EXHIBITIONISTA: “Paper + Fiber” at 1202 Contemporary
1202 Contemporary proudly presents its 4th annual Paper + Fiber show, celebrating two mediums that women artists have traditionally used for centuries, but have always been considered "craft," or less than fine art. Uplifting and supporting artists who have worked in textile, fiber, and/or paper mediums, this exhibition centers and hones in on the theme of figure.
EXHIBITIONISTA: “REWRITING HER STORY” at the Hera Gallery
"Writer Elizabeth Lesser asks “What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her?”
Flipping through the pages of your high school history textbook, how many stories are written about women as monumental protagonists? When was the last time you watched a movie that passed the Bechdel test? When was the last time there were more women than men on the Supreme Court voting on the right to our bodies?
As brands of “faux” feminism partnered with consumerist culture push out media representing women’s liberation through a patriarchal gaze, how can we reclaim the visual language to share more authentic stories? How can our art share the stories of women, trans women, and non-binary folks written out of the history books? How does your work give voice to the overlooked and underrepresented?
Hera Gallery presents 52 works that rewrite this cultural consciousness for a more inclusive human history."
EXHIBITIONISTA: “FIBER” at Silvermine Arts Center
I am thrilled to participate in FIBER:
This international exhibition seeks to showcase the best of contemporary fiber art that reflect the breadth of functional or non-functional works that use fiber and/or fiber art techniques in traditional or innovative ways. Artwork in this exhibition may be made from natural or high tech materials that reference fiber and that blur the lines between art, architecture and craft. Please join us in the galleries on Saturday, June 7 for a captivating talk with Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown.Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown
Tom and Rhonda have showcased modern fiber art since the 1980s, championing fiber art’s evolution and future. Representing over 100 artists from 25 countries, the gallery’s exhibitions, art fairs, and partnerships with museums have placed works in prestigious collections like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery. Tom, a Rochester Institute of Technology graduate, is renowned for his photography of fiber art and knowledge of contemporary textiles. Rhonda’s background as a lawyer and writer informs her editorial leadership at browngrotta arts.
