The show is curated by artist James Gortner. \nRarely in the contemporary art conversation is family and fatherhood considered a defining characteristic of an artist’s life\, motivation\, and/or artistic practice\, and it is dismissed as a barrier to the full realization one’s artistic potential. The featured artists have many differences – different stages in their careers\, diverse backgrounds and work across many mediums – but they are all dads who make art. It is the point of this exhibition to highlight a unique kind of familial artist identity\, and activate your feelings about each work knowing this identity is present. \nThe Dads exhibition will survey artworks by the following 36 artists: \n\nGregory Amenoff\nAnthony Boone\nGerald Cannon\nStanley Casselman\nJean Clanche\nGrayson Cox\nMark Dion\nBrock Enright\nDomenic Esposito\nJames Gortner\nMichael Guillard\nStephen Hall\n \n\nAdam Handler\nMarc Handelman\nBradley Hart\nHans Haveron\nJon Kessler\nGene Kiegel\nRick Klauber\nReiner Leist\nHenry Leutwyler\nRob MacInnis\nMatt Mullican\nAntonio Murado \n\n\nJeff Muhs\nYigal Ozari\nNick Paparone\nMourrice Papi\nFahamu Pecou\nRobert Roest\nMeir Srebriansky\nJacob Taylor\nFrancisco Vidal\nTomas Vu\nJohan Wahlstrom\nMark Zimmerman \n\n\n\nFor all appointments and press inquiries\, contact\nJames Gortner +1 310 463 9778 JamesGortner.art@gmail.com \nDADS OPENING RECEPTION Oct 13\, 2023 URL:https://westbeth.org/event/dads-a-group-exhibition-of-artists-who-are-also-fathers/ LOCATION:Westbeth Gallery CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/DADS-Show-8.5x11_FINAL-updated-e1695669347638.png GEO:40.737051566887;-74.009218415339 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230919T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231031T170000 DTSTAMP:20260423T151958 CREATED:20230701T183609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231031T233313Z UID:10000396-1695110400-1698771600@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Profiles in Art: Carol Nolte Choreographer and Artistic Director of WestFest DESCRIPTION: URL:https://westbeth.org/event/carol-nolte/ LOCATION:Online and Info at Westbeth Gallery CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Carol-Nolte-Profiles-in-Art-SQUARE-e1695149081563.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230914T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240125T170000 DTSTAMP:20260423T151958 CREATED:20230228T172914Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240613T164156Z UID:10000160-1694707200-1706202000@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Feldenkrais Class with Doron Tadmor.

This September\, Wade will be opening a one-person Selective Retrospective with drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures dating from 1964 to the present. \n“I began making art in the early 1960s while living on the Island state of Tasmania; 125 miles off the SE coast of Australia. Four years later\, back in the USA\, my first American exhibition (1968) was at the Corcoran Museum\, Washington DC; I exhibited a series of large Zig-Zag paintings.\nThe images to follow represent selected work from early 60s (Tasmania/Melbourne)\, work done in Washington (67-69)\, ultimately concluding with NYC during the 70s-80s up to the present.\nOn New Years’ day 1970\, my family and I moved from Washington\, DC into the WestBeth Artist Housing. With us\, a huge crate\, that had followed us from Melbourne\, to London\, to Washington DC to New York City. The crate was packed solid with paintings and drawings that I had done in Australia\, and weighed nearly 1500 lbs . We gratefully accepted management’s offer of storage space in the basement facing the Westside Highway.\nLong story short—there was a flood.\n‘BIRD IN THE BUSH’ #9 was one of many dozens of BIRD’s & NUDE’s in the BUSH I painted during my 2 years in Tasmania.

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.

Based on a sestina by Louisa Bieler and Leviticus/Jeremiah\, Abyss expresses the pain and suffering of people. Michael Moss joins his Ensemble on clarinet for this piece. Far Away\, Op.89 (2023) (World Premiere) is described by Lerescu “As if somewhere\, in the distance (Far Away)\, a refrain resounds…”New York\, New York.” Suggested by the immensity of the ocean\, the sonorities of the piano – sometimes close to rhythms and melodic fragments of an almost improvised discourse – are juxtaposed with those of the instrumental ensemble (2 violins\, viola\, cello\, contrabass).” \nWestbeth Artists Residents Council sponsors a musical event the First Friday of every month at 7PM in the Westbeth Community Room URL:https://westbeth.org/event/first-fridays-michael-moss-with-sorin-lerescu-bows-ensemble-for-strings-and-piano/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FIRST-FRIDAYS-with-Michael-Moss-FINAL-SQUARE-e1681779147992.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230422T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230423T150000 DTSTAMP:20260423T151958 CREATED:20230323T225157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230412T215906Z UID:10000180-1682161200-1682262000@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Monotype Print Workshop with Amanda Barrow DESCRIPTION:One Day Monotype Workshop\nSaturday April 22\, 2023 11AM – 3PM\nor\nSunday April 23\, 2023 11AM – 3PM \n$30 all materials included \nTo register\, email : URL:https://westbeth.org/event/monotype-print-workshop-with-amanda-barrow/ LOCATION:Westbeth Print Studio CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Monoprint-workshop-SQ.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230323T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230323T203000 DTSTAMP:20260423T151958 CREATED:20230214T040516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230328T023507Z UID:10000170-1679598000-1679603400@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Westbeth Movie Night: Faces Places DESCRIPTION:Thursday March 23\, 2023 at 7PM \nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank Street b/w West and Washington StsNYC\nenter through courtyard URL:https://westbeth.org/event/westbeth-movie-night-faces-places/ LOCATION:Westbeth Community Room CATEGORIES:past-events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://westbeth.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/FWestbeth-Movie-Night-aces-Places-poster-SQUARE-SIZE-e1678763550781.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230317T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230317T210000 DTSTAMP:20260423T151958 CREATED:20230220T164015Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230318T205538Z UID:10000158-1679079600-1679086800@westbeth.org SUMMARY:Bobby Harden performs in St Patrick's Celebration with special guest Eve Zanni DESCRIPTION:Friday March 17\, 2023 7PM – 9PM\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank St\nb/w Washington and Bank St\nenter through courtyard\nNYC \nBobby Harden\, New York City’s finest singing Soul sensation\, is thrilling audiences all across the planet as lead singer of the world-famous Original Blues Brothers Band.

Self-curated with input from independent curator Lilly Wei\, the exhibition will feature seven distinct bodies of work and that explore modernist strategies of fragmentation and re-composition. Produced over a 50-year career\, the 100 pieces in the exhibition will be exhibited together for the first time charting the depth and breadth of Hall’s varied interests and talent. \nSince 1970\, Joan Hall has been using collage and assemblage to explore different cultures\, times and places. She creates imaginary spaces and newly arranged realities that have dreamlike qualities infused with humor and irony. Her assemblages tell stories by giving found objects new meanings resulting from unexpected juxtapositions and placements. \nExhibition Highlights \nPARROQUIN DREAMS – Collages inspired by the magic and fantasy of the Parroquia\, a grand neo-gothic church in San Miguel de Allende\, Mexico\, known for its soaring pink spires and lofty ornate sanctuary. \nMEXICO MI AMOR – Collages featuring various landmarks in Mexico. \nTHE PARIS PROJECT – Assemblages inspired by drawings of everyday objects by a young French art student found by Hall in a Paris flea market. After finding the six original drawings\, Hall set out to find the actual objects in the drawings to combine them and related objects in assemblages. Hall made the additional drawings to expand the series.\nICONS – Found object assemblages that combine natural and man-made objects creating archetypal figures. \nSTRINGS ATTACHED – A play on traditional needlepoint with edgy subject matter made with embroidery hoops\, thread and burlap printed with photographic images.\nBOXED DREAMS – Surrealistic fantasies made with found objects in wooden boxes. \nTHE PARCEL PROJECT – Mixed media parcels ostensibly sent to Hall from all over the world. Each parcel has an image of a landmark from where it was sent. \nJILL’S ROOM – A mixed media\, interactive art piece composed of three boxes – Room 1\, 2\, and 3. The viewer looks through an opening in the box and sees a furnished room. Using mirrors\, the room appears to change\, creating illusion of infinite space. The viewer is reflected inside the room.

The artists in the show examine and diagnose the physical\, mental\, and social symptoms of our disordered world\, exploring concepts of building\, accumulating\, amassing\, and the resulting spasms\, bursts\, explosions\, and attacks. \n\nMarch 1 – March 26\nJOAN HALL: A 50 YEAR RETROSPECTIVE SOLO SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nJoan Hall’s retrospective presents different groups of work in the mediums of collage and assemblage. Each room in the gallery is devoted to a series of work created at different stages of the artist’s life: Icons (figurative assemblages)\, collage\, room and parcels (assemblages utilizing mirrors so the viewer sees themselves as if inside)\, string attached (a contemporary spin on old fashioned embroidery)\, the Paris project (conceptual mixed-media assemblages) and box constructions (Surrealistic found-object assemblages). \n\nMarch 29 – April 30\nLUMINOUS ELSEWHERES (outside Westbeth)\n\nLuminous Elsewheres features the work of artists who have honed a vision of a personal ‘elsewhere’ that embodies its own radiant dimensionality. These visual explorations open up new ways of seeing\, feeling and perceiving. Sourced primarily through intuition and the process of art making itself\, the works included in this exhibit bring viewers closer to what Susan Sontag described as “the luminousness of the thing in itself.” Organized by Karen Fitzgerald\, Denise Manteau and Alison Cuomo. \n\nMay 3 – May 28\nISA HO: RESONANCE – WESTBETH PROJECT (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis exhibition embodies my memories\, which I share with the artists. I captured the essence of these beautiful and powerful people in my own way. The exhibition showcases a selection of works from 2013 to the present\, including photography\, videos\, and documentaries\, as well as a new NFT installation created in collaboration with artist Chen\, Zhao-Hua. Additionally\, the exhibition features portraits of the artists displayed alongside their work at the Westbeth artist housing. Through close contact for a long period of time\, Isa Ho interviewed the tenants and used photography to explore the possibilities of life in different circumstances. 3D installations in the exhibition\, using video and photography\, reproduce the adaptations that the artists had made to their living space as their bodies aged. \n\nMay 31 – June 25\nRUTGERS UNIVERSITY GROUP SHOW: PLAYBACK (outside Westbeth)\n\nPlayback\, a group exhibition at Westbeth Gallery\, links the interplay among biography\, narrative\,and experience across a disparate set of artistic practices developed by Rutgers University visual\nart MFA graduates. First year MFA students Em Gallagher\, Andrew Kennedy\, Kabi Lama\,Maura Torres\, and Anton Varga have joined instructors Park McArthur and Jason Hirata inorganizing a presentation of their graduating peers’ work. \n\nJune 28 – July 30\nVALERIE HALLIER – UNatural PRocesses- GROUP SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nThe group show questions what we call “nature” and “natural”. In many other civilizations\, the word nature doesn’t exist to differentiate the non-human from the human. Through the work of 8 international artists\, the show revisits our contemporary relationship with the non-human through each artist’s unique way of working with their material be it raw\, weaved\, painted\, recycled\, coded or virtual. \n\nAugust 2 – August 27\nTHE WHITNEY – GROUP SHOW (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis recurring annual group show presents the Whitney museum’s staff selection of artworks. \n\nAugust 30 – September 24\nKEN WADE – 58 YEAR OF ART MAKING (Westbeth)\n\nThis retrospective presents 58 years of art making spanning 3 favored traditional mediums; drawing\, painting and sculpture. \n\nOctober 4 – October 29\nJAMES GORTNER – DADS – GROUP SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nThis is a show about “Dads” who make art\, working across all mediums from painting and sculpture to performance and\nvideo. This show has included Dads of all kinds to umbrella the term as those who can identify with their own idea of what a dad can be. Though all the Dads in this show have been profoundly affected by their experience as Dad\, their work may not directly show it. \n\nNovember 11 – December 16\nWESTBETH WINTER SHOW GROUP SHOW 2023 Westbeth)\n\nThis annual group show celebrates all Westbeth’s visual artists\, presenting in one show 70 to 80 different practices through one artwork. \nNote: Calendar dates generally indicate when an exhibitor takes over the Gallery\, and includes installation\, run of the show\, and de-installation.
