion I had with (Gibbes Executive Director) Angela Mack."
Hull says plans are for the college to offer the course at least once a year, and a formal title for it will be developed as he and Mazzone examine the collection over the summer.
"As far as we know, this is the first time the college and the museum have collaborated in this way," says Marla Loftus, the Gibbes' communications director. "And it means the students (in the course) can visit the museum for free."
Representing the newly formed Charleston Arts Coalition was Vladia Jurcova Spencer, who said the all-volunteer organization aspires to unite the creative arts community, not solely the arts, through "advocacy, outreach, promotion and educational programming" to assist all creative people in the process of making a living from their talents. Spencer says the group's newest project is the Web site CharlestonCulture.com on which anyone may list their creative business for free. Information on the coalition may be found at www.charlestonartscoalition.com.
Also, galleries located in various areas are cooperating to benefit future artists.
A few days after the luncheon, Charleston Artist Guild Executive Director Bob Ingram said a benefit for the association will be sponsored Aug. 1 by the Wells Gallery, 125 Meeting St., and at the Somerby Gallery of Mount Pleasant, 3100 Tradition Circle. At the latter, artist Rick Reinert will demonstrate the creation of a still-life painting, and the gallery also will provide lunch. Proceeds from the $50 admission will go to the association, which will donate the money to local teachers in the form of gift certificates to art supply stores. For information, call Reinert at 345-1785.
"We hope to work more closely with Lese (Corrigan) and to promote (the Charleston Fine Art Dealers Association) with our 800 members," says Ingram.
He adds, "On Oct. 16-17, the Artist Guild will collaborate with the Redux Contemporary Arts Center, the (Charleston) Office of Cultural Affairs and the College of Charleston's art department on a pop art exhibition 'Pop Goes the Flamingo' to benefit (the guild's) various outreach programs."
The economy is always on the agenda with arts groups, and this year more than ever.
Ingram, who also serves as president of the French Quarter Gallery Association, says that on June 18 they voted to reduce the French Quarter Art Walks from six times a year to four times because the Cooper River Bridge Run in April and the Piccolo Spoleto art events reduce the traffic to the galleries. Art walks will be held the first Friday in October, December, March and May.
In related news, Ingram reports that the gallery association also voted to invite four more galleries to join the association, bringing membership to a total of 35 galleries. The new members are the Bernie Horton Gallery at 43 Broad St., the ML Gallery at 132 East Bay St., Atmah Ja's at 29 Broad St. and Scoop Studios at 57 1/2 Broad St.
Ingram notes that among the eight requirements for association membership, a gallery must be within the boundaries of the French Quarter District of the original walled city of Charleston with perimeters at Meeting, Tradd and South Market streets and the waterfront. View Website
Perhaps one of the best ways to visit the French Quarter is on an Art Walk night. Held monthly on the first Fridays of March-December, participants can visit all of the galleries along S. Market and Tradd streets downtown for free. The French Quarter Art Walks feature wine, food and, of course, a lot of art.
During the walk, be sure to check out Charleston's newest venue on Gallery Row - Scoop Studios, 57 1/2 Broad St. This new gallery by Colleen Deihl and Angel Powell feature the contemporary works of Bill Mead, Charles Williams, Christopher Murphy, Ben Timpson, Karen Ann Myers and others.

Two Girls and a One Night Stand 3/12/2009
BY OLIVIA POOL
Special to The Post and Courier
Thursday, March 12, 2009
Two former fine art gallery directors, Colleen Deihl and Rebecca Powell, have teamed up to produce Scoop, a series of art shows featuring new local and regional talent.
Scoop's first event, titled "One Night Stand," will take place this Saturday at the Rick Rhodes Studio, 1842 Belgrade Ave., West Ashley, just off U.S. Highway 17S and Wappoo Road. Guerrilla Cuisine is catering and Sweetwater Brewery is sponsoring the show with beer.
"One Night Stand" includes painters Bill and Jesse Mead, Greer Farrell and Janelle Riolo.
Beaufort native Bill Mead started his "Surrealist Fruit Landscapes" series while watching a fruit stand for a friend.
"To pass the time and sell more fruit, he made a sign to catch the eyes of the drivers. Instead of selling the fruit, he sold the sign and was convinced that he should paint more," recounts Deihl.
Isle of Palms native Jesse Mead, who started drawing comic strips of friends and their conversations in high school and quickly became popular with his peers. He is intrigued by the subject matter of the female figure and the reaction it often elicits from viewers.
Painter Greer Farrell relocated to Charleston from New York, where she had studied art at the Waldorf School and continued her painting into college, making murals on dorm walls.
"Her 10-piece painting will amaze you. You can take it apart and shift each painting to create a hidden word and a completely new painting. Each piece in this collection can be purchased separately," says Deihl.
Deihl describes Janelle Riolo as someone who puts energy and movement into every brush stroke of her paintings, creating a calming and spiritual release for the viewer. Riolo says, "Art, as well as life, should not be taken too seriously, it should just be appreciated for its beauty."
Her work was also recently featured at a Guerilla Cuisine event.
Powell and Deihl are thrilled to bring this collection to the Charleston public and are extremely excited about Scoop's inaugural event this weekend. For more information, call 224-6184. View Website

Visual arts events in Charleston can sometimes seem remarkably similar — the stars of the scene seem to be everywhere, and rightly so. They’ve got talent, and we’re very proud of them. But if you’re searching for something different, looking for the next big name, Scoop has got you covered. Former gallery owners Angel Powell and Colleen Deihl founded Scoop in an effort to highlight up-and-coming artists. They hosted their first event back in March, and their next one is this Saturday at Rick Rhodes Studio. Participating artists include SCAD-educated Charles Williams (who painted the image above), who’s going with a “City to City” theme for the show. He takes everyday scenes of familiar places and adds details to make the images extraordinary. Tina Christophillis won the Outstanding Student Award for Visual Arts at the College of Charleston in 2008. Austin Schultz is a conceptual artist who uses drips of pure color on panels, hand-sketched graphs, and relayed messages in his works. Other participating artists include Christopher Murphy, Ryan Cronin, Brian Bustos, Ishmael, Sean Weeks, Chad Haselden, Nick Gambo, and a “surprise” guest artist. Guerrilla Cuisine will be in the house with munchies, and drinks will be available from British Wine Merchants and SweetWater Brewery. Oculus Reparo (aka DJ D-Pad and DJ Arm Candy) will provide the tunes to help you dance it all off. —Erica Jackson, Charleston City Paper View Website
