Gronk is an enduring and influential figure in the Los Angeles and international art scenes — maintaining an active studio in downtown Los Angeles that functions as his live-work space and an epicenter for other artists and community members. 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. Gronk’s work is represented in numerous private and museum collections across the country\, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.; the San Francisco Museum of modern Art (SFMoMa); the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)\, Los Angeles.

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

This creative space has allowed countless artists a place for transformation\, exploration\, and community with one another which has been BRINGING CREATIVITY TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1974 \n“2020 was a year that was filled with worldwide turmoil. The Pandemic. Another reckoning with racism and police brutality. Climate Change\, wildfires\, hurricanes\, and droughts.  The undermining and politicization of science. The widening political divide. An election with voting rights\, healthcare\, immigration\, paid sick leave\, income inequality\, living wages\, reproductive rights\, LGBTQIA rights\, our environment and the future of democracy at stake. \nIs this turmoil leading to transformation? And what kind of transformation is it going to be?“ \n \nHera Gallery/ Hera Educational Foundation presents work that addresses the current turmoil and visions of our future. What are the emotional\, physical and spiritual effects of the turmoil and how might they manifest into the transformation? What does our world look like and what might it look like post-2020. Will transformation reflect the multiplicity of voices of America? How will our future be transformed by the current chaos? \nThe juror\,  Francine Weiss is the Senior Curator at the Newport Art Museum in Rhode Island where she curates exhibitions of contemporary art\, photography\, and American art. Her recent exhibitions include “Andy Warhol: Big Shot\,”  “The Shapes of Birds: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa\,” and “Domestic Affairs” among others.

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: Fantastic Fibers 2021 at the Yeiser Art Center
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to be showing in FANTASTIC FIBERS 2021 at the Yeiser Art Center. \n“One of  Yeiser Art Center’s most engaging and innovative international exhibitions\, FANTASTIC FIBERS is showcasing \a wide range of outstanding contemporary works related to the fiber medium.” \nHISTORY:\nThe show began in 1987 as a wearable art show but has evolved over the years to include a compelling mix of traditional and non-traditional works created from natural or synthetic fibers\, and work that addresses the subject or medium of fiber.  Paducah becomes a Mecca for quilters and quilt enthusiasts each April as more than 30\,000 visitors from across the globe attend AQS QuiltWeek.  \nI am showing “PROFUSION”  a sculptural Artists’ Book made of book board\, mulberry paper\, paint\, canvas\, watercolor paper and hemp cord. It stands upright on a pedestal\, shelf\, table or another surface parallel to the floor. When opened\, it can span up to 24.5″ wide \n  \n \n \nJUROR:  Sandra Johnson\n“My quilt journey started over 30 years ago and I continue to be inspired by the myriad of fabrics and techniques learned over time. I am a passionate teacher who encourages students to create unique fabric creations\, whether the end product is a quilt or garment. Creating what is important to the maker is a joyful experience that I try to pass on in my workshops. Wherever you are in your design process my goal is to inspire your creative “genius” and improve your techniques. \nHand sewing with my grandmother started it all. From the beginning\, the process of transforming fabric into art struck me as magical. Sewing was the foundation that led me into quilting. What started as a hobby turned my passion into an artistic reality.\nI love to hand stitch using the traditional Japanese Sashiko and Boro embroidery styles and incorporating them as a decorative feature into my designs. The concrete\, repetitive nature of this work frees my imagination provides many opportunities for happy accidents and grace to influence the finished product.\nMy core materials for quilting are thread and fabric\, however\, I often employ recycled denim\, yarns\, dyed fabrics and stamps to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. I hold a B.S. in Clothing\, Textiles and Design from Arizona State University\, Tempe\, AZ.\nRecently\, I discovered modern quilting: simple\, crayoned patchworks that resonate deeply with my fiber work. Inspired and invigorated by a renewed sense of continuity\, and awed by the mystery of how creation occurs\, my process allows me to explore visions to enable my creative work to evolve and grow.”  \nTOUR THE SHOW!!!!

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: "CONTENT" at The Artery
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to be included in CONTENT\, a show of Artists’ Books at The Artery\, in Davis\, CA. \nClick Here to Join us for the online reception!\n \n“Artist Books typically defy classification\, definition\, and expectations. They are vessels for an artist’s vision. To understand what an artist book is you have to forget your definition of a book.” \nAccording to the Smithsonian Institute Library blog\, “An artist’s book is a medium of artistic expression that uses the form or function of ‘book’ as inspiration. It is the artistic initiative seen in the illustration\, choice of materials\, creation process\, layout and design that makes it an art object. …” \n“What truly makes an artist’s book is the artist’s intent\, and artists have used the book as inspiration in a myriad of ways and techniques\, from traditional to the experimental. The book could be made through fine press printing or hand-crafted\, the pages illustrated with computer-generated images or cheap photocopies; books became sculptures\, tiny and gargantuan; books were sliced up and reconfigured\, made from all kinds of materials with unconventional objects incorporated\, in unique or limited editions\, or produced in multiple copies. With all sorts of ideas behind them\, artists continue to challenge the idea\, content and structure of the traditional book.” \nThere is a special guest juror for this exhibition: Nikki Thompson of Deconstructed Artichoke Press.\nNikki Thompson is a book artist (aka Deconstructed Artichoke Press) and poet. With an MFA from the California College of the Arts\, her art explores architecture\, feminism\, and the politics of work through the mixed media of bookmaking\, printmaking\, and photography. Her work has been awarded First Prize at Gallerie Renee Marie and a Purchase Prize at 23 Sandy Gallery. She has also been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and received the College Book Arts Association Project Assistance Grant. Her work can be seen at www.deconstructedartichokepress.com. \nCo-juror: Adele Louise Shaw of Circle A Studio.\nAdele is a book artist and a painter. Her career as an artist has been punctuated with wildly diverse artistic explorations but she grew up surrounded by hand-bound books made by her great-grand parents. Her bookbinding studies started with classes in Japan and Thailand. Adele’s book work is squarely focused on a different\, newish book form referred to as “Artist Books”. Many of her hand-bound books are derived from her work as a painter. She never ceases to try new methods and materials to actualize her vision. She teaches book classes out of her studio in Davis\, California. You can view her work at www.adeleshaw.com. \nI am showing:\n“Narrow Bridge”\, 5.5 x 16 x 3.5″\, mixed media\n“Narrow Bridge” is an “Artists’ Book”\, which can be opened to about 16+” wide\, but can be displayed opened to 8-10″\, standing upright. It is a flag book structure and is made of board\, paper\, linen thread\, and fabric. It says\, “All the world is a narrow bridge\, the important thing is not to fear.” (Indeed…!) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: INSIGHT at the Cape Cod Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be showing in The Cape Cod Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition\,  INSIGHT. When spoken\, this word can be broadly understood as – Insight\, In Sight and Incite. \nGrace Hopkins\, gallery director at the Berta Walker Galleries in Provincetown\, and Wellfleet\, MA served a s juror.\n523 artworks were submitted by 272 artists from 30 states across the country for INSIGHT. Only 65 artworks have been selected from 60 artists in 16 states.\nA note from the juror:\n“Narrowing down the artwork for this exhibition was challenging. I first had to digest all 500+ submissions as a whole before any threads of meaning could be drawn between the works\, and a final cohesive subset could be chosen. As a gallery director I am regularly confronted with an aesthetic puzzle. But\, when you throw in the added thematic complexity of INSIGHT and the sheer number of works submitted\, making a final selection was both a demanding and rewarding exercise in distillation. I want to thank everyone who came forward and placed their artwork into this pool. Another juror\, with different values and sensibilities would have solved this very differently. Your collective vision\, ability and insight moved me.”\n -Grace Hopkins\, Juror\, Artist and Gallery Director\, Berta Walker Galleries \nView Virtual Reception and Video featuring statements from the artists\, juror Grace Hopkins and CCMoA Director of Art\, Benton Jones.\nI am showing MAXIMUM SECURITY\, 2018\, 15 x 18 x 10.25″\, Sculptural Artists’ Book\, Mixed Media (Book board\, wood\, mulberry paper\, paint\, canvas\, watercolor paper and hemp cord). \n  \nWATCH VIRTUAL RECEPTION  SEE ALL THE WORKS hear the ARTISTS SPEAKING ABOUT THEM!\nVIRTUAL RECEPTION PART 2!

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: "Home Sick"
DESCRIPTION:Feel the Art Effect with a new show: Home Sick\n \n“Home sick or sick of home? This exhibition shares work that captures how the tumultuous events of 2020 have shaped personal experiences and artistic practice and explores how the phrase “Home Sick” can take on multiple meanings in today’s revolutionary climate.” \nI am excited to take part in this innovative exhibition at The Art Effect at the Trolly Barn Gallery\, showing:\nBedTime Story. This work features faces created from clay and gifted to me by my Mom\, the ceramicist Judy Disman. Thus this exhbition theme\, and concept of “home”\, and “home sick” holds a very deep resonance. \n   \nThe Art Effect announces the launch of its new international juried exhibition series and pilot youth museum studies program in 2021. Home Sick is The Art Effect’s inaugural national juried exhibition in its new 3\,000-sq-ft gallery at the Poughkeepsie Trolley Barn in the heart of the City of Poughkeepsie. This exciting exhibition will be on display February 25 – April 1\, 2021. \n“Home Sick will serve as a core component of a pilot program to put youth in the “driver’s seat” leading exhibitions and programming at the Trolley Barn\,” says Executive Director Nicole Fenichel-Hewitt. Youth at the Trolly Barn Gallery \nThe exhibition theme invitese artists to capture how the concept of being “home sick” can take on multiple meanings in light of a tumultuous year such as 2020.  \nCurator Mary-Kay Lombino\, Deputy Director and Emily Hargroves Fisher ’57 and Richard B. Fisher Curator at The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center\, Vassar College\, has worked closely with The Art Effect youth to juror the show made up of submissions from around the world. ”We’re very excited to have youth work alongside established curators like Mary-Kay to co-create high-quality exhibitions and develop the skills needed to pursue careers in the art museum field” noted Fenichel-Hewitt. \nSee the HOME Sick opening!\n

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: IDENTITY at Art Fluent
DESCRIPTION:“IDENTITY is a display of aspects that usually remain hidden—a bittersweet and raw take on what churns inside us. We all have a certain idea of who we are through our identity\, but to get there\, we need to probe beneath the surface. To get a sense of ourselves\, we need to explore who we are\, how we are viewed by the world\, and the characteristics that define us. This exhibit explores our beliefs\, qualities\, expressions\, and personalities that collectively form our identity.” \nI am honored to participate in this exhibition\, showing “White Zip“. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chasing Ghosts V: Art that Pierces the Veil through remembrance\, legacy\, & beyond
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to be participating in:  \nChasing Ghosts V: Art that Pierces the Veil through remembrance\, legacy\, & beyond\nThis show emphasizes the idea of revealing the unseen or the soul in a work of art. The term ghost may be interpreted in many ways\, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. This year’s interpretation might be loaded with the added turmoil of current social\, health\, environmental\, and political climate.  The exhibition asks artists: “Does your process manifest an identity within your work that somehow speaks to the past? Do you express your deepest fears or concerns through your work? Do current political\, health\, and environmental concerns follow you into the studio and shadow or define your work? What ghosts or parts of the past leave their mark on your work? Is a legacy revealed through your work or your process? Is memory a vital vehicle of expression for you? Do you inadvertently honor something from your past or concern for the future through your work? ”  \n Verum Ultimum never seeks to drive the work\, the only hope to unveil unique visions. \nVerum Ultimum Gallery has engaged audiences of artists and collectors since its founding in Northeast Portland in 2013. \nThe brainchild of artist Jennifer Gillia Cutshall\, Verum Ultimum (meaning the ultimate truth) showcases work that demonstrates the deepest connection to the creative process.

SUMMARY:"Building Networks of Empathy"
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Building Networks of Empathy is the second of a two-part show that asks us to consider the ways in which art empowers not only the artist\, but its viewers to transform their most difficult experiences into enlightened outcomes. The first part of the show is an ongoing online-only exhibition entitled Facing Darkness\, which encouraged artists in our community to reflect internally on our current moment of pandemic\, isolation\, and structural inequity laid bare. \nFor this second part\, which will be physically installed in 18th Street Arts Center’s spacious Airport campus hangar galleries\, artists were asked to respond to how they have changed as a result of their inner reflections on darkness\, and to imagine new futures and societal structures as we see our way out of crisis. Each artist grapples as well with the role that art can play in social reflection\, expression\, and cultural paradigm shifts as a result of a deeper understanding of each other\, and the empathy that follows. The exhibition sees empathy not only as a way to share and understand what others are going through\, but also as a natural and endless resource that we can all rely on when crisis and emergency hit\, with hopes that we can turn this moment of collective fear into a sublime experience. \nDebra Disman\, Chromatic Interactions: The Golden Thread\, 2020. File cards\, pencils\, crayons\, thread. Installation. 76 x 90 inches.\nPhoto by Debra Disman. Courtesy of the artist.\n“I was commissioned to create an interactive book for Craft Contemporary’s 2017 exhibition\, Chapters: Book Arts in Southern California\, which opened shortly after the 2016 presidential election. Visitors could choose file cards in an array of colors\, draw and write on them\, and insert them into the pocketed pages of the book. A range of feelings\, responses\, and concerns were expressed through the cards\, which the Museum Staff saved and gave to me at the end of the show. I stitched them together grouped loosely by theme\, to express the network of empathy they depicted\, held together by golden thread.” \nThis exhibition may be viewed by appointment only. Please visit here to sign up to visit the exhibition! \nParticipating artists include: Alexandra Dillon\, Deborah Lynn Irmas\, Luigia Gio Martelloni\, Rebecca Setareh\, M Susan Broussard\, Julia Michelle Dawson\, Lionel Popkin\, Ameeta Nanji\, Siru Wen\, Elham Sagharchi\, Debra Disman\, Luciana Abait\, Sheila Karbassian\, Daniela Schweitzer\, Joan Wulf\, Loren Harris-Heller\, Nung-Hsin Hu\, and Susie McKay Krieser. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a live Zoom panel featuring Alma Ruiz and Karen Sherman\, moderated by Paul Bonin-Rodriguez\, on November 12\, 2020 at 12pm. For this panel discussion\, curators\, artists\, activists\, advocates\, and scholars are invited to meet virtually  to reflect on the public opening of Facing Darkness\, and consider how the show renders a public crisis and artists’ circumstances evident and knowable. Moderated by artist-scholar Paul Bonin-Rodriguez\, with talks by curator Alma Ruiz and dancemaker Karen Sherman\, (Inter)facing Darkness will frame a dialogue on how artists are operating as second responders\, as thought leaders\, and resource gatherers at this time. Participants will be invited to speak on their experience of the show at this moment. Register here.

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.

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.

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:Material Identity
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to be showing two pieces in the exhibition MATERIAL IDENTITY\,  at Artworks Center for Contemporary Art\, in Loveland Colorado!\nThe show asks the question: \n“How does materiality represent who we are? Does the material you use dictate who you are as a maker? How does medium speak to who you are as an individual?” \nIn the exhibition Material Identity\, 27 artists and makers from 3 countries and 16 states explore the substance of material\, paying special attention to their place in the world\, either from a focus inward\, or how they identify in society at large. This international exhibition was juried by Jiseon Lee Isbara\, Otis College of Art and Design\, and Jessica Kooiman Parker\, Boulder Dairy Art Center. \nTour the Exhibition!\nListen to participating artists talk with Executive Director Sarah LaBarre and Curator Jessica Kooiman Parker
