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.

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.

SUMMARY:First Fridays: Michael Moss with Sorin Lerescu - BOWS/Ensemble for Strings and Piano
DESCRIPTION:MICHAEL MOSS WITH SORIN LERESCU – BOWS/ENSEMBLE FOR STRINGS AND PIANO  \nBows/Ensemble for Strings and Piano: Rosi Hertlein (violin)\, Sunjay Jayaram (violin)\, Melanie Dyer (viola)\, Lenny Mims (cello)\, Ken Filiano (bass)\, Anthony Coleman (piano)\, Michael Moss (clarinet). \nThe First Fridays Concert on May 5 at Westbeth is a collaborative evening featuring Michael Moss’ new group\, Bows/Ensemble for Strings and Piano  performing his piece Abyss and the World Premiere of Far Away by acclaimed Romanian composer Sorin Lerescu\, written especially for Michael Moss and his ensemble for this occasion.  \nAs part of this cross-cultural evening\, Dr. Lerescu will share his unique perspective in a short talk on Romanian contemporary music.  \nMichael Moss composed Abyss in homage to his late father-in-law and his experiences escaping Germany during the Holocaust – it is infused with his spirit. 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

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.

SUMMARY:2023 Westbeth Gallery Calendar
DESCRIPTION:February 1 – February 26\nPAROXYSM Group Show curated by Alison Pirie(outside Westbeth)\n\nParoxysm is a group exhibition featuring 57 artists based in the tri-state area and abroad working across sculpture\, photography\, video\, painting\, and performance. 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. Check the Westbeth Home Page publicity for the date of the opening reception and exact exhibition dates\, whenever they are posted. \nTo inquire about using the gallery for q reading\, performance or other event\, contact westbethgallery@gmail.com.\nFor more info about the Gallery\, click HERE

SUMMARY:Westbeth Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Patricia Dillon photographer\nFue en Buenos Aires cuna del tango fogoso y de la cultura apasionante que lo inventó. Después de crecer en Argentina y pasar un año en Tokio\, Japón a la edad de 21 años\, me di cuenta de mi interés en el campo de la moda.\nVenía a Nueva York para hacer una pasantía en instalaciones relacionadas con la industria de la moda: consultora de estilistas en Saks Fifth Avenue Club\, Time Inc\, Condé Nast Anna Sui\, etc. La estética de la imagen se me apareció como un centro de interés\, lo que me llevó a orientarme hacia la dirección creativa.\nParalelamente\, la envidia por producir mis propias imágenes creció con fuerza. Compré mi primera cámara y comencé a fotografiar cosas a mi alrededor.Aprendo mi oficio\, realmente tienes que entender todos los diferentes aspectos que intervienen en la industria de la fotografía. No se trata solo del proceso técnico y “capturar el momento”\, también debe comprender el lado comercial. He fotografiado profesionalmente durante los últimos 15 años\, mi trabajo refleja una vida vivida en total compromiso con el mundo material y espiritual. \nI was born in Buenos Aires\, home to the fiery tango and the passionate culture that invented it. After growing up in Argentina and spending a year Tokyo\, Japan at the age of 21\, I became conscious of my interest for the fashion field .\nI came to NYC in order to intern in facilities related to the fashion industry: Stylists consultant in Saks Fifth Avenue Club\, Time Inc\, Condé Nast Anna Sui\, and so forth. The aesthetic of the image appeared to me as a center of interest\, which led me to turn towards creative direction.In parallel\, the envy to produce my own images strongly rose. I purchased my first camera and started photographing things around me.I learn my craft\, you really have to understand all of the different aspects that go into a photography industry. It’s not just about the technical process and “capture the moment”\, you have to understand the business side as well.\nI have been photographing professionally for the past 15 years\, my work reflects a life lived in total engagement with both the material and spiritual worlds. \nPedro Giraudo bassist and composer\nEl bajista y compositor ganador del Grammy Latino Pedro Giraudo se encuentra entre los artistas de tango más atractivos de la actualidad. En 2018\, su álbum “Vigor Tanguero” ganó un premio GRAMMY Latino al “Mejor Álbum de Tango”. En 2014\, el CD “Tangos” de Ruben Blades en el cual grabó el bajo ganó dos premios Grammy.\nComo compositor y arreglista\, Giraudo dirige sus propios conjuntos de jazz y tango y ha sido aclamado por la crítica como uno de los líderes de orquesta más creativos y atrevidos del panorama actual.
