Mint Museum Uptown inCharlotte, NC, Features PinsWorn by Madeleine AlbrightThe Mint Museum Uptown in Charlotte,NC, will present the exhibit, ReadMy Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection,on view from June 30 through Sept.23, 2012.During her career in public service,Madeleine Albright famously used herjewelry to communicate diplomatic messages.Read My Pins: The MadeleineAlbright Collection, which reveals anintriguing story of American history andforeign policy as told through SecretaryAlbright’s jeweled pins.Madeleine Albright, portrait by TimothyGreenfield-Sanders“The Mint Museum is proud to bringthis groundbreaking exhibition to Charlotteaudiences at the same time the city ispreparing to host one of the nation’s ultimateexercises of democracy, the DemocraticNational Convention,” said Dr.Kathleen V. Jameson, President & CEO ofThe Mint Museum. The convention runsSept. 3-6, 2012.Secretary Albright is scheduled tovisit The Mint Museum on July 13-14 fora series of events around the exhibition,including a private invitation-only eventon July 13 and public events on July 14.Organized by the Museum of Arts and Designin New York, the exhibition featuresmore than 200 pieces of jewelry.The collection that Secretary Albrightcultivated is distinctive and democratic- sometimes demure and understated,sometimes outlandish and outspoken -and spans more than a century of jewelrydesign and fascinating pieces from acrossthe globe. The works on view are chosenfor their symbolic value, and while someare fine antiques, many are costume jewelry.Together the pieces in this expressivecollection explore the power of jewelry tocommunicate through a style and languageof its own.Jewelry became part of Albright’sdiplomatic arsenal in 1994 when SaddamHussein’s government-controlled pressreferred to Albright, who was at that timeUS Ambassador to the United Nations,as an “unparalleled serpent.” At her nextmeeting on the subject of Iraq, Albrightwore a golden snake brooch, beginning acareer-long practice of using jewelry toconvey and reinforce diplomatic messages.Lark & Key Gallery and Boutique, inCharlotte, NC, will present the exhibit,Storytellers, featuring new works byElizabeth Foster, Vicki Sawyer and TraceyBroome, on view from June 1 throughJuly 28, 2012.Born into a family of painters, musiciansand creative thinkers, ElizabethFoster was never bored as a child. Alwaysencouraged to “make things”, it wasonly natural that she would find her owncreative path – eventually becoming asongwriter and painter herself. Foster’slove of music influences her artwork. She“While President George H.W. Bushhad been known for saying ‘Read mylips,’ I began urging colleagues andreporters to ‘Read my pins’,” Albright hassaid. Through this traveling exhibition andthe accompanying book “Read My Pins:Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box”(2009), Secretary Albright has given theworld an opportunity to explore Americanhistory and foreign policy through theunique lens of jewelry.Read My Pins: The Madeleine AlbrightCollection was organized by the Museumof Arts and Design in New York.

Although theprocess of collage can be traced back tothe invention of paper, it was Cubist paintersGeorges Braque and Pablo Picassowho coined the term in the early 1900swhen collage emerged in conjunction withthe early stages of modernism.The exhibiting artists include RomareBearden, Ernesto Berra, Felicia van Bork,Stanley Boxer, Thornton Dial, Raul Diaz,Mary Giehl, William Halsey, Rick Horton,Ida Kohlmeyer, Alfred Leslie, LoranMontgomery, Robert Motherwell, ManuelReyna, Ramon Urban and Esteban Vicente.When asked about the inspirationfor her work, Hanson states, “For me,creating a quilt or fiber piece is less aboutcommunicating some deep inner thought,and more a celebration of color, pattern,texture and joy. My communication issensory.”At 71, Hanson’s current focus is thebacklog of pieces that she still wants tocreate. The June exhibition at Ciel Gallerymarks the first time her favorite pieceswill be available for purchase.

I’ll have pieces ofall sizes in the show.”“Fiber piecework is a natural companionto the mosaics we usually display,”says Ciel founding partner Pam Goode.“In each medium, we’re creating beautyand power through manipulation andcombination. The work sings because ofthe way the artist envisions the parts comingtogether as a whole, whether throughcolor, pattern, or a specific cut.”For further information check our NCCommercial Gallery listings, call thegallery at 980/202-2435 or visit (www.cielcharlotte.com).Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte,NC, Features Works by Felicia vanBork, Thornton Dial, and OthersDoodles created by 10 students fromthroughout North Carolina will be on viewthrough Sept. 30, 2012, in the lobby of theBechtler Museum of Modern Art in Charlotte,NC.Work by Felicia van BorkFor further information check our NCCommercial Gallery listings, call thegallery at 704/365-3000 or visit (www.jeraldmelberg.com).Bechtler Museum of Modern Art inCharlotte, NC, Offers Google DoodlesWork by Lauren J.

Nighttimeand darkness are specific forms of space- opportunity, the unknown, staring at thestars, making out the shapes in silhouettesof trees and buildings. ‘Nocturne’ isn’tjust about nighttime, though.

These realistic renderings willshowcase figures, still lifes, and landscapes.The largest of these titled Waiting for thefleet which measures 44” x 64” and tookfour months to complete.“I was exhausted when it was done, butsatisfied the same,” Phillips said. In it, ispictured a young, exotic lady sitting in achair on a dock looking over her shoulder.Next to her is a man grasping an old waterhose. They both are waiting for a ghost fleetof shrimp boats that will never make port.“This theme occurred to me while livingon the Dahoo Cut which separates EdistoIsland with Hollywood, SC. In the marshwas one of these sunken shrimp boats thatused this dilapidated old dock pictured inthis piece. Back in the 1930’s, there was anentire fleet of boats that would go out everydayto catch fish for fertilizer. This businessended in the early 1970’s,” said Phillips.The abstract paintings are based imparton Nihilism. Too many people, let alone artiststry to align themselves with one groupor another. Everyone’s boxed in. This is anidea that did not suit American artist EdwinDickinson (1891-1978) who refused to takesides. He was well respected by the AbstractExpressionist, Surrealists, and other movementsof the day.“I have been torn between these two fortwenty years until 2011,” Phillips said. “Nomore!!”Photographer Christopher Gamble isan up and coming artist in his own right.

You neverquite know what to expect, what yoursubject will be, or what incident may popup in the course of the painting to add tothe experience and to the image itself.

The images were featuredin Camera Arts Magazine.Burkholder has been teaching digitalimaging workshops around the world formany years, including the The School ofthe Art Institute, Chicago; The Museumof Photographic Arts, San Diego; TheInternational Center of Photography, NY;Santa Fe Workshops; The Royal PhotographicSociety of Spain; Anderson Ranchand many others. Active with the TexasPhotographic Society for many years, hecurrently sits on the advisory board.Burkholder received both his BA andMaster's Degrees from Brooks Instituteof Photography. No stranger to traditionalphotography, he was a workshop studentof Ansel Adams and his mastery of thewet darkroom was highlighted by servingas assistant to both John Sexton andJerry Uelsmann. In the early 1990’s, hewas one of the first photographic artists toembrace digital technology. Originatingthe digital-negative process in 1992, Burkholderhas helped open doors for all blackand white photographers interested inmoving into the new electronic technologies.His award-winning book, MakingDigital Negatives for Contact Printing, isconsidered the most authoritative work inthe field.Burkholder is always pushing the creativeenvelope and over the years he hasprinted a variety of traditional and digitalfine art prints, including platinum prints,platinum over palladium prints, platinumover gold foil prints, pigment overplatinum prints, pigmented ink prints andHDR (High Dynamic Range) prints. Hisexquisite prints are included in private andmuseum collections internationally.“The wonder of these photographsis that they look like paintings, yet theobjects depicted within them are notidealized,” says Andrei Codrescu. “Thedying domestic objects of the people towhom these interiors belong are no longerof this world. They have been capturedon their journey to becoming indistincttrash. At the moment of their capture, theystill looked like what they used to be, butmoments after they were photographed,they no longer were anything. Their lastbreath of life is in these photographs; theironly existence is in the memories of theirowners.”Codrescu continues, “The style ofBurkholder’s photographic essay bothresembles and opposes Victorian funeraryphotography. The Victorians likedpictures of their departed ones resting oncatafalques or deathbeds, dressed in theirbest clothes, exuding order and serenity.Burkholder’s content could not bemore different; everything is disorder,chaos, disruption - and rich chromaticbeauty. The engraving quality of the printsreminds us, perversely, of wedding invitationsand other solemn announcements,raising again the paradoxical question ofthe connection between Catastrophe andArt. Meanwhile, Burkholder has, withoutquestion, immersed himself and us in anunrepeatable vision.”For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call thegallery at 843/842-5299 or visit (www.picturethishiltonhead.com).The deadline each month to submit articles, photos and ads is the 24th of the monthprior to the next issue.

You could say that mineis an exploration of the ‘inner landscape’ ofexperience, memory, and emotion. At thesame time the abstract nature of the imagesallows each viewer to form his/her ownassociations.”“Painting for me is always a processof discovery. That is what intrigues meand keeps me working, and these workshave led me on a continuing experience ofdiscovery.

As a result, muchof my work has an Asian feel incorporatingfree-form pieces of wood that may wellhave been destined for mulch, firewood or alandfill. From the beginning of my involvementwith using an obscure piece of woodto make something lovely and fine, everythinghas fallen into place to keep me firmlyentrenched in woodworking, sometimes asart, sometimes as craft.

Francis Marion University inFlorence, SC, Offers NewExhibitions for the SummerFrancis Marion University in Florence,SC, is presenting two new exhibits including,Florence Museum Painters, featuringworks by Uschi Jeffcoat, MinnamieMurphy, Betsey Olsen, Sherry Williams,and Dale Worsham, and Pieces of Work,featuring works by Jo and Hugh Jeffers.Both exhibits are on view in the HymanFine Arts Center Gallery through Aug. 9,2012.Uschi Jeffcoat offered the followingstatement: “I paint because it transfers aninternal tension in times of stress as wellas an internal ease in times of reflection.The creative process provides a harbor forchaos or embraces measured control. I canexperience both a calm stillness and momentsof intense focused energy. Watercoloris the medium in which I currentlyfind the most delight. The medium reflectsmy personality in that it appreciates goodplanning echoing a work ethic of workbefore pleasure. Influenced by the peopleand spaces I encounter, I attempt to reflectthat in a manner that is simple yet withhidden complexities and contradictions.”Minnamie Murphy offered the followingstatement about her work: “Asa mother of 5 little boys, I find myselfmerely skimming the surface of life manya day, justifying it as survival. In contrastto the hurriedness, painting is a welcomeoccasion to slow down, regain sanity, bestill and think (or not). Creativity makesme re-grow roots as lines, colors, andshapes join to make a whole; a spaciouswhole that orders the discombobulatedand forges continuity between differentaspects of life. It is a process that invitesme to move more slowly, look more intently,appreciate more fully and be morealive than the surface alone allows.”Betsey Olsen says, “I’m not sure thatI have developed enough as an artist toWork by Sherry Williamshave a statement as an artist. My subjectsare varied, my style is all over, my influencesare from every direction. Do I reallyhave anything to say? I do know I want artto be joyous to me. It can be riotous andhappy but it can be quiet and peaceful,somber and serious or curious, weird andwonderful. It does reflect my life - all overthe place. For now it is an exciting challengeto try something new, develop newskills and find new techniques. I am soleft-brained I want to know the chemistrybehind the paint and the physics behindthe process. I think I’ll shake things up abit next time. I’ll try throwing paint!”Sherry Williams offers, “As a child Iwas able to attend art classes taught bycontinued above on next column to the right Table of ContentsJane Jackson. I realized a few years agothat I really missed painting. I was ableto start taking classes again and haveenjoyed the process of learning differentart techniques. Hopefully, one day I willbe able to create on paper what I see in mymind.”Dale Worsham said, “As a child I lovedto draw, color or do anything that was creative.I would buy markers or pens everytime I was in a store.

One of themost unusual displays attracting significantattention is the work of Jim Gleason.Gleason is a professional musician and aspecialist in the repair and restoration ofbrass and woodwind instruments. Thirtyyears in the Marines and a number ofyears playing with, and handling logisticsfor, the United States Marine band giveshim a rare level of technical skill. So,when a man with that level of knowledgeand appreciation of instruments looks atdiscarded instrument pieces with a senseWork by Patz Fowleof whimsy, something special can occur.For the first time anywhere, Gleasonhas introduced the public to his uniquesculptural pieces fashioned from the remnantsof musical instruments. Embodyingan underlying sense of humor that isreminiscent of the works of Patz and MikeFowle, Gleason has created a menagerieof creatures unlike anything the visitor hasseen before. What is especially delightfulis that the largest of his pieces, a giganticserpent in the manner of a 16th centurytuba, can be played! Even the most sophisticatedindividual breaks into a smilewhen Gleason is persuaded to make theserpent sing.

Robin states the showis juried, the art quality is outstanding, andevery artist exhibits their own work, as perthe show rules that are strictly enforced.Visitors and locals know that special giftsand seaside mementos will be their own,“people are creatively inspired.”Robin claims that Art in the Park is likeno other art show she has encountered.Between the artists, “everyone is lookingout for each other” thus it creates a familyfeel. In general, “we meet so many greatpeople and vendors from around the countrythat it is like an extended family.”Utterback looks after the artists. Athunderstorm came up at an April 2012Art in the Park. She advised vendorsbefore a tremendous wind and rainstormthat it is up to you whether to pack up orweather the storm, “take care of your ownartistic work and product.” If you need tobreakdown your tent, display, and boothto protect your investment “use your bestjudgment.”Dixie Dugan, renowned South Carolinawatercolorist and painter, was one of thefour Art in the Park founders forty yearsago in 1972. “My husband, Tommy, andI just pulled our car into the park, openedthe doors, and placed paintings up againstthe car. Daughter, Susan, leaned againsta tree trunk all day making macramébelts.” Other founders the first year wereBetty and Harry Peat, Sudie Daves, andMary Arthur.

There was noadvertising, all artists painted in oils, andsolicitations were taken up from locallyinspired business owners and benefactorsto defray costs. A German Band with Mr.Lowe and his wife, Judy, played for visitorsat no cost. Local high school bandsperformed without charge. Newspaperswere always supportive and when a newartist had a first showing a special articlewas featured on the back page at no costby the Suncatcher Newspaper.Every hour a different artist woulddemonstrate their artistic talent – oilpainting, kudzu baskets, wood craftsmen, furniture, glass blowing, makingbrooms, and water colorists – all types ofart. Crowds would buzz with anticipationand artistic talents were show pieced anddemonstrated.At one time 110 artists participatedthus being “juried in” was initiated to“eliminate riff raff or canned goods forsale – no commercial or mass producedstuff.” Dixie Dugan said, “We tried best tonot look like a flea market.” Her thoughtwas for original art and a creative pursuit.For security and safety a Horry Countypoliceman was hired for the nights. Hedrove his car into the park center, stayedthe night, and when questioned as whatproblems he encountered, “no one in thispark after dark but me.” He worked Fridayand Saturday nights from 6pm, arrivingas artists were packing up for the day, andwelcoming artists back at 8am Saturdayand Sunday mornings.up for what’s right and do what’s right.”Dugan has always and, will until the dayshe dies, believed in artistic quality.

It became my voice for the storiesand characters in my head.”Mark Gordon has worked in clay fornearly 40 years, beginning with wheelthrowing and expanding into modular assembledclay sculptures and mixed-mediasite-specific installations. He says, “Thephysicality of clay, along with its remarkableability to freeze action and respondto physical impact, to retain any fleetingimpression, immediately and permanentlycaptured my interest decades ago. Clay isa universal medium: potters’ vessels haveformed an essential part of material culture.My work explores inherent propertiesof clay transformed through the kiln’sincandescent energy. I approach clay workas an act of pulling shape out of inchoatematter, an ongoing experiment in seekingvariation and harmony in shapes.”Ashley York says, “The selected bodyof work is intended as an amusing andfictitious reflection of humanity’s relationshipto the ubiquitous machines that supportour daily lives. The pieces are builtwithout a specific purpose in mind andthe intention is for the viewer to use theirimagination to assign a function, completingthe piece. My work deals with ourunbalanced dependence on technology,which leads to an emotional attachmentto our gadgets. Our pursuit of the newest,flashiest, and most desired devices teachesus to value other things in our lives inthose terms.”This project was supported by the N.C.Arts Council, a division of the Departmentof Cultural Resources.For further information check ourNC Institutional Gallery listings, call theCouncil at 828/754-2486 or visit (www.caldwellarts.com).Morganton, NC, Hosts Exhibitions ofWestern North Carolina Studio GlassThe Bascom in Highlands, NC, is presentingthree new exhibits including: AlexMatisse: Ometto, Green Art and From Mudto Art, Highlands High School Ceramics.“In Italy, the word Ometto, meaning‘little man’, is used to describe rock cairnsthat lead the way on hiking trails above thetree line,” shares Alex Matisse whose workswill be at The Bascom through Oct. 21,2012.The pots in the exhibition originate fromthe tradition of salt-glazed stoneware gravemarkers that were made in abundance in theThe studio glass movement in Americacelebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012.

Gathering thirteen artists and designers fromacross the state—and across generations—thisexhibition is a platform to reimagine the possibilitiesof a once fundamental industrial stapleof North Carolina.
