Luv in Art featuring Kyle Lind launches Saturday Luv in Art, a local compa- ny promoting emerging artists, is hosting a free open- ing for their private museum and mobile art gallery this Saturday, July 16, in the quaint town of Alsea, Ore. The event, being held on a 310-acre property in the Siuslaw National Forest, will feature the work of renowned artist Kyle Lind of Florence, the world’s brightest laser beam, live music, Tyee Wine Cellars, a selection of food, an art auction presented by Eugene Magazine, free camp- ing and more. The Luv in Art Museum is the brainchild of Dale Cripps, whom after being so moved by Lind’s work decided to transform a large portion of his estate into a museum ded- icated to Lind and eventually other inspiring artists. It fea- tures an entire building designed after the artists “Home Series” that houses many of his works. Also on display will be Lind’s 9-by-14-foot drawing “Cartoone in the Interior of an Atom,” which took Lind over 30 years to complete. Additionally, an entire wing of Cripps’ estate houses the rest of the collection. The mobile art gallery, which will debut at this year’s Art and the Vineyard in Eugene, consists of 40 4-foot- by-8-foot frames with hard- wood panels that can be arranged in many orienta- tions. Also included is a 20- foot enclosed trailer fully fin- ished to fine art gallery stan- dards. The panels will feature a handsome selection of large format prints in the form of blankets and tapestries, while the trailer will house signed and numbered prints and orig- inals. Lind, 74, was featured in Eugene Magazine and Eugene Weekly and is known as the Father of Process Art, an artistic method in which the end result is not necessarily the focus of the artist. Rather the image becomes what it is intended to be over time, nat- urally. He utilizes intense meditation and yoga to pro- duce images sometimes 30 or more years in the making. Lind is known for his involvement during the Californian 1960s love move- ment alongside idols such as Frank Zappa, Timothy Leary, Salvador Dali and Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers). His involvement with these peo- ple is chronicled is his life’s work, “God Art Me Fun,” a massive coffee table book. The book will also available at Luv in Art. Nu-Salt Laser will be pro- viding the world’s brightest laser beam which will be piercing through the night sky acting as a beacon, leading the way to the event. It is six times more visible than the brightest ordinary searchlight and can be seen from neigh- boring cities. For more information on the event, visit www.luvinart.org.
