SUMMARY:Roses\, Ruffs\, and Reflections | Alicia Brown\, Claire Partington\, Tony Scherman
DESCRIPTION:Winston Wächter Fine Art\, New York is pleased to present “Roses\, Ruffs\, and Reflections”\, a group exhibition featuring works by Alicia Brown\, Claire Partington\, and Tony Scherman. Each artist employs traditional techniques and historical styles in distinctly different ways that continues the conversation of the deep-rooted constructs of power and oppression that have been seen throughout generations. The works are hauntingly hopeful and carry the strength of persistence\, wrapped together with a bit of humor in their visions for the future. \nIn Imaginary Homelands\, Alicia Brown celebrates the perseverance of migrants who have left their home countries either voluntarily or by force. Brown uses portraiture to tell the stories of friends and family from Jamaica residing in the United States. She combines elements from Jamaican culture including native plants\, animals\, objects\, symbols\, and idioms with elements from Western art and history. In doing so\, Brown examines the duality of who a subject was in their homeland and who they become in order to adapt and survive in a foreign culture. Objects such as Elizabethan ruff collars evoke narratives of power\, control\, and social status\, while native Caribbean plants create an environment of home. In these powerful portraits\, Brown celebrates the ingenuity with which immigrants both adapt to and shape their adopted homes. \nClaire Partington’s mixed-media ceramic sculptures draw from both traditional and contemporary art practices. Referencing portraiture conventions from throughout art history as well as contemporary social media\, Partington humorously comments on constructs of gender and power. Echo and Narcissus are a pair of sculptures inspired by Greek Mythology. Echo\, a mountain nymph who could only repeat the last word that she heard and Narcissus\, who fell in love with his own reflection\, are depicted as teenagers absorbed in their phones. These porcelain and earthenware figures reference not only antiquity but fashionable sculpture from the 18th century. In these and other works\, Partington playfully mixes up imagery from antiquity\, social media\, art history\, folklore\, and fashion to prompt questions about interpretation and narrative\, particularly about women\, and particularly about power.  \nTony Scherman works in the ancient technique of encaustic by layering wax\, oil paint\, and pigments to build deeply expressive paintings. His series\, For all the wise women persecuted as “witches”\, is dedicated to women throughout history to the present day who have been punished for their wisdom\, progressiveness\, or determination. Each piece depicts two roses\, illuminated in an ethereal yellow-green light against a swirling dark ground. The flowers stand out against a depth of darkness as petals\, leaves\, and other elements play and shift along the surface of the painting. The roses are a tribute\, a hopeful beacon of perseverance against the oppression of forward-thinking women. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Talya Baharal | SHAPE OF A LANGUAGE | Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:First Street Gallery is pleased to present Shape of A Language\, a solo exhibition of abstract\npaintings by Talya Baharal.\nTalya Baharal’s paintings explore the journey and shaping of her abstract painter’s voice.\nUnintended compositions are seen\, absorbed and re-imagined in the language of abstraction.\nWhether looking at asphalt road repairs or broken ice sheets hovering over a receding river\,\nnoticing a humble mended seam on a garment or a mangled wire on a trash heap – all seem to\nbecome part of Baharal’s imaginary scape; part of her vocabulary of abstraction.\n“Excavating and disturbing surfaces\, whether metaphorically or physically\, have been an\nongoing theme in all my work. Revealing visual remnants of the struggles and the discoveries\nare at the essence of my painting path. I paint for those moments of clarity. I paint for the\ntimes that I find the courage to destroy and rebuild. I paint to feel alive.” *\nIn Baharal’s previous work as a sculptor and maker of wearable objects\, she mainly drew upon\nthe visual language of vulnerability and decay. Much of her attention to shapes of vessels\, \nstructures of contained chaos and the mapping of imaginary scapes is carried over in her\npaintings. Acrylic paint\, ink and other mixed media are her materials of choice. Torn paintings\nand images of previous sculptures used as collage material activate many of her compositions.\nA dialog between the paint\, ink markings and the collage create a rich language of layered lines \nthat intersect expanses of paint. The changing character of lines that appear\, disappear and re-\nappear reveal the armature that connects the composition. Baharal’s work is deeply rooted in \nexcavating the personal journey of a painter’s voice unearthing its vocabulary.\nTalya Baharal lives and and paints in her studio in the Hudson Valley\, NY. Born in Tel Aviv\,\nIsrael. Raised there and in London she moved to NYC in 1979. Widely recognized\, exhibited and\npublished as a studio art jeweler and sculptor for over three decades\, she is the recipient of a\nNYFA fellowship\, other grants and awards. Baharal was a juror on NYFA sculpture/craft panel\nand the curator of a book on contemporary art jewelry. While living in Maine for a few years\,\nshe began focusing exclusively on painting and studied with Steve Aimone. Upon her return to\nNew York she studied with Fran O’Neill and John Lees at the NY Studio School. A solo exhibition\nof her paintings “Raw Ink – Blue Paint” was exhibited at Five Points Art Center Gallery in\nTorrington\, CT in 2021. Shape of A Language\, her upcoming exhibition in February 2023 at First\nStreet Gallery is her first solo painting exhibition in NYC. Her paintings were part of several\ngroup shows in Chelsea\, Connecticut and the Hudson Valley. Baharal is represented in CA by\nLulo Gallery in Healdsburg\, Sonoma\, where a solo exhibition is scheduled for November 2023. \n* Talya Baharal – statement. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Opening Reception | Camille Billops: Mirror\, Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Camille Billops\nMirror\, Mirror\nFebruary 16 – March 25\, 2023\nOpening reception: February 16\, 2023\, 6:00-8:00 pm \nRYAN LEE is pleased to announce Mirror\, Mirror\, a solo exhibition of works by the multidisciplinary artist\, filmmaker\, and activist Camille Billops. Featuring a series of ceramic mirrors\, etchings\, and drawings\, this is the first significant solo presentation of Billops’s later work. \nInfused with experiences of travels abroad\, including globally informed artistic practices\, Billops first began forging space for her art and activism in the 1960s in New York. A pioneering member of the emerging black artists movement\, her work and activism were entwined\, engaging with civil rights alongside exclusionary systems of the art industry at large.  Throughout her life\, her artwork drew from these themes\, from the ever-presence of racism to gender dynamics\, black culture\, and personal narrative and history. \n “All my work is about the celebration of family\, my private stories and personal vision\,” shared Billops in a 1985 interview published in ISSUE\, A Journal for Artists. Referencing the Kaohsiung drawings – originally made in Kaohsiung\, Taiwan\, three of which are featured in this exhibition – she shares that the characters are in fact her and her husband\, James V. Hatch\, after a “magnificent fight.” \nBillops was not only comfortable turning the intimate outward\, she was strategic about it\, using exposé as a tactic to confront the follies and failures of life\, and resolutely unafraid to include her own. For a 2012 show\, Billops had commented that her art is “about ‘victory over obscurity and ignorance\, and confirmation of herself.’” In this sense\, we are able to grasp a fuller picture of the artist\, whose activism and committed preservation of black arts and culture is as large a part of her legacy and impact as her work is. Her output\, holistically\, is perseverance – at once personal and collective. \nBillops’s sense of self-confirmation through self-portraiture\, refrained in the Kaohsiung drawings\, is inherent to the nature of her later mirror series. Begun in the early 2000s and completed in 2011\, these metaphorically reflective works are likewise literal presentations of the viewer\, placing us squarely within the contexts of the frame. \n In some\, the mirrors’ ceramic-frame illustrations are figurative\, as in Untitled (Checkered) (2003)\, where cartoonish characters engage in a mock-Americana tableau evoking a realm of behaviors from suspicious to blithe. In White Woman with US Flags (2011)\, the denotation may be more literal\, but the style breaks molds with its looseness of form\, as variously proportioned pieces of ceramic dance across the frame. The artwork is detailed with American flags placed amidst the other ceramic pieces\, each painted with a shadowy fist raised in silhouette against the stripes. \nAlso included are her Mondo Negro series of lithographs. This presentation of works\, shown together for the first time\, honors Billops’s canonical output as an artist-activist. In five variations\, Billops portrays in bold\, slanting lines\, characters and snakes at times falling and at times burning in abstracted landscapes portraying a “black world.”  The series continues to bring her perceptive artwork into conversation not only with its own multimedia contexts\, but also with those broader contexts that are presciently resonant within them.  \n  Save

DESCRIPTION:Join us for arts & crafts inspired by the exhibition\, “Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul”! \nJoin us in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries’ SmArt Classroom for arts & crafts designed for ages 4-10. Children will learn about various weaving techniques\, inspired by the exhibition Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul\, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries January 27 – April 8\, 2023. \nActivities will include: \n\nWeaving with looms\nMaking 3D vessels out of string\nMaking collages\nGallery activities\n\nPlease note: This event is in-person only.

Example: 1 ticket=1 child. \nVideo tutorials are available via email request. \nAbout the exhibition: Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul is a solo exhibition surveying the artist’s four-decade engagement with the physical and symbolic properties of thread. Minkowitz reinvents traditional needlework by crocheting fantastical forms\, coating them in resin and shellac to create rigid sculptures and hangings. The delicate\, mesh-like surfaces of her artworks break down oppositions between soft and hard\, inside and outside\, body and soul. \nThe poetic title Body to Soul  is borrowed from just one of the sculptures that will be on view\, but it is a broader theme that reverberates across the exhibition’s selection of over thirty vessels\, sculptures\, wall hangings\, wearables\, and works on paper – including never-before-seen examples coming from the artist’s studio. \nNorma Minkowitz lives and works in Connecticut. Her work is represented in private and public collections across the United States and internationally. She is unique among fiber artists creating hard sculptures from soft materials\, and for using thread to invoke universal themes of mortality\, memory\, nature\, and writing. The exhibition is guest curated by Sarah Parrish PhD.\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Plymouth State University\, New Hampshire. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/norma-minkowitz/ \n  \nImage: Norma Minkowitz\, Chrysalis\, 2004\, wood\, fiber\, paint\, resin.

SUMMARY:BAAHNG SPOTLIGHT  | With R.C. Baker & Sharon Butler
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Baahng Gallery invites you to a discussion about America — past\, present\, and future. Artists R.C. Baker and Sharon Butler will delve into the ways their work grapples with today’s digital miasma\, as well as what culture critic Greil Marcus famously termed “the old\, weird\, America.” In Butler’s Idiomerica series\, painted pixels collide with inkjet prints of household tools\, layered images that conjure the capitalist sprawl of the suburbs. In his series The Terminal Century\, Baker’s psychedelically bright\, painted collages imagine how the Blues and the Bomb bookended history’s most — at least\, so far — violent century. \nIn all of the works on view in this group show\, PITCHES & SCRIPTS\, beauty blooms from dross and calamity alike in narratives of power\, race\, politics\, solitude\, and entropy. Come and ask questions\, and see if the artists’ answers are as trenchant as the works on the wall. \nR.C. Baker is the Editor-in-Chief of the Village Voice and is a Visiting Artist in the MFA Studio Art program at NYU Steinhardt. The founder of the blogazine Two Coats of Paint\, Sharon Butler is Adjunct Faculty in the MFA program at the University of Connecticut. \nSeating for this event is limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Meet Me at the Museums: An Edible\, Ethnographic Engagement with Victor Grippo’s Analogia I
DESCRIPTION:Victor Grippo’s Analogia I is a quietly powerful piece that embodies concerns central to the artist: everyday foods\, recurring elements\, energy\, measurement\, as well as the collective consciousness and its potential. The edible protagonist in the piece—the potato—deserves a special spotlight. Metonym and meal\, the potato offers an opportunity to look more closely at the historical entanglement between humans and nature. \nWhether purposefully or not\, Analogia I calls attention to how we take our food for granted and the forgetfulness that occurs as soon as we take something grown for consumption from the grocery store shelf. What happens to the lowly spuds that power this piece every day? In this era of growing awareness of food waste reduction\, can the core ideas that animate Analogia I be harnessed to complete new circuits of meaning and value? \nMeet Me at the Museums is a new series of talks given by our campus partners\, lenders\, and students. The series widens the circle of our gallery talk offerings\, allowing for a richer diversity of viewpoints\, surprising interdisciplinary connections and research\, and unique perspectives about our collections and exhibitions. \nLed by:\nDr. Gavin Whitelaw\, Executive Director\, Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, and Lecturer\, Harvard University \n  Save

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk: From the Andes to the Caribbean: American art from the Spanish Empire

Ballard for an in-depth discussion about one of the works in the exhibition De los Andes al Caribe: El arte americano desde el imperio español/From the Andes to the Caribbean: American Art from the Spanish Empire\, on view until July 30\, 2023. Ballard will share insights about the ways in which the idea of “America” and the canon of American art are inseparable from the histories of Spanish colonialism across the hemisphere. \nFeaturing nearly 50 objects from the Harvard Art Museums collections and the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation\, the exhibition explores how American material and mineral wealth fueled global trade\, changed the course of visual history\, and has had an impact on modern politics that continues today. \n  Save
