Editorial by Tom Starland, Editor and PublisherCOMMENTARYThe Theme is 100Last month our downloads returned tothe over 100,000 mark coming in at 120,986by the time of this writing. And in this issuewe are offering over 100 articles aboutexhibits and other related visual art eventstaking place in the Carolinas this month. Andfrankly, I’m glad we didn’t reach the 100page mark as that is a lot of pages to layoutin just a week.Don’t Empty the Trash!Dealing with the size of this issue was badenough, but I didn’t do myself any favors theday I took the trash out. I’m not talking aboutnormal house trash or yard trash - I’m talkingabout the little trash can near the bottom ofmy computer screen.On the first day of working on the layoutI had finished 20 pages and needed to makea run into town. I figured it might be a safebet to copy the work I had done to a flashdrive. Backing up your work is a good habitto have in deasktop publishing - or doinganything. I went to copy my file onto thedrive, but a message came up that it wasfull . I started dumping some old files fromprevious month’s backups into the trash canand for some reason hit the key to empty thattrash. From the instant I did it - I knew somethinghad gown wrong - very wrong.The flash through my mind recorded thefact that I had just dumped my “Master” filesof the NC and SC Gallery listings. I spend agood part of my time every month workingon updating those gallery listings and in asecond, I had thrown them away.Oh the humanity! When will they comeup with an idiot proof computer?Now we have a backup system workingon my computer that automatically backs upfiles, but - there’s always a but - a few weeksPage 4 - Carolina Arts, October 2012ago it started giving me a message afterevery attempt to do a backup - that it wasnot able to complete the task and after 30-40times of seeing that message - I turned offthe process.After they had found me passed out at mycomputer and a full bag of Peanut M&M’swere administered - I came around to thereality that I had backups.The backup syatem had files from Sept. 9and we had all the e-mails that people sent uswith the info I needed - all I had to do was dothree weeks of work in a few days.Don’t empty the trash!So what did I learn from this experience?First off, I blame all my old high schoolbuddies for all the drinking I did - just outof peer pressure - back in the day. I can’tremember when those days were - becauseof all the brain cells I killed. But, I know thathas something to do with this event. Second,I blame Steve Jobs for never coming up withthe Idiot Proof computer. Why is there no“Undo” on the Trash Can? And, third, asmuch as I like Peanut M&M’s - there is notenough of them to get so jacked up that youcan do three weeks worth of work in just afew days.If for some reason I missed the gallerylisting you sent us this month - I’m sorry - Idid all I could in the timeframe I had to makesure no one was left out. Believe me - I havelearned a hard lesson. Don’t empty the trash!If you’re a follower of my blog, CarolinaArts Unleashed or our Facebook page, youknow I’ve had my problems this month.Looking for the Silver LiningWell, considering all that. This is out largestissue to date - 87 pages.

To make it a bit more interesting,we decided to gear it toward the seasonsinstead of just landscapes. This exhibit willprobably include more two-dimensionalworks, but our 3-D artists might come upwith some way to depict the theme. It’s aperfect theme for our watercolorists andphotographers.

They are anhonest amalgam of simple images and theemotions they elicit...whether primal orintuitively.

Sculptureplasters are fragile and are rarely seen inexhibitions. Giacometti: Memory and Presencepresents plasters side-by-side withthe resulting sculptures. The plasters giveviewers a sense of the intended qualitiesof the work, often fashioned by the artist’sown hand, and how those characteristics arerevealed in a bronze.After exploring many of the most importantart movements and approaches, such asCubism and Surrealism, Giacometti developedhis own profoundly influential stylethat was insightful, philosophical, mysticaland charged by an unending inquiry intothe fundamental nature of our existence.He had a compulsive approach to drawingand considered it to be at the heart of all hisactivities. He drew people and images againand again, capturing a special animatingquality. Throughout the latter half of his career,efforts to commit his vision to canvasand sculpture consumed him.Audiences will experience the sense ofintimacy Giacometti conveyed in much ofhis work. On view are images that representhis close bond with his two brothers, Diegoand Bruno, and his parents, Giovanni andAnnetta, as well as his wife and frequentmodel, Annette. To examine those keyrelationships further, the exhibition includespieces created by Giacometti’s father andbrothers, significant artists in their ownright.Finally, the exhibition illustrates AlbertoGiacometti’s relationships with some ofthe most important cultural and intellectualleaders in Europe before and after WorldWar II, philosophers, publishers, poets andartists – as well as collectors and patrons.One of his significant friendships was withthe Bechtler family.Hans Bechtler (father of BechtlerMuseum of Modern Art patron AndreasBechtler) met Alberto Giacometti in 1957while purchasing a sculpture by the artist ata Paris gallery.

Waterworks Visual Arts Centercontinued from Page 16The theme of his work, Early Informantsfrom a Childhood Landscape, reflects hisearly upbringing on the mid-western openranges where plowed fields and barns createdthe icons and vistas for his life.In 1978, Faber was the first North Americanartist to be invited to work at YmagosAtelier de Gravuras de Arte, a lithographystudio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. While there, hemade lithographs alongside of the famedlandscape architect Roberto Burle Marx andpainters and printmakers Eduardo Iglesias,Guilherme de Faria, Renina Katz, and JoaoRossi. His prints have been included ininvitational and competitive exhibitionsnationally and internationally.Faber’s work is held in many prominentpermanent collections including TheNational Gallery of Art, The MetropolitanMuseum of Art, US State Department, TheNational Art Museum of the Ukraine, andthe Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.He is one of the only artists working in theplaster-cast intaglio medium. In 2000, Faberwas selected to be the lead author of theclassic drawing textbook, A Guide to Drawing,which is widely used by professionalsand art students.John D. Gall works from his studioin Jamestown, NC. His current body ofwork is titled, Truth and Fantasy. He tellsstories with his art and his subjects may bedreamed, imagined, or experienced.As an artist, Gall’s favorite medium isprintmaking. A majority of his prints areintaglio etchings emphasizing line and technique.His mentors are Rembrandt, Goya,Whistler, and Picasso, all of whom excelledas draftsmen and etchers.Gall states, “The realm of imaginationhas brought me to my most current bodyof work. Coming from a math and sciencebackground, I am fascinated by the aestheticbeauty of mathematical equations, graphs,and symbols. This has led me to the mostcomplex equation of all: The Human Equation.”Gall incorporates human figures withsymbols in surreal ways. These works areusually in an unexplained space wheredifferent scales and perspectives exist. Thesymbols he uses represent metaphors forvarious conditions of knowledge and depictways these knowledge seekers “use” theirknowledge. He also incorporates botanicaland biological subjects and almost alwaysincludes symbols and scientific data in hisartwork.Julie Niskanen lives in Raleigh, NC,where she works as a professional artist andteaches printmaking workshops. She alsoteaches art courses at Wake Technical CommunityCollege.Born in Greenville, SC, Niskanenreceived her BFA from Iowa State Universityand her MFA in Printmaking fromthe University of South Dakota where shealso managed the fine art gallery and taughtdrawing classes.Living in so many places and havingexperienced many different environmentshave had a significant influence on Niskanen’screative work. She is amazed byall the effects and unique results attainablethrough printmaking. She uses images fromnature to represent changes in both nature aswell as her own life.Niskanen’s new work is titled Still Moments.She states, “The natural forms thatpermeate our world too often become backgroundpatterns in our hectic lives. For themost part, people no longer feel the wonderof the complexities and intricacies seenin forms such as a single seedpod. All toooften one walks by a scene or object withoutnoticing it. What happens when we slowdown to truly notice and examine what isaround us? Examining these organic formsKalā - A Contemporary Craft Gallery inMorganton, NC, is presenting the exhibit,Fire - Metal - Vision: The Metal Artistry byAndrew Chap man, on view through Oct.12, 2012.Work by John D. Gallallows me to reflect on the human disregardfor so many things, while also reflecting onand bringing forth these rhythms of naturethat are often unnoticed in our lives. I focuson the beauty I find within these naturalforms. I work to bring attention and givepower to the subtle changes and cyclesin nature, as meaning can be found in thesmallest things.”“The printmaking processes I use givesme an invaluable vocabulary of marksthat feeds my thoughts and work,” addsNiskanen. “Through using mezzotint andvarious etching techniques, I am able toachieve a wide range of tones and texturesto complement the images and ideas.”Niskanen’s award-winning work hasbeen exhibited extensively in national andinternational exhibitions and is found inboth public and private collections.Matthew Thomason’s work exploresthe experiences and perceptions of thespace that surrounds us. A lifelong residentof North Carolina, he received his BA inDesign (painting) from North Carolina StateUniversity. He attended the Core Fellowshipprogram at Penland School of Craftswhere he studied printmaking, ceramics,and blacksmithing. Thomason earned hisMFA in Studio Arts from the University ofNorth Carolina at Greensboro.Thomason now lives in Phoenix, AZ.Spare Parts for Anxious Machinery is theworking title for his current body of work.He enjoys building objects and furnitureand collects various building materials. Inthe practice of printmaking, he often doesa lot of testing and ends up with his ownremnants of work. Over the years, Thomasonhas shifted his printmaking practiceso that the proofs and the tests are used asparts in collages. The finished products arenot hand-printed editions of his images, butconstructions of the pieces made during theprocess of making prints. He prints images,cuts them out, and pieces them together likebuilding blocks of machinery.Thomason’s intent for his new bodyof work is to create and provide spacesthrough which the viewer can wanderthrough their own thoughts and memories.“I construct lyrical, abstract installationswith fabric, lath, and thread that invoke anitinerant sensibility. I consider myself on ajourney with a suitcase containing necessitiesfrom home and collected materials thatarticulate my experiences. Like a backpackerwho makes camp in the evening andbreaks camp in the morning, I set up installationsthat contain familiar elements butnecessarily respond to the surroundings.”For further information check our NCInstitutional Gallery listings, call the Centerat 704/636-1882 or visit (www.waterworks.org).Kalā Gallery in Morganton, NC,Offers Works by Andrew Chap manTra di tional black smithing tech niques,using ham mer and anvil, and artis tic visiondeeply rooted in mod ern sculp ture worktogether in each of Chapman’s hand madecontinued above on next column to the rightTable of Contentsworks.

From there shewent on to Duke University to pursue agraduate degree in Laboratory Technology.At Duke, Agnes met and fell in love with ayoung medical student by the name of IkeBrownell. She told us that she married a foreignerfor us to have as a father; all the wayfrom Washington State. He was the love ofher life and they married in March of 1942.After Duke, Agnes and Ike moved toAtlanta where Ike would practice hisresidency at Grady Hospital. Agnes did herpart for the war by working for the Centersfor Disease Control at Fort McPherson.Dad used to tell me that Mom was the firstwoman toxicologist in the country.The Army sent them to South Dakotawhere Dad trained as a flight surgeon. Momsaid her main job was as a beater for pheasanthunts on Dad’s days off.In late 1945, just a few days after her30th birthday with a husband leaving forFrance, Agnes began her life as a mother.A year later, a son followed the birth of thedaughter and after several moves the familysettled in Greenville, South Carolina, whereIke established the first psychiatric practicein the upstate.Dad was dedicated to his practice, leavingMom with the child-rearing duties of thefamily. At the age of 42, with two teenagersunder her roof, the news came that anotherbaby was on the way. Mom would tell methat she looked the doctor square in the eyeand told him, “I will have one more baby forcompany.” My older siblings, who sometimesrefer to themselves as “the originalfamily,” told me how shocked they werewith the news of their aging Mother havingchild number three. But the announcementof baby number four within the next yearwas an embarrassment beyond words.At the age of 51, the age I am now, mymother found herself planning a weddingfor her oldest daughter, with a son in college,while raising two six and seven yearoldlittle girls.I cannot imagine.Agnes managed the house, the home, thechildren and the drama that goes along withall these jobs. She had a full life outside thehouse, volunteering for the museum andScout troops, serving on boards, attendingchurch circles and bridge clubs – and shehad her art. Painting had been a part of herlife beginning in Mrs. Tuggle’s class at theage of 12. Agnes pursued her art throughcollege and the rest of her life, well into hermid-90s.I spent most of my youth flying belowthe radar and staying out of the way of mybarely older sister.

This is the first exhibition innearly 30 years to bring together a collectionof this African-American pottery.Objects in the show come from private andpublic collections, including the McKissickMuseum of the University of SouthCarolina, the New-York Historical Society,the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and theNational Museum of American History,Smithsonian Institution, among others.“Our sincere appreciation goes to theMcKissick Museum for its support andcollaboration, which has enabled us tobring this exhibition to Columbia for theenjoyment of our community and visitorsand partner to reach a broader audiencestatewide,” CMA Executive Director, KarenBrosius, said.The CMA is the only venue in SouthCarolina on the national tour for the exhibition,which has been jointly organized bythe Milwaukee Art Museum and the ChipstoneFoundation, a nonprofit organizationdedicated to promoting American decorativearts scholarship.“We are grateful to be partnering withthe Columbia Museum of Art this fall tobring to South Carolina an exhibit focusedon 19th-century face jugs from the EdgefieldDistrict that surely will spark livelyconversations about what recent researchreveals about these visually compellingobjects,” McKissick Executive Director,Jane Przybysz, said.This exhibition is a masterworks showcelebrating the aesthetic power of theseobjects and suggesting new consideration oftheir uses and cultural meanings. African-American potters produced the ceramic facejugs in the Edgefield District (present-dayAiken County) in the mid-19th century.These expressive faces featuring bulgingeyes and bared teeth seem mysterious tomodern-day viewers. Although anthropomorphicceramic vessels have been madefor centuries in almost every part of theworld, those made in Edgefield are unique.Why do they look the way they do? Whatdid they mean in their own time? How werethey used? These questions and more areexplored in the exhibition.That these face vessels were made at allis intriguing. Slaves had no legal or civilrights, nor were they typically permitted toexpress themselves freely. But 19th-centuryAfrican Americans found creative ways tosustain their customs and beliefs throughhidden meanings in their objects, songsand stories. According to former slave andabolitionist Frederick Douglass, concealedmessages about empowerment, secret meetingsand the whereabouts of slave patrollerswere written into the lyrics of spirituals.Likewise, the African-American folk talesfeaturing Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox discreetlyforecast the downfall of white masters inthe guise of innocent stories. Face vesselsalso may have functioned as cleverly codedobjects within the African-American community.An important early reference to face jugscame from a South Carolina pottery owner,Colonel Thomas Davies. His Palmetto FireBrick Works in Bath, SC, in the EdgefieldDistrict was in operation between 1862and 1865, one of many production potteriesthat took advantage of the region’s richclay deposits. At that time, vast quantitiesof alkaline-glazed stoneware used in dailylife, such as storage jars, pitchers, bowls andchurns, were produced at a number of thesepotteries throughout the second half of the19th-century by enslaved Africans-and laterfreedmen. In contrast, face jugs survive inmuch smaller quantities and were not partof the main production.Three decades after the pottery closed,ceramic scholar Edwin Atlee Barber relayedinformation provided by Davies about themanufacture of face vessels at the PalmettoFire Brick Works. The jugs made there weredescribed as “weird-looking water jugs”with “hideous” white eyes and teeth. Basedon the slaves’ known practice of givingobjects dual meanings, however, Daviesand others may not have been aware oftheir true purpose. Most of the Edgefieldface vessels were too small to hold enoughwater to quench the thirst of a field-workerlaboring under the hot sun. Furthermore,Davies’ pottery and the other local kilnsmass produced countless large, inexpensiveutilitarian water jugs that would have morethan adequately served that function.While the legal trans-Atlantic importationof slaves tapered off after the abolitionof the slave trade in 1808, the institutionof slavery continued unabated in the Southuntil the Civil War. In 1858, the Wanderer,a New York luxury yacht secretly retrofittedas a slave ship, anchored at Jekyll Island, offthe Georgia coast. The ship held 407 slaves,many of whom were from various Kongosocieties. Over 100 of these slaves were sentto the Edgefield region, where some wereput to work at the potteries. A growing bodyof evidence now suggests their arrival alsoserved as a key catalyst in the rise of theface jug tradition in South Carolina.Several characteristics found on Edgefieldface vessels strongly suggest a linkto the art of conjuring. The white eyes andteeth were made from fine kaolin clay, amaterial long considered to possess magicalpowers in West Africa. Kaolin was placedinside of and rubbed onto nkisi containersto activate them. Diviners also rubbed whiteclay around their eyes and mouths. Thekaolin eyes and teeth may have functionedin a similar way on the vessels. Likewise,the sharpened teeth found on some of thecontinued above on next column to the rightTable of ContentsMOUSE HOUSE, Inc.2123 Park StreetColumbia, SC 29201(803) 254-0842mouse_house@prodigy.nethttp://mousehouseinc.blogspot.comSpecializing in antiquarian prints, custom mirrors,and the fiber arts of Susan Lenzwww.susanlenz.comface vessels mirror African sculpture.

Eternity is the wingedhorse infinitely fast, and time is a wornout old jade: the existing individual is thedriver,” he wrote. “To live without passionwas like being a drunken man asleep in acart, letting the horses attached to it takecare of themselves. To truly live, one musttake control of the cart and drive.

Often works are based on theartist’s personal myth experiences and theirconnection to the collective unconscious.His works captured the viewer’s attentionwith movement, color and a complex storythat tantalize far beyond a simple viewingof the work. Painting, he believes, isthe language of the unconscious; the act ofpainting itself is as close as we get to dreamingin the conscious state.Hagerty works in a variety of media,including pen and ink, watercolor and oil.He has been a working artist for thirty fiveyears. This manner of Renaissance man,a highly respected plastic surgeon, formerCharleston City Councilman and environmentaladvocate is widely acclaimed for hisfantastical, surrealistic paintings in whichhe utilizes free association to craft psychologicallypotent dreamscapes.Dr. Hagerty explains, “As an artist, I’mnot so much interested in the interpretationof dreams as I am in taking the visual journeythey open to us.” His work recalls thatof Dali, Bosch, Brueghel, Kandinsky, Miro,Klee and Chagall to name just a few. Thesymbolic art movement preceding WorldWar II and the influence of the iconographicmark making of the Latin American andAsian cultures is evident in his work.The Michael Parks Gallery in Charleston,SC, will present the exhibit, Til the CowsCome Home, featuring works in watercolorand mixed media by M.C.

Recipient of numerous prestigioushonors including an Oil Painters of AmericaEastern Regional Award and several awardscontinued above on next column to the rightTable of Contentsfrom the Richeson 75 Shows, he continuesto be juried into many regional, national,and international exhibitions. Hargreaves isa full-time representational painter, and alsoteaches painting and drawing.Hargreaves states in the Workbenchexhibition catalog, “When I paint, I try toshowcase reality in a beautiful and eloquentway. It’s about paint, color, brushstrokes,economy, harmony, and atmosphere. Forme, it’s a lifelong pursuit.”Each painting in the collection is meaningfulto the artist for different reasons.For example, in Carpenter’s Rule 18 x36 in oil on linen, Hargreaves chooses topaint both his modern electric saw and aprimitive hand saw in juxtaposition of oldand new on either side of an overturnedrectangular wooden box. An old-fashionedfolding wooden ruler takes center stage.Hargreaves inherited this particular rulerfrom his father-in-law, who was a dairyfarmer, and is important because it belongedto him. Yet, this object is also meaningfulto Hargreaves because it reminds him of hisgrandfather’s folding ruler he played withas a child.Hargreaves appreciates the combinationof traditional and modern objects that haveonly belonged to him, and also patrimonialtools that are nostalgic of childhood. Thecollection as a whole is warm and earthtoned,with all objects depicted in a veryskilled realistic manner. Each paintingallows the viewer to discover a quiet beautyin these tools, because of the stories thesepaintings evoke.M Gallery is dedicated to beauty andcompetence in painting and sculpture, andcontinued on Page 32Carolina Arts, October 2012 - Page 31

Redux Contemporary Art Centerin Charleston, SC, Features Worksby Mark Hosford & Janice JakielskiRedux Contemporary Art Center inCharleston, SC, will present the exhibit,Subtle Imperfections, featuring works byMark Hosford and Janice Jakielski, onview from Oct. 12 through Nov. 24, 2012.A reception will be held on Oct. 12, from6:30-8pm. Artist’s lectures will take placebetween 5:30-6:30pm. A screen print demowill be given on Friday, Oct. 5, from 6-8pm.Hosford and Jakielski both investigatepersonal relationships through the use ofplay. Hosford’s vibrant and lucid screenprints are representations of his vulnerabilitiesand human interactions. Jakielski’sintricately hand crafted bonnet like objectsinspired by childhood memories are poeticmetaphors of communication. Hosfordand Jakielski use a decadent palate to easethe complexities of social interactions andallow the viewer to escape into a fantasticalreality. The love of craft and making isevident in both bodies of work. At the openingreception Hosford will have completedRedux’s newest mural!Work by Mark HosfordHosford playfully alludes to the Surrealists’idea that psychological truths can berevealed through drawing. In his Rorschachdrawings, he takes for his starting pointlight gray ink jet blots, which were inventedto help psychologists lead their patientsto reveal repressed meanings through freeassociation. Hosford transforms thesesymmetrical organic forms by inlayingpenciled-in images of his own eccentricdevising; monstrous creatures and hybridbeings reminiscent of the dark animationof the Brothers Quay and Jan Švankmajer.Hosford’s vibrant and meticulous screenprintsfocus on investigations of the humancondition, utilizing a stylistic amalgamationof his childhood affinity for comics, animation,punk, metal, tattoo, horror, sci-fi, streetart, and counter culture.Jakielski makes objects for the bodyin order to transform the world and howwe perceive the world. Through the useof humor, meticulous detail and ambiguousfunction she invites her audience toinvestigate closer, closing the physical gapbetween viewer and object. In this waythe details of the workmanship become awhisper, flirtatiously seductive in its discretion.By disrupting or enhancing the sensesJakielski’s props make possible an exaggeratedself-awareness, a break in the normalcyof daily experience. With the body dressingsshe is creating a liminal space betweenthe imagination and reality. This work is asocial experiment of sorts, a mediated eventto explore communication, comfort andcomplacency through play.Jakielski was born in Maytown, PA,and currently lives and works in Marlborough,MA. She received a Bachelor of FineArts from the New York State College ofCeramic Art and Design at Alfred Universityand a Master of Fine Arts from theEditorial Commentarycontinued from Page 4 / back to Page 4porters of our efforts, but we are hopeful thatwill change one day.

The exhibition,Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey will beon view through Jan. 13, 2013.In 1977, Romare Bearden (1911–1988),one of the most powerful and original artistsof the 20th century, created a cycle ofcollages and watercolors based on Homer’sepic poem, “The Odyssey.” Rich in symbolismand allegorical content, Bearden’s“Odysseus Series” created an artistic bridgebetween classical mythology and AfricanAmerican culture. The works conveyed asense of timelessness and the universalityof the human condition, but their brilliancewas displayed for only two months in NewYork City before being scattered to privatecollections and public art museums.A new exhibition organized by theSmithsonian Institution Traveling ExhibitionServices (SITES) features 55 Beardenworks, including collages from the “OdysseusSeries,” and watercolors and linedrawings relating to his interest in classicalthemes. Romare Bearden: A Black Odysseywill debut at Reynolda House Museum ofAmerican Art before continuing on a sevencitynational tour through 2014.The exhibition is curated by renownedEnglish and Jazz scholar Robert G.O’Meally, the Zora Neale Hurston Professorof English and Comparative Literature andfounder and former director of the Centerfor Jazz Studies at Columbia University.“In creating a black Odyssey series,Bearden not only staked a claim to thetales of ancient Greece as having modernrelevance, he also made the claim of globalcultural collage - that as humans, we are allcollages of our own unique experiences,”said O’Meally. “Indeed, Bearden does notmerely illustrate Homer - he is Homer’s truecollaborator, and he invites us as viewers toinherit Homer’s tale and interpret it as ourown.”Born in Charlotte, NC, Bearden movedwith his family to Harlem as a young child,part of the Great Migration of AfricanAmericans from the inhospitable South togreater opportunity in the North. Throughouthis career, Bearden created images ofthe lives of travelers on their way to andfrom home, a theme no more powerfullyexplored than in his “Odyssey Series.”Bearden had examined classical themesbefore, but the “Odysseus Series” expandedhis exploration of literary narratives and artisticgenres by presenting his own personalreinterpretation of the subject.Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey iscomplemented by a fully illustrated companionbook of the same name (DC MooreGallery, 2008), written by curator O’Meally.The book features full-color images ofBearden’s work and an essay by O’Meallyand will be available for purchase in theReynolda House Museum Store.The exhibition is organized by SITESin cooperation with the Romare BeardenFoundation and Estate and DC Moore Gallery.Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey andits related educational resources are supportedby a grant from the Stavros NiarchosFoundation.Reynolda House is grateful for the supportof Major Sponsor Wake Forest University,Lead Sponsor Kilpatrick Townsend &Stockton LLP, and Contributing SponsorsBelk, Inc., Patty and Malcolm Brown, FlowCompanies, Inc., City of Winston-Salem,and Sissy and Jeff Whittington, and ExhibitionSponsor Debra Conrad, Novant HealthBoard of Trustees.Reynolda House Museum of AmericanArt is one of the nation’s premier Americanart museums, with masterpieces by MaryCassatt, Frederic Church, Jacob Lawrence,Georgia O’Keeffe and Gilbert Stuart amongits collection.

Born in Whiteville, NC,Rooks grew up in Rocky Mount and livedmost of his life in Wilmington, NC. Heworked as a commercial industrial painterthroughout eastern North Carolina. He has asurviving son and daughter and his son hasgraciously loaned the gallery the artworkson display.Rooks’ son recalls his father alwayspainting and carving as long as he can rememberand said his father enjoyed paintingand carving in public. The streets and venuesof Wilmington gave him an immediateaudience. Although completely self-taught,Rooks took prizes for his artworks throughouteastern North Carolina.Rooks began carving and paintingsheetrock in the early 70’s and there arefour excellent examples in this exhibition;his large semicircular Astronauts has strongpopular appeal and is visionary as sciencefiction of the past future. Rooks read alot and loved the beach environs near hisWilmington home, but a fertile imaginationinspired much of what he did.This retrospective exhibition has one ofRook’s earliest paintings with his selfportraitand his very last and unfinishedpainting which shows his impressive skilldevelopment over thirty years. The centerpieceof the exhibition is a large oil titledHome; it is a colorful dreamscape whereRooks astral-travels the beach with his heroVan Gogh.There is a medieval quality in a numberof Rook’s paintings; a 1991 oil on paneltitled End of Time shows a future prophet ofjudgment and reconciliation with decipherablesymbolism when given the time. Anenigmatic One Wheeled Harley is anotherfuturist icon; there’s a credence to Rooksimagery as if such prophets have long beena part of some alternative pantheon. FamilyFuturistic may be fantasy as well, butRook’s skillfully renders it with a disarmingbelievability.Accompanying the exhibit of Rooks’works is a display of hand-carved andpainted decoys by prize winning decoycarver Carleton R. Lewis. Lewis is an Instructorof Justice Studies at North CarolinaWesleyan College; he has his Ph.D. fromNorth Central University, MS East CarolinaUniversity and BA from NC Wesleyan College.He has lead seminars and conferenceshere at Wesleyan for the US Department ofjustice, Secret Service and FBI. Lewis enteredthe academic world upon retirement asa seventeen year senior police officer withthe Rocky Mount Police Department withthe rank of Corporal earning commendationsand awards during his seventeen yearsof service.Work by Carl LewisLewis has been carving for approximately12 years as a hobby. His tools includedraw knife, spoke shave, and variousknives. The wood used is black gum (tupelogum) and juniper (white cedar).

Gleasoncan put their fears to rest. As he explainsit, “the urge to create combines with areverence for musical instruments, and thedesire to preserve whatever life remains inthe parts and pieces of an instrument. As aprofessional musician and a master technicianin the repair of brass and woodwindinstruments, I have spent much of my lifedevoted to extending their lives. Now, whenthe parts and pieces or whole instrumentsare no longer in a state that makes sense torepair them, I find myself giving them newlife in a form that celebrates their previousexistence, saving them from being discardedcompletely.”After living in a half dozen states, attendingschool in twice as many, and being activeduty military in four countries, Gleasonbrings a wide array of life experiences to hisartistic endeavors. After retiring from theWorks by Jim GleasonMarine Corps in 1994, he returned to SouthCarolina which he has called home fornearly half of his life. He makes his living inthe repair of brass and woodwind instrumentsand consulting in this field. A visit tohis work environment is rather interesting.A highly organized workplace with instrumentshe is currently repairing on the righthand side is overlooked by an enormousserpent high on the left that is actually afunctional instrument, though not on the listof any orchestra anywhere.Gleason jokes that this is his “singingserpent.” On this left side, Gleason stagesthe pieces he is preparing for the next competitionor exhibit. What is evident fromthe wide variety of pieces on display as heprepares for the exhibit at the Burr Galleryis the playful sense of humor, the touch ofwhimsy that is part of each of his pieces.There is a touch of magic in what he does.At least one would be inclined to believethat if they could see the pieces of tarnished,oxidized brass with no hint of shineanywhere that he begins with. For it is notthat long before these instrument parts havebeen transformed into a delicate dragonflywith highly polished wings.Perhaps it is this sense of legerdemaincombined with his gentle humor that attractspeople of all ages to his pieces. Fromthe youngest child to the most senior ofcitizens, everyone finds something intriguingand engaging about both the works andthe artist.The Cheraw Arts Commission is supportedby the United Way of ChesterfieldCounty and the SC Arts Commission whichreceives funding from the National Endowmentfor the Arts.For further information check our SCInstitutional Gallery listings, call the Commissionat 843/537.8420 or visit (www.visitcheraw.com).Art League of Hilton Head inHilton Head Island, SC, OffersWorks by Addison PalmerThe Art League of Hilton Head in HiltonHead Island, SC, is presenting 17 neworiginal works by Addison Palmer, on viewin the Walter Greer Gallery, located in theArts Center of Coastal Carolina, throughOct. 20, 2012.James Addison Palmer III was born inSavannah, GA, in August of 1970.

Often derivedfrom his paintings, Munch’s prints concentrateon intensely remembered momentsin his life, compelling viewers to confrontthemes of loneliness, lust, despair, anddeath.As Munch explored the emotional terrainof his life, he experimented with printmaking,unafraid to break the rules in orderto more sharply realize his artistic vision.Because of the bare honesty of his imageryand his relentless inventiveness, Munchis acknowledged as one of the pioneeringmasters of modern art whose influencecontinues to be felt by artists today.Munch has achieved rock star status withthe recent sale of The Scream for almost$120 million. But he is “much more thanthe painter of a ludicrously expensive popicon,” insists John Coffey, deputy directorfor art at the NCMA. “Munch is one of thetowering image makers of modern times.His works probe the turbulent, even tabooreaches of the human heart with unflinchingcandor and compassion.”Describing his artistic inspirations,Munch stated, “Without anxiety and illnessI should have been like a ship without arudder.” The artist’s anxious relationships -with his family, his lovers, and society as awhole - generate images that transcend oneman’s experience and speak to universalhuman concerns.Utterly consumed by his subject matter,Munch often created several versions of thesame image. For example, the exhibitionfeatures two works titled The Kiss, depictinglovers in an embrace. One print is anpanelist, presenter, juror, and curator fornumerous projects and events.The Swannanoa Valley Fine Arts Leaguehas been active in Western North Carolinafor over forty years.

In the woodcut,the two figures are fused into a singleidentity - a terrifying notion to Munch. Ina pair of woodcuts titled The Lonely Ones,Munch uses the same printing block carvedwith an image of a couple gazing out to sea.However, each print is inked in differentcolors, dramatically altering the emotional“temperature” of the scene.Far from secondary to his paintings,these dynamic prints are considered hismost powerful and potent works. “Walkingaround this gallery,” says Coffey, “you findyourself at the birth of the modern worldwith all its thrills and apprehensions.”On Feb. 2, 2013, the NCMA featuresa lecture entitled “Munch’s Modernity”by Dr. Patricia Berman, professor of art atWellesley College.Organized by The Museum of ModernArt, New York.

Walls of Fine Wine, Raindrop,Gallant Gold, Leather Bound, and ExclusivePlum burst apart, in a literal depictionof the housing burst.Work by David H. WellsWells takes more of a documentary approachin his examination of the foreclosurecrisis. His “Foreclosed Dreams” seriesbegan in 2009, with the goal of documenting,and ultimately, understanding thisepidemic. Wells began photographing in theCentral Valley of California, an epicenterof the crisis, before moving on to RhodeIsland, Connecticut, Florida, Lousiana,Michigan, New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania.His most recent images presented inUnderwater: Interpreting the ForeclosureCrisis, were captured in the south, specificallyin the Raleigh-Durham area of NC,and in Gaffney, SC. Presenting images fromacross the United States makes evident thewidespread nature of the crisis; no locale isimmune.Wells elects to focus on empty homes– right after the foreclosure, when familiesand individuals have moved out – butbefore the houses have been cleaned andreturned to the real estate market. The imagespresented in the exhibit represent thewide array of scenes Wells has encounteredover the years. Sometimes the homes arerelatively empty, while other times theycontain heaps of clothing, food, and othermaterial items, depicting the urgent nature,at times, of such unwelcome upheavals.The assortment and abundance of items leftbehind further emphasizes the materialitycentral to the problem.Wells is more interested in photographingthe abandoned structures and the discardedobjects than documenting particularindividuals experiencing foreclosure. Infact, by focusing his lens on commonplaceobjects rather than people Wells’ seriesconveys a broad, universal crisis. Wells’installation also includes an audio collage,which includes voices from around thecountry, including some North Carolinians,discussing the concept of “home.”Artspace, a thriving visual art centerlocated in downtown Raleigh, brings thecreative process to life through inspiringand engaging education and communityoutreach programming, a dynamic environmentof over 30 professional artists studios,and nationally acclaimed exhibitions.Approximately 95 artists hold professionalmemberships in the Artspace Artists Association.Thirty-five of these artists havestudios located at Artspace.

Gregg Museum of Art & Design inRaleigh, NC, Offers New ExhibitionsThe Gregg Museum of Art & Designin Raleigh, NC, is presenting several newexhibits including: STREAMING: New Artfrom Old Bottles, featuring an installationby environmental artist Bryant Holsenbeck;Spirit-Fire-Shake! Focal Objects, featuringworks by Renee Stout, Kevin Sampson,and Odinga Tyehimba; and Art Without Artists,co-curated by John Foster and RogerManley. All three exhibitions are on viewthrough Dec. 16, 2012.Bryant Holsenbeck Installation in progress(Turchin Center Appalachian State--this exhibitionsimilar to the one that will be installed atthe Gregg)STREAMING offers a rare opportunity totake part in creating a major hands-on artworkalongside well known environmentalartist Bryant Holsenbeck. Using thousandsof plastic bottles and other recyclables, participantswill work together to build an installationin the Gregg Museum galleries aspart of the museum’s fall exhibition lineup.What the resulting piece turns out lookinglike will be up to the participants themselves.Each participant please bring 10 oftheir own (washed clean) plastic bottles andcontainers to include in the installation.Bryant Holsenbeck says, “As an environmentalartist, I collect detritus - everydayobjects that were used once and thrownaway - and make them into art. My installationsare both meditations and questions:Where does all this ‘stuff’ come from?Where does it go? What do we do with it?Why is it here?”Spirit - Fire - Shake! presents works bythree African-American artists that evokeshrines and altars, but are perhaps bestdescribed as “focal objects,” a term TibetanBuddhists use to refer to physical things thatencourage spiritual concentration.Renée Stout is a Washington, DC-basedartist who employs a variety of mediaincluding painting, drawing, mixed mediasculpture, photography and installation inan attempts to create works that encourageself-examination, introspection and theability to laugh at the absurdities of life.Her alter ego Fatima Mayfield, a fictitiousherbalist and fortuneteller, allows her to roleplay in order to confront the issues, whetherit’s relationships, social ills, or financialwoes, in a way that is open, evocative, andoften humorous.Newark, NJ, artist Kevin Sampson was aformer cop and composite sketch artist forover 19 years. He received numerous commendationsfor his work as a police artistand a medal for valor as a detective. But thedeath of his third child affected him moredeeply than anything he’d seen in the lineof duty. After losing several other familymembers he began making “memorials”from found objects not only to them but alsoto friends who had died of AIDS or drugs,erecting them in the tough neighborhoodswhere he lived.Odinga Tyehimba was born in MoundBayou, MS, grew up in Chicago andCalifornia, and served in the US Armybefore settling in Durham, NC. At hip-hopgatherings he found himself impressed bythe African-themed staffs that many of theemcees wielded, and soon began carvingcanes and staffs of his own. These soonmorphed into larger figures and assemblagesthat incorporate personal, political andmythological symbolism reflecting Africantraditions and mainstream Christianity aswell as other belief systems like Voodoo andSanteria.Art Without Artists is a show that askslots of intriguing questions. If someone casuallytakes a snapshot, and then years latersomeone else happens to recognize that itis a great photograph, who is the artist—theone who took the picture, or the one whorecognized it? Do photographers ever reallymake works of art, do they just choose themor do they only find them? Can anyone takecredit for happy accidents? What aboutabstract painters?When French Dada artist Marcel Duchampsigned his name on a commerciallymanufactured bottle-drying rack and enteredit in a 1914 Paris exhibition as a pieceof sculpture did it become art? When 12thcentury Chinese scholars rescued erodedlimestone boulders from the bottoms oflakes and placed them on pedestals, did therocks become sculptures, or were the rocksalready art when they were still underwatercenturies before anyone ever saw them?Maker unknown, Belgian, ART WITH ACAPITAL A, (c. 1950) handmade letter for sign,wood, electrical sockets, wire, collection of Johnand Teenuh FosterCombining things like anonymous snapshots,bullet-riddled deer crossing signs,industrial tools that might pass for contemporarymasterpieces, and quirky transformationalobjects that may be natural, found, orcompletely accidental, Art Without Artistsprobes whether art exists only in the eye ofthe beholder or remains forever stranded insome Twilight Zone in-between intentionand chance. Equal parts brain-teaser andeye-pleaser, the exhibition rekindles a senseof wonder while you wonder how to makesense of it all.The exhibition is co-curated by St. Louisgraphic designer John Foster and GreggMuseum director Roger Manley.For further information check our NCInstitutional Gallery listings, call the Museumat 919/515-3503 or visit (www.ncsu.edu/arts).Cedar Creek Gallery in Creedmoor, NC,Offers Political Exhibit During 45thAnnual Fall Pottery and Glass FestivalCedar Creek Gallery in Creedmoor, Nov. 6, 2012.NC, will present the exhibit, Politically The endless election political commentaryCharged: Art Celebrating American Democracy,has already begun on the television,in conjunction with the Gallery’s radio, and in newspaper.

What these talentshave in common is that Orange County,much like a gardener giving his garden thesun and care it needs to grow, has helpedcultivate the artist community in thisregion.Like a farmer’s market proudlydisplaying a season harvest, the OrangeCounty Arts Guild brings the public the18th annual Orange County Open StudioTour. The Tour will take place on Nov. 3-4and Nov. 10-11, 2012, between the hoursof 10am to 5pm on Saturdays and noon to5pm on Sundays.The Tour brings our local artists andcommunity together to celebrate creativityand diversity of the arts. For Arts Guildmember and Chapel Hill, NC, artist JulieEastman the Tour offers an opportunitynot only thank the community and showoff her creations but payback not onlyOrange County but the entire area.“Not only is the art community vibrantin Orange County, but the community atlarge is equally vibrant and supportive ofthe arts,” Eastman said.Eastman, a Massachusetts transplant,first took up art in the form of a watercolorclass in the 1990s. She fell in lovewith the medium and thus began her loveaffair with art. Upon her arrival in NorthCarolina, Eastman began teaching art andthe necessary skills at the Sertoma ArtsCenter.“I love the experience of teaching,which continually serves to sharpen myown way of thinking about painting, techniqueand composition,” Eastman said.For Chapel Hill native Trudy Thomson,the seeds of art and creativity wereplanted and grown to maturation righthere at home.“I was teaching second grade in theCarrboro/Chapel Hill Schools when I beganpainting about 15 years ago,” Thomsonsaid. “I took a class at the ArtsCenterfrom Sue Anderson called Accessing yourCreativity. It was amazing and very supportiveclass for women and I fell in lovewith painting.”However, it wasn’t until after Thomson’sretirement that she realized herdream of painting full time.“I went to a two-week course atPenland School of Crafts in Penland, NC,in encaustic which happened to be heldwhile school was starting in my first yearof retirement in 2006,” Thomson said. “Iremember how incredible it felt that mydream had come true and I could paintfull time. That was a real turning point forme.”Inspiration and creativity are much likelightning. They can come from anywhereat anytime. For fellow Arts Guild memberNadine Zenobi inspiration for work comessatirical, serious, subtle or scandalous interpretationof American politics in pottery,glass, wood, metal and fiber.No matter what your personal politicalleanings are this should be an interestingshow.Artists participating include: Alan andRosemary Bennett, Tracey Broome, WilliamBrouillard, Melisa Caddell, Nell Chandler,Erick Haagensen, A. Brooke Heuts,Betty McKim, Jennifer Mecca, MarshaOwen, Gillian Parke, Andree Richmond,Justin Rothshank, Laurie Shaman, DarcySzeremi, Adam Posnak, and Noi Volkov.For further information check our NCCommercial Gallery listings, call thegallery at 919/528-1041 or visit (www.cedarcreekgallery.com).18th Annual Orange County (NC)Open Studio Tour Takes Place -Nov. 3&4 and Nov. 10&11, 2012from the sea and the fantastically playfulmammals that inhabit it.“My biggest inspiration is swimmingin the wild with the dolphins of Hawaii,”Zenobi said. “I have been doing this forthe past 13 years and every time I am inthe water with them, a deep inner peaceand profound joy are the most prominentsensations. The ability to live in completeharmony and take care of each other anddo this with unconditional love is so veryinspirational.”Emily Lees uses her love of NorthCarolina and its vast landscape for inspiration.“Growing up in the Piedmont area ofNC, I frequently visited the Blue RidgeMountains with my parents and theirfriends,” Lees said. “I grew up to lovethe sweeping panoramas of the parkwayoverlooks and the enveloping calm of thesheltered paths.”After moving to Houston, TX, Leeswould still venture back to NC, at leastin her mind, to find her way through thecreative process.“I spent most of my adult life inHouston, a large, flat urban sprawl nearthe Gulf coast,” Lees said. “My belovedmountains were no longer a part of myactual experience, but I visited them, oftenin my mind. I derived both strength andpeace from their virtual presence.”New Orange County Open Studio Tourparticipant Lisa Goldstein creates herart in a much more familiar setting andenvironment.“I have a home studio,” Goldsteinsaid. “I turned my little-used living roominto my art studio. The upholstered pieceswent into the attic storage closet; a friend‘loaned’ me a beautiful, 9 foot teak diningtable for my art desk, a bookshelf came in,and a workspace was born.”For Goldstein the hectic everydaylifestyle causes distractions but the “inhouse”studio has been vital to her growthas an artist.“The only problem for me is that it’seasy to get distracted by working at home;the dog, the other chores, etc,” Goldsteinsaid. “But that’s also a good thing, becauseI can stop work and go make dinner,without traveling or having to put workaway for the day.”Art and its creative process has beenknown to not only grow inside of someoneand produce works of art, it also acathartic lifestyle change for some. ForEduardo Lapitina, art has served not onlyas a creative outlet but also some happiness.“I left my successful scientific career incardiovascular research due to a diagnosisof Multiple Sclerosis,” Lapitina said. “Butmy paintings have provided me a way tolive a happy life.”The one thing the artists we spokewith have in common is that they will beparticipants in the Orange County OpenStudio Tour and will be proudly displayingtheir creative works for all to see.For further info visit (www.orangecountyartistsguild.com).Don’t see info here about your exhibit or your gallery space?I guess you didn’t send it to us.We’re presenting over 50 pages filled with articles about exhibits, but therewas still room for yours.

The Durham Arts Council and Arts Guildin Durham, NC, Features Works byMembers of the Southeastern College ArtConference & Meredith College Art FacultyThe Durham Arts Council and Arts Guildin Durham, NC, is presenting the exhibit,Collisions: Where Past Meets Present,featuring works by members of the SoutheasternCollege Art Conference, on view inthe Allenton and Suntrust Galleries, throughOct. 20, 2012. A reception will be held onOct. 19, from 5-7pm.“The theme was inspired by Durhamitself,” said Mulvaney, a Meredith Collegeprofessor of art history and chair of the2012 Southeastern College Art Conference.“I lived on Durham’s West Main Street andsaw the collisions of new ways meeting oldways and making old buildings habitablefor new purposes.”The nonprofit organization, which bringstogether art educators in higher educationfrom the US and abroad, began in 1942.One of its activities is this annual meeting,which this year takes place in Durham, Oct.17-20. One hundred and nine memberssubmitted 282 works for consideration.Charles Joyner, Professor of Art andDesign at NC State University, chose 45works from 40 artists. The works fill the Allentonand SunTrust Gallery. The building’sthird gallery, the Semans, is showing theartwork of the Meredith College full-timeand adjunct art professors.“It is very exciting for the Meredithteachers to be represented in downtownDurham,” Mulvaney said. “There are sculptors,painters, ceramicists, fiber artists, anda weaver. It is a great variety for as small aswe are.”Raleigh, NC’s Meredith College, aprivate, women’s college chartered in 1891,is hosting the conference.“The Durham Arts Council was pleasedto work with the conference on their annualjuried exhibition because it provided theopportunity to introduce artists that mightnot otherwise by seen by the Durham community,”said Margaret DeMott, directorof artist services at the council. “Also, itallows us to introduce all that is great aboutdowntown Durham to the conference membership.”The collision is inspiring. There is somethinghere for any art admirer.“Visitors will see traditional methodsand works from artists who are pushing theboundaries,” Mulvaney said. This is anotherriff on the collision theme.Mulvaney said that there will be about800 conference attendees, equally dividedbetween studio artists and art historians, andthat while none of the conference artists willbe on hand for the first reception, a secondis scheduled during the conference on Oct.19. Some Meredith faculty artists will be atboth receptions.A member of the conference since 1995,Mulvaney has often taken students to themeeting and the art exhibit.“I want my students to know that I amnot the sole source of art history. They needto hear other voices. The same is true forartists,” Mulvaney said. “You are committinga grave injustice for students if theythink your way is the only way to work. Themore they see, the better they see.”One work that will certainly keep tuggingat viewers with tastes modern or traditionalis Unequal Justice, by Barbara Stubbs.The bronze, iron and steel sculptureconsists of scales with a pear on each scale.With an antiquated patina, it appears likea relic excavated from the depths of Greeksoil. It says so much in its simplicity.The pears, identical in every way, do notsit evenly on their scales, but rather one ishigher than the other. Who knows what theartist is conveying but as with any intriguingart piece, it lends complexity and interest toour lives to consider this question.Holly Fischer, a Meredith Collegeadjunct art professor who teaches studio art,installed the show, and has done an exceptionaljob unifying a show that has such abroad organizational theme.“It was like Christmas unwrapping allof those boxes,” Fischer said. “The day weinstalled was the first day I had seen any ofthe pieces. It would have been a conflict forme to be involved in choosing since I wasalso an applicant.”Serendipitously, Fischer’s extraordinarysculpture, Galatea, was chosen. Sculpted inlow-fire white clay and unglazed, the midthighto shoulder piece is about 3 feet tall.Galatea represents for Fischer part of whatshe tries to teach her students, that there aremany days when she goes backward insteadof forward. “But I follow my vision andeventually I make what I want to make.”The viewer instantly knows Galatea is afemale but again, there is much here to ponder.Her upper torso slices apart and opensapart in sections.Much of Fischer’s recent work has beenon a smaller scale than Galatea as Meredith’skiln is on the smallish size. Fischerrecently bought a kiln for her home thatenabled her to return to making larger scalework. This has brought her immense satisfactionbut also some trying times.“I think that it is good for artists to putthemselves in uncomfortable situations toremember what it is like to struggle and fail.I had to build her three times. The first twotimes she collapsed,” Fischer said. “Thathumbling experience of getting it right forthe first time makes me a stronger educatorand an artist.”For further information check our NC InstitutionalGallery listings, call the Councilat 919/560-2787 or visit (www.durhamarts.org).Carolina Artsis now onFacebookGo to this link and“like” us!Where Fine Art & The Bountyof the Sea Come TogetherJOIN US FOR AUTHOR NIGHT“Celebrate the Lowcountry”Wednesday, October 17, 20126:00 - 8:00 PM atRotary Community Center at Oscar Frazier ParkBARBARA J.

If someone casuallytakes a snapshot, and then years later someoneelse happens to recognize that it is a greatphotograph, who is the artist—the one who tookthe picture, or the one who recognized it? Dophotographers ever really make works of art, dothey just choose them or do they only find them?Can anyone take credit for happy accidents?What about abstract painters? Through Dec. 16- "SPIRIT – FIRE – SHAKE!," presents works bythree African-American artists that evoke shrinesand altars, but are perhaps best described as“focal objects,” a term Tibetan Buddhists use torefer to physical things that encourage spiritualconcentration. Renée Stout is a Washington,DC-based artist who employs a variety of mediaincluding painting, drawing, mixed media sculpture,photography and installation in an attemptsto create works that encourage self-examination,introspection and the ability to laugh at the absurditiesof life. Newark, NJ, artist Kevin Sampsonwas a former cop and composite sketch artistfor over 19 years. He received numerous commendationsfor his work as a police artist anda medal for valor as a detective. But the deathof his third child affected him more deeply thananything he’d seen in the line of duty. After losingseveral other family members he began making“memorials” from found objects not only to thembut also to friends who had died of AIDS or drugs,erecting them in the tough neighborhoods wherehe lived. Odinga Tyehimba was born in MoundBayou, MS, grew up in Chicago and California,and served in the US Army before settling inDurham, NC. At hip-hop gatherings he found himselfimpressed by the African-themed staffs thatmany of the emcees wielded, and soon begancarving canes and staffs of his own. These soonmorphed into larger figures and assemblagesthat incorporate personal, political and mythologicalsymbolism reflecting African traditions andmainstream Christianity as well as other beliefsystems like Voodoo and Santeria.

Through Feb. 10, 2013 -"Edvard Munch: Symbolism in Print". The greatNorwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863–1944)created some of the most visually arresting andpsychologically powerful images in the history ofart. Best known in popular culture for his painting“The Scream,” Munch explored through paintingsand prints the turbulent emotional landscapesof modern life and the anguished silence of theindividual. Munch was also an experimental printmakerof astonishing daring and virtuosity. Farfrom being secondary to his paintings, Munch’sgraphic works are among his most forceful images.This exhibition, drawn from the encyclopediccollections of The Museum of Modern Art,examines the major themes in Munch’s art asexpressed in graphic media, principally lithographsand woodcuts. After a century the printshave lost none of their raw power to move us.They provoke questions—about life, death, love,sex, what it means to be human—questions thatcan never be answered but are still worth asking.East Building: Meymandi Exhibition Gallery,Oct. 21 - Jan. 13, 2013 - "Still-Life Masterpieces:A Visual Feast from the Museum of Fine Arts,Boston," features works by Renoir, Cézanne,Matisse, O’Keeffe, and more.
