Hill\, this exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists who challenge and expand the boundaries of painting\, drawing\, and sculpture. \nFeaturing Artists:\nGail Biederman\, Lily de Bont\, Daniel G. Hill\, Kathleen Kucka\, Steven Millar\, Gelah Penn\, David Rhodes\, Mary Schiliro\, Howard Schwartzberg\, Jan Maarten Voskuil \n“Beyond the Surface: Constructing Destruction” navigates the nuanced space between creation and disruption\, with a focus on transformative techniques and the integral role of materials in the creative process. The exhibition re-contextualizes the traditional mediums of painting and sculpture\, as each artist explores the dynamic interplay of contrasting transformations. In an era marked by global challenges\, the exhibition positions art as a platform for dialogue and positive change. It confronts self-censorship\, extends the reach of artistic expression\, and encourages viewers to investigate uncharted territories. By reexamining the familiar\, these artists discover new paths within established genres\, inspiring viewers to question and reconsider prevailing artistic notions. The exhibition underscores the importance of mastery of craft in achieving innovation\, often leading to an expansion of artistic boundaries. \nGail Biederman utilizes felt and yarn\, creating psychogeographic maps in her large-scale installations and intimate works on paper\, drawing upon experience and memory. \nLily de Bont radically reimagines the painter’s linen\, deconstructing the canvas into loose threads\, leading to complex compositions where gravity plays a pivotal role. \nDaniel G. Hill explores the physical and metaphorical roles of gravity in art\, creating self-reflexive pieces that provoke wonder and contemplation. \nKathleen Kucka uses burning as a transformative technique\, exploring rebirth and destruction through a personal language of forms and patterns. \nSteven Millar draws inspiration from diverse allusions\, from atmospheric phenomena like rainbows to symbolic objects such as memorial stones. Merging the handmade\, fabricated\, and found\, his pieces cultivate unique forms of expression. \nGelah Penn’s site-responsive installations and wall constructions blur the lines between drawing and sculpture\, orchestrating events of perceptual incident and psychological unease. \nDavid Rhodes’s paintings feature material brevity\, elemental facture and compelling visuality. He uses only black paint on canvas. The complex figure ground configurations and rhythmic pattern are typical. \nMary Schiliro experiments with acrylic paint and Mylar\, exploring the tangible versus the ephemeral as metaphors for the human condition. Her work expands the boundaries of painting and presents new possibilities for presentation. \nHoward Schwartzberg uniquely employs paint and canvas to craft shapes\, pushing beyond traditional painting boundaries and exploring the canvas’s multidimensional roles in artistic expression. \nJan Maarten Voskuil stretches painting into the third dimension\, cutting and reconstructing canvases into modular forms that blur the lines between painting\, sculpture\, design\, and architecture. \nContact: Vida Geranmayeh (917) 838-1774 vida@gallerygeranmayeh.com \nGallery hours: Wednesday through Sunday\, 12pm–6pm and by appointment \nClosing Event/Artist Reception: Thursday\, January 25\, 2024\, 5-7pm \nWestbeth Gallery\, 55 Bethune Street\, New York\, NY 10014 www.westbeth.org URL:https://westbeth.org/event/beyond-the-surface-constructing-destructiongroup-show-2/ LOCATION:Westbeth Gallery CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Construction-DestrucT-SQ-REV-_1080x1080_Constructing-Destruction_white.jpg GEO:40.737051566887;-74.009218415339 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240105T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241206T170000 DTSTAMP:20260609T192829 CREATED:20240106T231147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240116T165622Z UID:10000448-1704441600-1733504400@westbeth.org SUMMARY:First Fridays Westbeth Music Performances 2024 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://westbeth.org/event/first-fridays-music-performances/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FIRST-FRIDAYS-REV-2024-CALENDAR-.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231224T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231224T143000 DTSTAMP:20260609T192829 CREATED:20231002T030117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T013815Z UID:10000441-1703422800-1703428200@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Toby's Holiday Spectacular Penny Jones & Co Puppet Show DESCRIPTION:Click to enlarge \nClick to enlarge URL:https://westbeth.org/event/tobys-holiday-spectacular-penny-jones-co-puppet-show/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-14-at-8.35.46-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231223T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231223T203000 DTSTAMP:20260609T192829 CREATED:20231121T033922Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T013825Z UID:10000440-1703358000-1703363400@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Westbeth Movie Night: Wizard of Oz DESCRIPTION: URL:https://westbeth.org/event/westbeth-movie-night-wizard-of-oz/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/THE-WIZARD-OF-OZ-SQUARE-1-e1702611803529.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231222T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231222T213000 DTSTAMP:20260609T192829 CREATED:20231205T035452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T013835Z UID:10000437-1703264400-1703280600@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Holiday Caroling and Winter Solstice Celebration DESCRIPTION:TWO HOLIDAY EVENTS  : ALL ARE WELCOME!\nHoliday Caroling in Westbeth Lobby 5pm – 6:30pm\nWinter Solstice Celebration in Westbeth Community Room 7pm – 9:30pm\nDecember 22\, 2023\nRefreshments served URL:https://westbeth.org/event/holiday-caroling-and-winter-solstice-celebration/ LOCATION:Westbeth Lobby and Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-04-at-10.44.59-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231221T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231221T230000 DTSTAMP:20260609T192829 CREATED:20231130T175430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T013846Z UID:10000434-1703185200-1703199600@westbeth.org SUMMARY:ElderBro Holiday Jam DESCRIPTION:Thursday Dec 21\, 2023\n7pm – 10pm\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank St (enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY\nFREE PARTY\, BYOB \nElderBro is an ever expanding ensemble of musical friends of WB resident stringed instrumentalist and vocalist Marc Jacoby.

According to Charles\, a birdwatcher who was interviewed by the website\, “Hanging with House Wrens is a perfect plan since the Dickcissel is very similar in build except it has yellow streaks along its head.” \nCharles the birdwatcher further explained why a Dickcissel in the area makes for a rare bird sighting. “Dickcissels\, as birds do\, migrate south this time of year. However the Dickcissel migratory pattern originates in the Midwest and heads towards Central America. Sighting them as far north as the Big Apple City is a rare experience for bird and watcher.” \nThe Linnaean Society of New York fosters an appreciation of the natural world with a special emphasis on birds. Founded in 1878\, the Society comprises dedicated amateurs and professionals interested in the study\, preservation\, and enjoyment of nature and the environment.
