It's Magic. A Beyond Experience
|
February 17th - March 16th, 2022 This international group exhibition was held in Rome Italy from Feb 17 - Marcy 16, 2022. All works from the show were made available for purchase through the venue's website. Here is a blurb about the event from the creators: "Magic is all that is capable of transforming the aspects and dimensions of the real world in fantastic ways, within a suggestive and ecstatic atmosphere. Art, art’s practice and its product are the first testimony of form and expression of this realization. Since the Paleolithic age, symbols acquire magical and propitiatory purposes, thus establishing a contact with divinities: primitive men entered deep caves, leaving traces of themselves through a creative act, getting lost in another dimension and then returning to the real world. Perhaps a reference to the cycle of life, death, union, rebirth. It is an innate human instinct to re-create and live out fantastic dimensions, where everything is connected with everything and where everything is possible." |

The Sketchbook Project is an ongoing global iniatiative of the Brooklyn Art Library in Brooklyn, NY. To participate, artists and ordinaries are encouraged to order a book, fill it up, and send it back to be a part of the world’s largest collection of artist sketchbooks! Every participant is sent the same 5”x7'' blank custom sketchbook. Each book will be given a unique seven-digit barcode to ensure easy cataloging into Brooklyn Art Library's system. The cost to participate direclty funds this amazing non-profit and helps them with. fulfilling their mission of encouraging creative storytelling within a global community by keeping a physical library space free and open to the public, a digital library accessible worldwide, and making their collection as accessible as possible to people of all ages and skill levels through robust education programming. ***MARCH 2022*** The truck fire transporting the entire library from Brooklyn to Florida caught fire.

This year twenty-four participants created a total edition of twenty-six impressions that again typically display an interesting variety of processes, sensibiliies, and styles. Every participant receives a complete suite of twenty-four unique prints which also includes one from their own contributed edition. A few suites are held in reserve for the Guild's permanent collection or at times for presentation or donation. This exhibition will be held at the Kresge Gallery in the Insalaco Center for Studio Arts at Marywood University. The show runs in September and October 2015. This event is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9am-9pm. |

"The jurying process was not easy; too many wonderful images and very hard to choose. Being quite decisive I know what kinds of images move me, I do still lean in that direction, but I have been moved by some of these entries as some of these artists have shown me that even when I think I know what I like, I find something new." She ultimately selected 141 images from 61 photographers. Karen Marks is the Director at The Howard Greenberg Gallery in NYC. After graduating from School of Visual Arts in the early 1980's, she worked with Swann Galleries auction house in the photography department for many years.

A month later, her first Diana arrived. In November 2008, she built her first matchbox pinhole camera. Since then, she’s come to believe the following to be true: 1. A person cannot own, make or modify too many cameras (Jody currently has 300+); 2. One should never venture out with fewer than three cameras on one's person; and 3. When it comes to cameras, the cheaper and lower-tech they are, the better. When she’s not collecting, making, or modifying cameras, Jody enjoys being an associate professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she teaches courses in technology studies, visual literacy and play theory. Nic Nichols is the founder and editor of FourCornerStore.com and owner and editor of ToyCamera.com, the largest independent Toy Camera portal. He has reviewed virtually every toy camera ever made.

Green Piece:
|
As part of the Green Piece art history elective course at Marywood University, students within the course were placed into groups to conceive of, document, and create an environmental art project to be installed on campus to help raise awareness for environmental issues through art. The Aquasonic Group, comprised of Sue Jenkins, Kathryn Bondi, Tony Pachick, and Kelly Ufkin, created Harmonia, a musical water reclamation sculpture. This environmental art project addresses the ongoing global need for a continued source of clean, potable water. Without it, our very existence is at stake. We all must take action now to help clean the air water we pollute by contributing to the production of clean water. Recycled water can be used for drinking, domestic use, gardening, irrigation and re-charging ground water. View a VIDEO of the SCULPTURE at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHWyDvp4pIwOur sculpture is composed of 144 clear glass tubes of varying heights erected directly into the ground roughly 30 feet long along both sides of the walkway between the Art and Science buildings, demonstrating a bridge between the two disciplines in the creation of environmental art. Within each tube are visible layers of natural filtration materials such as sand and charcoal to facilitate the purification of collected water before returning it to the surrounding soil. The water collected within each tube adds an auditory element to our sculpture, inviting both physical and intellectual interaction from viewers, as the tubes can be strummed with twigs (supplied to passers-by in nearby crates) to create a variation of tone. This, we hope, will aid in attracting attention to our greater cause. About Green Piece: With an eye on the environment, students will study the role of the artist in America--and assume that role--as it has changed from the time of the early explorer naturalists to contemporary earth artists. Co-taught by Professors Linda Partridge and Pamela Parsons, Marywood University's Green Piece course combines art history and studio art methods and is open to interested students of all fields. |

MFA Group Works: Revelations Mahady Gallery Lobby
|
Graduate Seminar students, representing the areas of painting, clay, photography, and sculpture, collaborated to produce the provocative mixed media works comprising Revelations. In class, teams selected prints from Albrecht Durer’s famous woodcut series based on the Revelation of St. John. They then located the corresponding passages from a worn, 1890 leather-bound family bible.Together these pieces operate as a kind of book, bound thematically to the biblical end-of-days prophecy: the individual pieces serve as chapters. This exhibit offers a re-telling. Seven Illuminations: Jen Bulay,
