Catch the Foley Gallery for summer fun

Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom       Love at First Sight.    2007, a one-night-only group exhibition at some upper floor architectural firm in DUMBO.  Thomas Allen was asked to be in the group show.  Having had the gallery for less than 3 years, I was excited to attend.  It was a quick visit...Tom wasn't there and I had a series of events that night.  And then I saw it, perched above some books on a long wall.   1000 Flowers Bloomed & A Black Leather Jacket.   55 inches high, 98 in length.  Cut paper is a personal passion and this was just exquisite.  But who was Casey Ruble?  No one seemed to know.  Frustrated, I left for the subway platform, but not before I saw this group of people outside, having cigarettes, talking art, leathered up...Casey among them.   Do You Wanna Do a Show Together?   Conversation, studio visit, conversation.  This all led to our first exhibition together, Except in Struggle.  For whatever reason, the piece I loved in DUMBO was not in our show.  But we sold it.  Twice.  It lives in Maryland now, quite content.   Present Tense   I am on my fourth exhibition with Casey.  The current, Red Summer, is up until June 23rd.  This group of 47 paintings was completed as part of a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship.  Which brings me to why I love Casey.  It's the time I know she takes to work with the details, both in content and craft.  And she is just so lovely to work with!  And did I mention...there is a "limited to 100 copies" catalog to the exhibition with brilliant essays by Casey and Arlene Keizer available here?  Well, there is.   What Happened in 1919?!?   The exhibition looks at the bloody year of 1919 on its centennial anniversary.  1919 marked the deadliest period of white-on-black violence in U.S. history, with over thirty race riots — most started by white mobs — breaking out across the nation. The bloodshed led civil-rights activist James Weldon Johnson to dub the period the “Red Summer.”     Smithsonian Connection     1919 was also when the Smithsonian Institution began planning its National Portrait Gallery, whose mission has been to “acquire and display portraits of men and women who have made significant contributions to the history, development, and culture of the people of the United States.” Yet all of the subjects in the museum’s works from 1919 are white, and the few with any connection to the racial tensions of the time came down on the wrong side of that history.   Who is Casey? Casey Ruble received her BA from Smith College in 1995 and her MFA from Hunter College in 2002. She is an Artist in Residence at Fordham University, where she teaches painting and drawing and curates exhibitions for the university galleries. Her work has been shown nationally and abroad, and she has been the recipient of grants and fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts (2019, 2013), the Warhol Foundation through a residency at PARSEnola (2017), the Smithsonian Institution (2016), and the New Jersey State Council for the Humanities (2015). She resides in New Jersey in a village overlooking the Delaware River.   The Details   Open this weekend!   Red Summer is on view through June 23rd, 2019. Foley Gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 – 5:30pm and Sunday from 12-5pm. To request images; please contact the gallery at info@foleygallery.com.   Walter Hampden (I), 12 x 12 inches, carbon ink on paper - Michael's favorite   #fineartmagazine

Morgan Lehman Gallery , Woven Walls June 6-July 19th

Woven Walls Paolo Arao Carly Glovinski Crystal Gregory Elana Herzog Tamara Kostianovsky June 6 - July 19 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 6, 6 - 8 pm Carly Glovinski, Day Off (detail), laser cut paper, 96 x 40 inches, 2018 Morgan Lehman is very pleased to present Woven Walls, a summer group exhibition featuring five artists whose unique practices mine the historical, material, and imagistic possibilities of textiles. The artworks on display occupy a range of formats including painting, sculpture, and installation, and utilize notions of the textile as both a source of inspiration and a generative tool for expanding the vocabulary of contemporary art. Here, dyed fabric is deployed like paint and becomes a means to channel color; patterns provide a framework for abstract compositional strategies; discarded garments become the building blocks of three-dimensional structures; weaving serves as a process of construction and material transformation; and the sociopolitical weight of the textile tradition initiates a conversation about human labor, sexual politics, and freedom. Paolo Arao received his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Solo exhibitions include Western Exhibitions (Chicago, IL); Franklin Artworks (Minneapolis, MN); Jeff Bailey Gallery (NYC); and Barney Savage Gallery (NYC). Residencies include Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, The Studios at MASS MoCA, Millay Colony, Vermont Studio Center, NARS Foundation, LES Printshop Keyholder Residency,  Wassaic Artist Residency, BRIC Workspace Residency and the Fire Island Artist Residency. Arao is a recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Drawing and his work has been featured in New American Paintings, Maake Magazine and Esopus. The artist has a forthcoming solo exhibition at Bridge Productions in Seattle. Carly Glovinski received her BFA from Boston University. She has been awarded residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA, Teton ArtLab, and the Vermont Studio Center. Recent solo exhibitions include Morgan Lehman Gallery (NYC); Colby Museum of Art (Waterville, ME); and IMoCA (Indianapolis, IN). Group exhibitions include the deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park (Lincoln, MA); Center for Maine Contemporary Art; Boston Center for the Arts; Portland Museum of Art (Portland, ME); Museum of Contemporary Art (Jacksonville, FL); Utah Museum of Contemporary Art; and Visual Arts Center of New Jersey.

My Memories of Oleg Cassini sparked by the Doyle Auctions of his estate June 27th .

I was twenty-nine when I met Oleg Cassini covering a fashion event at Rothman's Restraunt in East Norwich for our "SunStorm Arts" monthly journal.  I knew Cassini lived near my parents in OysterBay Cove on Say Hill Rd. yet this was the first time we met. He was older, elegant and loved women. He focused his attention on me and I was flattered. I had the moment to ask him did he remember my mother in law Helen Dunn, the designer. He was surprised, and answered, yes very well. He always loved her work. Asking what she was doing he continued to show interest in Helen's life his warmth as a person shown through. I explained Helen still designed but did not have a  design house as she once had when they knew one another. When my then husband Victor Forbes retrieved me from the event and he also chatted briefly with Oleg.

Thanks, Vic for forwarding me this release. It brought back great memories. Jamie

Need Works conserved? Check out the Cinservation Center

MAY AT THE CENTER Here at The Conservation Center, we are always excited to have the opportunity to work on pieces with fascinating provenance. Recently we have had the distinct pleasure of treating several such pieces. In this month's newsletter, we will share the story of visually memorializing Albert Einstein, and discuss the treatment of a treasured family violin. We will also share the treatment story of a model Japanese temple-- a project that required the dedication of several different departments at The Center to ensure the piece's wellbeing for years to come.   Conserving Einstein Ephemera Einstein's book and photograph required a creative design solution from our Framing & Display Department, with custom acrylic work to create the illusion of anti-gravity.  READ MORE Family Heirlooms: Restoring a Violin   Our multi-talented furniture conservators treat a treasured violin. With the bow, case, and violin all in a serious state of disrepair, our Furniture and Objects Department was able to fully restore the 1/4 size student instrument.   READ MORE Reconstructing a Japanese Temple   Some projects take the whole team-- the story of an in-depth treatment from conservation to shipping.  READ MORE Our shipping team created custom packaging to keep the newly conserved temple safe during storage and transit. Thanks to their time and consideration, the work arrived in pieces but left as precious cargo. 312 944 5401 Info@theconservatationcenter.com g address is: The Conservation Center 400 North Wolcott, Chicago, IL 60622
