SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: FACING DARKNESS
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be included in FACING DARKNESS\, an online exhibition of works created by artists from 18th Street Art Center‘s 18th street and airport campuses. \nTour the Show!\n“In our darkest hours\, it is natural and human to seek connection with others\, to face the darkness together so that we can imagine a brighter path forward. In our current pandemic-time of crisis and isolation\, this instinct can feel thwarted\, and lead us to even darker places. Art is one of the ways that communities can find resilience in isolation\, a method of aesthetic communication that empowers both the artist and the viewer to transform the most difficult and paradigm-breaking experiences into new visions for the future. Even as the arts and cultural infrastructure in the US is in deep crisis\, the work of artists reflecting on this time and its socio-cultural reverberations is even more necessary for binding us together and rebuilding our world. As Californians for the Arts director Julie Baker quipped “A first responder comes in and saves a life. A second responder comes in and helps rebuild a life.” \nArtists are second responders\, and this exhibition of 25 varied artists from 18th Street’s artist community present multivalent ways that artworks that address the human capacity to overcome hardships on both global and personal scales. From meditations on memory\, investigations into the warped passage of time\, working through fraught familial relationships\, and grappling with fear and longing in a time of public health crises and inequities laid bare\, the artists in this show address our current moment both obliquely and directly\, with humor\, melancholy\, and uncomfortable propositions. Creation during this time feels nothing like luxury; rather it is deeply necessary in navigating the darkness ahead.”  \nCollective – “The only way out is through”\n“Hopes and Fears and…”\, 2020\, 24.5 x 16.25\, mixed media\n18th Street will host related online events over the course of the exhibition. \nParticipating artists include: Deborah Lynn Irmas\, Beth Davila Waldman\, Elham Sagharchi\, Gwen Samuels\, Rachel Chu\, Debra Disman\, M Susan Broussard\, Lionel Popkin\, Leo Garcia\, Alexandra Dillon\, Gregg A Chadwick\, Ameeta Nanji\, Yrneh Gabon\, Claudia Concha\, Luciana Abait\, Rebecca Youssef\, Crystal Michaelson\, Susie McKay Krieser\, Melinda Smith Altshuler\, David McDonald\, Julia Michelle Dawson\, Daniela Schweitzer\, Luigia Gio Martelloni\, Sheila Karbassian\, and Joan Wulf.

SUMMARY:The Book as Art v. 8.0: Infinity
DESCRIPTION:The Book as Art v. 8.0: Infinity\nJurors: Bexx Caswell-Olson\, Ann Kresge\, Joe Sanders\nOpening Reception\nFriday\, Aug. 28 | 7–9 pm\nA book begins as a small mass of material\, formed and pressed into life by ideas\, words\, and machines. A concept becomes thought\, becomes word\, becomes book\, becomes sculpture. From the tactile complexity of handmade paper\, to the alteration of existing volumes\, to a variety of other materials and concepts\, these objects\, in an increasingly digital world\, stubbornly survive. The objects in this exhibition will interpret the concept of the book and invite the viewer to look beyond the printed page to where word has become form. \nI am showing two pieces in the exhibition:\nPrairie\,  2018 (10.25″ x 45″ x 15.25″\, mixed media)\n  \n\nMaximum Security\, 2018\, (15 x 18 x 10.25″\, mixed media)\n   \n  \nThe Book as Art v. 8.0: Infinity  will be presented online until further notice.\nHowever\, the exhibition will be installed at the Decatur Branch of the DeKalb County Public Library\, in anticipation that the Periodicals Gallery at the Decatur Library may be open for limited viewing before the advertised end of the exhibition (October 17). \nView The Book as Art v.8: Infinity Virtual Opening!\nVirtual programming is in development to supplement and enhance viewer experience. I an honored to be participating in an Artist Talk at 7PM EST on Friday October 28th!  \nLive Zoom Events (FREE tickets via Eventbrite\, links available soon)\nOct. 7: Artist Talk with Valerie Aranda and Clemente Orozco Farías\nOct. 14: Artist Talk with Stephanie Russ and Isabelle Fleurelien\nOct. 21: Artist Interview: Peggy Johnston\nOct. 28: Artist Showcase and Discussion: Nicole Polonsky\, Christian Feneck\, Chris Revelle\, Debra Disman \n
