SUMMARY:Gallery Talk: Hannah Höch’s Critical Photomontage
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, curator Lynette Roth examines a newly acquired photomontage by Berlin Dadaist Hannah Höch. In Ancient Runners Frieze (1930)\, Höch juxtaposes images of African\, Egyptian\, and European people and art objects culled from illustrated magazines and newspapers to call attention to gender stereotypes and the pervasiveness of racist and colonialist ideas in interwar Germany and in the history of art more generally. The work is currently on view in Gallery 1440 as part of our ReFrame initiative. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Virtual Art in Focus: Norma Minkowitz\, “Goodbye Goddess”
DESCRIPTION:Our Virtual Art in Focus series offers the opportunity for a close look at a single work of art\, all from the comfort of your home! \nJoin us for a discussion of “Goodbye Goddess\,” a mixed-media work by Norma Minkowitz and part of the temporary exhibition “Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul\,” on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from January 27 – April 6\, 2023. Bring your questions and observations to our virtual discussion! \nPlease note: This event is virtual only. If you are interested in the in-person Art in Focus on Thursday\, March 2 at 11 a.m.\, click here! \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/ \nImage: Norma Minkowitz\, “Goodbye Goddess\,” 2003\, paint and resin on fiber.

SUMMARY:4th Friday Art Shows and Opening Reception @ Art Works!
DESCRIPTION:Three artists\, three mediums\, three different styles. In February Cary Loving shows us how to view nature in a different way. Lizzie Brown in her exhibit\, using color and portraiture she deconstructs the false perceptions associated with African Americans. And Scott Tilghman provides an exhibit with a new style of mosaics. The monthly All Media Show features Virginia artists—a juried show. Join us on February 24th\, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. for the opening reception. Meet the artists and enjoy live music. Parking is free. The exhibits continue through March 18\, 2023. This event is free and open to the public. \n Becoming by Cary Loving\nThe artist invites you to see Nature in a different way. Instead of literal or realistic depiction\, there is fantasy and mystery: the human merges with the bird\, the owl is mute while the forest whispers\, enigmatic narratives are implied. Loving presents clay and mixed media sculpture\, along with paintings and layered cyanotype photographs. \n  \nThis exhibit will be in the Jane Sandelin Gallery. \n  \nIn Full Color by Lizzie Brown\nLizzie Brown is a Richmond native and alumni of Virginia Commonwealth University\, where she earned a dual degree in Painting/Printmaking and Art Education. Through her art she considers the misconceptions centered around people of color. Looking to biblical and spiritual references\, she depicts the beauty\, resilience\, and strength of African American men\, women\, and children through the use of color blocked and/or highly rendered portraiture. The physical act of layering and blending paint and/or use of shape and color to construct form\, symbolically blur and deconstruct the false perceptions associated with African Americans. This exhibit is a collection of paintings that serve as a renewed image of black people in all their colors. \nA former art educator\, she became the owner of From The Core Art Studio in fall of 2021\, in order to pursue her creative endeavors\, while continuing to share and foster a love for art with youth. She has been displaying her work in galleries and spaces throughout Richmond\, D.C.\, and Maryland\, working in conjunction with the Mending Walls Project\, vending at various pop-up markets in surrounding areas\, and leading art experiences and camps for youth. Lizzie’s connection to creating and teaching art is a form of ministry. This exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery. \nScott Tilghman Recent Works \nScott Tilghman received a BA in Fine Arts Management with a Studio Art minor at Randolph Macon College in 1986. In 2014\, he rededicated himself to art\, creating regularly\, and encouraging others to do the same\, by founding the Hillians Art League for artists \nto meet\, work and exchange ideas. Scott has developed a mosaic style that translates the colors that mingle in his imagination into bright tesserae\, forming still-life’s\, landscapes\, nudes\, portraits\, and abstract compositions. Bold color combinations command attention\, and the works compel viewers to enjoy multiple perspectives. This exhibit will be in the Corner Gallery. \n  \nFebruary 2023 All Media Show\nThis exhibit is a focal point of all Art Works’ openings.  It is a juried show with cash prizes for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd place. The show is open to all artists and all mediums. There is no theme this month. Call for entries is January 1 – February13\, 2023. Submit your entries through our online form.  Check our website for details on submitting your artwork:  Call for Entries \n  Save

SUMMARY:Joe Rudko: Afterimage
DESCRIPTION:Davidson Gallery is pleased to present Afterimage\, a solo exhibition for visual artist Joe Rudko. Rudko’s work blends techniques of photography\, painting\, drawing\, and collage. Each new work is composed of found images – “forgotten photographs” as the artist terms them – which are then disassembled and meticulously rearranged to create rippling patterns and visual vibrations. \n  \nRudko’s process of photomontage is informed by the more traditional processes of quilting and mosaics\, but also by more modern digital forms of manipulation. In his use of photographs\, Rudko is coopting and repurposing other people’s uses of the medium as a means of remembrance and memorialization\, sometimes using the content or form as an outline or starting point for his own work\, and sometimes abstracting it beyond its own recognizability. The show’s title\, Afterimage\, refers to the perceived remnants on the retina of what is no longer visible; an afterimage itself is an illusion\, and can take the form of an outline\, color\, light\, or form. Much like a photograph\, afterimages can be negative or positive\, and vary widely in detail. Ultimately\, they are not accurate representations of what was. \n  \nThe source photographs for Afterimage were collected from the basements and attics of friends\, family\, and a variety of internet vendors. They are comprised of over a hundred years of printed photographs and their varied surfaces depict diverse subjects: a mountain landscape\, a resting hand\, a waterfall\, a camera flash\, or even an unfocused blur. Black and white prints are intertwined with color fragments from the 1990s\, and images are reversed to reveal product branding. Handwritten annotations such as “flowers”\, “me”\, and “genuine” are scattered across the surface\, adding a tactile and historical aspect to the work. The palette of recycled tones creates an alchemy of materials\, celebrating the photograph as a malleable document of memory\, ever-changing in response to the present moment. \n  \nJoe Rudko lives and works in Seattle. His work is in the permanent collection of The Getty Museum\, Portland Art Museum\, Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, Tacoma Art Museum\, and most recently in the Morgan Library & Museum in New York. He received his BFA in Photography and Drawing from Western Washington University in 2013. This is his third solo exhibition with Davidson Gallery. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Taha Heydari: Loom
DESCRIPTION:GAVLAK Palm Beach is pleased to announce Loom\, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Taha Heydari. Loom represents the culmination of Heydari’s engagement with Persian rugs as a paradoxical embodiment of transcendental authority and quotidian materiality. Displaced from their conventional settings\, Heydari’s ornately painted rugs appear suspended in a dystopian twilight in which they unravel\, revealing narratives which had been lost between the fibers. An artist talk with Taha Heydari and Asma Naeem\, the Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director at the Baltimore Museum of Art will take place on Saturday\, February 18th at 4 pm\, coinciding with the opening reception for the exhibition from 4 to 6 pm. Loom will be on view from February 9 – March 5\, 2023 at GAVLAK’s Palm Beach location. \nWith the Persian rug\, Heydari returns to the site where he spent much of his life as a child and young adult living in Iran. The rug literally grounds the lives of individuals\, families\, and Iran itself\, embedding and sealing these memories within its warps and wefts. It is mundane in its ubiquity across all spaces of Iranian life\, yet mystified in its status as a historically loaded and culturally revered object. As Heydari learned as a young student of classical Persian miniature painting\, traditional crafts are performed under highly structured processes. These objects transcend their own materiality and become sacred and impenetrable. Heydari understands this transcendence as a product of ideology\, which conceals its own construction in the overlooked details of the everyday. \nIn Loom\, interwoven threads of meticulously painted rugs emulate the texture of the canvas itself\, insisting on the rugs’ fragile materiality in spite of their storied cultural history and enduring presence in Iran. But the detailed quality of these surfaces also evokes the immaterial. Aligning weaving with coding\, their geometric patterns and grids—typical of traditional gabbeh textiles—recall eight-bit video game graphics. Warps and wefts operate like zeroes and ones. Still\, in keeping with the “glitched” imagery that is the consistent hallmark of Heydari’s painting practice\, these codes seem to break down\, producing tatters and loose threads which take on an uncanny bodiliness. \nBy performing an “autopsy” on the Persian rug\, Heydari reveals its internal structure and breaks the illusion of wholeness which similarly enshrines ideology. In his paintings\, some rugs appear partially intact while others have been reduced to shreds. Bodies begin to emerge from behind these fragments\, in some instances becoming entangled in their sinewy fibers. The flatness of the painted rugs interrupts the nebulous depth which envelopes the figures and drags them downward. These scenes seem to pour out from the splintering threads\, much like dust and detritus beaten out from rugs that have been strung up for cleaning. The obscured yet recurring motif of crawling infants signals a new\, constantly unfolding present and a critical shift in perspective. Under the looming weight of time\, Heydari’s painted rugs crumble and unravel. \nWritten by Maura Callahan \n  Save

SUMMARY:Lecture: Art Stars of the Italian Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:How did Michelangelo\, Leonardo da Vinci\, Botticelli\, Raphael\, and Caravaggio win fame and commissions during their lifetime? What role did the Renaissance biographer Georgio Vasari play in perpetuating their posthumous reputations? Why is the Mona Lisa so famous? What role did modern biographical novels and biopic films such as The Agony and the Ecstasy (by Irving Stone\, 1961) play in making these artists household names? Has effusive reproductions of these works in books\, posters and on the internet increased their appeal while overshadowing their artistry? Dr. Ruggiero will address these topics and more. \nThis lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Picturing Fame: From Toulouse-Lautrec to Today.   \nSaturday\, February 18\, 2023 at 3 pm \nFree for members; $15 for non members \nLecture ticket grants free day-of Museum admission \nPresented in the NSU Art Museum Horvitz Auditorium  \n  Save

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:Family Day: Fantastical Fibers
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. Space is limited. If you are unable to attend\, please let us know via email: museum@fairfield.edu \nTicket options: Space is limited–please select Session 1 OR Session 2 and register with how many children are attending. 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: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

SUMMARY:Michael Rosenfeld Gallery at Frieze Los Angeles 2023
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of our inaugural presentation at Frieze LA last year\, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is pleased to return to Los Angeles with a solo exhibition of works by Bob Thompson (1937–1966) organized in complement to the recent traveling retrospective Bob Thompson: This House Is Mine\, which concluded its nationwide tour at UCLA’s Hammer Museum in January. The gallery’s presentation at Frieze LA 2023 constitutes Michael Rosenfeld Gallery’s fifth show on Thompson and our first solo exhibition of the artist since acquiring the estate in 2019. The presentation at Frieze serves as a preview to an upcoming solo exhibition of the artist’s work that will be on view from April 1–May 26\, 2023\, in the gallery’s ground floor space in Chelsea.  \nSixteen major paintings and over thirty works on paper are on view at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery’s Booth A15\, constituting a succinct\, vibrant survey of Thompson’s visionary oeuvre. The works on view were executed between 1958\, the year the artist moved to New York\, and 1966\, the year he passed away in Rome\, providing a compelling synopsis of Thompson’s career. Both our Frieze presentation and the upcoming gallery show include works that have not been publicly exhibited in decades as well as several works that appeared in This House is Mine. \nIn a tragically brief life\, Bob Thompson created a complex body of work structured by his own symbolic lexicon\, fauvist palettes\, and compositional devices drawn from the European Old Master tradition. As inspired by the improvisational riffs of jazz as he was by the formal tropes of Goya\, Poussin\, and Tintoretto\, Thompson’s viscerally executed paintings conjure a psychedelic allegory of his own experience. Often set in a pastoral countryside or dense woodlands\, Thompson’s scenes are populated by Madonnas and saints\, monstrous birds\, anthropomorphic donkeys\, shadowy men in fedoras\, and much\, much more. During the years he lived in New York\, the artist was deeply immersed in the avant-garde scene of Manhattan’s Lower East Side\, participating in Fluxus happenings\, befriending Beatniks such as Allen Ginsberg and LeRoi Jones\, and frequenting the city’s legendary jazz clubs\, including the 5 Spot and Slugs’ Saloon. \nA chance encounter with the work of German Expressionist Jan Müller (1922–1958) in the summer of 1958 set Thompson on a path to his mature style; Müller’s raw\, flatly rendered allegorical paintings were a revelation to Thompson\, and he sought out the artist’s widow Dodi Müller\, to learn more; she advised him to eschew extended study of contemporary art in favor of close consideration of the Old Masters. Thompson subsequently took advantage of every opportunity to sketch the works of Old and Modern masters in the U.S.\, visiting the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia and frequenting The Metropolitan Museum of Art. He also took several long sojourns in Europe with the aid of travel grants and\, after his career took off\, his own funds. Sketching daily at the Louvre and various historical sites in Spain and Italy provided the artist with a seemingly infinite supply of fodder for his increasingly complex and monumental compositions.  \nThe paintings and drawings on view at Frieze LA collectively represent the richness of Thompson’s oeuvre\, portraying myriad subjects and converging a broad range of art historical references. Among the sixteen works on canvas are Harvest Rest (1964) and The Golden Ass (1963)\, which reimagine Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Harvesters (1565) and a scene from Francisco de Goya’s Los Caprichos (1797–99)\, respectively. Among the selection of works on paper will be Thompson’s spontaneous line drawings of various musicians he observed at the downtown jazz venues he haunted\, including Cannonball Adderley\, Art Blakey\, Bob Cranshaw\, John Ore\, and Sonny Rollins. \n“Thompson understood the power of the works he used and their place in the history of art\,” writes curator Thelma Golden in the text accompanying Thompson’s 1998 retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American art\, which she and Judith Wilson curated. “Western art offered him something which he assumed was his right to use freely. He was also clear about his desire to make these works his own: inflect their vocabulary with his grammar; infuse the agreed-upon meanings with his intention. To claim them. To signify. …Thompson’s art lay not simply in the restatement\, but in the revision and replacement of these familiar passages—a philosophy that brings him into a direct affinity with his jazz musician contemporaries as well as with an entire generation of African American artists who followed his strategy.”   \nCurated by Diana Tuite for the Colby College Museum of Art (Waterville\, ME)\, Bob Thompson: This House Is Mine garnered widespread acclaim throughout its four-city national tour. The exhibition was the first solo exhibition of Thompson’s work at a museum since the 1998 Whitney show. Following its opening at the Colby Museum in July 2021\, This House is Mine traveled to the Smart Museum in Chicago\, the High Museum in Atlanta and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. A beautifully designed\, fully illustrated catalogue published in association with Yale University Press features an impressive group of contributors\, including curators Lowery Stokes Sims and Robert Cozzolino; art historians Adrienne L. Childs\, Bridget R. Cooks\, Jacqueline Francis\, and George Nelson Preston; and artists Henry Taylor\, Alex Katz\, and Rashid Johnson.  \nMichael Rosenfeld Gallery’s relationship with the work of Bob Thompson dates to 1996\, when the gallery took on representation of the estate and mounted Bob Thompson: Heroes\, Martyrs & Spectres at our 57th Street location. Three more solo exhibitions followed: Fantastic Visions (1999)\, Meteor in a Black Hat (2005)—which traveled to the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University in Milwaukee—and Naked at the Edge: Bob Thompson\, which opened at the gallery’s current Chelsea location in 2015. The gallery published accompanying catalogues for the first three exhibitions\, featuring texts by the artist’s widow Carol Thompson and jazz critic Stanley Crouch. Following twenty-three years of representation\, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery acquired the Estate of Bob Thompson in 2019\, a monumental procurement that included all remaining works in the family’s possession\, numerous artist sketchbooks\, and the artworks’ intellectual property rights. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Writing on Still Life
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive online session\, led by art history graduate students Alejandro Octavio Nodarse (Harvard University) and Sara Petrilli-Jones (Yale University and Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa)\, we will look closely at a still-life drawing by Margaretha de Heer\, called Still Life of Flowers and Small Animals on a Ledge (1642). Together\, we will consider the relationship between looking\, describing\, and imagining. Prompted by De Heer’s drawing\, we will ask a series of questions: how might such a work engage our senses? What responses—individual and collective—does it elicit? How has the artist’s gender played a role in the creation and reception of the work? All participants will be invited to share their responses through conversation and writing. \n  Save
