BMA Violet Hour: Stephanie Syjuco and Savannah Wood
Wednesday, April 21 • 6-7 p.m.
presented by Baltimore Museum of Art

Free, Virtual Event

Join us for a spirited discussion featuring conceptual artist Stephanie Syjuco and artist and cultural organizer Savannah Wood, inspired by the exhibition Stephanie Syjuco: Vanishing Point (Overlay), currently on view at the BMA. The conversation will be preceded by an exhibition presentation led by BMA Associate Curators of Contemporary Art Jessica Bell Brown and Leila Grothe.

Watch live on Facebook and YouTube.

Stephanie Syjuco works in photography, sculpture, and installation, moving from handmade and craft-inspired mediums to digital editing and archive excavations. Recently, she has focused on how photography and image-based processes are implicated in the construction of racialized, exclusionary narratives of history and citizenship. Born in the Philippines, she is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and has exhibited widely, including at The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. She is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and resides in Oakland, California.

Savannah Wood is an artist and cultural organizer with deep roots in Baltimore and Los Angeles. Through her work with L.A.-based arts organization Clockshop and Theaster Gates Studio in Chicago, Savannah has worked with incredible archives, interpreting their contents for the wider public. She recently relocated to Baltimore to create programming and infrastructure that will increase access to the Afro-American Newspapers’ extensive archives. This work is supported in part by a Robert W. Deutsch Foundation Fellowship.

Savannah is interested in uncovering obscured histories, tapping into ancestral magic, and forever learning more about human nature. She makes photographs, clothing, and plant-based sculpture.

Spring 2021 Exhibitions, Stretched | Virtual Artist Talk
Thursday, April 22 • 6-7:30 p.m. | Ongoing through June 5
presented by Arlington Arts Center

Arlington Arts Center is pleased to announce its spring exhibitions, including the group exhibition Stretched and Ryan McCoy: From an Abyss in the Wyatt Resident Artists Gallery.

The exhibitions will be open to the public during AAC’s regular gallery hours, Wednesday through Saturday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Online programs, including an artist talk with resident artist Ryan McCoy and a series of artist talks with the artists included in Stretched, will take place in conjunction with the exhibitions.

AAC is pleased to reopen its galleries after an extended winter closure. Visitors will be required to wear masks and maintain six feet of distance from others while inside AAC’s building. For more information on public hours and AAC’s plan for a safe reopening, check out our website.

IN THE MAIN GALLERIES

Stretched

March 27 – June 5, 2021

Featured Artists: Amna Asghar, Rushern Baker IV, Erick Antonio Benitez, Mark Joshua Epstein, Saskia Fleishman, Jen Noone, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, Madeline A. Stratton, and Rives Wiley

Stretched presents an expanded perspective on contemporary painting, featuring nine artists whose work is rooted in but transcends the medium. The exhibition includes two-dimensional work by Amna Asghar, Rushern Baker IV, Saskia Fleishman, Jen Noone, and Rives Wiley, shaped and sculptural work by Mark Joshua Epstein and Madeline A. Stratton, and new immersive installations created for the exhibition by Erick Antonio Benitez and Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann.

Ranging from work on canvas to large-scale installation, the exhibition emphasizes the expansive and multi-faceted approach taken by contemporary artists who work with paint as part of their practice. These diverse approaches include incorporating unconventional materials and techniques into their work and expanding beyond the canvas into three-dimensional objects and installations.

These artists look to the central role played by painting throughout art history, including the legacy of modernist abstraction and the tradition of Chinese landscape painting, to name just two influences visible in the exhibition. In addition to these art historical threads, all nine artists incorporate and reflect visual influences from popular culture and digital aesthetics. Although nearly every work in the show is entirely analog in its physical construction, the visual influence of digital devices and online space proliferates throughout the show.

The diversity of techniques, influences, and materials visible in Stretched reflects a long tradition of artists who approach painting as a starting point for broad experimentation, while demonstrating the ways contemporary artists have continued to expand painting within and beyond the canvas.

 

 

LIVE Artist Talk: Decolonizing the Constellations
Thursday, April 22 • 5:30-6 p.m.
presented by The Walters

People in cultures throughout history have gazed up at the night sky and seen their own imagined, culturally specific images in the glowing points of stars. Baltimore artist René Treviño explores how many features of our culture, even supposed natural phenomena, are framed in terms of European ideas and concepts. In a recent series of paintings, one of which is included in the Walters exhibition Translations and Transitions / Traducciones y Transiciones, Treviño challenges this Eurocentric view with a creative reimagining of the constellations, pointing out how the web of stars can be configured and reconfigured—as can our cultural canon. Treviño talks with Ellen Hoobler, William B. Ziff, Jr. Associate Curator of the Art of the Americas, about his work and recovering Indigenous traditions.
About the Artist: René Treviño was born in Kingsville, TX. He received his BFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in 2003 and his MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2005. His work has been exhibited at the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, CT; Baltimore Museum of Art, MD; Goliath Visual Space, Brooklyn, NY; White Box, New York; Delaware Center for Contemporary Art; Arlington Arts Center, Arlington, VA; Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture, Baltimore, MD; and Pentimenti Gallery, Philadelphia, PA. His work was also included in the 2007 WPA/Corcoran OPTIONS Biennial in Washington, DC, and was awarded a 2009 Baltimore Creative Fund Individual Artist Grant and won the 2009 Trawick Prize. His work has been featured in Art Papers, New American Painters, Baltimore Sun, Baltimore City Paper, Philadelphia Enquirer, Washington Blade, Washington Post, as well as several online publications. Treviño currently lives and works in Baltimore, MD and teaches at MICA and Towson University.

 

 

Amidst | Virtual Artist Talk
Thursday, April 22 • 6 p.m.
presented by STAMP Gallery

This spring the Stamp Gallery at the University of Maryland, College Park, presents Amidst, featuring three artists in the second year of MFA candidacy in the Department of Art at the University of Maryland, College Park: Martin Gonzalez, Elizabeth Katt, and Alyssa Imes.

In the artists’ own words: “Our show came from a discussion of where and when we currently are.  We are in the middle of our graduate school experience. We are in the middle of a global pandemic which has changed everything in the past year. So, we decided on the word, Amidst.  We are Amidst all the peaks and valleys that come with pushing ourselves in creative directions. We are Amidst the pandemic with all of its uncertainty, challenges, and changes.  We are Amidst our angst.  We are Amidst our perseverance. We are Amidst and that can be an uncomfortable place to be.”

This exhibition will include an artist talk on April 22, 2021. There will also be an in-gallery art-based activity series for visitors to further explore topics around the “new normal.” Visit the Stamp Gallery’s website and social media for an up-to-date schedule of events at thestamp.umd.edu/gallery

 

 

An Artist Conversation with Mahsa R. Fard 
Thursday, April 22 • 6:30 p.m.
sponsored by Julio Fine Arts

The Julio Fine Arts Gallery presents An Artist Conversation with Mahsa R. Fard, in connection with this year’s common text, Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen. Iranian artist and recent graduate of the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Mahsa R. Fard often finds herself painting manmade, large-scale structures such as cities, stadiums, and apparatuses. Ever conscious of the dominance of a rigid patriarchal gaze both in the public and private sphere, her paintings address many parallel themes to those raised in Jose Antonio Vargas’s book, such as fundamental questions of access—to public and private space, to opportunity, to place and homeland. Mahsa R. Fard currently lives and works in Baltimore, MD.

This event is Co-Sponsored by Messina and the Julio Fine Arts Gallery. The Gallery is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council, msac.org

BIARTISAN EFFORT – A Collaborative Exhibition | Virtual Artist Talk

Fruiting Bodies
Saturday, April 24 • 6-9 p.m.
@ Current Space

Current Space is proud to present Fruiting Bodies, a solo exhibition by Amy Reid. Join us Saturday, April 24 from 6-9 p.m. for the opening reception!

Fruiting Bodies is part of series of an ongoing investigation titled Unearthing Queer Ecologies. The title references the term Queer Ecology which scholar Catriona Sandilands describes as “recognizing that people often regard nature in terms of dualistic notions like “natural and unnatural,” “alive or not alive” or “human or not human,” when in reality, nature exists in a continuous state.” This project pays homage to this idea by sonically and visually revealing the growth and life of plants that have been deemed “queer” by culture and organisms that are “queer” in the very nature of their DNA such as; lavender, pansies and various mushroom species.

Technology is often perceived as creating a disconnect with nature as well as disengaging society from the present moment. This project uses bio-sonification, an innovative process in generating sound, as a way of using technology to physically and creatively connect with “non-human” organisms. This process can be achieved through the use of electrodes and the hardware, Plantwave, which picks up subtle fluctuations on the surface of these organisms as they grow. Through the use of an interface or DAW, these fluctuations are then translated into MIDI which provides information that can be sent into analogue and digital synthesizers thus producing sounds.

The sounds and audio-responsive visuals celebrate the histories that lie beneath a culture with a rich history that has often been overlooked and regarded as unnatural. Fruiting Bodies challenges this notion and blurs the lines between natural and synthetic realms by interpreting information through video projection, sound, growing organisms, and sculpture.

This project is supported by a Rubys Grant from the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation.

Mr. Trash Wheel’s Recycle Mosaic | Call for Participants
deadline April 29
sponsored by Waterfront Partnership’s Healthy Harbor Team

Mr. Trash Wheel has spent another year gobbling up trash in the Inner Harbor, let’s show him some love! All you need is some trash and a can-do attitude! Help us create an original work of art on the Inner Harbor promenade wishing Mr. Trash Wheel a Happy Birthday.

When you register below, you will be assigned a square and tasked with piecing together a collage using recycled materials found around your home. After creating your square, drop it off with the Mr. Trash Wheel team in Baltimore’s Harbor East neighborhood. When all the squares are collected they will be put together on display in front of Mr. Trash Wheel and shared on social media.

STEP 1 SIGN UP
To participate in Mr. Trash Wheel’s Recycle Mosaic please register HERE. You will receive an email with your assigned mosaic square after registration.

STEP 2 COLLECT TRASH
Anything you would throw out you can use!
Examples on what to use: plastic bags, straws, newspaper, chip bags, water bottles, etc.
Examples on what not to use: Apple stem, banana peel, anything left over from food.

STEP 3 CREATE YOUR MOSAIC SQUARE
Now it’s time to construct your square. Use your assigned image as a guideline when placing the shapes and colors on your square. The idea is to replicate the image, so the challenge is to use recycled materials closely resembling the colors and patterns. Artistic liberties can be made! Feel free to add a little paint or marker here and there.

For your base, create an 12″ x 12″ square using cardboard or other strong material (maybe you have some Amazon boxes lying around?). Then, use tape, glue, staples, zip ties, or other means to attach trash to your base. Be as detailed and intricate as you like.

IMPORTANT! Write your square’s assigned number on the back of your square. This will help us when putting the mosaic together.

deadline May 15
sponsored by Virginia Center for the Creative Arts

The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA) provides time and space for national and international writers, visual artists, and composers of talent and promise to bring forth their finest works, because the arts are vital, diversity is a strength, and creativity is essential.

Selected artists come to VCCA’s Mt. San Angelo in Amherst, Virginia or the Moulin à Nef in Auvillar, France for intense periods of creative work, free from the distractions of day-to-day life. During residencies lasting anywhere from two weeks to two months, VCCA Fellows enjoy private studios, private bedrooms, and meals. Whether sequestered in the rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains or on the banks of the Garonne River in Southwest France, VCCA Fellows can work in concentrated solitude, then re-energize in the company of other artists.

VCCA Fellows are selected by peer review on the basis of professional achievement or promise of achievement in their respective fields. Panelists for each discipline and genre undergo periodic review and rotate regularly to ensure that selection to VCCA is being made by high caliber artists who represent a diversity of styles and tastes.
