HONEY Exhibition opening is Thursday, March 15th from 6:oo-9:oo p.m. at the Greenville Museum of Art

Exhibition

HONEY is a dynamic, juried exhibition embodying and celebrating the role of the honeybee. In light of the international Colony Collapse Disorder crisis and global concerns over war, economic collapse and a worldwide food shortage, the fate of the honeybee mirrors the fate of humanity.  Philosopher Rudolf Steiner noted the bees as an indicator species in developing his ideas on biodynamic farming and caring for the earth. This call for entries seeks artwork related to these issues and honoring the majestic apis mellifera.

Artists whose work has been juried into the exhibition are: Heather Beck, Barbara Blaisdell, Aleta Braun, Ben Bridgers, Katy Cassell, Megan Clark, Kelly Jean Conroy, Laurie Corral, Desiree DeMars, Gina Dill, Christine Dougherty, Mary Early, Bob Ebendorf, Kristen Egan, Jane Wells Harrison, Sarah K. Hooper, Melissa Hronkin, June Jasen, Rachel Kauff, Joyce Watkins King, Timothy Lazure, Jenny Lynn McNutt, Jeff Millikan, Greg Patch, Betsy Peters, Christine Reising, Suzanne Sawyer, Pat Spainhour, Elizabeth Staiger, Melvin S. Stanforth, Rebecca Stirner, Isaac Talley, Lauren Thiele, and Robin Wise.

The exhibition dates are March 10 – April 8, 2012.
Exhibition opening is Thursday, March 15th from 6:00-9:oo p.m. at the Greenville Museum of Art

Carrack Modern Art exhibit space in Durham, NC

http://durhamsculpture.org/carrack/

The Carrack Modern Art is an art exhibit space located at 111 west Parrish Street in the heart of Downtown Durham (click here for a map). The space operates solely off donations and is a free, zero-commission exhibit space for artists to take over and have solo shows, or group shows if that is their choice.  The trade off is that the shows must be short, typically two weeks, and artists need to organize their own reception, parties etc… read more below!

MAPS (to Nevada?) Opening Reception **Friday, September 2** 6:00-9:00pm

http://wabisabiwarehouse.blogspot.com/

Wabi Sabi Warehouse

presents

a Multiplexitude of Work from Various Artists

namely...

MAPS (to Nevada?)

Opening Reception

**Friday, September 2** 

6:00-9:00pm

This exhibit features a collection of work from both local and alien artists who have interpreted the notion of Mapmaking in their own way. This call for work was inspired by the Art and Thought of Robert Delford Brown ("Bob"), founder of The First National Church of the Exquisite Panic, Inc. Bob said, "Many religions teach how to get to Nirvana. They all give very complicated directions. The First National Church of the Exquisite Panic, Inc tells you how to get to Nevada. It sounds close and it's simple. You take a bus!"

Bob was a good friend of Wabi Sabi and a former resident of Wilmington before making his ephemeral departure in March, 2009 to the Nevada in the Exquisite dimension. Over the years, Bob made lots of Maps to Nevada and encouraged his followers to make whatever they wanted, too.

One piece of special note included in in this exhibit is a collaborative work by the children of SOLA, created under the direction of Isabel Heblich. During his stay in Wilmington, Bob visited SOLA and let the kids paint his car. (I suspect he also taught them one of the commandments of his Church, namely, Don't Eat Cars.) After his Final Departure, Isabel visited these same kids and they created their own aptly titled "Map to Nevada" in memoriam of Bob, his life, and his Generous art. We approach this exhibit with the same feeling.

Fritzi Huber will be on-hand at the Opening Reception assisting willing participants in navigating their internal landscapes. Just choose an organ to be ballpoint tattooed on your body. Directions to said location, whether by arrow or word, will accompany the image. Gina Gambony will use her Exquisite mystic powers to identify items inside your body you never knew about that can also be included in your body map tattoo.

We expect 20+ works of art from the following list of inspired folk, give or take a few, although as Bob would say, "Who? Knows!" The works are being collected directly prior to the Opening Reception and a final list of participants will be updated right here.

some finishing touches added/subtracted, am looking at hanging methods for display at Porters Neck Yoga & Spa 2 weeks prior to the Solstice art ceremony/performance 6/21. This art piece will undergo a transformation within a Fire Ceremony/Celebration. Look for announcements from PNY&S and other participants; yoga, art, music, etc. ...and more to follow as with all transformation.

Wilmington, NC Cameron Art Museum puts it on State of the Art/Art of the State

Went to check out the flow of artists lining up to enter their one piece into this unique event around 1:30 PM. Arrived back around 5 to a jammed parking lot and slipped into a spot off the grounds and conveniently close.
I'd applied online and was directed to the "sign in room" to get my entry number. #202 gave me a sense of being well grounded here!. Staff were at the beginning calls, "11 - 20", "21 - 30", etc. A well organized excitement filled the Cameron spaces. I ran into several local artists, a friend from FB, and met several new folk from different areas of NC. By 6:30 "201 - 210"!
Initially I was warmly and enthusiastically greeted by Susan Davidson, Senior Curator, Collections & Exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in NYC. Then a very attentive and personably interested interview about my work, WebhGround 3, by Timothy Anglin Burgard: The Ednah Root Curator of American Art and the Curator-in-Charge of the American Art Department for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco lasted for a couple minutes. Did I talk quickly Timothy?! The staff at the Cameron receiving the work were most careful in listening to and handling my installation requisites.
When I left a little after 7PM they had reached #33o something.
The opening is tonite. The works will remain at the Cameron thru Oct 31.
enThanks to everyone involved!

State of the Art/Art of the State

May 8 – October 30, 2011

Organized by the Cameron Art Museum, this exhibition focuses on contemporary art by artists currently living in, or native to, the state of North Carolina. Artists are invited to bring a single work of art to be installed in the museum, delivering the work within a 24-hour period (between 5:00 pm Friday, May 6 and 5:00 pm Saturday, May 7, 2011). During this timeframe, one of three internationally renowned curators will be present to greet each artist, shake his/her hand - and direct the exhibition installation. All three curators will attend the exhibition opening on Saturday May 7, 2011 from 6:00-9:00 pm.

The design of this project provides any participating artist equal opportunity to meet a significant curator working in the field of contemporary art today and have their work seen by all three visiting curators. The curators for this event are Susan Davidson, Senior Curator, Collections & Exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and Nicholas Cullinan, Curator at the Tate Modern, London.

This event pays homage to the open, creative curatorial spirit of the late art world maverick, Walter Hopps (1932-2005). In 1978, responding to a comment from his junior colleague, Deborah Velders (Jensen) about the problems artists face gaining access to notable curators, Walter Hopps conceived an entirely open, unmediated event to remedy the situation. His program invited any artist to bring a single work of art, to meet Hopps, and see installation of work. This event called “36 Hours” occurred in a gritty, street-level alternative space called MOTA (Museum of Temporary Art), located in downtown Washington, D.C. There was no jurying, no selection (or rejection), and no entry fee. The only restrictions were size (work needed to fit through the door), weight (regarding transporting/placing and support capacity), and the delivery time frame (36 hours). This unprecedented opportunity for artists was covered by the Washington Post, and attracted over 400 works of art, all by artists living and working in the Washington, D.C. area.

Celebrated curators for State of the art/Art of the State event are:

Susan Davidson, Senior Curator, Collections & Exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, New York;


Nicholas Cullinan, Curator at the Tate Modern, London, England;


Apsara Di Quinzio: Assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; 


Timothy Anglin Burgard: The Ednah Root Curator of American Art and the Curator-in-Charge of the American Art Department for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

Call for Entries at Cameron Museum for NC Artists

http://www.cameronartmuseum.com/state

Based on the MOTA (Museum of Temporary Art) held in Wasington DC in 1978 put together by Walter Hobbs and Deborah Velders. The Cameron Museum in Wilmington, NC will host a similar format where artists may bring original work during a 24 hr period to meet with curators Susan Davidson of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC and Nicholas Cullinan from the Tate Museum in London. The idea is to give artists an open meeting with curators from major art museums. All work submitted within size and suitability for hanging art work restrictions will be accepted and shown at the Cameron from May 7 throughout the summer and picked up Oct 30 and Oct 31, 2011. Space for showing work is limited and entry into the show is based on a first come first serve basis. Check the above Cameron url for details and submission form.
My biggest question is will camping on the lawn be permitted for the really able and eager?! I submitted my entry form and am waiting to hear reply from the Cameron on this email I sent to them.

Showing at Chapel Hill Public Arts Office in 2012

Have never scheduled a show more than a year in advance. There's a certain sense of relief in knowing some of my art commitment for the next year. Is there a corresponding energy to this and having just signed a one year lease on my new abode/studio space?!

The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education

http://www.schuylkillcenter.org
About

Since its incorporation in July 1965, The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education (originally named Schuylkill Valley Nature Center) has been a regional and national leader in urban environmental education. As a not-for-profit institution, the Center began operation as one of the first environmental education facility located within the limits of a major metropolitan area in the country.
The organization's grounds, located on agricultural land that was farmed until the mid-1960's, has grown from the 11 acres originally gifted by the Center's Founders: Lawrence M. C. Smith, Mrs. Lawrence M. C. Smith, Mrs. Robert R. Meigs, and Henry H. H. Meigs. Under the direction of Richard James, the organization's founding Executive Director; the Center grew to encompass 340 acres of land - the largest privately-owned open space area within the city limits of Philadelphia - featuring a variety of habitats including woodlands, meadows, five teaching ponds and wetlands. In addition, four miles of hiking trails, public programs for all ages, school programs for K-graduate level students, and teacher workshops attract a multitude of visitors to the Center.
Originally operating out of River House, a historic summer home once a part of the Center's property, the organization now occupies the main Education Building. The entire Education Building houses laboratories, classrooms, an interactive children's exhibit (Discovery Center), a bookstore, an auditorium, staff offices, and the K-8th grade Green Woods Charter School. In addition, the Center's grounds contain a pavilion, environmental art trail, native plant nursery, and various ecological restoration sites. Located on the eastern side of the property is the Center's Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, which treats injured, orphaned, and sick native wildlife and provides wildlife education community programs.
In 2000, the Center adopted its Facilities Master Plan. This document was developed by Andropogon Associates, Ltd. and provides a framework for translating the Center's mission into a coherent physical plan in order to enhance the organization's educational programming.
Today, the Center continues to provide a high level of environmental education to the surrounding communities through its four interrelated departments: Education, Land Restoration, Wildlife Rehabilitation, and Environmental Art.

   Being in process of moving my home and studio I have placed some 300 paintings into a climate controlled storage unit. The above pieces had been at the bottom/back of stacks for years. They were an early series I did back in the late 80's and needed cleaning, repair and some light! My image keeping records of them were still on slides! It was early work I had done using beeswax and natural pigment. The series of seven were a sequential of my crossing the Hudson River in New York State in my canoe from the West bank of the great river near Albany, NY crossing to the East bank into a little cove. Four of the seven were sold to a collector back at that time. Old friends!

   In meeting the time limit to place them in the "Artist Choice Show" a quick repair was necessary. Person(s) interested in purchasing one/two/them can choose to keep them in the frames I made for them originally and I will take them to my framers PattersonBehm in Wilmington, NC and I will cover the costs, or buyer/collector(s) can have them reframed at their own expense.

   I placed glazier points to keep the backing secure while hanging in the gallery, scraped some old paint and wax off the tung oiled White Oak frames, blew the dust away and washed the glass with organic distilled white vinegar to chase away the dark and let the light in, and took them to the gallery. 

   Hope to see you Friday nite!
