I woke up this morning to a front page article announcing my solo exhibition "Contemporary Samplers" at Four Fourteen Gallery. Here's a quick scan of the print feature.

Biggest thanks to The Appeal Democrat for covering the show!

I'm sharing a new body of work largely made since relocating to Marysville, California in 2018. Come check out "Contemporary Samplers" at Four Fourteen Gallery located at 414 4th Street in historic Downtown Marysville starting this Friday February 11.

The exhibition runs February 11, 2022 to February 19th, 2022.

Blooming in the Whirlwind, a poetry, film and installation project that included my work, produced by Level Ground and Durden and Ray, was reviewed by Genie Davis in Diversions LA!

Opening Nov. 13, 2021, Blooming in the Whirlwind at Durden and Ray takes a creative journey through the pandemic.

A collaboration of the Level Ground and Durden and Ray collectives, the project began early in the pandemic with Level Ground inviting poets to write poems about the moment. Level Ground then paired those poets with filmmakers. Now, Durden and Ray has paired installation artists with the films to create an exhibition that takes us from early in the pandemic to our pandemic/post-pandemic world through three forms of art.

At the show, visitors can pick up booklets that contain the poems, watch the videos on a monitor, and explore the art installations.

Show run: Nov. 13 to Dec. 5, 2021

Opening reception: 6-10 p.m. Nov. 13, 2021

Open hours: 12 to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays

Location: Durden and Ray, 206 Maple Ave #832, Los Angeles, CA 90015

Poets: Christina Brown, Daniel Binkoski, DeiSelah, Jireh Deng, Karly Kuntz, Madeleine St. John, Noor Jamal, Simone Tetrault, and Tamisha A Tyler

Filmmakers: Andrés Vazquez, Anthony D. Frederick, Andrew Neel & Alex C. Smith, Ilgın G. Korugan, Labkhand Olfatmanesh, Leila Jarman, Meredith Adelaide, Rich Johnson, and Taree Vargas

Installation artists: Arezoo Bharthania, Ismael de Anda III, Dani Dodge, Kiyomi Fukui, Sean Noyce, Tina Linville, Reed Van Brunschot, Flora Kao, and Ricardo Harris-Fuentes

Level Ground curators: Andy Motz, Rebekah Neel, Samantha Curley, and Simone Tetrault

Durden and Ray curators: Arezoo Bharthania, Ismael de Anda III, Sean Noyce

“Blooming in the Whirlwind” takes its name from a line found in the poet Gwendolyn Brooks’s 1968 classic, “The Second Sermon on the Warpland.” In that year that also contained upheavel, Brooks encouraged readers to “conduct your blooming in the noise and whip of the whirlwind.”

This exhibition explores the COVID-19 pandemic in a unique and moving way through three different forms of art created in three different points of time. And through this process it proves, there can be blooming in a whirlwind.

I was delighted to a front page article by David Wilson about the art mentorship program I founded and directed this past pandemic year in The Appeal Democrat Newspaper on Tuesday, August 10, 2021.

Read both pages of the article online read here.

(Correction: The piece lists me moving to the Yuba Sutter community in 2008. However that is a typo. I moved here in 2018 not 2008.)

I was fortunate to dream up and direct a mentorship program for local artists during the pandemic concluding this past June. You can learn more about the Art Mentorship Program and the artist graduates in this archived conversation that we had last week on Facebook live and YouTube, hosted by Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture, the program sponsor, made possible with funding from California Arts Council.

Stay tuned for more details about the artist mentorship exhibitions coming up on July 31 and August 7.

I woke up this morning to a feature of our new gallery project, Four Fourteen on the front page of our local paper! The first show with our new name and new cooperative structure is called "Wall Hangings" and opens on May 25th.

Gallery is open by appointment or for regular hours during the run of the show on Fridays from 2pm to 5pm and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm. Email us at fourfourteengallery@gmail.com to make an appointment or just drop by when we are open.

Gallery is located at 414 4th Street in Marysville, California.

Four Fourteen Gallery presents "Wall Hangings"

May 25,2021 - July 3, 2021

The exhibition features artwork by artists Arezoo Bharthania, Sarah Cabigas, Devan Carpentier, Julia Couzens, Rachel Emenaker, Dawn Ertl, Hannah Hughes, and Tina Linville.

"Wall Hangings" is a group of artwork that collectively contributes to conversations about fiber art. The works included in the exhibition incorporate making processes such as weaving, sewing, dyeing, quilting, and crochet and consider what these processes and materials meaningfully contribute to the way we understand what it means to be human in 2021.

This exhibition is in dialogue with art conversations of the past half century that consider the rich tactile and contemplative value that textiles can bring to the critical context of the gallery. The historic exhibition "Wall Hangings", the namesake for this show, was produced by the Museum of Modern Art in 1969 and was an early example of curators making the case for textiles as art. This was the first time that the museum reserved its best art galleries for fiber artworks rather than relegating all textile based artwork to sideline galleries used for so called lower status objects and artifacts deemed as craft.

The show is free and open to the public by appointment or regularly scheduled gallery hours on Fridays from 2pm to 5pm or Saturdays from 10am to 1pm.

The gallery is located at 414 4th Street in Marysville, California.

Email at fourfourteengallery@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.

I am excited to participate in a new gallery project called Four Fourteen in the same building where I have my studio. The project is organized and managed by me together with artist Sarah Cabigas and also includes my collaborative projects with Joe as Painting & Sculpture Outpost, happening largely in the store front window spaces of the building.

Four Fourteen is an artist-run gallery cooperative. We host both solo and group gallery exhibitions of a curated group of gallery artists. We also organize exhibition projects to bring more art experiences to our community.

We are located in downtown Marysville, California at 414 4th Street.

Happy Easter!

I will be having a conversation with artists Sue Graue, Amelia Villagomez and Kathy Childers (and perhaps more) about the art exhibition "Covid Stories: Making Art in a Pandemic" this coming Friday, January 22 at 4pm.

You can watch live on facebook, or view the conversation archived on YouTube after the event.

For my project as artist-in-residence at Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture this year, I created an art exhibition called Covid Stories:Making Art in a Pandemic. This show spans 2 venues* (Four Fourteen Gallery and Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture Gallery*) with 12 artists and 2 window art installations, specifically created for the project. It brings together artwork made locally since the pandemic closed down California in March of 2020 into conversation as we consider as a creative community what it means to make art in our time.

The Yuba Sutter community can visit the show in person at the Four Fourteen Gallery at 414 4th Street by appointment only.

Make your appointments on Thursdays or Fridays from 10am - 2pm. Your appointment is for a half an hour and reserves the gallery exclusively for your household to experience the show. Masks are required.

Email paintingandsculptureoutpost@gmail.com to reserve the gallery.

*The Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture Gallery venue is not currently open to in person exhibition visitors at this time.

I was included in the December 1st edition of Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture's 2020 interview program "Artist Alchemy" hosted by David Read alongside local Yuba Sutter artists Tom Galvin and Joe Moye to talk about my artist-in-residence art exhibition project Covid Stories: Making Art in a Pandemic.

Changing a Point of View

Online exhibitions have not always had the best reputation in the Art World. Yet the Art World had no choice but to adapt given the recent events of the pandemic. The entire world has been asked to stay home and there is still no idea of exactly how or when or even if things will ever be the same again. The Art World has been so heavily dependent upon big gatherings between blockbuster museum shows and art fairs that it is very uncertain how such events will continue in the future.

Changing a Point of View is an online group exhibition featuring 30 female identifying artists. While the works vary greatly in style, content and material, together they perhaps can change a few minds about how we look at art shows online. Without the constraints of budget, space or equipment that a traditional brick and motor show would have, I was free to select work solely on its aesthetic and artistic qualities and conceptual ideas, using the images to tell a part of the larger collective story, one of which we are all involved. Like it or not, we are in the era of online shows. Even still, I could not help myself but to envision this show in a grand beautiful museum, as the work is truly of museum quality. I ask viewers to imagine themselves walking through large galleries, the works shifting slightly into clusters of themes like chapters of a novel.

Take notice of subtle repetitions, the use of household objects from furniture, silverware, hoses or dust pans, some where these materials were completely transformed whereas others they were created. References to Nature are evident in a variety of works, ranging from subjects like a horizon to slightly odd botanical forms, cellular molecules and cavernous spaces. It was important to me to include a wide variety of artists, not only in materials, which range from fiber, paper, plaster, cement, wood, hair, ceramics, wire, metal, glass, video, plastics and more but artistic styles that range from minimal and monochromatic to maximal, incorporating a wide range of found and created objects, abstract to representational.

I highly encourage all viewers to click on the artist's images and go to their websites to learn more about each individual's motivations and process and think about how each artist is Changing a Point of View,​ be that from unpaid domestic labor, to a world becoming ever more technological, or how we view and think about changes in our environment and Nature. Each artist selected is truly exceptional, and worth the time engaging in the conversations their work creates. I envision this exhibition as an opportunity to bring artists together that may never be able to in real life. Enjoy the journey with me. Let's change some minds.

SYNC RAINBOW MAINSPRING

Featuring artwork by:
Steve Lim, Tina Linville, Joe Lloyd, and Alexandra Sprowls

March 1, 2019 - March 31, 2019

gallery hours:
Saturdays, 11-3
or by appointment

gallery reception:
Saturday, March 16th 4-8pm

Sync Rainbow Mainspring is about synchronicities, finely timed events and experiences that have led the founding partners of Painting and Sculpture Outpost to believe that they are here at precisely the right time in precisely the right place. Painting and Sculpture Outpost thinks Marysville is rich in content, history, and cultural intersections, and they are excited to see how contemporary art might join into the momentum of cultural renewal already underway in the community.

The group of paintings and sculptures on view introduces the founding partners of Painting and Sculpture Outpost. Each partner is a practicing artist living and working in the community. The show is a presentation of the some of the work they are making, from recent, never before seen paintings and sculptures, to pieces that provide context to how the art has developed over time. Coming from a broad range of artistic interests, this display of work articulates differences as well as similarities, talks about each artists individual values, and functions as a point of reference for the kinds of work you might expect to see in future P&SO happenings that serve to connect the Yuba Sutter community to the broader visual art landscape.

Announcing the creation of Painting and Sculpture Outpost, an artist-run space dedicated to the exploration of contemporary art through exhibitions, events, and educational programming that I've been working on with my partners Joe Lloyd, Steve Lim, and Alexandra Sprowls for the past 6 months. We are getting set to launch our debut exhibition in March.

Stay tuned for more details about our future exhibitions and events on our website at www.paintingandsculptureoutpost.com and on facebook and instagram @paintingandsculptureoutpost.

Los Angeles has hosted the Olympic Games twice in the past, in 1932 and 1984, and is gearing up to host again in the summer of 2028. Every time a large international competition takes over the news cycle, conversations about the nature of competition, international relations, and even social structures are opened. Tina Linville’s work opens a path to engage in similar discussions, but from a very different vantage point. Instead of thinking about the use-value of peaceful competition as a means to a diplomatic end, Linville’s work engages in an exploration of one of homo sapiens’ most essential attributes—humanity as engaged in creative play. From her elaborately constructed textile pieces resembling catchers’ jerseys, to first-place ribbons, to a scoreboard, she uses sport as a reference point. Rather than attempt to stick a flawless landing à la Gabby Douglas, though, Linville revels in the unruly and unpredictable nature of play.

Earthly Delights
curated by Carol Shaw Sutton

September 1, 2018 - October 27, 2018

Opening Reception // September 1st from 4-6pm

The Blackboard Gallery at Studio Channel Islands is located 2222 E. Ventura Blvd, Camarillo, CA

This group of artists was chosen because of the sensuously crafted nature of their work, combined with their deep concerns for the future of humanity and the health of our planet. Media ranges from painting, sculptural installations, photography, ceramics, printmaking, woodworking, ceramic sculpture and fiber.

The title was borrowed from 15th Century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch’s iconic painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights” in which he surrealistically depicts man’s desires and human foibles while leading the viewer to some rather severe consequences of their actions. At that particular time in European history people were simultaneously excited, shocked and dismayed by discoveries of exotic flora, fauna and cultural practices found during global exploration and intervention. Their world was swiftly changing creating intense anxiety with its concurrent longing for certainty and control. This void was quickly filled by Church dogma, economic domination and expanded military ventures.

During our current moment in history we are bombarded with mind bending discoveries from the outer reaches of the universe, to the almost complete global expansion of commerce that is simultaneously annihilating traditions and environments, technology’s rule of our lives, and like before, even though perhaps more intensely, these are challenging the core of human nature and are playing out at in ever more critical ways. Each artist included here, addresses views of paradise, sensuality and/or consequence of our actions. The work is also connected by the common thread of creation and destruction, as is the reoccurring theme of nature.

Includes work by the following artists:

Carrie Burkle, Jasmine Delgado, Yvette Gellis, Nancy Goodman Lawrence, Kiel Johnson, Sandra Klein, Tina Linville, Janet Neuwalder, Wendy Osher, Victoria Pearson, Fred Rose, Roxanne Sexauer, Jamie Sweetman, and Marie Thibeault

(The image above is a painting by Yvette Gellis.)

Dan Callis and Tina Linville have very different practices in mediums and histories. However, there are intriguing similarities in strategies, motivations, and concepts.

Fun on the floor is figurative and physical.

We mean figurative as metaphorical, not figurative as in figures, although there will be figures, but most pieces of arts will be figure-less. In an effort to be fully transparent you should also know that fun on the floor isn't just metaphorical, it's also literal. There’s a lot going on--on the floor (but it’s fun).

Soft.core.la, the artists, the guests, if we do our job properly, will be having fun, and there will be a floor present, that hopefully we will all be standing/sitting/dancing/strolling/posing on.

There will also be some art on said floor, which is at 428 Hewitt St, which is fun.

We have found, and hope you find as well, that it is fun to put art on the floor.

There will also be, fun art on the walls, but fun on the walls is a bit unwieldy. These are artists who have fun within their practice, expect unexpected, new perspectives, and free beer.

The Earl & Virginia Green Art Gallery at Biola University is proud to present the exhibition "FACULTY MEETING". This exhibition features recent works by the faculty of the Biola University Art Department.

The exhibition will be on view November 7 - 22, 2017.

Trapper Keeper was reviewed in Art and Cake! Check out the full text online, linked here.

Trapper Keeper is a group exhibition featuring work by Tina Linville, Annelie McKenzie, Dakota Noot, and Don Porcella, four artists whose works display fresh takes on contemporary figuration. While varied in their explorations, these artists share connection through their vibrant use of color, energy and humor; creating a fantastical world rich with hearts, stars, and a myriad of characters and creatures. Wielding kitsch like a glorious weapon, these artists elevate every day materials like pipe cleaners, glitter, rhinestones, stickers and beads to the realm of fine art. These pieces, unencumbered by any ties to pragmatic realism, allow humans, animals, aliens and hybrid forms to co-exist in a space, resulting in an environment that is at once florid, energetic, and joyously bizarre.

I'm excited to have a sculpture included in "Diverge/Convene: Contemporary Mixed Media” at the San Diego Art Institute from April 1, 2017 through May 15.

The group exhibition “Diverge/Convene: Contemporary Mixed Media” highlights artists of all media working in the liminal spaces not easily defined by traditional collage or assemblage work. The artists in “Diverge/Convene” have all developed and share an understanding of contemporary collage as a medium and a genre, employing disparate elements through the use of materials and/or content. This exhibition celebrates artists both locally and nationally that are not only working in traditional 2D/3D mediums, but also in sound sculpture, video, photography, installation, and alternative processes. The exhibition is organized by Ginger Shulick Porcella, Exeuctive Director of SDAI, and Kate McNamara, Director of Galleries and Exhibitions for the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design.

Selected artists include: Wick Alexander, Elise Amour, Sean Capone, William Crump, Patrick Dintino, Aaron Garretson, Tara de la Garza, Marina Grize, Ivy Guild, Greg Haberny, Jodi Hays, John Brinton Hogan, Alan F. Jones & Lissa Corona, Robin Kang, Davin Kyle Knight, Angele Lebert, Tina Linville, Elena Lomakin, Jessica McCambly, Bhavna Mehta, Carmelo Midili, Joshua Moreno, Margaret Noble, Edwin Nutting, Brianna Ortega, Sara Parent-Ramos, Scott Polach, Ryder Richards, Gwen Samuels, Ali Silverstein, Josh Slater, Eva Struble, David Willburn, Ricardo Yanofsky.
