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: 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: 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!
