Michael Dotson
Michael-Dotson-10-26-07.jpg

Cleveland-based artist Michael Dotson is interested in the appearance of things, especially through the lens of fashion and architecture. Dotson looks at how individuals and spaces become dressed up and made to compensate or fight against an otherwise mundane body or landscape. Created under the principle that fascination comes out of boredom, Dotson has taken structures such as sports arenas as a point of departure to explore the aesthetic value of these spaces over their function. Through this process, the sports field environments become a seemingly arbitrary space divided by linear patterns. Last year, the artist graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art which has been followed by exhibitions at Spaces Gallery and Frontroom Gallery in Cleveland and Playspace Gallery in San Francisco.

"Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see how this artist is at all angry or cynical. I read that she has a great sense of humor. Not seeing the negative, negative that you apparently see. Can you explain what the hell you are talking about?"
--Mike

"I certainly appreciate beautiful art; she is obviously talented. Yet, this woman is angry, cynical, and mentally ill. Aside from what she did with these children, what she recently did with McCain's photograph is appauling, disgusting, and twisted. She's part of the crazy, radical establishment which reflects democrats in a very bad light (no pun intended). Negative, negative, negative......it's always doomsday and the glass is always half empty. Jeez, find some peace and smell some roses!! "
