SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "Swept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate(s)"
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nON SITE: ANNENBERG COMMUNITY BEACH HOUSE\nAnnenberg – Swept Way: Love Letters to a Surrogate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by\nWarren Neidich\, Christina Mossaides Strassfield\, Anuradha Vikram and Rene Petropoulos  2022-23\n “Swept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate/s” is a community oriented artistic project that aims to create a transcontinental heartbeat across America. It is hoped that through its combined gestures and performances\, a sense of solidarity\, so desperately missing today\, will emerge with which to confront the ecological catastrophe at our doorstep.”\n65 Los Angeles County artists will present live performances over Earth Day Weekend: April 22 and 23\, 2023 at the Santa Monica State Beach near the Annenberg Community Beach House on the Pacific Ocean.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI am thrilled to participate in:\nSwept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate(s)\, Main Beach\, East Hampton\, NY / Santa Monica Beach\, Santa Monica\, CA\nCurators: Warren Neidich\, Christina Mossaides Strassfield\, Anuradha Vikram and Rene Petropoulos  2022-23\n\nThe syncopated sound of the surf will provide the background acousmatic. This poetic project in some ways harkens back to the Happenings staged by Allan Kaprow in 1966 all through the South Fork: https://alastairgordonwalltowall.com/2018/02/07/gas-i-am-a-happener-1966-east-hampton/ \nArtist Warren Neidich co- curated the successful Drive by Art event in 2020.\nThe “SWEPT AWAY” project is co-curated and co-coordinated by Christina Strassfield\, Museum Director/Chief Curator of Guild Hall\, Anuradha Vikram\, Los Angeles based independent curator\, and Los Angeles based conceptual artist Renee Petropoulos\, plus administrative coordination by Julie McKim. \n65 artists living in on the East End and 65 west coast artists are participating in this community and family-based Art Happening. In the spring the reverse will occur; with East End artists writing love letters to LA artists to be executed at Will Rogers State Beach\, Santa Monica in conjunction with the 18th Street Arts Center. \nArtists will create ephemeral performative gestures of immateriality or time-based works on the beach. This could be making a sandcastle\, singing a song\, reciting poetry\, dancing\, make a sculpture that interacts with the tide\, collecting shells\, doing a light projection\,\, picking up garbage on the beach\, etc.  The works could be political and deal with global warming and its effects on the water level or could be apolitical and talk about the natural beauty of the real in opposition to the digital and virtual. \nThe importance of biodegradable\, non-toxic materials will be essential as well as leaving the beach pristine after the work. \nEach East Coast artist has been linked up to a West Coast artist who will email instructions – a love letter – for a work of art that the local artist will incorporate into their performative piece\, acting as a surrogate. In the Spring will occur the reverse\, with East Coast Artists sending Love Letters to their West Coast counterparts\, who will use it as a springboard to create offerings to happewn at Santa Monica’s Will Rogers State Beach.\nThe list of East End and West Coast artist pairings is as follows: \nEAST END ARTISTS  > LOS ANGELES ARTISTS\nPamella Allen > Jade Gordon + Megan Whitmarsh\nSuzanne Anker > Margarethe Drexel\nElena Bajo  > Jasmine Orpilla\nLillian Ball > Dana Duff\nMonica Banks > Jamie Ross\nDianne Blell > Lisa Anne Auerbach\nScott Bluedorn > Robby Herbst\nSanford Biggers > Sterling Wells\nMegan Chaskey > Lionel Popkin\nScott Chaskey > Kathryn Andrews\nPhilippe Cheng > David Horvitz\nAndrea Cote > Nina Waisman\nIvana Dama > Rodrigo Arruda\nPeter Dayton > Anita Pace\nKatrina Del Mar > Taisha Paggett + Meital Yaniv\nJeremy Dennis > Debra Disman\nSabra Moon Elliot > Rochelle Fabb\nCarol Edwards > Pamela Hudson\nEva Faye > Patty Chang + David Kelly\nSaskia Friedrich > Fran Siegel\nMargaret Garrett > Susan Kleinberg\nVeronica Gonzales > Cassandra Marketo\nKimberly Goff > Cheri Gaulke + Xochi Maberry-Gaulke\nJeremy Grosvenor > Vincent Johnson\nJerelyn Hanrahan > Andrew Berardini\nCandace Hill Montgomery > Anna Joy Springer\nVirva Hinnemo > Sam Shoemaker\nAlice Hope > Krysten Cunningham\nErica-Lynn Huberty > Sandeep Mukherjee\nTerri Hyland > Joseph Mosconi\nRuby Jackson > Alice Könitz\nIlya + Emelia Kabakov > Carolyn Castano\nCarlos Lama > Elisabeth Houston\nLaurie Lambrecht > May Sun\nJoseph Liatela > Badly Licked Bear\nDonald Lipski > Raul Baltazar\nSutton Lynch > Yrneh Gabon Brown\nJosephine Meckseper > Jiayun Chen\nPaul Miller > Lucia Santini Ribisi\nTanya Minhas > Allison Wyper\nRichard Mothes > Kristin Calabrese\nMichelle Murphy > Sarah Beadle\nJill Musnicki > Victoria Vesna\nEileen O’Kane Kornreich > Iman Person\nDalton Portella > Ryat Yezbick\nJaanika Peerna > Marcus Kuiland Nazario\nToni Ross > Sharon Barnes\nDavid Rothenberg > Beatriz Cortez\nWill Ryan > Jody Zellen\nSara Salaway > Melinda Altshuler\nMatthew Satz > Katie Grinnan\nBastienne Schmidt > Jisoo Chung\nBarry Schwabsky > David Schafer\nChristine Sciulli > Karen Lofgren\nArlene Slavin > Jenny Yurshansky\nJanice Stanton > Kearra Gopee\nChristina Sun > Catherine Scott\nCarol Szymanski  > Xiouping\nSara VanDerBeek > Alicia Serling\nRyan Wallace > Joshua Aster\nRoss Watts > Justine Harari\nAllan Wexler > Dan Kwong\nNina Yankowitz > Francesca Gabbiani\nDarius Yektai > Barbara McCarren + Jud Fine\nAlmond Zigmund > Marissa Mandler \n\nABOUT WARREN NEIDICH \nWarren Neidich uses written texts and neon-light sculptures to create cross-pollinating conceptual works that reflect upon situations at the border zones of art\, science\, and social justice. His performative and sculptural work Pizzagate Neon (2018)\, recently on display at the Venice Biennale 2019\, analyzed\, through a large hanging neon light sculpture\, fake news and the post-truth society.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "(Re)imagining Home: On Care for Our Common Home"
DESCRIPTION:18th Street Arts Center is pleased to present the exhibition (Re)imagining Home: On Care for Our Common Home\, curated by Emma Balda and Venus Tung-yan Lau\, on view in the Kitchen Lab at 18th Street Arts Center’s Airport Campus (3026 Airport Ave. in Santa Monica) from August 22\, 2022 – July 31\, 2023.\nWhat is home? \nOver the last two years\, our notions of home have been challenged\, transformed\, and clarified. The pandemic has simultaneously forced us to shrink our physical home\, while also asking us to expand our sense of home to now include people\, food\, rituals\, and ideas. We have also seen our relationship with and to the Earth change. We have seen that our sense of home must expand to include the Earth and the way we care for it.\nAs we attempt to create a shared home\, the first step in that is defining what home means to us. This project asked the 18th Street community to examine the idea of home outside of the domestic sense. They were asked to identify people\, memories\, materials\, places\, movements\, or concepts that resonate as home to them. These ideas\, in combination with art that reflects on this concept\, will then be displayed on the monitor in the Kitchen Lab at the Airport Campus. This project relied heavily on 18th Street’s theme “Our Shared Home\,” while also deconstructing and defining what that sense of home means so that we can better understand what it means to share this space with one another. \nThis exhibition highlights the artworks of Alexandra Dillon\, Christopher Tin\, Dan Kwong\, Dan S Wang\, David McDonald\, Deborah Lynn Irmas\, Debra Disman\, Edi Dai\, Elham Sagharchi\, Gwen Samuels\, Jeff Beale\, Julia Michelle Dawson\, Lionel Popkin\, Luciana Abait\, M Susan Broussard\, Melinda Smith Altshuler\, Michael Masucci\, Po-Hao Chi\, Rebecca Youssef\, and Yvette Gellis\, all artists in residence at 18th Street Arts Center.\nExplore a 360 view of the virtual exhibition HERE.

Exploring the relationship between art\, power and politics\, her curatorial practice examines the physical and psychological connection to land\, the trauma of displacement and the Black female body as contested terrain. Gilbert’s intersectional critical analysis exposes the fault lines in the aesthetic regimes that dominate visual culture\, specifically by presenting artists whose contributions to the canon have been overlooked\, particularly women artists from the “Deep South” and the “Global South”. Most recently the Curator of African American Manuscripts at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art\, she has also held positions at The Art Institute of Chicago and The Studio Museum in Harlem. \nOver the course of her career she has addressed audiences at The Studio Museum in Harlem\, National Gallery of Art\, Smithsonian American Art Museum\, Howard University\, Fashion Institute of Technology and Swann Auction House. Figure and Force\, a conversation she moderated between Barbara Chase Riboud and Ilyasah Shabbaz for Solange’s Saint Heron\, exemplifies her commitment to expanding the audience for modern and contemporary art. \nIn July 2021\, Gilbert curated A Force For Change\, an exhibition presenting 26 contemporary women artists of African descent in New York benefiting UN Women. She is the co-curator of Mary Lovelace O’Neal: Whales Fucking which will open at MoAD in San Francisco\, California in November 2022. Since 2015 she has curated several museum and gallery exhibitions in the US and UK including Zohra Opoku: Draped Histories/Beyond Visage\, Sienna Shields: Invisible Woman and In The Eye of the Beholder. \nGilbert holds a BA in Political Science and a BA in African and African American Studies from the University of Michigan\, and a MA in Contemporary Art from the University of Manchester.  She has published catalog essays on several prominent artists\, including Deborah Roberts (Spelman University\, 2018); Alma Thomas (Mnuchin Gallery\, 2019); Chakaia Booker (ICA Miami\, 2021) and Mary Lovelace O’Neal (MoAD\, 2022). \nAttend the Zoom OPENING\, January 14th\, 2022\, at 7PM EST\, 3PM PST!\n

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: TRICKSTERS & TRANSFORMATION at the Helms Design Center
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be participating in “Tricksters and Transformation”\, organized by Textile Arts LA\, on view at the Helms Design Center\, Studio E!\n \n“Textiles have the universally demonstrated capacity for holding meaning\, establishing connections\, and creating healing. As we emerge\, on many levels\, from the darkness into the light of awareness of isolation and injustice we have an opportunity and obligation to examine the status quo. This exhibition will allow the artist to step into the now and make work that opens doors within themselves\, thereby acting as a portal to a collective resurgence into a renewed relationship with the world. This awakening inspires transformation. \nThere is a deep potential for the artist to act as trickster\, agent of change\, or boundary crosser. After the pandemic and the social upheaval of the past eighteen months\, the artist has gained renewed agency for creating more enlightened definitions of meaning and new ways of seeing. \nThe pandemic can be a portal\, serving as a provocation to transformation.” \nI am showing “Torrent and Tangle: Keep Your House In Order”\, in a new configuration! \n \nJuror: Carol Shaw-Sutton \nCarol Shaw-Sutton has been exhibiting her fiber sculpture in the U.S. and internationally since the 1970s with the California Design Exhibitions\, the Young American Award exhibition at Museum of Art and Design in NYC\, three Lausanne Biennales in Switzerland and the Kyoto Museum of Art\, Japan.  Her work is included in numerous major museum collections including the Oakland Museum of Art\, The DeYoung Museum\, The Museum of Art and Design\, among others\, as well as corporate and private holdings worldwide.  She received three NEA Individual Artist Fellowships\, the prestigious Young American Award from the American Craft Council\, the United States/Japan and the United States/France Fellowships and many others from her city and university. Shaw-Sutton recently retired from the School of Art at CSULB where she headed their Fiber Program for more than thirty years and is now Professor Emeritus. \nArtist -in-residence Carmen Mardonez will be at the gallery. Please email Carrie Burckle or Lesley Roberts if you would like to meet one of us at the gallery to walk-through. Thank you for supporting textile arts in Los Angeles!

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.

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).

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

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: 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
