A reception will be held on Oct. 7,from 5-8pm.Work by Nathan DurfeeDurfee’s fanciful storylines have led toa cult following in Charleston where the28-year-old artist resides. He was votedbest visual artist two years running by theCharleston City Paper (over 60,000 peoplevote each year) and was recently profiledin Charleston Magazine. His last soloexhibition held at RLS this past Octoberwas viewed by over a thousand people onopening night.One collector’s comment as she walkedthrough last year’s exhibit was, “I thinkNathan’s so popular because there’s anhonesty in his work that is sometimes witty,sometimes playful, and sometimes sad.”Carrie Cooney continued, “I find that asI experience the show I can see differentfacets of the artist’s nature resonating withineach of his characters and I can’t help butfeel like I’m part of a secret.”Durfee’s emblematic works speak notonly of the artist’s own existential journeybut also a universal human experience.Often painted in series the charactersexperience everything from heart breakto frustration as reactions to internal andexternal stimuli.“I am a storyteller without a story,” saysDurfee. “These paintings reveal little spansof time in a world I haven’t quite figuredout yet.

The painting depicts a giraffe, hiddenbehind a homemade bird mask with buttonsas eyes, professing his love to a tiny bird ona branch. The mismatch of textures, colorsand unlikely characters, plays on the timelessstory of star-crossed lovers.Durfee’s painting style is a contemporaryupdate of folk meets pop-surrealism andcontinually exceeds the expectations ofcollectors.

A receptionwill be held on Oct. 7, from 5-8pm.Work by Betty Anglin SmithThe exhibition was born from the magnificentsunsets of last October. The artist isforever inspired by the beauty of the Lowcountryand the change in the skies lightthat happens around October. “October lightis amazing in Charleston. The humidity hasfinally settled down and the atmosphereclears to allow for the most dramatic hues inthe skies,” says Smith.The vibrant Lowcountry skies haveinspired artists in the area for years andSmith is no exception. Her large paintingsallow for the action and emotion of thescenes to be interpreted through her thickexpressive brushstrokes that have becomeher hallmark. The unique beauty of the tidallandscapes of the Lowcountry is captured inSmith’s paintings with the use of bold color.Her paintings have impact and leave a lastingimpression on their audience. The artistexplores the changes in atmosphere duringa sunset, while transporting the viewer intothe Fall season through this exhibition.Smith explains “I think that the older I get,the more fascinated and entertained I am bynature, the changing seasons and the colorsthey bring”.Smith is a native of the Carolinas’ andhas firmly established herself as an enduringartist in the region. After the birthof her triplets, all now successful artiststhemselves, Smith pursued her training asan artist and has been painting full timeever since.

Sure, clothing and hairstyle change,but other aspects of life, imagery, emotions,etc., do not and have not for hundreds ofthousands of years.”Liston believes that a good figurativepainting has to contain four basic componentsincluding: correct anatomy; goodcomposition; strong artistic elements suchas shape, value, and edge; and finally, emotionor atmosphere. “I’ve spent my entirecareer as a painter trying to master theseessentials and I think this collection of workembodies these concepts,” he says.Liston has three favorite pieces that willappear in the exhibition: Red, Blue, and Yellow.Each piece focuses on the balance ofcolor and the effects of light on color, theyalso balance the literal and conceptual. Theywere painted in Liston’s studio using threeof his best models. If Liston had to choosehis favorite piece in the exhibit, he wouldchoose Red.Although he studied art the University ofUtah, Liston considers himself a primarilyself-taught artist. If he had to name amentor, he would choose renowned sculptorEdward Fraughton. “I worked for Ed inhis foundry for over 15 years.

It’s odd to say I learned how topaint from a sculptor, but to a certain extentit’s true,” he confesses.As for influences, he names the greatAmerican illustrators such as Newell ConversWyeth and Howard Pyle as his earliestsources of inspiration. Later in life, however,Liston gravitated towards the likes ofJohn William Waterhouse and John SingerSargent.The human form heavily inspiresListon. “People are beautiful, mysterious,ever- changing and completely individual.I never, ever tire of drawing, paintingand sculpting the human figure and Ivery strongly believe I never will.

Using light and shadow to conveythe mood and flavor of an ethereal moment,his paintings are works of art focused onscenes of solitude, which the viewer mayhappen upon regularly or glimpse momentarilyin passing.“The place doesn’t have to be profoundor monumentally significant, it just hasto express something in me that anotherperson can understand and appreciate,” saysOrr.With a strong focus on landscape, Orr’swork is essentially about the atmosphericeffect that he captures with his acrylic paint.Most viewers of his work find it surprisingthat the medium he chooses to paintin is acrylic, but when viewed in person itis evident that he can mix colors and findtexture and luminosity that few can achievein this medium.For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call the galleryat 843/722-2172 or visit(www.thesylvangallery.com).City of North Charleston FeaturesWorks by Members of the SouthCarolina Watermedia Societyorganization in South Carolina to promoteartists who work in watermedia, whichincludes watercolor, acrylic, gouache, andcasein among others.

REVISITEDA Few Words From Down UnderVisual Art vs Entertainmentby Judith McGrathUsually I approach exhibitions byrecently graduated visual art students withhigh expectations of enjoying thoughtprovoking examples of contemporary art.Unfortunately, more often than not thesedays, the anticipation provides more satisfactionthan the reality.Recently I attended an exhibition ofwork by students of a prestigious art collegein this city (Perth, Australia). It wasmore than disappointing. Of the sixty-fiveexhibits presented only four offered a visualexperience that engaged my attentionwith form and content, displayed an acceptablelevel of skill and communicatedsomething other than a pun. There weremore than the usual number of flashingslide projections, silent videos andinteractive computer displays. It is hardto relate to this type of exhibit becauseit, not the viewer, dictates the terms ofengagement leaving no room for personalinterpretation. These particular effortswere difficult to evaluate due to equipmentfailure, while the only messages Icould decipher were about fun and games.It was obvious the new artists didn’t knowthe difference between art, visual art andentertainment.The confusion is understandable. Justpick up any Sunday paper and find thesection headed Arts & Entertainment. Itgives us movie schedules interspersedwith dates and venues for live rockconcerts, information on the City BalletCompany’s production of Swan Lakeand opening hours at the Zoo. Betweenphotographs of television stars and actionsshots from the latest video release we findthe column offering edited media releasesfrom fine art galleries and professionaltheater groups. Clumped together like thisit is difficult to determine which eventsare Art, offering food for thought, andwhich events are Entertainment, providinga fun experience.In the gallery, when viewing the exhibitsproved boring, I began to observe theaudience. Most visitors walked non-stoparound the venue, slowed at a few exhibitsbut none caught their attention sufficientlyto cause them to stop, investigate, consider.When a group of four art studentscame in the reactions were very different.They glided through the display stoppinghere and there; audible responses includedlaughter with the occasional “Wow” or“Yeah”. They seemed to like the work ofthose they knew, weren’t much interestedin the efforts of those they didn’t, anddiscussed the artists not the art.As undergraduates at the same institutionthey were initiates, attending theshow to write about it for their art historyclass. I asked what they thought of theexhibition and all agreed it was “great”,it was “fun”. They liked one video (knewthe people in it), enjoyed the computergame (but it crashed) and agreed theexhibit with the rusty tin and fluffy fabricwas really good. One member of thegroup remembered its title but not thename of the artist. No one knew what wasbeing communicated yet all agreed it wasfunny (entertaining) and a good work ofart. This experience and exchange wasunsettling. It brought me to the opinionthat if it is to survive, Visual art must beheld separate from Art and kept far awayfrom Entertainment.Visual art and Art (craft, dance, music,literature) have similar origins and aspirations.Their primary purpose was a formof communication between humanityand the gods before becoming a way forreligious and secular rulers to instructtheir subjects. Visual art and Art encouragescontemplation of, and challenges to,confirmed cultural truths. Entertainmenton the other hand is intended to divertthe mind away from serious concerns byoffering aimless pleasure. The parametersof Visual art and Art are flexible, oftenintegrating as they are the keepers of culture.Frescoes and icons epics and odes,morality plays and satirical poetry, themusic, movement and costumes of sacredand secular rituals, these are the vesselsthat hold our history. Entertainment hasalready made broad inroads to Art, heavenhelp us if it overtakes Visual art. I haveseen the visual pollution that results whenEntertainment tries to be Visual art.Entertainment, from team sports to astand-up comedy routine, is easily accessiblefor a fee. It distracts us with livelysights and sounds and the promise ofthrills or laughter. We are passive spectators,good entertainment does not callfor actual participation, it is calculatedto tempt us into accepting the vicarious(virtual) experience. Even interactiveelectronic amusement is controlled andwe are penalized if we make an incorrectresponse or attempt lateral thinking.Entertainment is intended to wash over usas we offer up our minds and emotions tobe played with, emptied, than tossed asidefor the next wave of paying customers.If we are exhausted at its conclusion it’sfrom the adrenaline not our overworkedthought processes.Art such as dance, music, theater andin some cases film, are valid art forms intheir intention but today the outcome isoften more entertaining than inspiring.They are presented at a calculated time ina specific space that requires an entry fee.The performers dictate our experience;they decide the duration of the presentation,manipulate our emotive reactions,and rarely invite our participation exceptto express approval. The audience ismore passive than active; we witness theperformance, we are placed at a distanceand held there by the construction of thevenue. We are validating bums on seats.In order to survive these days, most artforms must first entertain then hopefullyengage the intelligence or imagination ofthe audience.Visual Art is accessible free of chargein a public place or private gallery. Itinvites the viewer to actively participatein the experience. It does not dictate ourresponse instead it solicits an exchange,one that may differ according to eachindividual. We can spend as much timeas we want with an exhibit, view it froma distance or up close, walk around it orstand in front of it and consider it as wechoose. A good work of visual art inspiresthe intellect, touches an emotion or ignitesthe imagination. It asks us to considerthe subject, medium, image or idea andrelate it to our own life experiences. Thiscontemplation often lingers on the bordersof the mind after leaving the venue.A work of visual art is still and silent,we approach it rather than it invading ourspace. We invite its peaceful presence,unlike the demanding visual stimuli thatbombards our eye in every aspect of ourlives. In the city street our periphery visionis constantly attacked by constructedimages, some accompanied with sound,that vie for our attention. This barragecontinues at home when we turn on thetelevision. Kinetic images, factual andfantasy, become a single blur of visual“infotainment”. To survive we havelearned to turn a blind eye in the samemanner we turn a deaf ear to traffic noise.Our mind turns off while our eyes remainopen.Today’s visual art student will find ithard to cross the void between open eyecontinued above on next column to the rightTable of Contentsand closed mind for two reasons. First,they are unaware it exists and second,they don’t realize that viewing a work ofvisual art involves making a consciouseffort. We must enlist our mind or emotionin order to see past the surface of thephysical object and perceive its metaphysicalintention.Modern art students are rightly taughttheir work must be contemporary, itshould reflect attitudes of its society andemploy the icons and visual vocabularyof its culture. Just as Michaelangelo’sDavid was contemporary to his era, sotoo modern artists must echo the ethos oftheir “now”. And they do, by producingexhibits that offer a quick visual fix thatentertains the spectator. They reflect anAge of Entertainment rather than Enlightenment.Regrettably these potential artistshave not been taught that for visual art tobe good, it must be anchored by a qualitythat continues beyond instant gratificationto communicate with viewers across timeand geography. David certainly does. Hewas and still is a symbol of hope, to manycultures. He stands forever a brave youngman gathering the mental fortitude to dobattle against a formidable foe.The delightful students I spoke withhaven’t learned how to establish that kindof visual dialogue; they only know howto produce something entertaining to lookat. They don’t know how or why visual artcan or should connect with its past, projectto its future, all the while communicatingin its own time. They don’t understandabout cultural vessels. But they will writetheir reports in academic art-speak which,like the exhibition, will be consideredentertaining and communicate very little.They will probably get a pass.My one hope is that somewhere in theirart education they will learn sufficientskills to fall back on when the hoopla andhyperbole of art school is over and theystart looking for work in the real art world.Meanwhile, they thoroughly enjoyed theexhibition believing they were engagingin works of visual art when in fact theywere re-acting to its entertainment value.But then, they don’t know how to differentiatebetween the two.Judith McGrath lives in Kalamunda,Western Australia, 25 minutes east ofPerth.

Odd pieces, historic bits andpieces stories that build upon stories,some being scary some being humorousare all part of these works.Work by Mary WalkerIs it a glimpse into the artist’s psyche?Is it just snippets of images from her pastworks coming to her “sleeping” mind? Atdifferent times in our lives, during transitions,times of great turmoil around us andeven in times of prolific creative productionwe seem to have increased dreamlives. The dreams (or nightmares) provideguidance perhaps or a dumping ground forour worries. Or maybe they only providefodder for the artist’s studio time.If we study the unsettling times aroundus, bringing life issues of stability intoplay, it makes sense that the dream worldwould address these circumstances usingimages familiar to the dreamer. Walker’simages of the stranger returning, theelongated figures like teeth on a stick fromthe petroglyphes out west, Pinocchio withthe lessons learned and taught, althoughoften scary and odd on backgrounds of“danger” yellow with dark shadows andmissing limbs are disturbing but not horrifying.The whimsical nature of Walker’swork is still present but with an intensity.The mixing of nightmares with dreamsperhaps indicates that the seesaw of lifeis seeking to create balance in this crazy,topsy turvy world.Mary Walker settled in Charlestonafter a time studying in New York at theArt Students’ League.

Similarly, the Plaza Midwoodneighborhood surrounding the church hasa significant relationship with the greaterCharlotte community - once affected byeconomic decline, the neighborhood is nowexperiencing growth and renewal.Focusing on these characteristics as wellas the architecture of the historic church,the team employed structural elementsand video to construct an installation thatreflects transformation and growth.“I have long been drawn to workingwithin spaces that are both architecturallyand historically diverse,” explained Ivy.“The challenge of working with students ofarchitecture provided new perspectives onways of organizing and constructing space,as well as how issues of culture, community,and history can be considered.”“A major goal for the project was tocreate a charged atmosphere that intimatelyconsiders the existing architecture, the historyof the space, and the community,” saidIvy.A multi-media artist born in Hartsville,SC, Ivy received a Bachelor’s degree inFine Arts at Coker College and a Masterof Fine Arts degree from the School of theMuseum of Fine Arts at Tufts University inBoston, MA.A view outside the church“Her senior exhibition, more than tenyears ago, was an installation of large clayand vine forms,” recalls art professor andchair of the department Jean Grosser. “Ithas been especially gratifying to see thatimagery evolve in her drawings and installationwork over the years.”Ivy’s works have been shown nationallyand internationally including in the Old CityJail in Charleston, SC, as part of the PiccoloSpoleto Festival and at the Sguardi SonoriFestival in Venice, Benevento and Frascati,Italy. Her video work has been shown insuch venues as GASP in Boston, BostonUniversity’s 808 Gallery, the MassachusettsCollege of Art, The Museum of Fine Artsin Boston, the Rhode Island InternationalFilm Festival in Providence, RI, and in theBerkeley Small Film Festival in Berkeley,CA.Ivy received the Bartlett Award from theSchool of the Museum of Fine Arts in 2006and in 2010 was awarded an artist residencyat the McColl Center for Visual Art.In 2011, she was granted artist residenciesfrom both the Taipei Artist Village in Taipei,Taiwan and ALTER-Auberge in Montreal,Canada.

The artist hopes thatlooking at her paintings can evoke a senseof peace and tranquility.Puryear offers the following statementwhich defines her perspective of her workand goals: “I paint so that I can express myselfand create beauty. I have always gottenlost in my art work – I can paint for hoursand forget about eating or sleeping. Mostof my paintings are inspired by images I’vecaptured in a photo or just by something inmy mind. I like taking an image and makingit my own – what we see in a photographis seldom what we are actually processingin our mind. I remember a shape or acolor that may not be apparent to everyone.Sometimes the colors I use in my paintingsare dissections of the whole – a brown treemight look like blue, red and yellow to meinstead of just brown. As an artist I want tostretch the imagination of the viewer.”For further information check our SCInstitutional Gallery listings, call Cara-linGetty, Gallery Director, at 803/938-3727or e-mail at (cgetty@uscsumter.edu) or theGallery Assistant, Laurel Jordan at (jordalau@uscsumter.edu).Aiken Artist Guild in Aiken, SC,Features Works by Barbara YonArt Gallery of NJ.

Brown Thornton2007 - 2011, featuring works by thisAiken, SC, artist on view through Oct. 8,2011. The exhibition will present paintingsfrom the past four years.Thornton’s aesthetic sensibilities rangefrom non-objective or representational expressionismto Pop Art. The main themesof his work are memories, reality and theunknown.“Memory represents a tangible awarenessof the past,” Thornton says. “Eventsthat have physical remnants and experiencesthat form our empirical knowledgeof reality. At the same time, thesememories dissolve, become idealized,fragmented, or outright forgotten. Realityrepresents our sense of what is true orfact and the ability for this knowledge ortruth to change over time. The idea of theunknown represents events of the future,what happens next in an unpredictablereality.”“On a larger scale, the uncertaintysurrounds general questions about beingalive,” says Thornton adding. “The idea ofpeople knowing their beginning and inevitableend, this awareness of a limited timealive, a fragmented, idealized, and vaguememory of the past, fundamental changesin our day to day life, and complete uncertaintyof the future, has branched the workinto these three fundamental areas.”Thornton (b. 1976) is among Souththe Sign of the Salamander, a home goodsand furnishing store in Myrtle Beach, SC,which carried goods gathered on their tripsabroad.

Areception will be held on Oct. 6, from6-8pm.A look at Parise’s body of work revealsa great deal about the artist’s life and thepassion that inspires him. His bold use ofcolor and strong compositional elementsconvey the intense beauty the artist sees inthe world around him. With a full range ofreal to surreal, soft to bold, concrete to abstract,Parise’s paintings invite the viewerto join his journey and awaken a desire topursue the beautiful with themselves.Work by Patrick PariseParise said, “An artist’s language issometimes sensual, sometimes bold,sometimes spiritual, always the result offelt experiences. My art comes from manydirections and life experiences, and themysteries behind them.”Parise’s personal journey as an artistbegan in his childhood. Born in Brooklyn,NY, he showed an aptitude for art from anearly age. In high school the young artistdeveloped his drawing, painting and compositionskills. He went on to study fineart at Bethany College in Salina, KS, andthen continued at the University of SouthCarolina in Columbia, where he becameinterested in printmaking. After finishinghis studio art courses at the University,Parise purchased a Charles Brandt EtchingPress and opened his own etching studiowhere he started making original prints.During this period, Parise had severalimportant commissions that would movehim towards a full-time career as anartist/printmaker. However, in an effortto broaden his artistic endeavors Parisebegan to paint, which remains his primaryfocus today.Parise’s path led him to a wide range ofsubject matter. One canvas may depict thesoftly curving lines of the coastal landscapeand the next might show a dynamicabstract composition. All of Parise’s workinvites the viewer to join in the adventureof life. “I start a story with each pieceI create,” Parise says, “but I allow theviewer to join me in finishing the storywith his or her own experiences and emotions.”For his part of the story Parise employsbold colors and reduces the scene toits most elemental and powerful components.Each painting vibrates with artisticenergy and color, entertaining the eye andthe mind. “I want to create paintings thatconvey the mystery and the journey,” theartist says, “but also the feeling of joy.”Numerous accomplishments includeParise’s selection, among internationalartists, as the monthly winner of “YourStudio Competition,” Saatchi Gallery,London, England. He was chosen to provide150 etchings depicting South Carolinascene for gifts to foreign dignitariespresented by the SC State DevelopmentBoard. Parise created seventy-one etchingsfor a twenty-five-room guesthouseat Houndslake Country Club in Aiken,SC. His work was selected to be awardedby the South Carolina Joint LegislativeCommittee on Cultural Affairs to fourteenSouth Carolina businesses recognized fortheir contributions to and support of thearts in South Carolina. Parise participationin the “Palmetto Tree Project” with theCultural Council of Richland and LexingtonCounties of South Carolina broughtthe second-highest purchase price atauction by Sotheby’s of Chicago, Illinois.Parise’s art has received acclaim on thelocal, regional, and national levels as wellas abroad, and his works are included inmuseum, corporate and private collections.Work by Patrick PariseCity Art Gallery is located in the historicCongaree Vista area in Columbia.For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call WendythWells at 803/252-3613 or visit(www.cityartonline.com).Vista Studios in Columbia, SC,Features Works by Kirkland SmithVista Studios in Columbia, SC, willpresent the exhibit, Re-Created, featuring3-D paintings created almost entirely frompost consumer waste items collected fromfriends and family members of Columbiaartist Kirkland Smith, on view in Gallery80808 from Oct. 6 -18, 2011.

As Idocument the landscape around me, I seekout patterns, rhythms, and chance encountersthat personalize the environment. Thisallows me to turn what is public into a privateexperience, to organize what is chaoticinto a satisfying design, and to create quiet,elegant narratives from the everyday experience.As such, the subjects of my photographsexist as small truths or clues thathave been left behind, waiting to be noticed,contemplated, interpreted, transformed, andreleased.”Bright lives and works in Greenville,SC, where she is Associate Professor ofArt, teaching photography and drawing atFurman University. She received her MFAfrom the University of Texas at Austin in1999.

Wingo’s exhibitA painter, sculptor, and art educator,Wingo taught in the Spartanburg DistrictSix public school system. He is currentlyteaching at Carver Junior High of SpartanburgSchool District Seven. Wingo hasalso taught at Claflin University, has beenan adjunct instructor for Converse College,South Carolina State University, and theUniversity of South Carolina Upstate.As a young teenager, Wingo found mentorsamong the science faculty at WoffordCollege and often walked along the railroadtracks from his home on Thompson Streetin Spartanburg to Wofford. The paintingsand sculptures in this exhibition mark asymbolic and visual return to the College.continued above on next column to the rightTable of ContentsWork by Lisa WalravenLisa Walraven has always been a passionateenvironmentalist. Her interestin bird and other animal portraits beganwhen she was banding birds and workingin wildlife rehabilitation. Having them inhand allowed her to see them as individuals,each one unique. Her subject matter isalmost always nature related, though latelya new style has emerged. Adding decorativeelements to the portraits in the form ofbranches that curl, swirls, floral designs,berries... have added a bit more whimsyto her pieces. Walraven wants her work toconvey a sense of joy, happiness, and mostof all, an appreciation for the natural worldaround us.When people see Cynthia Potter’s papiermaché puppets, they will experience thatinstant connection to their own childhood,reminiscing when they got to play withpapier maché in school. It’s like seeing anold friend. A variety of creatures painted inbright designs and sewn with fun fabrics,populate her studio, as well as masks andsculptures. The puppets and sculpturesreflect experimentation in color, texture,symbolism and the childhood visions thathave been lost or hidden behind adult rationalizations.Carlos Steward’s experiences in a federalprison camp for war tax resistance havehelped materialize the connection betweenintellect and art through ceramics. IntegratingTaoist philosophy he explores not whatyou can see; but what is not there. Thegreatest uses come from what is not there;like empty space in a blacksmith’s bellows,space between the spokes of a wheel orthe inside of a cup. A holey vase becomesas useless as wars perpetuated throughcorporate greed. Steward’s use of brightlycolored glazes, skeletal figures and animateddesigns invites viewers to consider thesetranscendent Taoist principles.For further information check our NC InstitutionalGallery listings, call the Studiosat 828/254-2166 or visit (www.philmechanicstudios.com).Carolina Arts, October 2011 - Page 29

Gift of TheJosef and Anni Albers Foundation. Asheville ArtMuseum Collection. 1997.01.04.65T.American artist Josef Albers, bestknown for his series Homage to the Square,influenced art-making of the 20th centuryby using the series to explore and manipulateviewers’ color and spatial perception.Historically most two-dimensional workhas been rectangular in format, but withAlbers’s series, art-making in the 20thcentury was dramatically changed. Albers’stheories and influence extended to his manystudents from Black Mountain College andYale University, and ultimately gave rise toOp (“optical”) art and Minimalism.Drawn from the Museum’s PermanentCollection, Homage2 examines artists whohave taken up the challenge of the squareand used color and space in unique ways.This exhibition features several of JosefAlbers’s former students, including RichardAnuszkiewicz, Albert Lanier and JackTworkov, as well as more contemporaryartists such as Sally Gall, Sol LeWitt, KennethNoland and Donald Sultan.

The art form was particularly popularin the Carolinas from the mid-19th century,when a group of artists called the CharlestonEtchers Club were creating silhouettesfor purposes from greeting cards to bookillustrations.Clay Rice credits his grandfather, CarewRice (called “America’s greatest silhouettist”by poet Carl Sandburg), with teachingand inspiring him in the paper-cuttingtradition. He began with simple barnyardanimals and then moved on to more detailedhuman figures. Over summer vacationsfrom school, he would make extra moneycutting profiles at the Pawleys Island HammockShop. Ultimately, Rice took to theroad to earn a living by his art, traveling tonearly all 50 states.Using a pair of four-and-a-half-inchsurgical scissors, Rice could eventually produceas many as 150 to 200 profiles a day,taking a mere 45 seconds per silhouette.Over time, however, his art has evolvedto complex, detailed landscapes that havebecome his signature, some requiring morethan 400 hours of work to create.For further info check our SC InstitutionalGallery listings, call 843/238-2510 orvisit (www.MyrtleBeachArtMuseum.org).Table of Contents Carolina Arts, October 2011 - Page 37

The pieces begin with Mike throwinga clay pot on the pottery wheel. Next,I alter the forms into something totallyunique and I delight in breathing a whimsicalbreath of life into each sculpture. Thenew works are awesome and they reallymake us laugh so we must be doing somethingright!”“These are the types of pieces we didbefore moving to South Carolina,” saidMike. “Patz was an artist when I first mether.

We both went toschool and began studies with Ceramicsinstructor Yosuka Haruta, in traditionalwheel throwing, slab method, and glazecalculation in the summer of 1979.”“We started selling our works and foundthat most of our buyers were in NY so wemoved there. On Long Island we lived ina log cabin with a basement studio andstarted working. I would throw a potteryvase or form and Patz would alter the clayinto a crazy animal sculpture. We werebusy filling gallery orders and selling at artfestivals and shows in the NYC area for tenyears,” said Mike.After revisiting their Michigan rootsfor a year, the couple found good marketsin Charlotte, NC, which brought them toHartsville, SC, in 1989.

Nowalmost everything is done by computer,”says Montgomery.Through the years Montgomery hascontinued to draw and paint as a hobby,but it was not until two and a half yearsago that she became serious about hercreative work.“I took drop-in classes at Coastal ArtSupply with Jennifer Kassing-Bradley,”says Montgomery, adding, “She introducedme to watercolor methods and qualitysupplies. These lessons encouraged thedevelopment of a true passion for paintingin me. There is so much to learn aboutwatercolors. Watercolor pigments can begranulating or non-granulating, transparentor opaque, and the way each colorreacts to another is different. The possibilitiesare endless.

He was awarded a M.Sc.Photography degree in 1972.“At the Institute of Design, I learned themedium’s multiple languages under thetutelage of Aaron Siskind, Arthur Siegel,Garry Winogrand, Joe Jachna, Ken Josephsonand Charles Swedlund. Since that time,the possibilities of what a photograph canaddress and what it can mean have profoundlychanged,” said Cohen. “For the lasttwo decades my pictures have addressed theshared issues reflective of cold war history,cultural meanings, and personal belief.”“Since 1991, I have traveled to placesanchored to events - some repulsive andsome illuminating - in 55 countries and 43US states that symbolize the sinuous life ofworld history.”Concentrating on places where the fragmentaryphysical remnants of historical andnatural events are still visible - like vestigesof the Berlin Wall, remains of Holocaustsites, boundary lines, meteor impact craters,ruins of fortresses, abandoned colonialbuildings - Cohen has documented “theearth of our past as a record of memory, notas an act of witness.” Earth with Meaningpresents a major retrospective of Cohen’sstarkly moving work, filling both of theAdam Cave Fine Art in Raleigh, NC, willpresent the exhibit, New Terrain, featuringoils on aluminum and canvas by DavidDunlop and Cathryn Miles, on view fromOct. 6 - 31, 2011.

The images recordthe distance between what we rememberabout charged places and what we can stillobserve in them today. The photographsoffer a space for reflection on the complexgravity and legacy of the very ground inwhich history is rooted.”Married to Susan Walsh, Cohen lives inChicago, IL, and is an Adjunct Full Professorin the Art History, Theory, CriticismDepartment at the School of the Art Instituteof Chicago and a member of the visitingfaculty at Columbia College Chicago’sDepartment Of Photography.The Equator at Mitad del Mundo, Ecuador, 1999,by Alan CohenThis project was supported by the NCArts Council, a division of the Departmentof Cultural Resources.

They are vessels forthe life force which inhabits all living beings.Anderson’s exhibition is also informedby Eastern philosophy and Asian art. In thisbody of work, acrylic paint and graphite areapplied to synthetic paper (Yupo).Shades of black and gray are made byrubbing a stick of graphite on the paperwith woodblock and linocut printing platesunderneath. The surface is then permanentlysealed by brushing acrylic varnish over thegraphite, creating a patina.

Weller, curator of Northern EuropeanArt at the North Carolina Museumof Art.The history of Rembrandt collectingin the United States began in the late 19thcentury, when wealthy American Industrialistscultivated a passion for collectingEuropean Old Masters, especially Dutch.America’s greatest Industrialists, such asJ. Paul Getty, Andrew Mellon and GeorgeEastman, desired these works of art astrophies for their collections, and so acollecting frenzy erupted and paintingsby Rembrandt left Europe in substantialnumbers for America.In this highly competitive and lucrativemarket many of the pictures that came toAmerica were misattributed to Rembrandtby scholars and art dealers. In manyrespects, America became the provingground for new Rembrandt discoveriesand reattributions.Rembrandt in America includes workssuch as the recently-cleaned, matchingportraits of the Rev. Johannes Elison andhis wife, Maria Bockenolle, from theMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston. Painted in1634 during Rembrandt’s early years as asuccessful portrait painter in Amsterdam,they are the only full-length portraits byRembrandt residing in the United States.Other highlights of the exhibitioninclude Rembrandt’s moving depiction ofcontinued above on next column to the rightthe Roman heroine, Lucretia (1666), fromthe collection of the Minneapolis Instituteof Arts; Joris de Cauerii (1632), a portraitof a gentleman, which displays Rembrandt’smasterful handling of light andtexture from the Fine Arts Museums ofSan Francisco; and Young Man in a BlackBeret (1666), from the Nelson-AtkinsMuseum of Art in Kansas City, a superbexample of the artist’s expressive style.By highlighting a number of worksmisattributed to Rembrandt, as well as ahandful of paintings for which scholarlyopinion has wavered over the years, thisexhibition empowers viewers to developtheir own skills in connoisseurship. Furthermore,Rembrandt in America occursat a time when a heightened scrutiny ofRembrandt authenticity continues to impactthe discipline and significantly affectthe art market.“Rembrandt collecting has alwaysbeen a challenging field and questions ofauthenticity have plagued Rembrandtsfor centuries, even during the artist’s ownlifetime,” said Jon L. Seydl, the PaulJ. and Edith Ingalls Vignos, Jr. Curatorof European Paintings and Sculpture(1500-1800) at the Cleveland Museumof Art. “American audiences will nowenjoy not only the opportunity to surroundthemselves with so many of Rembrandt’sworks but also the chance to explore whysome works attributed to him have beenreconsidered.”Each venue will display 15 to 20 otherDutch paintings that were previouslyattributed to Rembrandt at some point duringtheir history in American collections,but have since been ascribed to his pupilsand contemporaries. These include paintingsby Jan Lievens and Govaert Flinck,among others.In the exhibition, The Feast of Esther(circa 1625) and Young Man with a Sword(c. 1633-1645) from the North CarolinaMuseum of Art are two such paintingsformerly attributed to Rembrandt that arenow assigned to other artists. In the 1950sthe North Carolina Museum of Art’s firstdirector and Rembrandt expert WilliamValentiner recommended the acquisitionof both paintings as Rembrandts. Valentinerwas responsible for greatly expandingthe Rembrandt oeuvre. For much of thelast fifty years, many of his attributionshave been questioned by other scholars,notably the Rembrandt Research Project.The Feast of Esther is now assignedto the hand of Jan Lievens, Rembrandt’syounger colleague. The painting sharesmany similarities with other examplesfrom Lievens’ oeuvre and has a grandeurof invention and boldness that Rembrandtdid not achieve. Young Man with a Swordhas since been identified as a product ofthe Rembrandt School. The imagery andstylistic elements, such as the weaknessin the structure of the shoulders and face,indicate that the work is not by Rembrandthimself, while the dramatic chiaroscuroand romantic costume point to a competentpainter well versed in Rembrandt’sartistic interests.One of the most important painters inthe history of European art, RembrandtTable of Contentsvan Rijn (1606-1669) is renowned forhis uncanny ability to depict light andshadow, to capture the emotions of his sittersand to intimately share historical andreligious stories. He was born in 1606 inLeiden, in the Dutch Republic, now TheNetherlands, and spent most of his careerin Amsterdam.While the primary focus of the exhibitionis on the history of Rembrandt collectingand connoisseurship as it relates tohis works residing in America, the showalso explores his work across variousgenres, his artistic evolution, and his influenceon other artists of the day. Includedin this exhibition are a number of importantportraits from Rembrandt’s prosperousearly career in Amsterdam as thecity’s most sought-after portrait painter,as well as character studies, historical andbiblical scenes, and three of his celebratedself-portraits.“Rembrandt’s development as apainter, from brash young artist toconfident master to resolute observer oftimeless humanity, is well documented inthis exhibition with works spanning nearlythe full extent of his remarkable career,”said Thomas E. Rassieur, curator of printsand drawings at the Minneapolis Instituteof Arts.Rembrandt in America is accompaniedby a 240-page catalog authored by DennisP. Weller, Thomas E. Rassieur and GeorgeKeyes, former chief curator at the DetroitInstitute of Arts. An introduction focusingon Rembrandt as a cultural phenomenonis followed by essays devoted to his life,the controversies associated with hisworkshop, and the pursuit of Rembrandtin America. Published by Skira Rizzoli,the catalog contains 150 color illustrationsand is available in hardback and paperback.After its run in Raleigh, the exhibitwill travel to the Cleveland Museum ofArt where it will be on view from Feb.19 through May 28, 2012, and then theMinneapolis Institute of Arts from June 24through Sept. 16, 2012.Tickets for this special exhibition are:$18 Adults, $15 Seniors, Students 13+,groups of 10 or more, $12 Children 7-12,and free for children 6 and under.

Cage taught at BMC inthe summers of 1948 and 1952 and was inresidence the summer of 1953.John Cage, Stone 15 - Brush 17 - Position H.64,V.? Study Sheet, ca. 1988, watercolor on paper,Collection of Ray KassThis exhibition explores multipleaspects of Cage’s work from his importanttime at Black Mountain College tohis later collaborative projects includingthe Mountain Lake Workshop in Virginiaand Crown Point Press and includes someof the unusual materials he used in hiswork like stones, feathers and a very largecustom-made brush along with the oversizedtrough that held paint.John Cage (1912-1992) was a man ofmany interests: music, mushrooms, ZenBuddhism and Eastern Philosophy, visualart and dance. He pioneered the practiceof “preparing” the piano by inserting objectsinto the strings, thereby altering thesound of the instrument in radical ways.He worked collaboratively for many yearswith choreographer/dancer Merce Cunninghamand with fellow musician DavidTudor (both of whom were also at BlackMountain College). Cage’s most famous(and infamous) composition is 4’33”,first performed by David Tudor in Augustof 1952. The piece lasts for precisely 4minutes and 33 seconds during whichtime the pianist sits at the piano, consultsa stopwatch and turns the pages of a score,but never strikes a note on the piano. Thiscourageously conceptual work confusedand outraged audiences and establishedCage as an iconoclast and radical thinker.While at Black Mountain College in 1952,he staged the first “Happening” in theUnited States, a multi-layered performativeevent that changed modern theatercompletely.Cage’s influence in multiple fieldsis a reason for his enduring legacy andcontemporary relevance. As a musician,composer, philosopher and visual artistCage’s work continues to inspire others.ReVIEWING Black Mountain College3 will celebrate this enormously far-reachinginfluence through a mix of performancesand presentations that address themany aspects of this visionary artist andthinker.The keynote address will be given onSaturday, Oct. 8, 2011, from 5-6pm byLaura Kuhn, the Executive Director ofcontinued on Page 46Carolina Arts, October 2011 - Page 45

Several installmentslooked more like a survey of college anduniversity art professors. Many of the artistsincluded over the run of the Triennials areno longer working in SC and some spentvery little time here to begin with. Theprocess had many problems.I’m not saying the exhibits were notinteresting or that the artists selected werenot talented - but in my opinion they justseem to promote that it doesn’t matter howtalented you are in SC - it’s more about howwell connected you are that counts and whatmedium you work in.I for one was happy to see them die off.Now the 701 Center for ContemporaryArt in Columbia, SC, is presenting theinaugural 701 CCA South Carolina Biennial2011, as a show which will presentthe “most exciting contemporary art in thestate”. That’s a big goal.The organizers explained that the processused in making their selections for thisfirst show was based on three things: as anexperiment, because of limited resources,and time restraints, which implies that theywould not have done things exactly the waythey were done - which I’m hoping is true- as I see this new Biennial as just anotherexample of a survey of well connected artists.How “exciting” their works are will beleft up to viewers - and critics.of trial, error, experiment and the occasionalsuccess. She says, “Printmaking hasnot been a career, but a thread through mylife; thinner or more dense, depending oncircumstances.”For further information check ourNC Institutional Gallery listings, call theCenter at 828/255-0066 or visit (www.philmechanicstudios.com).The artists in the exhibit whose work Iknow are all talented, so the exhibit shouldbe good. The real question is - what do theseexhibits do? How do they serve our state?I have one suggestion for the organizers.Let your Invitational Committee memberssuggest artist’s names who they would liketo be considered, but find curators welloutside the realm of SC’s connections orinfluence who will make the final selections.In this first “experiment” we have toomany selections with very close ties to thepeople selecting them. It just looks bad toall who were not so lucky to have such goodconnections.We’ll see what the “critics” say, unfortunatelythey’re the same people who were reviewingthe Triennials. I can almost predictwhat they will say as most are connected tothe folks organizing the exhibit.I’m not sure if or how much the SC ArtsCommission is involved in this exhibit,but if they do have a major hand in it - thatchanges things. But, if they are not involvedin any way, then the 701 Center for ContemporaryArt can do what ever they want- anyway they want. That’s the difference.I myself prefer the juried exhibition thatthe SC State Museum in Columbia, SC, dida few years back that attracted over 1000works of art by 500 of SC’s artists. It had itsproblems too, but I think the results showedas close a survey of what’s being done inSC as you can get. I guess it just wasn’t asexciting as some people prefer. Or, maybe itwas too fair.Go see this exhibit and see what youthink - I hope to. You can read about it onPage 25.SC Institutional GalleriesAllendaleSalkehatchie Arts Center, 939 N. Main St.,Allendale.
