SUMMARY:Pursuing Knowledge of Artists’ Materials Production and Conservation Expertise as War Booty
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Morwenna Blewett\, paintings conservator and associate member of Worcester College at the University of Oxford\, will explore the role of representatives of British color manufacturers Winsor & Newton\, Ltd.\, and George Rowney & Company\, who spent nearly a month in Germany attempting to gain knowledge of German art materials in order to improve their own. \nBlewett will also discuss how new research reveals that some of the most august art institutions in London\, the National Gallery and the Courtauld Institute of Art among them\, made every effort to profit from expertise gathered from a professor named Kurt Wehlte. They sought his knowledge about art materials\, conservation\, and teaching—despite the significant roles he played in the National Socialist genocidal and totalitarian regime. \nSpeaker:\nMorwenna Blewett is a paintings conservator and an associate member of Worcester College at the University of Oxford. She trained as a conservator at the Courtauld Institute in London and has served as a conservation fellow in the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies at the Harvard Art Museums; the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester\, Massachusetts; Worcester College at the University of Oxford; and the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. She has worked as a paintings conservator at the National Galleries of Scotland\, the National Gallery in London\, and the Hamilton Kerr Institute at the University of Cambridge. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nThe lecture will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors to the hall will open for seating at 5:45pm. \nLimited complimentary parking is available in the Broadway Garage\, 7 Felton Street\, Cambridge. \n  Save

SUMMARY:27th Annual Do It Your Damn Self!! National Youth Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the premiere screening of Community Art Center’s 27th Annual Do It Your Damn Self!! National Youth Film Festival\, the longest-running youth film festival in the country. A panel discussion with the teen filmmakers and a short reception in the Calderwood Courtyard will follow the screening. \nCommunity Art Center has served residents of the Port neighborhood in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, since 1937. The organization ensures that youth in the neighborhood have the same access to arts experiences as the youth of other communities in Cambridge. The center became known as a space for young people to explore creative expression and build their narrative storytelling abilities. In 1996\, six teen girls at the center decided they’d had enough of the lack of representation and the misrepresentation they were seeing in the media. They picked up cameras and began to tell their own stories\, creating a film festival that is hyperlocal but has a national reach. \nThe film screening will begin at 6pm in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open for seating at 5:30pm at the Broadway entrance. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited. You can register by clicking on the event on this form\, beginning Wednesday\, May 8\, after 10am. Walk-in visitors are always welcome\, if space allows. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Luis Cruz Azaceta: Loose Screws 1974-1989
DESCRIPTION:George Adams Gallery is pleased to present Loose Screws: 1974-1989 a survey of works on paper and \npaintings by Luis Cruz Azaceta\, on view from June 6 through August 9\, 2024. This is Azaceta’s \nseventeenth exhibition with the gallery. George Adams will host an opening reception for the artist on \nThursday\, June 6\, from 6 to 8 PM. \n  \nLuis Cruz Azaceta (b. 1942) was born in Havana\, Cuba\, and experienced the violence of the Cuban \nrevolution before emigrating to New York at 18 in 1959. He worked odd jobs and studied\, earning a BFA \nfrom the School of Visual Arts in 1969. Azaceta’s early work\, characterized by cartoon-like caricatures\, \naddressed the moral and ethical issues of the time\, focusing on urban violence with the intention of \ninspiring empathy: “The vehicle for compassion is the aesthetic that draws one into looking closely at \nwhat are\, perhaps\, sometimes horrific subjects and embracing them.” He used humor to mask the \natrocities he witnessed in New York. \n  \nIn 1975\, Azaceta debuted with his “Subway Series” at Allan Frumkin Gallery in “New Talent”\, depicting \nthe New York City subway and its passengers as animal-like creatures shaped by an unsympathetic \nenvironment. His colorful palette almost distracts from the grim subjects\, such as dismembered limbs in a \nhotdog box in Ji Ji Ji Express (1974-75) or the figures hanging from nooses in No Parking Any Time \n(1978)\, creating a “tragi-comic outcry at Man’s Condition.” Azaceta’s work\, influenced by both his \nexperiences in Cuba and New York\, was violent and rough\, often compared critically to Goya and \nDaumier\, coming out of a tradition of cartoon-like social commentary. His 1979 solo debut with Allan \nFrumkin focused on the brutality of city life\, leading the New York Post to title their review “Canvas filled \nwith terror.” \n  \nThroughout the 1980s\, Azaceta’s work continued to tackle the dark realities of inner-city life\, emphasizing \nthe experiences of marginalized people. He developed a raw\, expressionistic style of painting on a \nmassive scale to channel the anguish and fear around him. In 1987\, in response to the growing crisis of \nAIDS\, Azaceta began making paintings directly addressing the senseless loss of the epidemic. Over the \nnext few years\, he completed several works directly addressing the disease – bleakly illustrating the toll in \nhuman lives through piles of skulls and ticking clocks seen in The Plague: Aids Epidemic (1987). He \nutilized a humanistic and sympathetic approach\, where often his figures are self-portraits. By equating \nhimself with those affected\, his message is one of empathy. \n  \nLuis Cruz Azaceta currently lives and works in New Orleans. Azaceta has exhibited internationally and \nwas the subject of a career retrospective organized by the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora\, \nMiami in 2016. He has been the recipient of several major grants and awards including a Guggenheim \nMemorial Foundation Grant in 1985\, a Mid-Atlantic Grant for special projects in 1989\, and a Joan Mitchell \nFoundation Grant in 2009. His work is included in major public collections such as the Metropolitan \nMuseum of Art\, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; the Museum of Modern Art\, New York; the \nBlanton Museum of Art\, Austin; El Museo del Barrio\, New York; the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, \nWashington DC; the Crocker Art Museum\, Sacramento; and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo\, \nMonterrey\, Mexico\, among others. \n  Save

SUMMARY:UNDERSTORY Recent Work by Melissa Rubin
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 28th through Saturday\, June 15th\, 2024 \nOpening reception: Saturday\, June 1st\, 2:00-5:00pm \nAtlantic Gallery is very pleased to present the solo exhibition UNDERSTORY: Recent Work by Melissa Rubin. Melissa’s second solo exhibition at Atlantic Gallery\, UNDERSTORY will feature works ranging from 2021-24. \nUNDERSTORY is an ode to a place that simply still exists; it is a meditative\, emotional and visual study of the natural environment where Melissa Rubin lives and works\, in southeastern Vermont. The world below the canopy of the trees\, the understory\, is teeming with life and decay. The layers of raw materials become deep inspiration for her imagery and approach to creating her art. Melissa’s work is comprised of many layers of papers\, monoprints\, paints\, and various organic materials\, such as wax\, powdered pigments\, dried grasses\, branches\, carbon\, ash\, silver leaf\, marble dust and clay. Evocative of forest underlayers\, the imagery alludes to entangled\, interconnected webs of trees\, branches\, membranes\, neural networks\, flowing springs\, as well as the infinite night sky of Vermont. The understory can also be utilized in a literary sense; it is the architecture that undergirds\, gives meaning to\, and supports a story. Like the world below the canopy\, it is moveable and fluid. In addition to the physical environment\, Melissa’s work reflects the expansive\, psychological experience of space. Exploring the terrain and its impact on her relationship to the environment\, Melissa creates pictorial references to textures\, branches\, decay\, and growth\, all woven together to form a depiction of her outer and inner landscape. The media she uses functions as her personal vocabulary of expression\, as proxy to emotional states of mind. She consciously works with materials that help to facilitate a sense of light\, darkness\, mystery\, and possibility. \n\nMelissa Rubin\, a New York-based artist for over 3 decades\, recently relocated to Vermont. Her art has been featured in ARTnews Magazine\, Encaustic Arts Magazine\, Wax Fusion\, and on CBS This Morning. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions. The most recent venues to show her work are Atlantic Gallery\, NYC;  Carter-Burden Gallery\, NYC; John Molloy Gallery\, NYC; MAPSpace\, Port Chester\, NY; Pelham Art Center\, Pelham\, NY; Canal Street Art Gallery\, Bellows Falls\, VT. Melissa has been awarded grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the New York Foundation for the Arts and she received a Fulbright Teacher Fellowship to Japan.

SUMMARY:Dorothy Dehner: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nBERRY CAMPBELL PRESENTS DOROTHY DEHNER: A RETROSPECTIVE\nMay 23  – June 22\, 2024 \nNEW YORK\, NEW YORK: Berry Campbell is pleased to present a retrospective of paintings\, drawings\, and sculptures by Dorothy Dehner (1901-1994). Dorothy Dehner: A Retrospective weaves together the story of Dehner’s seventy-year artistic career starting in the 1930s and culminating with several large-scale monumental sculptures from the 1980s and 1990s. This is the first exhibition of this scope and depth on Dehner since a retrospective at the Cleveland Museum of Art\, Ohio\, in 1995. \nThe exhibition begins with an early oil painting of a still life from 1936 and continues with a series iconic ink and watercolor abstract drawings from the 1940s and 1950s using a “wet on wet” technique.  Dorothy Dehner was married to the noted sculptor\, David Smith\, until their divorce in 1950.  While in the marriage\, she felt there could only be one sculptor\, and so it was not until 1952 that she gained the success\, freedom\, and confidence to dare to experiment in new media and her focus shifted entirely to sculpture. This exhibition will feature several early sculptures from the 1950s and 1960s\, mostly created with the lost wax process. \nAn entire gallery will be devoted to her rarely known series of assemblages from the 1970s called I Ching. Louise Nevelson introduced Dehner to John Cage\, whose sounds and theories influenced this body of work. Untitled (I Ching) is totemic in feel\, made from thin wood pieces placed together in rhythmic patterns. Towards the end of her career\, Dehner started working with fabricators to fulfill her dream of making large-scale sculpture. The centerpiece to the exhibition is one the largest she ever created called Prelude and Fugue from 1989\, standing over eight feet tall and eight feet wide made from painted black steel. Demeter’s Harrow (1990) is a large-scale playful sculpture created by connecting geometric forms made from Corten Steel. \nJoan M. Marter\, Ph.D.\, President of the Dorothy Dehner Foundation\, through her research and writing has placed Dehner in the context of other Abstract Expressionists resulting in many recent accolades. In 2023\, Dehner was the feature article in the Woman’s Art Journal\, “Dorothy Dehner and the Women Sculptors Among the Abstract Expressionists\,” which discusses Dehner’s close friendship with Louise Nevelson. Dehner has been included in numerous group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, most recently in Making Space: Women Artists and Postwar Abstraction (2017). Dehner’s totemic sculpture “Encounter” is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art\, New York. \nDehner is situated in the canon of Abstract Expressionist sculptors alongside Nevelson\, Louise Bourgeois\, Herbert Ferber\, Ibram Lassaw\, David Hare\, and David Smith. Her work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, Metropolitan Museum of Art\, National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Storm King Art Center\, The British Museum\, and Dresden Museum\, among many others. Berry Campbell represents the Dorothy Dehner Foundation. \nDorothy Dehner: A Retrospective is on view at Berry Campbell from May 23 through June 22\, 2024\, with an opening reception on Thursday\, May 30\, 2024\, from 6 to 8 p.m.  The exhibition is accompanied by a 64-page\, fully illustrated catalogue with an introduction by Joan M. Marter\, Ph.D. and a full-length essay by Sophie Lachowsky. The gallery will host a panel discussion led by Dr. Marter on Saturday\, June 1 at 3 p.m. \nGallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. or by request. For further information please call the gallery at 212.924.2178 or visit us online at berrycampbell.com. For press inquiries\, please contact berrycampbell@suttoncomms.com or call 212.202.3402. \nABOUT THE GALLERY\nChristine Berry and Martha Campbell opened Berry Campbell Gallery in Chelsea\, New York\, ten years ago. The gallery has a fine-tuned program representing artists of post-war American painting that have been underrepresented or neglected\, particularly the women of Abstract Expressionism. Since its inception\, the gallery has developed a strong emphasis in research to bring to light artists overlooked due to age\, race\, gender\, or geography. This unique perspective has been increasingly recognized by curators\, collectors\, and the press. \nIn 2022\, Berry Campbell moved to 524 W 26th Street\, one of the most prestigious blocks in Chelsea. The 9\,000 square foot space was previously inhabited by art world icons such as Paula Cooper Gallery and Robert Miller Gallery. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Hunt Slonem | HUNT
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Madison Gallery presents the legendary Hunt Slonem in his ninth solo exhibition in Southern California. Internationally recognized painter\, sculptor\, and printmaker\, Slonem’s work has been exhibited in more than 350 institutions worldwide\, and is represented in over 250 museums\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Solomon R. Guggenheim\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York City. Madison Gallery invites you to the highly anticipated exhibition titled\, “HUNT”\, celebrating the iconic\, whimsical\, and significant works by renowned Hunt Slonem. \nThe Artist will be participating in an Artist Talk from 6 – 8 PM and will be signing the latest copy of his book “The Spirited Homes of Hunt Slonem”. Capsule summaries of the artist’s idiosyncratic interior design style\, “The Spirited Homes of Hunt Slonem” is about how Slonem employs color\, arranges an abundance of antique furniture\, and exhibits his own paintings with scores of historic portraits. “My homes are my life’s work – making old houses into a new form of my art\,” says Hunt Slonem in his preface. “More is more” is a fit adage for what this book reveals. \nInspired by nature and his 60 pet birds\, Hunt Slonem is best known for his distinct Neo-Expressionist oil paintings of bunnies\, butterflies\, and the tropical birds in his personal aviary. His lavishly colored canvases are populated with birds rendered with thick brushstrokes. “I was influenced by Warhol’s repetition of soup cans and Marilyn\,” Slonem says. “But I’m more interested in doing it in the sense of prayer\, with repetition… It’s really a form of worship.” Hunt Slonem tends to embrace the ephemeral beauty of nature\, a characteristic that brings a nurturing\, spiritual effect to his creations. \n“I have always found our enigmatic and natural world to be deeply inspiring and have made it my life’s work to instill its beauty into my art and creative endeavors. As I study and admire the divinity of animal spirits and muses of varying forms\, my long-established painting practice continues to inform this novel undertaking. My strong attitude toward color and reverence for the mysticism of nature can be witnessed in my art.” Hunt Slonem \nSlonem exhibits regularly at both public and private venues around the world\, and has received numerous honors and awards\, including a MacDowell Fellowship and National Endowment for the Arts grant. Slonem’s works can be found in the permanent collections of more than 250 museums around the world\, including the Miro Foundation\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, the Whitney\, and the Guggenheim Museum. \nMadison Gallery was founded by Lorna York in 2001. The program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to San Diego for the first time. The core gallery program focuses on young and emerging artists\, but the gallery also punctuates the program with historical exhibitions to provide depth and context. Artists represented by Madison Gallery receive critical attention and are widely exhibited. Many of the gallery’s primary artists\, originally shown with Madison Gallery\, are now being shown internationally and by established galleries in other cities\, proving that the gallery has become a springboard for young talent. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour: Imagine Me and You
DESCRIPTION:Join exhibition curator Talitha Maria G. Schepers for an in-depth exploration of the exhibition Imagine Me and You: Dutch and Flemish Encounters with the Islamic World\, 1450–1750. \nDiscover what prompted Netherlandish artists to include everyday objects from the Islamic world\, like textiles and carpets\, in their paintings. Why did Rembrandt copy a Mughal painting? And what role did the tulip—a symbol of the Netherlands—play in Habsburg-Ottoman diplomacy? \nImagine Me and You (May 18–August 18\, 2024) explores the rich and diverse encounters that occurred between artists from the Low Countries (part of the Habsburg Empire) and the multicultural\, multilingual\, and multifaith societies of the Ottoman\, Safavid\, and Mughal empires from 1450 to 1750. A myriad of cultural\, diplomatic\, and mercantile interactions took place during this time\, either in person or through the exchange of objects\, art\, and ideas. The exhibition traces these multiple encounters through the world of Netherlandish artworks and their varied representations of the Islamic realm. \nLed by:\nTalitha Maria G. Schepers\, Stanley H.

SUMMARY:4th Friday Art Shows and Opening Reception @ Art Works!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a variety of experiences in May—including our first digital interactive exhibit. We have seen museums that provide visitors with the experience of interacting and becoming part of a work of art and it’s been our intention to present an exhibit of this kind.  On 4th Friday\, May 24th Art Works is giving Richmonders this experience as well as several other exhibitions. \n  \nOn May 10th we are hosting the annual Maggie Walker Governors School art exhibit. On May 12th we’ll have a special treat for Mother’s Day.  \n  \nDon’t forget to mark your calendar for the monthly Artists Meet-up hosted by RVA Thriving Artists at Benchtop Brewing and the open Figure Drawing Sessions on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at Art Works.  \n  \nAnd if you can’t make it to one of these events\, don’t worry – we’re open every day except Mondays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to come see the new art on display. Plus\, parking is easy at the public garage on East 5th Street. And we’ll validate your ticket\, just ask in the office. \n  \nBut that’s not all – make a day of it by exploring the restaurants in the area. Choose from Basic City Beer\, Continental\, Pig and Brew\, Jubilee\, Iron Clad Pizza\, and The Gold Lion for a delicious meal after your art adventure. \n  \nMay 10\, 2024 \nMaggie Walker Governor’s School Senior Art Exhibit \nThe annual Maggie Walker Governor’s School Senior Art Exhibit opens at Art Works on May 10th. Jeff Hall provides the inspiration and guidance for the visual art students at Maggie L. Walker where he supports a broad range of experiences in both two and three dimensions and a wide variety of media.   The students present their work at a reception on May 10th\, 6- 8 p.m.  The show continues through May 18\, 2024. The exhibit will be in the main gallery. \n  \n4th Friday May 24th at Art Works \nOn the evening of May 24\, 2024\, thanks to Katrina Walker and a host of visual and performing artists\, Richmond art lovers will experience digital\, interactive sculpture and a perfect storm of artwork\, dance\, and live music. What is digital interactive sculpture? The answer is: it depends. Like the theory of relativity\, it depends on where you stand—what you see is different from the person next to you\, or across the room from you. In this exhibit\, you will get a chance to immerse yourself in the exhibit—become integrated into art. \n  \nSpeaking of integration\, Mike Bily through his explorations of greenhouse conservatories discovered that as living beings\, plants can be interpreted as extensions of our environment or of ourselves. His exhibit\, Planet Plant: Taming the Wild shares the deeply personal mystery of plants. Mariia Svdidan brings us All the Things that Matter. Mark Eanes’ exhibit\, Endeavors opens.  And of course\, there is the monthly All Media Show—a focal point of 4th Fridays and showcases art by local artists. \n  \nJoin us on May 24th from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. for the opening reception. Meet the artists and enjoy live music\, refreshments and libations sponsored by RVA Thriving Artists. Parking is free. The exhibits continue through June 22nd. The event is free and open to the public. Parking is convenient and free. \n  \n  \nMirrors: The Intersection of Movement\, Music\, and Introspection curated by Katrina Walker \nWhat is digital interactive sculpture? The answer is: it depends. Like the theory of relativity\, it depends on where you stand—what you see is different from the person next to you\, or across the room from you. And not in a metaphorical way\, but the actual mechanics of your eyes and workings of the sculpture. But wait\, immerse yourself in the exhibit—become part of it. You will get a chance to have yourself projected and integrated\, becoming part of the artwork. \n  \nThis exhibit\, curated by Katrina Walker\, is an art exhibit featuring a digital\, interactive sculpture and (on opening night) a perfect storm of art\, dance\, and live music. \n  \nOne day Katrina Walker wrote down in detail a vision\, a dream that wouldn’t let her go. The symbolism of introspection inspired her so deeply that she wanted others to experience it. So\, to make the dream a reality\, she sought to bring gifted strangers with larger-than-life talent together for one night only. \n  \n  \nOn the evening of May 24th\, Richmond art lovers will experience an undeniably rare collaboration. The exhibit continues through June 22nd and visitors are invited to interact and create their own “reflections” and “see” themselves in a new way. \n  \nThe exhibit uses a theme of mirrors as a symbol of self-reflection and introspection. As you participate\, investigate the borderline and contrasts between digital and analog worlds\, the virtual and physical experience. Investigate order versus chaos. The first of this series\, Rozin’s Wooden Mirror explores the inner workings of image creation and human visual perception. \n  \nContributors are:\n  \nDanny Rozin\, an educator and award-winning artist\, creates awe-inspiring\, interactive sculptures and digital art. He is a professor at the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Fabian Almazan\, recently accepted into Harvard University\, is a grammy-nominated jazz pianist/composer who promotes the understanding of (and positive impact on) the interdependence and connectedness among humans and our planet. \n  \nRadio B is a revered emcee\, entrepreneur\, and purveyor of excellence. He builds organizations and platforms that entertain\, nurture artists’ growth\, and enrich hip-hop culture. \n  \nRoberto Whitaker aka Aero\, da Avatar\, a hip-hop artist/rapper\, and choreographer/dancer\, is a compelling storyteller who has danced with the Hiplet Ballerinas dance company\, the Latin Ballet of Virginia and with (and in tribute to) the renowned duo\, Les Twins. \n  \nKat Vivaldi is a talented artist and filmmaker with experience in feature films and a background in interactive digital art. \nTreen (organizer) developed a love for the arts at a young age in the public school system. She played in the symphonic band\, orchestra\, jazz band\, marching band\, the pit orchestra for plays/musicals\, sang in gospel choirs and continued music education in college (major in business/minor in music). \n  \nMary Puart is a Vaganova Ballet Academy graduate and has performed\, danced and choreographed all over the world. In her vlog\, Mary explores topics such as certain harmful aspects of ballet culture and extreme body standards. She is a compassionate advocate for a healthy (non-toxic) pursuit of artistry. \n  \nThe exhibit and experience will be in the Jane Sandelin Gallery. \nPlanet Plants: Taming the Wild by Mike Bily \nIn this exhibit Mike Bily takes us with him on an exploration of greenhouse conservatories. During the pandemic there was an upswing in the popularity of plants and gardens and so it was for Bily. Visiting a botanical conservatory during the fall and winter months shelters the visitor\, but the plantings and foliage present a striking contrast against the clear cerulean sky. The natural light through the pane glass is wonderful! Visual art naturally belongs in a vibrant garden conservatory. Mike Bily captured this in his paintings. \n  \nHe discovered that as living beings\, plants can be interpreted as extensions of our environment or of ourselves. Meanwhile\, the effects of climate change materialized in the form of wildfires and more frequent natural disasters. In an uncertain environment\, living material—or its likeness—has proven a useful medium with powerful creative imagery. \n  \nBily sees container plants as a metaphor for the way we try to constrain nature and present only the best version of it. Plants are mysterious\, but also deeply personal. Unlike other media of cultural creation\, we absorb them into our bodies\, and that allows them different recurrence of meaning for us. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Corner Gallery. \nAll the Things that Matter by Mariia Sveidan \nAll the Things That Matter is a journey of life. \n  \nMariia Sveidan describes this: \nBattling past pain\, inner demons\, depression\, and trauma. Going through a path of enlightenment\, you can see pain but at the same time there is the presence of hope and healing. Healing can have many colors; it can be in the form of blossoming flowers\, or a walk through a garden\, rich and flourishing. It’s a dance of the moon\, the sun and nature. After pain comes anger\, after anger comes acceptance\, afterwards comes the feeling of letting go\, then comes forgiveness\, until finally you are healed. Healing is a journey\, an emotional\, mental\, and spiritual one where all chakras have healed and found balance\, all traumas found peace\, where the heart has been purified and the third eye is beaming with light. That’s when the body and soul become one\, one unity\, one light\, one source. This exhibit is about my journey to attain hope\, healing\, peace and enlightenment\, with vibrant colors and expressive brush strokes.  \nAll the Things that Matter will be in the Centre Gallery. \nEndeavors by Mark Eanes \nMark Eanes is a painter\, printmaker\, photographer\, curator\, and educator who currently lives and works in Richmond\, Virginia. Prior to living in Virginia\, Mark lived in the Bay Area of California since 1970. He holds a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of California at Santa Barbara. Eanes is Professor Emeritus from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco\, where he taught drawing and painting courses for over thirty-three years.  His list of accomplishments is long and impressive: teaching at many art institutes\, chair of the Visual Arts Department at CalArts\, and conducting private lessons and workshops throughout California and Italy. \n  \nHe talks about his process. As a painter I’ve always enjoyed looking at the world in all its richness and complexity…then giving expression to those glimpses. However\, in recent years I have turned to photography as well – to exercise and strengthen another muscle for seeing. To capture a specific moment in time that no one else sees\, or will ever see\, is rewarding beyond words. Whenever I travel with the camera\, I feel alert\, awake\, and aware of all that is before me. My painting process consists of many layers…time and material. When I’m in the studio nothing else matters. Time is irrelevant. No plans for the future\, no past regrets. I’ll put on some great tunes turn it up loud and break out the color\, the tubes\, brushes\, and rags. Then enter a new piece with ferocity and abandon. After awhile…. I’ll sit back and just look. Turn the piece upside down\, then dive in again. I enjoy moving from knowing to not knowing. From reckless abandon to careful consideration. It is never boring or tedious for I feel as though I am always betting the house on the final outcome. My favorite moment is when the conversation is over. And that can take days\, weeks\, even months. But to know there is nothing more to be done\, that everything I could possibly say has been said\, and at last I can step away and think to myself\, it works. The exhibit will be in the Port Gallery. \n  \nMay 2024 ALL MEDIA ART SHOW  \nThis exhibit is a focal point of all Art Works’ openings.

SUMMARY:Imagine Me and You: A Conversation across Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening lecture for Imagine Me and You: Dutch and Flemish Encounters with the Islamic World\, 1450–1750. Curator Talitha Maria G. Schepers will first describe how the exhibition came about and share what went into the making of it. She will then be joined by three guest speakers\, who will each take a close look at a group of objects on view. Bringing together four distinct scholarly voices\, this lecture aims to reflect the multicultural representation visible throughout the exhibition. \nImagine Me and You (May 18–August 18\, 2024) explores the rich and diverse encounters that occurred between artists from the Low Countries (part of the Habsburg Empire) and the multicultural\, multilingual\, and multifaith societies of the Ottoman\, Safavid\, and Mughal empires from 1450 to 1750. A myriad of cultural\, diplomatic\, and mercantile interactions took place during this time\, either in person or through the exchange of objects\, art\, and ideas. The exhibition traces these multiple encounters through the world of Netherlandish artworks and their varied representations of the Islamic realm. \n  Save

DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Jason Hackenwerth: It’s Not That Serious \nVisit The Contemporary Art Modern Project on Saturday May 17th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm for a private tour and talk by painter Jason Hackenwerth. \nOne of the three artists featured in our current gallery exhibition\, It’s Not That Serious\, Hackenswerth works are made up of large expressive colors and sprinkled with phrases on canvas and paper. Curator Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco writes\, “Hackenwerth’s approach to painting is gestural\, with each piece functioning as unique collections of emotion and media on a massive scale. Hackenwerth uses anything from spray enamel\, to oil and acrylic paint\, or collage to evoke the serious-unseriousness of absurdist or avant-garde movements past…” \nCurated by Gabe Torres and Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco \nIt’s Not That Serious is available for viewing in our North Miami gallery at 791-793 NE 125th St. until May 31st\, 2024. For a catalog or to schedule a private viewing\, email hello@thecampgallery.com \nThe CAMP Gallery is open Tuesday–Saturday\, 12 to 5 PM. \nFor more information\, please reach out to hello@thecampgallery.com \n  \nThe Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery) \nThe Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery specializes in art advisory and contemporary art with a focus on emerging and mid-career artists working in: installation\, painting\, photography\, sculpture\, textiles\, and video art with a specific direction of both self and worldly reflection.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: 12 in 24
DESCRIPTION:12 in 24 \nGroup Exhibition\nWoodward Gallery \n60 Pine Street\, NYC at the Down Town Association\nOpening Reception: May 16\, 6-8pm\nOn view: April – July 2024 \nWoodward Gallery presents 12 in 24\, a powerful selection of work by 12 artists\, in the year 2024. For the first time\, this respected group will be exhibited together\, at the Down Town Association (60 Pine Street\, NYC). On a clockface\, there are 12 numbers\, with a total of 24 hours in a day. Through painting\, collage\, and sculpture\, the temporal pattern that unites these artworks together is how each Artist\, during a particular moment in their lives\, developed their art. By encouraging viewers to further examine their creations\, up close\, each of the 12 Artists reveal a hidden message for the curious to find. \nBy 1985\, Richard Hambleton found creative control of the weather with this magnificent\, fiery-red sunset\, over a stormy seascape. From his studio window\, he envisioned rain on a canvas\, developing a new painting technique to make weather last forever. \nSwedish Artist and comedian\, Peter Apelgren\, reveals his wit by the early 1990s. He satires a figure\, all alone at a wedding\, in a tropical location. \nIn the mid-1990s\, Dupont and Medvedz produced an exquisite corpse\, starting with a tapestry design of scenery\, leading to signal fires\, emanating from a village of homes and hope\, in one area\, with a radiant sun. This could be Anywhere. \nEarly in his art career\, Robert Medvedz combined design elements for the viewer to invent a narrative of their own\, from his relationship of painted symbols and collage.  \nSusan Breen initiated a series of work in 2007\, focusing on the universal need to heal and a visual representation of what that could look like. Influenced by Mandalic symbology\, botany\, physics\, Eastern philosophy\, and medicine\, her oil paintings encourage possibility and optimism\, where neither comes too freely. \nIn the late 2000s\, Robert Indiana wanted to encourage the next generation to stay strong in the face of the global challenges ahead. The word\, “HOPE\,” was a symbolic catalyst for change. With its forward-leaning “O\,” the word\, “HOPE\,” represents perseverance and pushing ahead toward a brighter future.  \nSabina Forbes II was inspired by the vitality\, development\, and the habitat of New York City life. Her combination of vivid color\, intricate patterns\, and dynamic texture evokes the endurance of positivity. \nIn 2016\, for muralist BK Foxx’s first solo gallery exhibition\, she painted a swan\, floating across the canvas with its wings confidently extended\, like a prize fighter. She’s a Featherweight. \nWhile in isolation\, during the 2020 global pandemic\, Moody hand-painted geometric abstractions. His joined circuits symbolically keep us connected\, even when we’re physically apart. \n Cosbe conveys the emotional complexity of understanding and accepting his child’s permanent health concerns\, through his signature\, frenetic style of instinctive painting. \nInspired by the six-fingered drawings of Andy Warhol and Sharon Stone’s infamous leg-crossing scene in the film\, Basic Instinct\, Alex Racine continued his study of the language of palmistry and incorporated these ideas into sculpted hands. \n Jose Aurelio Baez’s still-life flowers preserve his new memories of starting a family. \n This exhibition of 12 Contemporary and Urban Artists brings to focus small moments in time that led to big changes. Please visit us\, in-person by appointment\, at our 60 Pine Street location\, online at WoodwardGallery.net\, and through a virtual Exhibition Viewing Room on ARTSY.net. \n  Save
