      RESUME

HJ BOTT ----- First an Overview

HJ (aka Harvey) Bott was born in Gill, Colorado, 1933, population less than 100, to first generation American parents of German/Russian descent.  He attended adult life-drawing classes each summer for five years at Greeley State College, starting at age 9, and was in his first  major two-person exhibit at Trinity University, at age 14, while also attending the Coppini Academy  for classical sculpture.

Upon completing high school  in San Antonio, TX., he began a Tri-Coastal and European education process that included joint studies in art and cultural anthropology at Art Center College and USC., Art Students League with graduate studies at NYU and Columbia; Dusseldorf  Kunstakademie, Bamberg Kunstschule, the University of Heidelberg, and others.
 
He has shown his work in exhibitions, ranging from the restroom of the bus station in Wendover, UT, 1952, to galleries, art centers and museums principally in New York , Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Dusseldorf and Mexico City, among many other locations world wide. He has shown in over 75 solo exhibitions, 16 solo Robott performances, 24 solo in-situ installations, more than 700 group gallery exhibitions and 389 invitational museum juried/survey shows. Seventy public (museum & university) collections and 118 corporate collections include his work.  He has completed over 20 governmental commissions and over 160 private and corporate commissions.

His sculpture studio, Bott's Blue-Barn-on-Barnes is in Houston's West End.

  SKILLS / GENRE                    

Currently involved with Painting, Reliefs and research & experiments in electronic environments: drawing with beams of light in portable (& site-specific) black-hole like chambers, often interactive with sound, image projectrion and multi-media subterfuge. These installations frequently explore the complexities of the illusions of 2-D perspective brought into 3-D. Often used as a means of learning how-to-see "exercises". Current Projects: floating 4-D hypercubes in 3-D spaces with approriate cosmic sounds and spatial lights. (see Installations)

Extensive model making and clay modeling skills with a very wide range of finished media as used for my electronic environments, both still and video, as well as for architectural and movie presentations.

Many years of experience, clay modeling (prior to foundry casting) preparing BAS-RELIEF plaques, including: logos, seals, scenes and portraits of politicans, famous historical and sports figures, philanthropists and celebrities as an additional studio support mechanism..
