SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse at MoCA Westport
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP) and Fiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA) are partnering with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Westport\, CT. for a forty-artist exhibition held at MoCA from June 30–September 4\, 2022. The exhibition\, a textile survey of the ways in which gender\, culture\, and sociopolitics intersect\, was the inaugural collaboration for CAMP and FAMA’s annual exhibition\, Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse\, in 2020. \nInspired by the gendered history of textile and fiber work and seeking to both open dialogue and democratize access to artistic practice\, Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse sees topics such as capitalism’s effect on the body; the interplay of race and gender in fine art; reproductive justice; bodily autonomy; ageism; immigration and displacement explored through textiles. The result is a subversion of textiles’ perceived nature—soft\, easy\, women’s busy work—birthed from poignant and biting\, sometimes jarring\, social commentary. \n“The timeliness of this exhibition is not lost in the obvious\, but becomes another rung in the continual search for equality. At the time of the original exhibition’s opening on September 19\, 2020\, we mourned the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As we approach 2022’s [opening]\, we worry about the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade—that a right awarded in our lifetime would teeter on the balance of being revoked\, turning reproductive and body rights over to a moral minority instead of the individual\,” says CAMP founder\, Melanie Prapopoulos. \nThe opening reception for Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse at MoCA Westport will be held on June 30\, 2022 from 6–8 PM. The event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse at MoCA Westport
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Modern Project and Fiber Artists Miami Association partner with MoCA Westport for the return of Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse. The seminal collaboration between CAMP and FAMA\, first exhibited in 2020\, will be on display in Westport\, Connecticut this summer from June 30–September 4\, 2022\, exposing social and cultural vulnerabilities in women’s rights\, past and present. The exhibition\, a textile survey of the ways in which gender\, culture\, and sociopolitics intersect\, was the inaugural collaboration for CAMP and FAMA’s annual exhibition\, Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse\, in 2020.\n  \nInspired by the gendered history of textile and fiber work and seeking to both open dialogue and democratize access to artistic practice\, Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse sees topics such as capitalism’s effect on the body; the interplay of race and gender in fine art; reproductive justice; bodily autonomy; ageism; immigration and displacement explored through textiles. The result is a subversion of textiles’ perceived nature—soft\, easy\, women’s busy work—birthed from poignant and biting\, sometimes jarring\, social commentary. \nIn this edition\, both CAMP and FAMA have been invited by Ruth Mannes\, Liz Leggett\, and the board of Westport’s MoCA to bring a new edition\, new works\, and new artists using mixed media and the fiber arts to ignite positive social change. Our collective revisiting of the inaugural collaboration\, which coincided with the centennial of the women’s vote in the Unites States and 2020’s election season\, has been expanded to artists in the Northeastern United States in order to explore the ways in which dialogues change across space within an eclectic national identity. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition was curated by Melanie Prapopoulos\, Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco\, and Mario Andres Rodriguez of The CAMP Gallery\, with locations in both Miami\, Florida and Westport\, Connecticut. \n\n\n\nSupporting Programming will be part of MoCA Westport’s Cocktails & Conversation series\, featuring an ongoing line-up of speakers relevant to the exhibition on Thursday evenings. Speakers begin at 6 PM sharp\, so please arrive early to purchase a custom cocktail and to experience the exhibition. \n\n\n\n\nArtists Included In the Exhibition \nLaetitia Adam-Rabel\, Alissa Alfonso\, Carlos Bautista Biernnay\, Nancy Billings\, Liene Bosquê\, Pip Brant\, Carola Bravo\, Mabelin Castellanos\, Melissa Dadourian\, Camille Eskell\, Susan Feliciano\, Molly Gambardella\, Amy Gelb\, Joseph Ginsberg\, Jac Lahav\, Maria Lino\, Laura Marsh\, Sooo-z Mastropietro\, Caitlin McCormack\, Shelly McCoy\, Jeanne Jaffe & Molly McGreevy\, Norma Minkowitz\, Aurora Molina\, Valeria Montag\, Chiara No\, Evelyn Politzer\, Rosana Machado Rodriguez\, Alina Rodriguez Rojo\, Damian Rojo\, Margaret Roleke\, Debora Rosental\, Rosario Salazar\, Yolanda Sanchez\, Natalia Schonowski\, Leslie Sheryll\, Silvana Soriano\, Maru Ulivi\, Rita Valley\, Lisu Vega\, Laura Villareal\, Joan Wheeler\, Silvia Yapur\, and Wendy Wahl. \n  \nThe Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery) \nthecampgallery.com \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. Looking at art\, as a whole\, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach\, the gallery covers the ever-populating notion of society and life in general through art and curation\, offering a creative space both in the gallery and out—where creativity and reality co-exist. \nThe Contemporary Art Modern Project Miami \n791 NE 125 St. North Miami\, FL 33161 \n 786-953-8807 \nThe Contemporary Art Modern Project Westport \n190 Main Street\, Westport\, CT 06880 \n203-557-0223 \nGallery Hours \nWednesday to Saturday 11am – 5pm \n  \nFiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA) \nfiberartists-miamiassociation.com \nWith the goal of the education of and the advancement of fiber arts in Miami or abroad\, Fiber Arts Miami Association came into being during the onset of COVID-19 as three artist:s \, Alina Rodriguez Rojo\, Aurora Molina\, and Evelyn Politzer began organizing socially engaged virtual workshops that united people using the healing power of thread-based work.

SUMMARY:Caprices\, a Contemporary Homage to Goya
DESCRIPTION:In the next CAMP gallery exhibition\, Caprices\, a Contemporary Homage to Goya\, artists Aurora Molina\,German Molina\,Violeta Caldrés\, Jac Lahav and Luis Alonso all draw directly upon the original Caprichosof Francisco de Goya y Lucientes and\, like the original concept\, draw attention to the inherent folly in society\, whether that folly be a direct interpretation of a piece\, or our reaction to what we encounter as other. The original pieces by Goya were etchings\, simply because the artist found that a line would be the ideal means of expression\, but because no one in Spain at the time was creating etchings\, Goya had to look to artists that he admired—in this case Rembrandt and Tiepolo. Combining their techniques with his deep respect and understanding of nature\, he was able to develop and make a blatant statement about the society in which he existed\, often finding that same society to be ignorant\, superstitious\, and limited. The timeliness of these new interpretations\, and treatments of the idea to call a society into check is also timely today\, as we\, too\, inhabit a modern world still weighted with ignorance and superstition\, and are often limited. \nGoya\, and the artists above\, stand fast in their self-imposed role as witnesses to society\, documenting what they see\, what they encounter\, and insisting that we\, the audience\, join them in taking on the identity of a witness\, accept what is being shown to us\, and hopefully become the entities of change and awareness. \n\nCaprices\, a Contemporary Homage to Goya will be on display in The CAMP Gallery Westport from June 15–July 15. An opening reception will be held on June 17 from 6–8 PM.

SUMMARY:Clara Fialho: Dreamscapes
DESCRIPTION:Clara Fialho’s artistic sensibilities are interpreted as an intimate\, liminal study of emotion\, removed from the constructs of time and space in The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s April exhibition\, Dreamscapes. The result is an expert layering of personal experiences\, color\, and technique\, a collection of contemplative scenes whose energies and meanings are left up to interpretation. Her approach to abstract work is grounded in an intentionality that finds its footing in an intertwining of psychology\, surrealism\, universal symbols\, and her previous portraiture practice\, allowing her to appropriate both the reflexive qualities of instinct with the objective spirit of realism into a reframing of existential sentiments. Dreamscapes explores Fialho’s adaptive realms\, unconfined by time and space\, bringing witnesses to unnamed\, yet defined points of respite\, and occupying spaces between the dichotomies of disorder and form; individual and collective; discipline and fluidity; tension and repose; texture and color; dimension and ephemerality.     \n  \nFialho takes advantage of the space she allots herself\, allowing her compositions to transcend firm interpretations into completely liminal territories. Ethnographers Arnold Van Gennep’s and Victor Turner’s work on the concept of liminality has given society a name for the viscerally ambiguous checkpoints of a life lived\, though it is Turner’s description of liminal experiences in The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure (1969) as “betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law\, custom\, convention\, and ceremonial\,” that run concurrent to Fialho’s endeavor. This is best exemplified by Fialho’s deliberate toying with illusions\, or remnants\, even\, of negative space through a recurring use of orb-like forms\, no matter if they’ve been colored in to totality\, overlapped with thick coats of paint\, or left empty to bring forth the raw material underneath\, and mirroring the weight\, or power\, that we allow any one thing. Dreamscapes features the debut of It Was Good to Be Loved\, a ten-year project that can be approached as an archive of the growing pains that accompany our existences\, be they emotional\, spiritual\, or physical. Fialho’s color palette further runs parallel to interrogations of emotion\, a study of emotional potential in both delicate and deep\, almost severe hues\, often on the same piece. This duality\, or multiplicity\, is present throughout her body of work—elegant watercolor pieces are exercises in spontaneity\, and exist neatly alongside large-scale oil paintings\, which are carefully planned ahead in her collection of sketchbooks\, all living catalogues of Fialho’s conceptual instincts. \n  \nDreamscapes embraces the undefined\, coalescing into a brilliant\, sensorial emancipation\, an embodiment of the very essence of abstract art wherein the works ultimately function as vessels for whatever one may need: reflection\, understanding\, or transformation. Nonetheless\, Dreamscapes\, and by extension\, this statement\, whether it is seen from afar or through a magnifying lens\, is offered to the viewer as an invitation to stand right here and experience. \n  \n  \nOpening April 1\, 2022\, Dreamscapes will be on display until April 28\, 2022\, at The CAMP Gallery: 791 NE 125 St\, Miami\, FL 33161. The opening reception will be held on April 1\, 2022\, from 6–8 PM; private viewings and tours can be scheduled by emailing hello@thecampgallery.com  \nStatement by Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco
