Since our premiere issue in 2007, the readership of HI Art Magazine has grown exponentially with each new edition. Your response to the magazine and participation in competitions and events have made it an exciting and rewarding endeavor. As we continue to bring you features on the arts and artists of Hawaii, we are working to make HI Art a lucid voice, and a more informative and useful tool for Hawaii artists, with new writers, growing Calls For Artists and Calendar sections, as well as new ventures in publishing, public art and more..
Watch for information on upcoming projects by HI Art and idspace and for more ways for you to become involved.
Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm and support for this community venture!
HI Art Magazine is a FREE on line publication that strives to provide an alternative voice for the arts in Hawaii.
We hope that you enjoy the magazine and appreciate your feed back.
Culture is an evolving decoupage of time – layer upon layer of interpretations of the present – forever added to and eroded, re-contextualizing who we are, predicting what we might become. We are not simply our past, our ethnicity, our small island in the Pacific. We are threads in the fabric of a million years of human culture.
Idspace and HI Art Magazine have been dedicated to bringing a high standard of art to our Hawaii community for a decade. One part of that mission is to exhibit the extraordinary artists within our community. Another, most important part of that mission has been to expose our community to international art or the highest caliber. “Negatives to be Stored”, great art from another continent and another century, curated by Polish expatriate, now East Hawaii photographer, Andrzej Kramarz exemplifies that agenda.
ISSUE XV 2013
When idspace, our gallery in the jungle, was closed a year ago, the community lost a venue where passionate artists could freely exhibit challenging works in the context of pastoral gardens.
Thanks to the efforts of a selfless team of volunteers and the donations of numerous art patrons, idspace has been revived in a new incarnation – as a venue in downtown Hilo, open to the public on a daily basis.
In this issue of HI Art Magazine, we bring you the first exhibitions and performances at the new idspace. We hope that you enjoy this look back at these exceptional artists and we look forward to bringing you many more new perspectives.

STEPHANIA GURDOWA - Negatives Are To Be Stored
curated by Andrzej Kramarz
September 6 - October 26, 2013 at idspace
In the attic of one of tenement houses in DÄ™bica, a little town in Southern Poland, more then 1000 – very damaged – glass photo plates were discovered; most of them bearing expressive portraits of unknown people who lived in the area between 1918 and 1939.
At first, we could not tell much about the author of the photographs, although initials appeared on the plates. But as soon as the Imago Mundi Foundation began researching them, an extraordinary figure started to emerge: a woman who was independent, consistent and gifted, and who worked and lived far away from the big culture centers – providing portraits “ordered” by her neighbors: shopkeepers, craftsmen, peasants, priests or Jews.
What we see on the plates is chiefly sets of pairs. Where does the doubling come from?
Most likely it was not an artistic choice consciously made, but an ordinary sense of thriftiness demanding her to spare some photographic materials. However, today the effect of the sparing routine offers varied interpretations, allows for making up fantastic stories as well as for pondering relations between the people who were unintentionally paired on the same plate. It is a fascinating work – all the more so because we can simultaneously see a group portrait of a certain community; a community that was soon to get disintegrated during the World War II.
What do we know about the author of these photographs? Stefania Gurdowa née Czerny was born in 1888 in Bochnia, a little mining town in Southern Poland – back then, within the boundaries of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Her father was the bandmaster in the local Saline Orchestra. She could play the zither but decided to become a professional photographer. Between 1921 and 1937, in the period when Poland began to rebuild its statehood, Gurdowa would run a provincial, independent photographic studio. In those times, it was not common for a woman to take up a profession like that. However, she would even employ male assistants.
When her marriage fell apart, the photographer took only her daughter Zosia and a piano with her. In the late 1930’s, she found herself in Silesia. During the Nazi occupation, she applied to work at her own studio, confiscated by the Germans. Her daughter and granddaughter, Basia escaped to France passing through Austria. In 1942, Stefania was imprisoned in Auschwitz, where she survived until the camp’s liberation.
After the war, Gurdowa decided to make new start and, as seemed inevitable, opened yet another photographic studio. Her customers remember fresh flowers in her cold rental apartment studio as well as… an all-season Christmas tree which was her favorite prop with which to photograph children.
She managed to find her daughter and granddaughter via the Red Cross. Basia returned to Poland. Her granny would take care of her for a dozen or so years. Today Stefania Gurdowa’s granddaughter is an active artist in Paris.
The outstanding photographer died in 1968. After her death the apartment was emptied. Gurdowa’a huge collection of photographs and photo plates was dumped. What is left is only a fraction of her early work. Still there remains the unanswered question: Why was the glass plates collection hidden in the wall of her DÄ™bica studio? Was it Stefania Gurdowa’s conscious decision? Being a consumate professional, she knew well that “negatives are to be stored”

THE LAST PAINTING
EARLY WORKS
By Susumu Sakaguchi
The end of the 1960’s, with all my friends coming back from the Vietnam War, was the beginning and ending of an American Golden Age. In the art scene, social consciousness was changing from Impressionism to Expressionism and toward Conceptual Art.
I had begun my studies in art at the end of the 50’s, without any change in my context of expression. In 1968 one of my mentors – a well-known contemporary painter – told me that he’d been to the opening of an exhibition and was pointed out as ‘another painter’ – like an extinct icon of a bygone era.
This was shocking to me. I wondered what art had become, what common boundary there was to self-understanding and to mankind’s creations. I thought to myself, “So this is the end of painting!” I called the body of work I made next, ‘The Last Painting’ which for me was the beginning of new painting.
I stood on the 9’ x 14’ paper canvas with paint on my brush. I started to physically push myself into a subconscious state. I was totally within myself, and came to discover my origin as an artist.

Stephania Gurdowa
NEGATIVES ARE TO BE STORED
curated by Andrzej Kramarz
Hidden in the walls of a tenement house in Debica, a little town in Southern Poland, more then 1000 - very damaged - glass photo plates were discovered; most of them bearing expressive portraits of unknown people who lived in the area between 1918 and 1939.
Idspace and HI Art Magazine have been dedicated to bringing a high standard of art to our Hawaii community for a decade.

~~~
Relevant: I first heard the name of the Polish-American artist Andrzej Kramarz about 6-7 years ago when I was reading an issue of HI Art magazine while on a vacation in Hawaii. A photographer, conceptual artist, lecturer, curator, and editor, Kramarz has resided on Hawai'i Island since 2010. His works have been exhibited in galleries throughout Europe and the U.S. Several of his pieces are held in permanent museum collections. Intriguingly, alongside his primary art, Kramarz developed a passion for selling movie posters. These weren't just any posters; they were often inspired by cinematic interpretations of his artworks, bridging the gap between still photography and the moving image. Some of these posters became as sought-after as his photographic pieces, adorning the walls of film enthusiasts and art collectors alike. The fusion of his distinct artistic style with iconic film imagery created a unique visual language that resonated with many. Last spring, when I was planning a vacation to Hilo, little did I know I would not only be seeing an exhibition of Kramarz's new works but also a special section dedicated to his movie poster collection at the East Hawaii Cultural Center/HMOCA. Instead, I was preoccupied with selecting a house rental on the beach, buying plane tickets, packing, and hiring a dog sitter to care for my two pouches. With my busy schedule working in NYC, I was eager to immerse myself in this unexpected treat from an artist I admired.
I learned about the Andrzej Kramarz show from the owner of the house that I was renting. The show explored how our points of view and adopted perspectives shape how we understand the limits of freedom and enslavement. AN explanation of the show states: The artist’s remarkable installations incorporate photography, found pictures, archives, audio and video. They explore the function of people, places, and objects within personal and cultural contexts. Reflecting on his work reminds us how often we are bound by our sense of place, and how we construct elaborate mnemonics to store images and associations – fictions we use to revive the past, extrapolate the future and invent the present. I really lucked out being able to see in person, his work. His website: www.akramarz.com/ is worth a visit.

Letters to the Editor
idspace is the product of the hard work of many people: Patti Millington and our collaboration on the gallery and on her creation, HI Art Magazine built and amplified the voice which has been idspace; my girlfriend Jamie Stokes created ambiance, arranging food and our life; Jim Rhodes has been there since the beginning always making sure everything happens as it should; Michael Shewmaker contributed art and wisdom; Randy Takaki was a genie in a bottle, released whenever magic was required; my great friend Clayton Amemiya inspired the garden; Shingo Honda, Shizuno Nasu, Dusan Bogdanovic and all of the other great exhibiting artists sustained the effort, bringing the greatest contribution of all to make idspace important to our community - a standard of great art.
Regarding the gallery, we have resolved the concerns of the Planning Department which was very understanding in dismissing the fines it levied, however we are still struggling with requirements of the County Building Department. With generous support from engineer Yen Wen Fang of Engineering Partners in Hilo we continue to try to meet their requirements. Hopefully with more work and effort, we will emerge from this mire sometime next year.
Thanks to everyone.
When one door closes, another one opens, so follow the Art where ever it will lead
you...
You are amazing! Your vision is amazing! Your Art is amazing! The Muse Loves you
and I do too, Mydock 12/30/11

Wow! It is fantastic maximum! I love art and artists in a very visceral way as they contribute so much, including one of the great means of self-expression and communicating insight. You made a great contribution here!!
Art and table tennis seem kindred spirits, for the lack of financial flows can make the engagement such a struggle. It takes the extraordinary to accomplish the modest.
I feel very good about knowing you and what you have done!! -Donn

Many thanks for this eloquent, beautifully written piece and touching recounting of idspace time Stephen. An incredible evolution in the rainforest that made me sad I'd come to know you all so late. I am honored to be included in your community, to have been part of idspace.
I want to continue to support and help out - what are the fines like? I can't afford a huge amount but maybe all small donations would be helpful? I will go online and make a donation to the magazine at www.hiartmagazine.com.
It is a blow to the community and to the Hawai'i Island artworld to lose a space like this. I hope for only great things ahead for you and Patti, Bella and Jamie.
Mahalo no, Val

Dear Stephen,
I've just received and read the last idspace message informing me of its closing. Even if I left Hilo Hawai'i more than 5 years ago, it was always with happiness and great pleasure that I received and read idspace news letters, and always with a little sadness to live so far away and not been able to join and visit the openings and the shows.
I remember so vividly you beautiful and genuine place. You, Randy and all the others will always have a special place in my heart. It is with true sadness that I read that it is a good bye newsletter.
I wish you, from the bottom of my heart, to succeed in your projects and new challenges. I warmly want to thank you, and all the others who participate in this fantastic project - the idspace, for this great accomplishment and for all you did for the artists and residents of Hawai'i and for Hawai'i.
I hope to have the chance to visit Hawai'i soon and maybe to have the pleasure to meeting you again!
With much aloha, Hélène

Hi Steve,
I'm heartbroken after reading your idspace announcement. You put such an effort supporting the creative community. Selfishly have to admit I looked forward to the next exhibit and of course the socializing. May the closing of this journey open to an equal (or do I dare say) more exciting endeavor.
Anticipating your next adventure.
Sincerely, Trudee

I cannot even believe that idspace has been closed down. It feels personal, even though I have only had the privilege to visit twice.

Dear Steve et al,
So very sorry to hear of this trouble. Such a lovely place to come and visit and such a labor of love it has been from you and your household. Will miss these gatherings but so very much hope you can continue to feel energized and fed by HI Art Magazine. Obviously the magazine is also a labor of love. Thank you for your invitations to these exhibits at your home. I have been very honored to have been included in invitations to these shows. If you are accepting any donations to help offset the cost of the fines, I could contribute a little to help with that. Blessings on you all. Fine work:)
Best thoughts, Diana

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of idspace. I had heard about you from my friend Amaury St Gilles, and hoped to be able to exhibit with you one day... a space that so clearly was loved by many in the community - after all, gathering the community together is a big part of what Art can do! Maybe some "mystery" exhibits - large or small - can spring up here and there around the island! The thought gives me ideas!
Thanks, Beth Changstrom

Patti,
We are stunned and without words. How on earth could this happen? ...And, we are being totally selfish. We both feel like idspace is a special part of us and had hoped for another show or event or project together in the future. The two of us were looking forward to seeing more shows at the great space and being on the spectacular property. Sometimes change is a bitch and so very sad...We will still have Hi Art Magazine to look forward to, right? Please write when you have a chance and let us know how you are doing.
Sad and aggravated in Hilo, Kathie and John Dawson
_________________________________
I am so sad to read that this wonderful, magical place where one could find such inspiration and beauty will no longer be able to welcome us back again. How sad for you - to see your dream so completely fulfilled only to see it abruptly come to an end as well. And, selfishly, how sad for us - where can we go to nourish our sense of esthetic? What will happen to you? And, what will happen to us? This can't be true.
Are there any that can continue your dream in another space? You are so right about the commercial galleries. Your space was so personal, those who came were somehow connected - we were not strangers. Your space and the art was such a refuge. Can't we continue somewhere? What does it take? But, another place will never have your gardens, your little gallery lit up in the dark, and the wonderful sense of being safe among friends.
Please let us know if we can do anything - anything at all - to help in any way. I am very very sad.
With much appreciation and aloha, Elisabeth

Oh No Stephen!
I am so sorry to see your place go. Hawaii so needed your commitment to the arts.
That being said, I totally understand how tough it must be to try to survive in that environment. IMHO the people of Hawaii totally undervalue the visual arts. Being an artist in NYC is very tough, and there is way more of an accepted perception of the value of the arts here.
idspace has held a very special place for me. The bravery and beauty of the place with be with me forever. It will be missed.
Hope you are well otherwise, Charles Yuen

It was with great sadness that I read of the closing of Id space. I only attended 3 openings there, --but it was a true treasure, & a fabulous effort that was extremely successful. I hope that the HIArt newsletter continues, as I read each issue "cover to cover"--- it is a wonderful source of what's happening in art for us Hawaii artists.
Please stop into One Gallery at 128 Kilauea. Just up from the farmers market. Our mission to function as a commercial gallery by & for artists. It isn't as sophisticated as Id space, & we do carry little gift items... We have only been open since January, and it has been a very slow process of getting art of substantial quality, but that is one of our major goals. We have to planting & keep weeding.. it's truly like a garden.
...One Gallery is an artists collective, owned & operated primarily by Deborah Beaver, Eva Anderson, & Amy Markham. It'd be wonderful if any of you came in to check us out & shared your insight & feedback.
a hui hou, & mahalo for your idspace experience....... Amy Markham

Dear Stephen,
We met via UH with Suzanne Wolfe a number of years ago. My name then was Gail Bakutis. I since moved to Maui and am Arabella Ark.
I am shocked and saddened to hear your calamitous story... I find the county and state regulations insane and discriminatory. I have also never before (i've lived in Hawaii for 40 years) heard that an artist cannot make and show and sell his own work on his own land.
I am sorry you have closed. It is a wrongful situation. I send this info in sympathy and dismay.
Aloha, Arabella

I just read your story…how very very sad the story is….The exhibits look wonderful. Hopefully something new will pop up for you. Thank you for Hawaii arts magazine.
Art and artists always have struggled through the ages and this is probably no different. I have devoted my life to the arts on Kauai and am about burned out. I hope to meet you on the big island at the opening of the Faces of Hawaii show.
