Sarah Greene Reed, "DECADE" exhibition at the Beeville Art Museum, Beeville, TX.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
DIGITAL COLLAGES BY SARAH GREENE REED
ON VIEW AT THE BEEVILLE ART MUSEUM
January 21 – April 14, 2012
HOUSTON, TEXAS (December 7, 2011)— Decade, a ten-year survey of Sarah Greene Reed’s digital collage work, will open at the Beeville Art Museum on Saturday, January 21, 2012. The Austin-based artist, a proponent of “more is more,” creates large, colorful, multi-layered collages, featuring a variety of objects including scanned photos, fabric swatches, bottle caps, zippers, food, string and wire.
Tracy Saucier, Director of the Beeville Museum, has been following Reed’s work for several years, and says, “We’ve wanted to show Sarah’s work for quite some time and are thrilled to host her ten-year retrospective.”
To create each of her pieces, Reed scans the objects—often things she has found-- and photographs, and then edits the color and composition of each layer on her computer.
“I’ve always collected things and consider my collages personal landscapes developed from a catalogue of images I’ve created over the years,” she stated.
With a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, MFA studies in Photography at the University of Houston, and a graduate certificate in American Arts from Sotheby’s in New York, Reed developed a diverse artistic background that eventually led to her digital work. “When I started working digitally, I had a lightening-bolt moment when I realized it all made sense—it’s the ultimate combination of everything I’ve worked towards,” stated the artist.
Sarah Greene Reed has exhibited her work at national galleries and institutions, including Moody Gallery in Houston, Texas; D Berman Gallery in Austin, Texas; Lewis Art Gallery, Millsaps College, Jackson, Mississippi; and the National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Reed’s work is also included in the permanent collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, Georgia; and The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, Louisiana. Most recently, Reed has branched out into illustration, teaming up with author Hynden Walch on a children’s book entitled, Ben and Boo: Two Dogs on Mars with Banana Pie.
The Beeville Art Museum, created and operated by the Joe Barnhart Foundation, is first and foremost a teaching museum, providing cultural and educational opportunities for the citizens of Bee County and surrounding areas. Cited by Texas Monthly magazine as one of the “great small towns for art,” Beeville, with a population of approximately 13,000, is home to one of the most ambitious art and education programs in Texas. In addition to exhibiting works by some of Texas’s most renowned artists, as well as selections from private collections and major museums across the state, the Beeville Art Museum provides docent-led tours and art classes for children and adults and workshops for Beeville educators at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Sarah Greene Reed is collaborating with writer Hynden Walch on their second book:
The Hillside Produce Cooperative Book shows and tells how to set up a free, eating-off-the-grid, neighborhood food collective through a crazy-quilt of stories, interviews, and illustrations by co-op founder and author Hynden Walch and artist Sarah Greene Reed. The Hillside Produce Cooperative is based in Los Angeles, but the principles can be applied to any neighborhood. The how-to element is leavened with stories of the author’s follies and triumphs thinking-up, starting, and then running the Hillside Produce Cooperative. The book dives into both the (pine) nuts and bolts of how to implement this system and also examines why one might want to. Alongside the practicalities, it touches on the historical influences, laws, economic theories, current events, spiritual essence, philosophical ideals, and yummy recipes of a free neighborhood food exchange. The Hillside Produce Cooperative Book shows how one person can help change her community by connecting her neighbors through generously given, freely shared, home-grown food.
The first free food exchange of the Hillside Produce Cooperative took place in August of 2008 with eight neighbors in Northeast Los Angeles. It has now grown to over three-hundred and fifty members with six chapters in California and has been featured in the New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, KCRW’s Good Food, Dwell Magazine, and Tasting Table. Founder Hynden Walch happily runs operations from her home and tells anyone who will listen how easy it is to eliminate waste, build community, and have lots and lots of lovely local food to eat for FREE.
