SUMMARY:RECOVERY JUSTICE: Being Well
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in: \nRECOVERY JUSTICE: Being Well\nMarch 8\, 2021 – September 11\, 2021\nat\n18th Street Arts Center (Airport Campus) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Being Well” is what we seek together as neighbors\, and recalls one of the central guiding principles of the City of Santa Monica\, the notion of “wellbeing” as key to civic health. Recovery Justice: Being Well\, aims to highlight the recent circumstances that have evolved during the pandemic (racial justice demonstrations and destruction\, as well as social discontent and general disconnection) into a series of self-organized artist projects that merges the exterior and interior public spaces of City of Santa Monica property. 18th Street Airport Campus at Santa Monica Municipal Airport will be the site where artists reimagine the city and beyond in the midst of complex social unrest globally. Recovery Justice will recuperate through various means the digital and physical footprints left in a city that struggles to reclaim the seemingly peaceful environment it once had. Artists will develop a palette for making and sharing artworks responding to the street experience in safe\, healing and expressive modes. This porous series is a point of departure to reconcile and redefine the concept of justice. \nThis collage of self-organized artist projects was organized around the common theme of Recovery Justice\, facilitated as part of Sara Daleiden’s artist project and ongoing conversations nurtured through a series of online conversations with 18th Street’s artist community called “Creative Roundtables” over the past 8 months. These projects will manifest in outdoor presentations on the side of the building; sculptural\, photographic\, painting and video work in the galleries; and a series of online and drive-in events in Spring of 2021. The artists’ presentations will also be represented online and via a 360 tour for virtual viewing.” \nParticipating artists include: Sara Daleiden\, Nicola Goode\, Susie McKay Krieser\, Marcus Kuiland-Nazario\, M Susan Broussard\, Lionel Popkin\, Yrneh Gabon Brown\, Lola del Fresno\, Debra Disman\, Melinda Smith Altshuler\, Gregg Chadwick\, Luciana Abait\, Deborah Lynn Irmas\, Rebecca Youssef\, and Dan S. Wang. \nSara Daleiden’s residency and facilitation work on these projects is generously supported by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. Bailiwik is also a supporting partner on this exhibition.\nABOUT THE FACILITATOR\n(such a joy working with Sara)\nSara Daleiden is a Los Angeles-based artist who facilitates civic engagement within developing landscapes\, exercising arts and cultural exchange strategies. She encourages local cultures to value neighborhoods\, public space\, civic art\, land and racial and gender equity. Sara has an expertise in working with artists and other cultural entrepreneurs for civic engagement\, creative placemaking\, network development and small business development. \nHer project at 18th Street Arts Center grows out of the placekeeping work that 18th Street has been engaged in over the past six years through our cultural asset mapping project (culturemapping90404.org) and the Commons Lab\, which involves community voices to define\, center\, and connect cultural practices within their own neighborhoods. Her practice investigates the influence of location\, scale\, market\, values and other regional factors on the production of the arts and cultural identity. Through methodologies involving partnership mapping\, network building\, and the facilitation of self-organizing and advocacy\, Sara aims to enhance the advocacy power of artists in influencing neighborhood development in the city. Her durational engagement with 18th Street will spin off land-based activations with opportunities for neighbors\, artists\, city staff\, and the broader public to participate. Sara has been collaborating with arts workers Nicola Goode\, Susannah Laramee Kidd\, Dorit Cypis and Kimberli Meyer for this artist project. \nPictured is  “Womb”\, 2021\, (plastic\, canvas\, jute cord) and “I Smile At You With My Eyes”\, 2021\, cardboard\, magazine pages\, acrylic paint\,

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: The Fine Art of Denim at Pollak Gallery\, Monmouth University Center for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:I am excited to be included in:\n\n\n\n\nat Monmouth University Center for the Arts Pollak Gallery\nJune 17 – August 14 \, 2021\n \n \nDenim\, with all its symbols and dualities\, is a common item of clothing that unites many around the globe. Dad Jeans\, skinny jeans\, low riders\, bell bottoms\, boot leg\, wide leg\, no leg\, 501s\, 504s\, button fly\, stretch jeans\, the American dress code writ large across centuries. With so many styles available and ways to accessorize/manipulate the fabric\, denim has historically allowed for a freedom of expression representing both individuality and shifts in cultural movements. Denim comes in a wide range of blues and other colors\, washes\, fades and textures making it a perfect\, but not obvious\, medium to create fine artwork. Join us now\, for a re-imagining of the meaning of denim. Denim that was discarded can open up a new way of looking\, a startling way of seeing past the everyday. What we have abandoned\, will be presented again\, re-purposed from the lives we lived\, to moments we experience together “forever in blue jeans.” \nMonmouth University’s Center for the Art is exhibiting the work of artists  who use recycled denim in new and creative ways in paintings\, sculpture\, collages\, small constructions and wall hangings\, etc. from June 17 – August 14 \, 2021 in the Pollak Gallery. Works shown use denim as the principal medium of the piece and the fabric are reconstructed from its original form in some way.  \n \nSee The Show Here!\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: LIMINAL at Verum Ultimum Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Verum Ultimum Gallery tasks artists to define “Liminal” for this first edition of this exhibition.\nI am thrilled to be part of this first edition of the theme: LIMINAL\, at Verum Ultimum Gallery through which artists are invited to explore the theme\, LIMINAL in any interpretation. Pictured: my work  The Gates\, (interior)\, 2019\, 7.5 x 20 x 10.25”\, mixed media/sculptural artists’ book. \n\n\nLiminal is the space between. What significance does transition (or the “space between“) have in your work or your artistic voice? Does your work reflect the liminal aspects of our pandemic-impacted world and the adaptation to a post pandemic existence? Does your work represent and or challenge the threshold to a more equitable society? Or\, perhaps it reflects a vehicle for expression through pure abstraction. \nAs with all Verum Ultimum’s calls for art\, the curator never seeks to drive the work\, the only hope is to unveil unique visions. All mediums and modes of expression have been welcomed from low brow\, pop surrealism\, realism\, abstraction\, and more. The term Liminal may be interpreted in many ways\, and is not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. \nLiminal is defined as\n1. relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process.\n2. occupying a position at\, or on both sides of\, a boundary or threshold.\n​One could argue that artists are conditioned to occupy the liminal state. And a successful studio is a space in flux\, poised for adaptation (to projects\, challenges\, and materials). The focus of the artist is the creative process or the place between the 2 boundaries of “the beginning” and “the outcome or result.” \nA gallery benefits from maintaining that liminal state\, too (adaptation is a constant). \nVerum Ultimum is celebrating it’s eighth year and this exhibition serves to herald the artists unique vision…especially during these challenging times! \nView the Show!!!

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: 2021 INTERNATIONAL ART OF THE BOOK Show
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled that Burning Bush has been accepted into the Rochester Public Library’s 2021 International Art of the Book show. \n \n\nTHE 2021 ART OF THE BOOK & PAPER SCULPTURE\n“In 2011\, we held the first Art of the Book exhibit in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Rochester Public Library. At the time\, we wanted to celebrate what has been at the core of libraries for centuries–the book. We marveled over the intricate interpretations of this humble format\, and we were thrilled with the response to the exhibit from the community.” \n“In subsequent years\, the exhibit has grown to include entries from all over the world\, featuring well-known artists for their exquisite work. We have built a reputation worldwide among book artists\, and we are so pleased to see that reputation upheld. \nBooks continue to ensnare the imagination\, both for their form and content. Artists manipulate those two components to create breathtaking\, mind-bending works of art that tease and cajole people to consider the intricacies of paper\, ink\, words\, and meaning. \nIn commemoration of the 10th Anniversary\, we are adding Paper Sculpture as a new category. This new category will celebrate the extraordinary use of paper\, in an art form that combines or shapes papers.” \nArtist Books are…\nworks of art realized in the form of a book. They are often published in small editions\, though sometimes they are produced as one-of-a-kind objects referred to as ‘unique.’ Artist Books have employed a wide range of forms including scrolls\, fold-outs\, concertinas\, or loose items contained in a box\, as well as bound printed sheets. Artists have been active in printing and book production for centuries\, but the artist book is primarily a late 20th century art form. \nAltered Books are…\nany book\, old or new\, that has been recycled by creative means into a work of art. They can be rebound\, painted\, cut\, burned\, folded\, added to\, collaged in\, gold-leafed\, rubber stamped\, drilled or otherwise adorned…and yes\, it is legal. They can also be composed entirely of unique materials. \nPaper Sculptures are…\nartworks created as sculptures using paper in some form as the predominant medium. These sculptures are three-dimensional and can be either free-standing or bas relief and would be considered art forms in themselves.  Paper sculpture can be functional or non-functional with attention to pushing the limits of how paper can be used and explores paper in inventive and unique ways. \nJuly 9\, 2021: Show opens\nSeptember 15\, 2021: Reception\, Award Ceremony\, 10th Anniversary party(date subject to change)\nOctober 30\, 2021: Exhibition closes.\nView the show:  AOB_2021_Program (1)\n

Along with a core group of artists\, Gronk helped establish Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) in 1978. In 1993\, a traveling retrospective of his work\, Gronkl: A Living Survey\, 1972 – 1993\, was organized by the Mexican Museum in San Francisco and traveled to several institutions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Gronk exhibited at LACMA again in 2011 for the exhibition ASCO: Elite of the Obscure.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: Book As Art 2021: Muse
DESCRIPTION:The Book as Art v. 9.0: Muse\nPresented by the The Decatur Arts Alliance\nDecatur\, Georgia\n August 13–October 1\, 2021.\nThe Decatur Arts Alliance (DAA) presents the ninth edition of the juried exhibition of artists’ books\, The Book as Art\, August 13–October 1\, 2021. This edition will be installed once again at the Decatur Branch of the DeKalb County Public Library. If conditions allow\, the DAA will sponsor a limited opening on Friday\, August 27\, 2021\,or a virtual opening and tour of the exhibition. The exhibition is brought to you by Decatur Arts Alliance\, Georgia Center for the Book\, the DeKalb Co. Public Library\, DeKalb Library Foundation and Keep it Indie-catur. \n“Nine: a number both sacred and profane. This mystical numeral\, both spiritual and scientific\, is celebrated the world over and in all religions\, representing the brightest ands darkest aspects of the celestial and the terrestrial. Fulfillment\, completion\, reflection\, and birth are balanced with pain\, misfortune\, evil\, and death.\nFor the Ancient Greeks\, nine sisters born of heaven and memory gave inspiration to artists\, scientists \, and historians. They guided the feet and the fingers\, moved the brush and the pen\, swelled the chest\, and sweetened the voice. But when their gifts of love and wisdom were overshadowed by hubris\, the sisters punished and imprisoned those who forsook the purity of their spiritual gifts.\nThe muses still call out to artists world-wide\, placing in their minds the seeds of creation\, the word\, the phrase\, the form\, are born and transformed upon the page. Held in the hand\, a book can be a source of stability in unsettled times. Tactile and olfactory\, the black and white pages conjure emotions and images that endure longer than flickering light on small screens. From tablet to folio\, papyrus to scroll\, song to psalm—all are created as a concept that becomes thought\, becomes word\, becomes book\, becomes sculpture.\nThese objects\, in an increasingly digital world\, stubbornly survive and have proved a steady presence in our unprecedented isolation. Color and light\, script and structure\, translate thought and idea\, and bestow upon us\, the viewers\, the fruit of artistic inspiration. The objects in this exhibition will interpret the concept of the book and invite the viewer to look beyond the printed page to where ideas\, words\, and symbols are transformed and are transfigured. They are expressive\, iconic\, mystical\, and inspirational. They are\, in form\, muse.” \nBeautifully made volumes\, sculptural and conceptual interpretations\, and one-of-a-kind approaches to the book format as well as  wall-hung interpretations will be showcased! \nI am showing “Window Treatment“\, 13″ x 38″ x 9.25″\, a one-of-a-kind  sculptural Artists’ Book made of book board\, file folders\, paint\, hemp cord\, linen thread\, canvas\, mulberry paper and watercolor paper. It stands upright on a pedestal\, shelf\, table or other surface parallel to the floor. When opened\, it can span up to 38” wide. \n \nSee the Show! https://decaturartsalliance.org/book-as-art/\nEVENTS:\nSeveral events are planned throughout the run of the show. The Georgia Center for the Book inaugurated a series of virtual tours of the exhibition\, artist talks\, and discussions in 2020 that will be continued in 2021. Through these presentations artists were able to talk in depth about their books\, and lead us on virtual tours through their volumes. You can review these presentations at bookasart.com\, and on the Georgia Center for the Book’s YouTube channel \nThe Jurors: \nAnna Embree is a Professor for the MFA Book Arts Program in the School of Library Science and Information Studies at the University of Alabama. She teaches courses and workshops in bookbinding\, box making\, and special topics in book preservation and book history. Anna has a strong interest in the physical and material aspects of book structures\, collaborates with printers and papermakers on limited edition handmade books\, and has exhibited widely.\nAnna’s book work focuses on composition and form. When designing a single book or an edition\, she works to unify content\, structure\, and materials. The goal is to create a visually engaging work that facilitates interaction with the content through purposeful mechanical and operational design choices. \nBeth Shoemaker is the Rare Book Librarian at Emory University’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript\, Archive & Rare Book Library in Atlanta. Her work includes cataloging\, collection development\, teaching and curating exhibits in the Emory Libraries. In 2018 she co-curated the exhibit Common Thread: Women’s Experience through Artists’ Books at Rose Library and was recently a featured speaker on the role of artists’ books in academic libraries for the Form & Function from Afar Conference\, organized by Book Paper Thread. At Emory she is the co-organizer of an event series called Bound with History\, where each event is focused on a portion of the rare book collection\, including artists’ books and pop-ups\, and attendees get to have a hands-on experience with collection material. \n Sande Wascher-James has been working with the book arts since the mid-nineties when she discovered that she could use all of the mediums she enjoyed working with in a format that varied greatly and had meaning—the book. One of the hallmarks of her work is purposefully using techniques such as embroidery and beading\, which are considered “women’s work”\, to deal with issues felt to be of importance to most women through the medium of book structures. The books are meant to be held in the hand and to be read\, as well as to be displayed in their sculptural format. She makes both one-of-a-kind books and small editions\, usually no more than two editions per year due to the intensive labor involved in making them. Sande feels that the books need to be both artistically beautiful and have a text that is as powerful as the imagery. Sande is a full time studio artist whose work has been in many exhibitions\, is held in both private and public collections\, and in publications. She has been honored with awards for her work in exhibitions\, and has work held by the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Yale\, Harvard\, Duke\, University of Washington\, and others.
