Beer and Art Tour with Fox

Last Tuesday, we premiered the Beer and Art Tour in tandem with art historian and respected writer Noah Charney and Janez Skok, owner of Maister Brewery. We found that beer and art go perfectly together!

The next appointment will be Saturday, June 1! American artists Bodil and Larnie Fox, well-known visual and sound artists, will be guests. Exclusively for the Beer and Art Tour event, they are preparing a sound art installation that will be integrated into part of the exhibition.

The art team Bodil & Larnie Fox are visual and sound artists known for paintings, monumental bamboo sculpture, sound art, sound installations and performances. Their kinetic/sound sculpture and paintings have been shown in “one-person” shows at The Lab, The Richmond Art Center and The Randall Museum, and in numerous group shows and performances. They direct the Crank Ensemble, a fourteen-member group that performs on hand-cranked instruments built by the artists. They were commissioned to create and burn a 20 ft. bamboo and muslin windmill at Burning Man, and there they made and flew a bamboo airplane. Other collaborations with Bodil have included set design and construction for Theatre of Yugen’s “Cycle Plays” at Theatre Artaud (now Z Space), a giant kinetic dragonfly for the DuPage Museum near Chicago, and “Time Sensitive Materials” at Cricket Engine in Oakland, California.

Bodil Volmer Fox is a fiber artist and sculptor. She holds an MFA and BA in Art with an emphasis on textiles from San Francisco State University, an AA in Visual Communication from Shoreline Community College in Seattle and has studied at Engelsholm Textile Højskole College, Vejle, Denmark.

Larnie Fox is also an arts consultant currently representing the Estate of the painter Jon Schueler. He formerly was Executive Director of Arts Benicia and Director of the Children’s Fine Art Program for the City of Palo Alto at the Palo Alto Art Center. He has taught drawing, art appreciation and color design at Weber State College, Ogden, Utah, and drawing at the Community University in Bozeman, Montana. He is a founding member of 23five, a Bay Area non-profit that promotes sound art. He holds an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah, and a BA in Painting and Drawing from Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania, and lives, works and collaborates with his wife Bodil in Benicia, California. He and Bodil are past resident artists at the Montalvo Art Center’s Lucas Artists Residency Program in Saratoga, California.

The internationally recognized artist will be accompanied by beer from Pivovarna Mali grad, the first microbrewery in Kamnik, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in June.
