INTERESTING CONVERSATION VIA ART AS THE MEDIUM:PAT PHILLIPS: SUBSUPERIOR Exhibition Dates: FEB 15 – MAR 31, 2019 Pat Phillips


PAT PHILLIPS: SUBSUPERIOR
 Exhibition Dates: FEB 15 – MAR 31, 2019

Opening Reception: 
FRI. FEB. 15TH, 2019 | 6-9PM

 
PAT PHILLIPS: SUBSUPERIOR
 Exhibition Dates: FEB 15 – MAR 31, 2019 Catinca Tabacaru Galler proud to present Pat Phillips's first New York solo exhibition, SubSuperior, opening on February 15, 2019 at 6pm in the evening at the Gallery's New York space at 250 Broome Street between Orchard and Ludlow Streets.  This is the artist's first show with the gallery.

 
"I grew up in a middle class suburb among four other black families. Relatively blue collar, many of our parents worked in the few local industries in and around town. Out of the folks who looked like myself, we had a bus driver, janitor, factory worker, a Baptist preacher/lawyer, and my dad... a Corrections Officer at the local prison.
                   
SubSuperior is a narrative exploring my own life, as well as the experiences of others stuck between racial and social classes. In an era that conveys progress, but only demonstrates marginal economic advancement, the struggles of the nuclear black family can create an illusion that things are better for everyone. Between 
the, "Y’all made it, so can everyone else" and the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality that is whole-heartedly regurgitated within the working middle class, many can simply overlook the systems that help maintain the standard and substandard of living.
                   
Bounded by historical empathy and adversity, one must constantly reexamine his or her position within the Subsuperior. With limited opportunities, this can be the difference between being a sufferer within the system or those enlisted to uphold its practices."
- Pat Phillips, 2019

LISA SETTE GALLERY THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION Opening Saturday, May 11th from 7pm - 9pm




AT THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION

OPENING RECEPTION: 
Saturday, May 11th, 2019 from 7pm - 9pm 

Brian James Culbertson at Lisa Sette Gallery
AT THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION

Opening
Saturday, May 11th from 7pm - 9pm

The full realm of the human psyche exists beyond the technological shackles and mundane logistics so pervasive in the early 21st century.  The artists of “At the Doors of Perception”, a group exhibition at Lisa Sette Gallery opening May 11, 2019, employ various mediums to present artworks as potential methods to escape the confines of the conforming ego and self-conscious brain, and access radical aesthetic and psychic transformation in worlds beyond the sublunary.
Brian James Culbertson creates portraits of subjects under the influence of psychotropic drugs; Culbertson’s startling photographic prints themselves are developed in a wash of these chemicals: “The incorporation of medication used to alter the chemistry of the mind into my salted paper print process yields unpredictable results from print to print - just as it does with our own bodies.”

Binh Danh at Lisa Sette Gallery
In sculptural form, Julianne Swartz’s contribution to “At the Doors of Perception” presents a demure first impression. Her sculpture, Lull, consists of a precise and neatly-executed wooden box. When the gallery-goer ventures to open its top, a mysterious and strangely familiar soundtrack emits from the darkness within. The artist has remarked “I am interested in the intersection of the physical and non-physical, and making what is not physical somehow palpable.” The non-physical in Swartz’s work is as varied as the physical facts of the universe—light, memory, sound, kinetics, the passing of time and a sense of place.
Works by James Turrell document his ongoing celestial and earthworks project at theRoden Crater site. In “At the Doors of Perception,” Turrell’s aerial view of the project site is executed on mylar, and overlaid with the artist’s architectural markings. Turrell’s project embodies the artist’s power to break free from the confines of conventionally-received time and space, and think in terms of of the galaxies and millenia contained in the human psyche.

Gilbert Garcin at Lisa Sette Gallery
Philip Augustin’s stark, revelatory bichromatic images originate from photographic processes, but serve as vessels, in which each viewer may find both problem and resolution. Elizabeth Stone creates assemblages of discarded 35 mm slides and large-format film produce dream-state horizons and unknown landscapes, radical alloys of light and dark that generate immersive sculptural photographs. “I consider both the ‘negatives’ and ‘positives’ … Structures become apparent reminiscent of the buildings from my dreams as I wander from room to room. Landforms also emerge from the edges and I think about how we define the landscape. The transition zones transfix me.”
The team of Kahn/Selesnick and the French photographer Gilbert Garcin both start from the construction of fantastic aesthetic realms and alternate mythologies. Then, in their distinct ways, the artists tenderly insert human subjects to these strange new worlds. In this manner, human perceptions are tested against the hypotheses of different chronological and physical schema. Human experience on earth is both echoed and distorted in these charming and troubling photographs; we sense the possibility of countless previously unconsidered dimensions within our own worldly experience.

“At the Doors of Perception” will include works by Philip Augustin, Brian James Culbertson, Binh Danh, Gilbert Garcin, Máximo González, Carrie Marill, Marie Navarre, Luis González Palma, Fiona Pardington, Hunt Rettig, Gregory Scott, Kahn/Selesnick, Doug and Mike Starn, Elizabeth Stone, Julianne Swartz, and James Turrell.

Gechtoff moved from San Francisco to New York in 1958. While her paintings remained pure abstractions, several aesthetic and formal aspects of her work also changed with the geographical shift. In particular, her interest in earth elements, landscape and architecture became more prevalent in her work with representational elements incorporated in her abstract compositions. Gechtoff’s paintings remained gestural, full of bold, confident strokes, full of color and commanding ones full attention in any space. Fire, smoke, wind and waves became her focus in several paintings, others strongly referenced celestial bodies, the moon, sun and stars, while other compositional elements were evocative of mountains, trees and skies. Suggestions of columns, arcs and portals became framing devices as well as part of the composition. In her later years, Gechtoff moved from oil to acrylic paint. She traded in her palette knife for graphite to emphasize and maintain strong gestures, shadows and aesthetic emphasis.

Gechtoff never stopped painting, creating or re-inventing herself. She was a true artist in every sense of the word – committed and passionate about her work, her process and her career.

About Sonia Gechtoff (1926-2018):

Sonia Gechtoff, was born and raised in Philadelphia. After graduating in 1950 from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, she moved to San Francisco in 1951 where she was greatly influenced by the painting of Clyfford Still. She taught at the California School of Fine Art working alongside Hassel Smith and Elmer Bischoff and associated with other Bay Area Abstract Expressionist painters such as Madeleine Diamond, Lilly Fenichel, Deborah Remington, Jay DeFeo and James Kelly, who she later married. San Francisco had a tremendous impact on Gechtoff, she was very much involved in the unique cultural scene and felt the local support. It is where she had her greatest career achievements, such as developing her bold use of the palette knife to create long, sharp strokes of pigment across the canvas and the corresponding early recognition with solo exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art (currently SFMoMA) and De Young Museum. Gechtoff moved to New York in 1958 and worked there until she passed away in early 2018. Given her interests in figuration, architecture, landscape and earth elements, representational elements became more prevalent in her paintings and drawings, while abstraction and gestural brush strokes remained constant. She switched from oil to acrylic paint and traded the palette knife for graphite to maintain strong defining strokes and boundaries in her work. 

Gechtoff’s artworks are included in the permanent collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Achenbach Foundation, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco; Denver Art Museum, Colorado; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Academy of Design, New York; Oakland Museum of Art, California; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California; Museum of Art, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California; and Worcester Museum of Art, Massachusetts, among others. Most recently, her paintings were included in the very important exhibition, Women of Abstract Expressionism at the Denver Museum of Art in 2016 that subsequently traveled to the Mint Museum and the Palm Springs Museum of Art in 2017.

The Corning Museum of Glass Will Release a Sequel to Poplar Digital Publication on Venetian Glassworking Techniques by William Gudenrath

The Corning Museum of Glass Will Release a Sequel to Poplar Digital Publication on Venetian Glassworking Techniques by William Gudenrath

Join the Live Launch Party At 9 a.m. EST on February 4 at CMoG.org 

CORNING, NY, February 1, 2019 —
The Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG) will host a live launch party to celebrate its new digital publication, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian-Style Glassworking, by artist and scholar William Gudenrath. The sequel to the popular title The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking(2016), this scholarly electronic resource presents complete video reconstructions of the historical glassworking process.
No matter where you are in the world, join Gudenrath for a live launch party at 9 a.m. EST on Monday, February 4 at CMoG.org. The author will release an exclusive introduction video, which will be followed by the airing of all videos created for The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian-Style Glassworking, and respond live to questions and comments from viewers.

While Gudenrath’s first publication detailed the golden age of Venetian glassworking, the sequel publication follows the Venetian maestros as they fled isolation and restrictive conditions in the lagoon to set up workshops in a variety of locations across Europe—taking their masterful skills and technical prowess with them.
“The story of the spread of Venetian-style glassworking during the Renaissance is a narrative of intellectual-property loss and of bold entrepreneurship,” says Gudenrath in the publication’s introduction. “This electronic resource focuses on the idiosyncratic techniques developed by these Venetian craftsmen, newly untethered from their homeland, and explores their artistic creativity and technical innovation.”

Using detailed 360° photography, high-definition video, text and related images, Gudenrath sheds new light on 20 Venetian-style glass objects, many from The Corning Museum of Glass collection.

Access the full free publication starting February 4 at RenVenetianStyle.cmog.org.

ABOUT WILLIAM GUDENRATH 


William Gudenrath is a glassblower, scholar, author, lecturer, and teacher. He is recognized internationally as one of the foremost authorities on glassmaking techniques of the ancient world through the 18th century. He has spent many decades studying 
specific works in glass in an attempt to determine how they were made. As such, he was monikered the “glass detective” by the Associated Press after the release of his first electronic resource, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking, in 2016. 

Although much of Gudenrath’s life has been dedicated to the material he fell in love with at the age of 11 upon being introduced to glass through a chemistry set, Gudenrath took a detour in 1974 to earn a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas and in 1978 to earn his Master of Music degree from the Julliard School. He, along with his wife Amy Schwartz, moved to Corning in 1995 to design, build, program, and lead The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass, where Gudenrath continues to serve as the resident advisor.

In addition to his numerous contributions in print and video on many aspects of glass history, Gudenrath is co-chairman, with Lino Tagliapietra, of the technical committee of Venetian Glass Study Days at the Istituo Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arit, in Venice, and serves on the International Advisory Committee UrbanGlass in Brooklyn, NY. His works are sold in the Museum Shops, as well as other exclusive stores and galleries nationwide.

On Seeing, A Journal. #287 January 22nd, 2019 Bioethicist, Peter Singer

On Seeing, A Journal. #287

January 22nd, 2019

Bioethicist, Peter Singer

Since ethics is much in the news these days, both its presence and its absence, the time seemed right, for my Above and Beyond project, to invite to the studio for portraits and an interview one of the most renowned ethicists of our time. Peter Singer is a 72-year-old Australian-born professor, philosopher, and author whose 1975 book, “Animal Liberation: A New Ethics for our Treatment of Animals,” is the “Silent Spring” of animal rights.

He is a central figure in the increasingly important field of bioethics, and teaches at the University of Melbourne and Princeton University
Time magazine has named Singer among the 100 most influential people in the world.  In 2012 the Australian Government made him a Companion of the Order of Australia, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Singer is a co-founder of Animals Australia and the founder of The Life You Can Save. He has written 29 books and more scholarly articles than I care to count.
