“A MILE OF TAPE”

INTERACT WITH “A MILE OF TAPE” AT THE BLUE LINE GALLERY

Artist Danny Scheible Stretches Tape and Imagination

ROSEVILLE, Calif., June 29, 2010—The Blue Line Gallery, in conjunction with 3M, is proud to present "A Mile of Tape," an interactive installation by Sacramento artist Danny Scheible.

“A Mile of Tape” is a contemporary take off on the 1942 "Mile of String" created by Marcel Duchamp, whose insightful probing of the boundaries of art continues to resonate with artists generations later. Danny Scheible’s installation at the Blue Line Gallery will consist entirely of tape donated by the 3M company. It will include an interactive opportunity for visitors to help install a mile of ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape meandering across the gallery walls, floor and ceiling, as well as a large masking tape installation sculpted by Scheible.

"Visitors to the Blue Line will be invited to create their own experiences and add their own unique voices to the installation," says Scheible. The artist will demonstrate different sculptural uses for masking tape at the Blue Line Gallery every Tuesday in July during Downtown Tuesday Nights, 5-8pm and July 17, 10am-5pm.

WHO: Blue Line Gallery
WHAT: A Mile of Tape: Interactive Installation by Danny Scheible
WHEN: July 6 - August 14, 2010; Opening Reception, July 17, 6:30-9:00 p.m.
Installation/Demonstration dates: Tuesdays in July, 5-8pm; 3rd Saturday, July 17, 10am-5pm

ABOUT DANNY SCHEIBLE
Listing his current occupation as “Spirit of Sacramento”, Danny Scheible has been creating and exhibiting his interactive installations in Northern California for the past four years. Constantly looking for ways to challenge the familiar using everyday materials like tape and inviting interactive dialogue with the public, Scheible carries rolls of tape in bracelet form on his arm everywhere he goes, engaging those he encounters in easy conversation about art and imagination. He considers his work to be a catalyst for creation. His large tape sculptures, he says, are akin to the amorphous masses of 20th century German artist Joseph Beauys, whose installations included materials flung into the corners to represent “primordial assemblage from which life and creativity spring.” Recently Scheible has collaborated with his long time love, Zara Hayes, to produce his larger scale installations.

ABOUT VERNON PEASENELL
Vernon Peasenell has worked as a professional artist for more than forty years, mastering a full range of painting, sculpture and printmaking mediums. The story behind the work in his first California exhibit at Roseville Arts’ Tower Lobby Gallery captivated visitors and garnered local press in 1999. Powerful images of angels and souls passing to another dimension told about Peasenell’s intense personal journey caring for his dying parents, who had both suffered from Alzheimers. That year the artist established a studio/gallery in Roseville, now The Flat Line Gallery, and has since actively exhibited in other area galleries, including the Pamela Skinner Gallery in Sacramento and the Sacramento Fine Arts Center. In 2001, the artist received the City of Roseville’s Artist of the Year Award for creating Roseville’s first public art sculpture and serving as lead artist in “The Kids” Gallery tile wall at the Westfield Galleria Mall at Roseville. The 2,300 ceramic tile mural installed at the Galleria raised over $100,000 to benefit abused children and kick-start Roseville Arts’ first children’s gallery. Thirty monumental sculptures by the artist were commissioned and installed by Safeco Insurance Company in the Belharbor Convention Center in Seattle, Washington. Peasenell holds a Master of Fine Arts from Whichita State University and a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. He is a certified welder and has more than 30 years experience in bronze foundary work. He has taught art at Sierra College and Sacramento City College and manages his own gallery and teaching studio.
