SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "PAPER" Presented by SITE: BROOKLYN
DESCRIPTION:“PAPER” is presented online by Site: Brooklyn\nFebruary 13\, 2025 – March 13\, 2025\nSEE THE SHOW HERE!\nThe 20th century marked the peak\, and subsequent decline\, of paper’s dominance over everyday life. “Paperwork” is still a near-universal experience\, but like everything else\, has taken a more-and-more virtual form. Paper\, unlike most artistic mediums\, is a substrate first and artistic medium second. Created from textile waste\, paper is woven very deeply into the fabric of modern life. It can be equally associated with the transformation of work\, easy replication\, industriousness\, disposability\, creativity\, and experimentation. Since its invention\, these qualities have encouraged artists to prepare\, design\, and experiment on paper. Ironically\, it was in the later part of the 20th century when artists like Dorothea Rockburne. Ed Ruscha\, and Robert Rauschenberg took the investigations of the Cubists into papier collé and developed paper as both a physical object\, and a subject. Site:Brooklyn is looking for works that continue and expand this tradition.  \nExhibition Juror\, Rachel Gladfelter\,  is the Director at Pace Paper. Previously\, she was the gallery director for the Pace Prints NYC\, a fine art print gallery specializing in original\, limited-edition prints in collaboration with printmaking affiliates\, Pace Editions and Pace Paper. Before that\, Gadfelter held the position of Studio Director for Dieu Donne Paper.  \nSite:Brooklyn Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting the current practice of contemporary artists. We are taking Site:Brooklyn online with a new series of interactive exhibitions. Our goal remains the same\, to connect artists with an expert and diverse set of jurors through the open call format. Our new program focuses on online open call exhibitions\, selected by a cast of new jurors\, solo artist features\, and spotlights.  \nSEE THE SHOW HERE!

SUMMARY:EXHIBTIONISTA: "PENDULUM" at A.D. Gallery
DESCRIPTION:I am happy to participate in the exhibition PENDULUM\, at The A.D. Gallery at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. \n“Gains/losses\, highs/lows\, submerge/emerge……our human experience swings on a pendulum. While we all aim for homeostasis\, the moments the pendulum swings are often when we feel the most alive\, when we are called to act or react. In the past 20 years\, we have faced major political\, social\, environmental\, and personal shifts. These shifts have presented us with obstacles\, challenges as well as moments for reinvention and emergence. This call looks for art that visualizes a swing in the pendulum\, a life altering moment\, a shift in the trajectory.” \nJuror: Emily Beck\nEmily Scott Beck is an interdisciplinary artist and professor in the Department of Art\, Art History and Design at the University of Notre Dame. Her work manipulates and re-contextualizes aspects of our identity that are often hidden within the layers of human communication and interaction. Using video\, animation\, photography\, sculpture\, fibers\, installation\, and sound\, she captures experiences of emotional vulnerability\, unrehearsed performances\, gender construction\, systems of belief\, and women’s labor and leadership. A focus on art as a powerful tool for visual communication and social change is a common thread between her studio practice and her teaching. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States\, including the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh\, NC\, the South Bend Museum of Art in South Bend\, IN\, Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin Texas\, and Woman Made Gallery in Chicago\, IL.\nI am showing my page-less Artists’ Book\,\n“It’s Not Black and White”\, 2021\, 9 x 22 x 7.5″\nbook board\, canvas\, paper\, typewriter ribbon\, hemp cord\, typewriter ribbon\, hemp cord\n\n\nREAD THE PRESS RELEASE!\n

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "DWELLINGS: An Exhibition of Inhabited Spaces" at ARTLINK
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in the exhibition: “DWELLINGS: An Exhibition of Inhabited Spaces” at ARTLINK\, at the Auer Center for Arts and Culture\, Fort Wayne\, Indiana. I love to get my work involved in events and shows all across the country\, in areas not considered major art centers and off the edges of the US. I find the commitment and caliber of shows\, curators/jurors\, artists and work to be audacious and  inspiring on all fronts. \n“For the exhibition DWELLINGS\, juried by Steve Garst\,  Artlink invited artists to submit works of any media that involve homes\, shelters\, forts\, nests\, burrows\, or any other forms of inhabited space used by humans or non-humans. Where a creature lays its head can be a place of refuge\, sustenance\, and identity.  They are cauldrons of growth\, filled with love\, hurt\, anger\, learning\, and memory.  Often\, homes are constructed and\, in turn\, end up constructing the lives of those who dwell within them\, for better or worse.  Artlink is excited to offer an exhibition exploring the variety of human and non-human places that serve as home\, in all its numerous manifestations.”  \nI am showing “Window Treatment”\n\nWindow Treatment\,  2018\, 13 x 38 x 9.25″\, book board/file folders/file cards/hemp cord\, wax\n \n

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "REWRITING HER STORY" at the Hera Gallery
DESCRIPTION:“Writer Elizabeth Lesser asks “What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her?” \nFlipping through the pages of your high school history textbook\, how many stories are written about women as monumental protagonists? When was the last time you watched a movie that passed the Bechdel test? When was the last time there were more women than men on the Supreme Court voting on the right to our bodies?  \nAs brands of “faux” feminism partnered with consumerist culture push out media representing women’s liberation through a patriarchal gaze\, how can we reclaim the visual language to share more authentic stories? How can our art share the stories of women\, trans women\, and non-binary folks written out of the history books? How does your work give voice to the overlooked and underrepresented?  \nHera Gallery presents 52 works that rewrite this cultural consciousness for a more inclusive human history.” \nI am honored to have two pieces in this salient exhibition\, and participate in a small way\, in Rewriting Her/Our/Their Story.\nWHITE ZIP\n\n \nand \nINTO THE BUSH\n\n \nPlease see the SHOW here.\n

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "White and Texture (Monochrome Unity)" at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in  “White & Texture [Monochrome Unity]” at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod! \nAs the call stated: \n“Artists were invited to explore the profound subtleties and striking complexities of using white as the driving color and how texture within the white and informs the execution and the narrative of an artwork\, as well as to to explore the effect of this limitation – without a “conventional” color palette. \nWhen the artist is freed from tradition\, from expectation\, and from the weight of history\, there is an opportunity for release\, exploration\, and the unexpected. For White and Texture [Monochrome Unity]\, artworks were sought that find the emotion without using color. Uniformity\, tranquility universality\, simplicity\, purity\, or abstraction may all come to the surface and create a beautiful tension between what is missing – color\, tradition\, and form – and what is gained – innovation and the unexpected. \nOur desire from the artist is not the search for simplicity but the discovery of a new way of creating and a different way of expression. We hope Monochrome Unity will drive the artist to look for new solutions to an artistic challenge; to use shades of white and embrace texture to provide the ‘color’ that will then provide the energy and emotion. \nUsing the work of such artists as Michael Buthe\, Piero Manzoni\, Joan Nixon\, and ceramic sculptor Maria Barttuszova provide us with a broad template of the experience to create in the Cultural Center. \nWhite & Texture [Monochrome Unity] will fill our galleries\, creating a visual harmony and coherence and like never before\, give a visitor experience like no other.” \nI am showing WHITE ZIP\n21.25″ x 20.5″ x .25″\, canvas\, acrylic paint\, lace\, zipper\, hemp cord\, linen thread\, wood\n\n(detail) \n

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "We Are Doing It All Wrong"
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to participate in the 4th  annual exhibition We Are Doing It All Wrong\, presented at the Edward A. Dixon Gallery\, Dayton\, OH. \nWe’re Doing It ALL Wrong open sas a two month long exhibition beginning August 2\, 2024. Planned by the Edward A. Dixon Gallery\, the it is a challenge to artists and viewers to recognize\, react and learn about the many ways humanity continually fails itself.  These issues are not always mainstream and sometimes are hidden.  Artwork from the prior exhibitions touched on topics such as sky high drug prices\, the environment & climate change\, dependence on technology\, social injustice\, Native American women disappearances\, homelessness\, gaslighting and the suffering caused by avocado farming in Mexico.  Artists are encouraged to submit work that captures or is a comment on a tradition\, a system\, a practice\, an institution or anything they see that needs to be changed for the betterment of humanity or our planet.  View the online version of the previous exhibitions at weredoingitallwrong.com. \nAnother ambitious goal of the exhibition is to find a signature artwork\, that while keeping to the exhibition’s theme\, defines our current period in history from the artist’s point of view.  One art piece can tell so many stories and the goal is to find a piece that will speak to future generations and tell a story about our time. —Ed Dixon\, owner and curator of the Edward A. Dixon Gallery.  Mr. Dixon is a long-time patron of the Arts\, former record company executive\, blogger and owner of the Downtown Dayton gallery for over 6 years.\n \nEntries were also judged by judged by two other industry professionals Photographer Stacy Kranitz and Professor Judith L.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "Evidence of Joy" at Intersect Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:“EVIDENCE OF JOY” is a group exhibition curated by April Parviz\, who says:\n“Today I went to the doctor. On the sign-in station there sat a small snowman made from an old salt and pepper shaker. His head was a little styrofoam ball. His hat was the lid of the shaker\, and inside his little bottle tummy were a bunch of what looked to be miniature cotton-balls. As I waited to be checked in\, I observed the fact that someone had made it. She didn’t have to. But she was perhaps feeling the joy of winter\, and she wanted to share her joy. The snowman wasn’t sitting in her home\, it was sitting here\, for me to enjoy. And I did enjoy it. The reflection that she had experienced joy in making it\, and the fact that she had done it selflessly\, with no expectation of thanks\, brought me joy.  \nAfter my reflection on the sweet little snowman\, I began to see evidence of someone else’s joy\, intentionally being shared with strangers\, everywhere I went. The person in the house five doors from mine\, has a little jar of complimentary dog treats out on a bird feeder hanger in their yard\, right by the sidewalk. People have lovely seasonal wreaths hanging on the outside of their front doors\, not on the inside. Painted rocks are mysteriously left in people’s gardens by strangers. I’m sure that now I’m aware of this\, I’ll be seeing evidence of joy everywhere. And strangers will discover footprints of my own joy\, making their footprints joyful too. \nWhen I look at the current world of art\, I feel like I see a lot of evidence of many inspiring things\, but not always so much joy.  I know in my own art practice\, I am often fueled by loud palpable emotions like pain and confusion. Perhaps if I begin practicing using joy as fuel\, I will begin to do it more habitually. Perhaps if we practice seeing joy more we can become habitual joy detectives.  \nShow me all the joy! I want to see and share artwork made in joy\, artwork made upon discovering evidence of joy\, and work that is just pure joy to look at! “\nEvidence of Joy Dovetail Reception | 8.6.24 | \nby Mary Oliver\, 2017\n“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy\, \ndon’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty \nof lives and whole towns destroyed or about \nto be. We are not wise\, and not very often \nkind. And much can never be redeemed. \nStill\, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this \nis its way of fighting back\, that sometimes \nsomething happens better than all the riches \nor power in the world. It could be anything\, \nbut very likely you notice it in the instant \nwhen love begins. Anyway\, that’s often the \ncase. Anyway\, whatever it is\, don’t be afraid \nof its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.” \nI am thrilled to have two pieces in the show: \nNarrow Bridge\, 5.5 x 16 x 3.5″\, board\, paper\, fabric\, linen thread\nand\nBedTime Story\, 12 x 28 x 8.5″\, book board\, textiles\, cloth\, clay\, beads\, hemp cord\, watercolor paper\n\nSEE THE SHOW PAGE!\nSEE THE SHOW VIDEO!\nVIEW THE CATALOGUE!\n  \n  \n

It captures the journey of introspection and self-discovery\, where one navigates the labyrinthine corridors of one’s own mind\, seeking clarity among the tumult of thoughts and emotions.  \nDuring their inner reflections\, the individuals grapple with existential questions\, confronting their fears\, desires\, and vulnerabilities with raw honesty in solitude. It embraces the inherent human longing for understanding and truth\, inviting the individual to confront their inner darkness and embrace the transformative power of self-reflection. \nThe Bridge Arts Foundation is dedicated to amplifying the voices of artists and promoting their exceptional work on a global scale. Their aim is to provide an unparalleled platform for emerging talents\, enabling international recognition and celebrating diverse expressions across various artistic mediums. \n“Our mission is straightforward yet profound: we strive to empower our community through immersive experiences that inspire collaboration and forge meaningful connections among creative thinkers spanning all continents.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: INTERPLAY with the SDA
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in INTERPLAY\, organized by the SDA!(The awesome Surface Design Association!)Presented at the The Dairy Barn Arts Center’s O’Bleness Gallery8000 Dairy LaneAthens\, OH 45701June 28 – September 5\, 2024Opening Reception:June 28\, 6 – 8PM\nSEE THE SHOW HERE! \nInterplay presents works that explore parallels\, synergies\, or tensions between two or more ideas. Artworks may examine connections between seemingly unrelated concepts\, map relationships between maker and materials\, or reflect interactions between maker and tools. Works employ traditional\, interdisciplinary\, or collaborative methodologies. \nHonoring the diverse range of approaches within fiber art and highlighting the rich tapestry of multicultural links\, Interplay looks toward a future informed by the past\, bringing together ideas for fresh reflection\, reinterpretation\, and deeper understanding. \nJUROR\nDue to her inimitable curiosity\, Annet Couwenberg has pursued the ongoing conversations between traditional textile production and digital technologies throughout her art and teaching career. Couwenberg’s art\, informed by her early work in the fashion industry\, is diverse and includes sculptural forms and jacquard weavings as well as work with fish fossils and skeletons inspired by her study with a fish scientist as a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow at the National Museum of Natural History. Couwenberg’s interdisciplinary work has demonstrated her capacity to create new realms. As a researcher of both traditional textiles and emerging techniques\, she embraces a multi-directional knowledge exchange between new and established\, creating art that visualizes methodologies to protect and preserve traditional practices while also expanding upon them. Born in The Netherlands\, Couwenberg moved to the United States to receive MFA degrees at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art. She has worked internationally\, including in Korea\, Turkey\, Germany\, Italy\, Portugal\, Poland\, and The Netherlands. \n Mark your calendars for Wednesday\, July 31\, 2PM ET for the Interplay Textile Talk and be on the lookout for our online gallery –  links coming soon!

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: WHISPER at Verum Ultimum Gallery
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in WHISPER! at Verum Ultimum Gallery in Portland. \nI will be showing: \n“Excavation of the Interior“ (shown closed and open below) 12 x 28 x 12.5″\, wood\, paper\, cloth\, hemp cord\, linen thread     Says Owner and Curator Jennifer Gillia Cutshall: “…when the murmur from art echoes beyond the walls & settles somewhere secret.  And “Whisper” with an exclamation may signal contradictions or dualities.  The term carries symbolism pertinent to the momentous occasion\, but it also carries mystery to be filled in by artists’ interpretations.  Verum is open to all perceptions of this theme.  Delicate expressions are presented\, as are bold\, and the term WHISPER may be framed in many ways\, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. All mediums and modes of expression were welcomed..  Verum Ultimum Gallery tasks artists to define this inaugural exhibition to herald in Verum’s new space in Southeast Portland this summer of 2024!” \n  \n

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: 37th Annual Northern National Art Competition
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to show\, “Hopes and Fears and…” in this exhibition at the  Nicolet College Art Gallery !\n\n24.5 x 16.25″\, textile samples\, linen thread \nThe 37th Northern National Art Competition will be held in Rhinelander\, Wisconsin\, from June 13 – July 27\, 2024\, at the Nicolet College Art Gallery. Began in 1987\, this show is a cooperative venture between Nicolet College Arts & Enrichment and the Northern Arts Council (NAC). The Northern National Art Competition strives to showcase a cross section of contemporary art in a variety of two-dimensional mediums. Each year\, hundreds of artists nationwide submit work to be considered for inclusion in this exhibition\, and the art is always both visually exciting and intellectually stimulating. \nView the show!\nCURATORIAL STATEMENT \nMany people wonder what goes on in the selection process of a juror for an art competition. I suspect that most of the work to which a juror responds resonates with that person for a variety of reasons\, and yet we are all programmed with certain pre-dispositions. \nThe numerous entries for the Northern National competition represented a huge range of work with about two-thirds being representational. My eye moved toward work in diverse media\, work that had texture\, and anything that found a way to address current environmental or global concerns with a certain indirectness. \nI like to get a sense of both the pleasure and struggle in an art-making process. When an artist seems to reach\, experiment\, and allow their work to be less buttoned-up or seamlessly complete\, it becomes infused with energy. Drawing\, painting\, and photography have dominated our realm for a long time. There is still much to be explored in these areas. But in the past decade or less\, textiles and fiber art have fully entered into the contemporary art world\, bringing a freshness of exploration and a reevaluation of histories. We can now look to craft traditions around the world and contemplate how they inspired later art movements\, or how the domestic work and pastimes of women actually parallel the fine arts world more closely than we had previously allowed. We are in a time of diversification in the art world\, where artists of color\, women\, and LBGTQ artists are addressing important issues of identity\, cultural oppression\, and the occlusions of history. And while this is going in\, it is prying open ways of seeing the world and providing access to more means of expression to discuss pertinent issues. \nThe art world has never been better or more confused than it is now. We are called upon to think more broadly. If you are a landscape artist making beautiful watercolor paintings of rivers and fields\, can you push your thinking? Can you ask yourself hard questions? Why am I making this? What does it mean? More importantly\, what does it mean now\, in the context of this era? \nIf you are a photographer seeking beauty in the sky or national parks\, is there a way to address both the beauty and the dire needs of land conservancy and resource protection? Not all art needs to be political. But it should have a tug. It should nudge the viewer toward curiosity and wonder.”\nDebra Brehmer \nView the show!
