PE Pinkman, the chief visual arts curator and executive director of the Watchung Arts Center in New Jersey, notes that two exhibitions — Mona Brody: Portals, Apparitions, and Other Voices and Anne Trauben: Step Up on a Stool to Reach the Sky — emerged from separate discussions with each artist. For over 45 years, the nonprofit Watchung Arts Center has been a prominent stage, showcasing works from regional artists in New Jersey and New York.

When she was eight years old, Isabelle Plat’s mother took her to the museum in Lyons, France, to see a show of works by the School of Paris. The young artist remembers being enchanted by the works of Matisse and Soutine and then and there decided she would be painter. Flash forward a decade and Plat was working toward her baccalaureate at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, which offered a rigorous five-year program of academic training. Plat concentrated on sculpture, following the age-old practice of drawing and modeling from antique casts.

HOT AIR

In the fall of 2019, Meagan Woods, an interdisciplinary artist working in dance, theatre and costume design, attended an arts/science event at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada where she was an MFA student. She was both alarmed and inspired by what she learned about the critical condition of coral reefs around the world caused by climate change. In response, she assembled a team consisting of four colleagues in the MFA Interdisciplinary Arts program and a New-Jersey based visual artist to create what eventually became an innovative, experimental opera/installation called Once She Dries. Besides Woods, the collaborative includes pianist and composer, Casper Leerink; filmmaker, photographer and installation artist, Xinyue Liu; violinist and composer, Kourosh Ghamsari-Esfahani; musician and actress, Amanda Sum; and sculptor and installation artist, Nancy Cohen.

Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program Open Studios in on April 22 & 23rd! To get us ready, we’re introducing you to this year's participating artists.⁠

David Atkin is a painter and art educator. Focusing on portraiture, Atkin’s current work utilizes egg tempera to depict dreamlike moments that convey his subjects’ internal states of mind. Sitting in dialogue with Western painting precedents, Atkin tackles traditional themes and allegories through a contemporary lens. Through his use of line, color, and narrative, Atkins reveals that people are, in all their moments, more than they might seem to be.

says —-“The “L-I-L-T” is insidious because it appears at first like a compliment. It might sound like a “Hold it right there! That’s a work of genius!” but all it communicates is: “I know better than you what’s best for your work.” The commenter sees our work as a rare orchid that we (without the help of their buttinsky advice) might accidentally overwater and kill. Often the person making this comment is well-meaning, but they are doing us a disservice because they aren’t taking the time to really know our goals or what we’re going for in our work. Their tastes may run to loose and quick, but you may prefer detail. Or, they may like bright colors, but we like dark gravitas. They might be a huge fan of minimalism, but we’re maximalists at heart. It’s a risk to allow others’ tastes to influence our work in its embryonic stages and potentially derail our process in the studio.”

Heads up: We are launching HOT AIR—a new section in Art Spiel focusing on art dedicated to our climate change urgency. It will be published once or twice a month and will include related show reviews and interviews with artists from multiple disciplines. This initiative is in collaboration with artist and writer Hovey Brock, who has frequently written articles on climate/art for Art Spiel. Melissa Stern came up with the cheeky title.

Thank you Susan Fishman and Art Spiel!
“Peerna attributes many of the choices she has made about the materials she uses as well as her working methods to her childhood in her native land of ice and greyscale colors along the Baltic Sea. It was there where her body learned to embrace the movements specific to gliding on ice, where she observed the varied lines that skates made on the surface of ice, and where she mastered the use of the limited art materials available in the local Soviet-style school system – especially drawing with pencils on paper.”
📣 Don't miss it! The "un/mute" is still on view at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York until January 7. Co-curated by Daina Mattis + Melinda Wang. Read the new great review in Art Spiel. 🔥

Polish artists participating are: Justyna Banaszczyk, Anna Bera (The Whole Elements) i Justyna Górowska.

"How can artists unmute 🗣 themselves and make work in creative dialogue with each other while they experience forced solitude at faraway places? How can collaborative practices be reinvented in social isolation? And how can virtual and chance encounters between strangers can lead to the making of jointly authored images and objects? 🎨 The un/mute project, initiated by EUNIC New York and Undercurrent, the independent exhibition space in DUMBO, was an attempt to probe these questions by inviting 32 artists to work across borders, languages, and media, while sharing the global experience of the Covid-19 pandemic at distant locations, under varied social circumstances, and in cultural contexts."
📌🌟An excellent Art Spiel review on the ongoing UN/MUTE exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York and gallery Undercurrent, and the story behind this international project.
The un/mute project, initiated by EUNIC New York and Undercurrent, the independent exhibition space in DUMBO, invited 32 artists to work across borders, languages, and media, while sharing the global experience of the Covid-19 pandemic at distant locations, under varied social circumstances, and in cultural contexts. Two Lithuanian artists Gabriele Gervickaite - Gabo and Ieva Mediodia took part in this unique virtual artist residency that finally became an actual exhibition.

“Open-ended, performative and fluid, the un/mute experiment evokes the transatlantic mail art projects of the 1960s and 1970s neo-avant-gardes and reimagines practices of collaboration in the realm of the digital and in defiance of the limitations of the global pandemic. The residencies, the exhibition and the project’s labyrinth-like website defy borders and physical distances as well as institutionally sanctioned forms of artistic labor to present the audience with a document of work and life in-progress.”
Thanks Art Spiel and ÁgnesBerecz!

On view at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York and Undercurrent through January 7, 2022, “un/mute” is the culmination of two online residencies launched in 2020 to provide European and NYC-based artists an opportunity for critical exchange and collaboration during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Co-curated by Daina Mattis and Melinda Wang, “un/mute” is the physical manifestation of online conversations among strangers who became collaborators. What began as abstract and digital are now 14 tactile, concrete artworks presented across two locations. The exhibition features sculptures, installations, films, drawings, photographs, and performances created by artists who confronted the parameters imposed by the lockdowns and found creative solutions that we might all learn from.

“un/mute” is a project by Undercurrent and the following members of EUNIC New York - European Union National Institutes for Culture: Austrian Cultural Forum New York, Czech Center New York, Consulate General of Estonia in New York, Delegation of Flanders in the USA, Goethe-Institut New York, Lietuvos kultūros institutas / Lithuanian Culture Institute, Arts Council Malta in New York, Polish Cultural Institute New York and Romanian Cultural Institute in New York / ICR New York. This project is also supported by EU National Institutes for Culture, the European Union Delegation to the United Nations, Hope Recycling Station Jindrich Chalupecky Society.

Open hours: ACFNY, 10am-6pm daily; free admission

Visual Art teacher Todd Bartel reflects on his work and shares the first time he took on a collage assignment as a freshman at RISD! Read below on Art Spiel!
"The unique design and location of the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery at UD proved a most fitting space for the exuberant content of Sara Cardona and Elisa Lendvay’s exhibit, titled Meridian. Meridian expressed the artists’ shared interests in earth’s natural shapes and cycles, regeneration of discarded or out-of-fashion cultural designs and hardware, and celebration of movement, of dance." - Thomas Motley, MA '73 via Art Spiel in a critique of the latest installation at the Haggerty Gallery

“I experimented with adhering silver or gold leaf to glass and scratching into it with a stylus.”

A huge congratulations to American artist Anne Peabody who has been selected as a recipient of the 2021 Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest Artist in Residence Program (a real achievement as she was selected from 260 applications from 34 countries). This morning started off misty here in Murano and the weather couldn’t help but remind us of the mystical clouded forms of Peabody’s multidisciplinary work which uses an intricate combination of effects to draw surreal images upon mirrored glass.

In a recent interview with Art Spiel she explained how many of her latest works used nature: “I began to use very old leaf in my glass drawings when I realized it would disintegrate as it reacted with the oils on my fingers, and break down further when exposed to air. This technique allows me to incorporate fate into my works: I roll a pair of dice and leave the glass plates exposed to air for the days allocated by the numbers rolled.”

Last year marked the 40th anniversary of the internationally renowned program, established in 1980, which annually awards artists the opportunity to live and create site-specific work inspired by their total immersion experience at the Bernheim Arboretum. Connecting people with nature is the mission that has been at the heart of this organisation throughout its history and we can’t wait to see what Peabody creates in response.
