SUMMARY:Beyond the Surface:  Constructing DestructionGroup Show
DESCRIPTION:Click to enlarge \nShow Dates: January 5 – January 25\, 2024 \nWestbeth Gallery is pleased to launch its 2024 season with “Beyond the Surface: Constructing Destruction.” Curated by Vida Geranmayeh and Daniel G. 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

SUMMARY:Olive Ayhens Reconnections - In Kinship with Nature\, and Secrets in Place
DESCRIPTION:Lettuce Lake (detail) SECRETS IN PLACE at Tayloe Piggott Gallery Dec 14 – Feb 4\, 2024 \nWaves (detail) RECONNECTIONS – IN KINSHIP WITH NATURE United Nations Headquarters Nov 30 – Jan 15\, 2024 \n\nRECONNETIONS – IN KINSHIP WITH NATURE\nNov 30 – Jan 15\, 2024\nUnited Nations Headquarters\nUnited Nations Exhibition Space\n405 East 45th Street\nNew York\, NY \nVisitors have to check in at the Visitors Center at 1st Avenue and East 45th Street and  pass through a security check before entering building. \nRe-Connections: In Kinship With Nature blends artistic expression with environmental activism. The artists address the urgent need to live more responsibly within the Earth’s finite resources. Witness to floods\, rising waters and other man-made threats\, they imagine a future where we live in harmony with nature and feel an obligation to work together to take action and reverse this trend. \nSECRETS IN PLACE\nDec 14 – Feb 4\, 2024\nTayloe Pigott Gallery\nJackson Hole\, Wyoming \nSecrets in Place\, Ayhens’s first exhibition at Tayloe Piggott Gallery\, presents a selection of oil paintings and ink and watercolor works from the mid-1990s to the present. For the past forty years\, Ayhens has focused much of her practice on the creation of environmental allegories\, each as whimsical as they are catastrophic\, which fuse antithetical and imaginary worlds into “jumbled panoramas\,” according to Hyperallergic’s Stephen Maine. Her inventive contemporary landscapes amalgamate nature and man-made environments\, creating implausible realms of juxtaposed skyscrapers perched on cliffsides… \nMore about Olive Ayhens HERE

SUMMARY:Unnatural Processes Group Exhibition Closing Party
DESCRIPTION:Closing Party Thursday July 27 6p – 8p\nOpening Reception: Friday\, June 30\, 2023 6pm – 8pm\nOn View: June 30–July 28\, 2023\nHours: Wednesday–Sunday\, 1–6pm \nWestbeth Gallery\, 57 Bethune Street\, New York\, NY 10014 \n“Throwing light onto the unnatural\, reflecting on and exploring new connections with non-human systems.” \nWestbeth Gallery is pleased to present a group show curated by Valérie Hallier. Unnatural Processes is an exhibition that asks the questions: What is “Nature”? What is “Natural”? \nArtists:: Aston Philip\, Christina Massey\, Jean Foos\, Katherine Bennett\, Linda Loh\, Roxane Revon\, Tessa Grundon and Valérie Haller.  \nNature is an all encompassing entity that exists without humans. Yet\, it is impossible to think of humanity as an entity that could exist without nature. Seeing humanity and all its actions as part of nature is more reasonable. French anthropologist\, Philippe Descola\, observes 4 ways of “being” in the world as humans: animism\, totemism\, analogism and naturalism. If we agree that our thought processes are firmly welded into Western philosophy\, prizing the rational\, scientific\, and logical\, we can then agree that we embody naturalism. Yet as artists we are open to other ways of being\, thinking\, and seeing. The work of the eight international artists featured in this show revisits our contemporary relationship with the non-human. A great variety of mediums and processes are all centered around new ways to visualize and interact with our environment: virtual\, real\, or re-created. \nLinda Loh’s virtual world reveals fleeting spaces beyond everyday experiences. Roxane Revon maps out the underground ecosystem of specific locations. Similarly\, Tessa Grundon’s work is rooted in “places”\, reflecting on our current Anthropocene. Aston Philip creates an ecosystem of the painters tools and materials with each part incorporated and recycled. Jean Foos\, Valérie Hallier and Christina Massey’s mixed media sculptures each bring new life to discarded objects\, eloquently commenting on consumerism and climate change. Foos\, Hallier and Massey also give a nod to Surrealism as they fabricate pieces with unexpected\, “unnatural” combinations. Katherine Bennett’s interactive installation is inspired by hidden networks drawing upon marine organisms and communication networks. \nAbout the Artists\n_____________________________________________________________________________ \nAston Philip is a painter who has expanded his practice into a process based ecosystem. This includes collaging\, weaving and sculpting cured paint-skins and chips and incorporating the tools of painting back into his works. Aston’s fascination with the interconnected systems and relationships in the natural world direct his own purview of painting. \nJean Foos paints patterns on found objects. Stacking shapes to make a totem or arranging branches into a colorful standing bundle\, she gives them a new power and dimension. The title of Foos’ tower\, Convulsive Beauty in the Fur Teacup Bar\, evokes Méret Oppenheim’s surrealist objects and her thinking about the concrete realization of irrationality. “I respond to shapes\, natural (fallen tree branches) and unnatural (manufactured packaging material). I am not a sculptor\, per se\, my forms are available ready-made.” \nValérie Hallier improvises with collected pressed flower petals of many colors and shapes to create abstract collages that reflect her inner workings. Inspired by Surrealist automatism\, the artist tries to suppress conscious control over the visual result. This process expresses the longing for a communion with the world around her. \n–Hallier’s work follows an integrative continuum that utilizes technology\nas tool and object\, generating an exquisite tension between the humanistic\nand mechanistic sense of Being.” —Judith Escalona  \nChristina Massey’s mixed media sculptures are created with blown glass\, repurposed aluminum sourced from craft beer cans\, and other found materials such as wire\, copper and plastics. The sculptures appear organic\, like surreal alien plant forms. These bulbs act as crystal balls in a sense\, a commentary on the predictive nature of trying to measure and adapt to Climate Change. \nKatherine Bennett’s interactive installation\, Luciferins\, is about making network traffic perceptible\, and by extension\, our awareness of the ubiquitous digital infrastructure that surrounds\, connects\, and ultimately tracks us. Viewers walk through large felted structures\, awakening graphical portals depicting invisible network traffic of popular websites\, sound from other locations\, and\nairwave activity. \n“One’s physicality makes the work come to life—just as a swimmer makes bioluminescent marine organisms illuminate\, generating luciferins (a light-emitting compound). Suddenly\, one can see the invisible activity that surrounds them.”\n—Katherine Bennett  \nRoxane Revon is a multidisciplinary artist and scenographer examining the inner workings of “nature” and intrigued by the symbiotic relationships between humans and vegetal beings. She makes her viewers question their relationship to the earth and the various forms of life that grow in and out of it. Revon zooms in on the invisible\, making us take a deeper look at our own origins and foundations. She brings us to a place of restored fertility and rebirth\, allowing for new ways of grounding and reviving visions of the self. \nLinda Loh navigates the elusive form and materiality of digital space with transformed sources of light. Motivated by curiosity\, she thinks digital media is as slippery as the nature of mind; her abstract composites leave little obvious for the rational mind to grasp. Her work for this exhibition is a luminous\, color-saturated\, non-ordinary ‘world’\, revealing fleeting spaces beyond everyday experience. \nTessa Grundon uses material from nature as well as man-made elements. Her work is deeply rooted to the history of a place\, as she considers the geological age with human activity being the dominant influence on the landscape and climate. Our environment is ever-changing: the rising and increasingly polluted tides; man’s effect on community and landscape; and man’s shared visual language of natural forms. All of these come together is Grundon’s work as she explores contemporary environmental issues. \nARTIST BIOS\n_______________________________________________________________________________ \nKatherine Bennett is a new media\, fiber\, and installation artist\, who builds interactive systems exploring our emerging futures of the digital experience. She codes and incorporates sensors\, electronics\, fibers and computer vision to create her pieces. She is fascinated by the liminal spaces created by digital communities and the cultural changes that result. She is a NYSCA recipient and has been awarded many grants\, including Harvestworks. She has exhibited at Inst-Int\, ISEA\, Maryland Art Place\, ZKM\, Indianapolis Art Center and The University of the Arts. She runs LadyK Studios in Brooklyn.\nhttps://www.katherinebennett.net/ @ladykstudios/ \nJean Foos paints found objects with rich colors and patterned surfaces. For her site-specific installations Foos favors ad hoc urban settings\, such as long-abandoned buildings and community gardens. Her sculptures have been exhibited at Local Project Art Space LIC\, Hal Bromm Gallery\, Empirical Nonsense Gallery\, York College (CUNY)\, King Manor Museum\, Susquehanna Art Museum\, La Mama Galleria\, Governors Island (4heads AIR)\, and Le Petit Versailles Garden.\nhttps://jeanfoos.com/ @foosnyc \nTessa Grundon is a British artist working on both sides of the Atlantic. Her work is rooted in “place” using elements of the landscape to explore environmental issues. In recent years she has been based on Governors Island in NYC Harbor working with arts and science organizations including SWALE\, Urban Soil Institute\, NYU Gallatin’s “Wetlab”\, Works on Water\, Underwater New York and the Virtual Volcano Observatory focusing on engagement with the environment and education. She works with Artist Space as a teaching artist on the Lower East Side and past residencies and partnerships include Brooklyn Navy Yard\, Art.Earth\, I-Park Foundation\, Wave Hill\, PLACE Collective and Sail Britain.\nwww.tessagrundon.com @tessa.grundon \nBorn in France\, Valérie Hallier came to NYC with a Fulbright Scholarship and graduated from the SVA in Computer Arts.

SUMMARY:PRINT PAINT: The interaction of printmaking and painting by 12 Westbeth artists
DESCRIPTION:October 8 – November 12\, 2022\nOpening Reception Saturday Oct 8. 5pm – 8pm \nWalking Tour Artist Talk October 22\, 2022 3pm – 5pm\nPRINT/PAINT is an exhibition of twelve multidisciplinary and long-term Westbeth residents initially intended to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Westbeth Graphics Studio in 2020. After a two-year postponement due to the COVID pandemic\, the show opens with a new concept in Westbeth Gallery\, honoring the Graphics Studio and highlighting possibilities of printmaking by placing it in direct conversation with painting.  \nBeyond these twelve artists\, within Westbeth\, there is an array of communities and sub-communities dedicated to a continued and specific practice. PRINT/PAINT is ultimately a celebration of the versatility of artists’ practices that thrive in the creative oasis where lifelong experimentation is encouraged and expected. Residency in Westbeth has offered these artists a platform to share their expressions in print and painting form with freedom and support. PRINT/PAINT is an example of what can be when access\, funding\, and support collide with an unfettered creative process.  \n– from Introductory Essay by Izzy Nova \nParticipating Artists\nJuanita McNeely (b.1936\, St. Louis\, MO) moved to New York in 1967 and became entrenched in the city’s artistic community and feminist collectives. Her depiction of the human figure displays extreme physicality—pairing angst and pain in close tandem with a sheer pleasure of existence in body and mind. With the challenges of patriarchal discourse and illness from an early age\, McNeely’s art is a lifeline that transforms notions of who may and may not handle certain imagery.

DESCRIPTION:Opening Tuesday Sept 6\, 2022 from 6PM – 8PM\nReservations: www.framing.eventbrite.com \nSept 7 – Sept 30\, 2022\nRevelation Gallery\n218 West 11th Street\nNYC \nCurated by Mark Kehoe\, Framing the Village group exhibition at the Revelation Gallery at St John’s in the Village\, demonstrates that the arts continue to flourish across Greenwich Village and the East Village. The show features the work of more than 30 painters and photographers who either live in or have close ties with the area bounded by !4th and Houston Streets\, and the Hudson and East Rivers. Embracing oil painting\, watercolor\, analog and digital photography\, all the work in Framing the Village – the inaugural Village Trip art show – has been created by living artists who continue to be inspired by neighborhoods that have been a center of fine arts since the late 19th century. \nChristina Maile “Mom” \n“Mom” was taken on Hudson Street near Perry St. To me\, it resonates   with the idea of Greenwich Village as a place where people escaped repression\, intolerance and misunderstanding – things often  associated with their families.  Symbolized by the disposal of the “old news” about themselves  along with the mythic ties to “Mom”\, the photo is  a proclamation of liberation. \nChristina Maile  is a writer\, printmaker\, and a landscape architect. She has  received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant\, a Joan Mitchell Studio Grant  and was twice awarded a Miriam Chaikin Foundation Grant for Writing.\nchristinamaile.com\ninstagram @mailestudios \n \nAnn Hamilton is a mixed media artist and clothing designer. Her work combines mixed media with found objects\, incorporating watercolor\, hand knitting\, stitching\, and vintage fabric.\nannhamiltontextileart.com\ninstagram @ah-_textile_art \n“Framing the Village” is part of the Villge Trip Festival 2022\n \nMore Info at: https://www.thevillagetrip.com/program-2022/

SUMMARY:Barbara Slitkin   Elsewhere NYAC Group Show
DESCRIPTION:The New York Artists Circle presents Elsewhere\, an exhibition that traverses the dimensions outside of our immediate present\, featuring the work of 25 NYAC visual artists. Curated by Hayley Ferber\, on view from Thursday\, September 1\, 2022 – Monday\, October 31\, 2022 on the NYAC website. \nElsewhere evokes a place or state of mind outside of our current condition\, a realm of mystery\, longing\, fear or comfort.  These works dictate a sense of place through color\, shape and texture\, resulting in a nebulous impression that feels familiar and alien all at once. \nThe artists in this exhibit meditate on the meaning of “place”\, exploring the physical\, philosophical and spiritual interpretations.  Reflecting on universal elements of reality as well as abstract and intangible concepts\, these artists depict ideas of identity\, time\, and space through their works\, seeking to understand fundamental truths about their relationships to the world. \n Please join us!  You’re invited on the artists’ journeys of discovery and reflection to Elsewhere. \nArtists\nMarianne Barcellona\, Fran Beallor\, Irene Christensen\, Jane Dell\, Karen Fitzgerald\, Lynne Friedman\, David Alon Friedman\, Pearl Rosen Golden\, Eleanor Goldstein\, Norma Greenwood\, Susan Grucci\, Alice Harrison\, Arthur Kvarnstrom\,\nAida Markiw\, Kristin Reed\, Jacqueline Sferra Rada\, Holly Meeker Rom\,\nGale Rothstein\, Ann R.
