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

Through her life’s work\, Thelma Terry touched so many in the community\, but has very little presence online or in the history books. Through the efforts of Quinn Research Center\, researcher Sabrina Fields\, Virginia Avenue Park\, and 18th Street Arts Center\, Terry will finally have a Wikipedia page that matches her profound influence in the community. The Quinn Research Center provided photos and historical information on Thelma Terry from their archives for this page\, and 18th Street Arts Center was able to provide some first-hand oral history accounts from their culturemapping90404.org project. Through art-making\, sharing stories\, local history presentations\, food\, and more\, the community will celebrate Thelma Terry’s legacy at the Thelma Terry Center on Saturday March 7\, 2020 from 10am-1pm. \nNestled in Santa Monica’s Pico neighborhood\, the Thelma Terry building is a recreation facility right in the heart of Virginia Avenue Park. The building is used primarily for community gathering activities: everything from baile folklorico rehearsals to rent control information sessions. Although the essence of these activities are in line with the legacy of Thelma Terry\, only a few know about her influence in the Westside\, specifically in Venice and Santa Monica. \nThe event on March 7th will feature a community art-making activity with Debra Disman\, a presentation from Art+Feminism’s West Coast rep Stacey Allan\, memories of Mrs. Terry from her contemporaries and students\, and a call for more Santa Monicans to get involved in future Wikipedia-thons to record and write the histories of underrecognized women leaders of color in this community. For information or to get involved in a future Santa Monica-focused Wikipedia-thon\, please email sbyank@18thstreet.org.” \nRead FULL Press Release! \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\,

SUMMARY:The "HeArt of the Book" Show
DESCRIPTION:I am delighted to participate in: \nLoveland Artists Collective Presents A National Juried Book Arts Show: \nThe HeART of the Book\n \nFebruary 14th – March 28th\, 2020 \n“The book has long been treasured as a literary work of art\, but it is often forgotten in the realm of visual art.   Book arts have been around as long as humanity has been writing and reading\, but within the last couple of decades\, the book arts have become increasingly diverse and innovative.     The Loveland Artists Collective has been invited to show this group exhibition at Artworks\, which is the largest Studio Artist Community in Northern Colorado dedicated to advancing the contemporary arts and visual artists.  \n(click here for more info on Artworks).   \nArtists will be on display in the South Gallery at Artworks in downtown Loveland from February 14th – March 28th.  This exhibit will be promoted and included in the Loveland Sweetheart Festival\, which occurs February 14-16\, 2020 .  The festival is expected to bring 35\,000 visitors along with the normal foot traffic Loveland receives during this important month.”

SUMMARY:"Drawing Connections"
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to participate in the \n DRAWING CONNECTIONS | Exhibition\nat 18th Street Art Center\nFebruary 10 – August 14\, 2020\nNorth and South Galleries | 3026 Airport Avenue\nExhibition Reception and Artist Open Studios\nFebruary 22\, 2020 | 5-8 PM\n“Drawing Connections aims to trace the invisible networks between a selection of current artists in residence at 18th Street Arts Center\, both from our 18th Street campus and our Airport hangar. The show highlights how artists from different backgrounds and whose practices range from traditional to experimental art can dialogue through one of the earliest and most fundamental tools for human expression\, drawing. This process of mark-making reveals the initial creative impulse that may later take the form of a video\, a performance\, a piece of music\, an art installation\, a painting\, or a drawing itself. This curatorial exercise intends to delve into the essence of the multivalent creative practices of the artistic community of 18th Street Arts Center.” \nSee the show!

SUMMARY:Book and Paper Arts
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in this exhibition\, opening November 1st! \n \nThe juror is Anita Garza (b.1959\, Chicago\, USA) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer\, who works with handmade paper\, photography\, collage\, found objects\, assemblage and handmade books. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in art and creative non-fiction writing\, and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Book and Paper Arts. She has exhibited work internationally and is published in limited edition journals. She served as Assistant Director and Director of Community Programs at the Center for Book and Paper Arts\, at Columbia College Chicago.  Her latest work with organic material binds nature and the material world into disparate\, yet symbiotic relationships.

She serves as art editor for the international literary and arts journal\, Burningword. \nI will be showing “BedTime Story”\, featuring tiny clay faces made by my Mom\, Judy Disman.
