Contemplando
by Carolina Rodriguez Baptista
Opening Reception, Thursday June 27, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
The discovery of bronze led to tools, weapons and armor.
Lead by the forces of her medium, Carolina Rodriguez Baptista follows the motion
and hardiness of the material directed by her own sense of self, femininity and strength. Baptista works through the harshness of the bronze to unearth feminine curves, tenacity and moments of self-satisfaction creating figures of action, gentleness and contemplation in her solo debut at Porter Contemporary.
Exhibition through July 27.

Breath of Salt Air – Violet and Lavender – June 25, 2013
Breath of Salt Air – Violet and Lavender – June 25, 2013
Casey Chalem Anderson “Lupine Field” Peconic Land Trust Conserved Property 30 x 60 oil on canvas
I adore all the many flowers that come in shades of lavender. There are wisteria, lilacs, lobelia, irises, lupines and of course lavender itself. We have examples of all those here in the Hamptons and it always thrills me to see them in masses.
But I see lavender everywhere and use it in almost every painting. For me a stroke of lavender paint creates the sensation of space. Depending on the mixture, violet has the optical effect of intensifying or subduing the other colors. Lavender/violet paint stimulates the eyes sensitivity to brightness and makes the humid lemon light out by the sea vibrate. That creates atmosphere. My paint box is loaded with precious tubes of violet waiting to be mixed to the correct shade and vibrancy to create the sensation of breathable air right into the painting.
See if you notice a flash of lavender/violet in the landscape as you cruise through your day.
Until next time,
Casey

"Among the most visually striking works in 'As Subject and Object' are a series of studies for and finished pages from 'Hanukkah Illuminated: A Book of Days' by California-born, Long Island-based Ellen Frank and her studio, Ellen Frank Illumination Arts. Using micrography to create recognizable figures and gold leaf to suggest hand-painted manuscripts, Frank presents finely rendered elements -- birds, soldiers on horseback, architectural elements, a cosmographic rendering -- to illuminate the story of the Israelites' victory over the Seleucid Empire and the miracle of the lamp oil."

The Artists Space
Pride Goes Before a Fall Beware of a Holy Whore an exhibition in two acts June 30 – August 25, 2013
Opening: Saturday, June 29, 6 - 8pm
Performance: No Bra
Then there’s the story of Wee Willy, the gangster.
Goofy wants to be a children’s nurse so he borrows some clothes from his Aunt Anna, a red-and-white checked calico dress and a big hat. And he tries his luck as a kindergarten teacher, not very successfully though, because the kids all say they’ve never seen such a queer old doll. Goofy gets beaten up by the kids and flings his gear in the trashcan.
At that moment, an escaped convict comes by, Wee Willy, the gangster. He’s no bigger than a 3-year-old girl. He finds Goofy’s gear in the trashcan and puts it on.
On his way home, Goofy bumps into Wee Willy wearing Aunt Anna’s dress. “Poor little homeless mite,” Goofy thinks and takes the little girl home. He dishes up pheasant and partridges and a whole goose, and Wee Willy stuffs himself full. Goofy’s pretty surprised at the little girl’s appetite. But he’s mighty pleased, too and thumps his fists on the table. Wee Willy behaves terribly, but at last Goofy finds joy looking after a child.
During the night the house is surrounded by gangsters. No, not by gangsters, by police. They storm the house and find Wee Willy. They recognize him, despite the gear he’s wearing. Goofy’s amazed and asks what they want of a poor little girl. “This is terrible! What has she done? Poor little orphan!” The police inform him that it’s Wee Willy, a wanted criminal. And as the police carry Willy out, explosive as a hand grenade, Goofy says: “Must have been a shock for the poor little girl to find out she’s a crook.”
– Opening monologue in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Beware of a Holy Whore, 1971, spoken by Werner Schroeter
