WASHINGTON – The United States Mint and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) will present a webinar on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. ET to assist interested artists in applying to the Artistic Infusion Program (AIP). The webinar will be hosted and archived on the NEA website, arts.gov. Representatives from the Mint and the NEA will be part of the webinar.

Established in 2003, the AIP serves to enrich and invigorate the nation’s coins and medals by commissioning designs from a select pool of outstanding artists. The Mint is especially interested in artists who will bring innovative perspectives and utilize symbolism in their work to clearly and evocatively convey subjects and themes on a small space.

The webinar will start with a presentation covering the basics of the AIP including how artists participate in the program as well as the eligibility requirements, application process, and other program details. The presentation will be followed by an open question and answer session. AIP guidelines and application materials are on the NEA website.

Applications to AIP are due on January 10, 2014.

How to Join the Webinar

Please register in advance. You may listen using your computer's speakers or dial-in to 1-877-685-5350 and use participant code: 739587. Attendees will be muted but able to type in questions and comments through a Q&A text box.

In Case You Can't Attend

An archive of the webinar will be available on the NEA's website shortly after the event.

Follow the conversation on Twitter at #AIParts.

"Circumstance: American Beauty Down on Bruised Knees"

Formento + Formento's groundbreaking photographic work "Circumstance: American Beauty Down on Bruised Knees" Presented by TrafficNYC and Vincent Vallarino Fine Art Gallery at Art Miami

New York, NY (November 20, 2013) Vincent Vallarino Fine Art and TrafficNYC, two New York based galleries, have partnered to present the dynamic husband/wife teamFormento + Formento at Art Miami from December 3rd- 8th. Formento + Formento's most noted photographic series, "Circumstance: American Beauty on Bruised Knees", will be displayed at Art Miami - Booth B19 (The Art Miami Pavilion Wynwood Arts District 3101 NE 1st Avenue, Miami, Fl.).  The series, which was created on their 2009 epic journey across America, captures a decaying American landscape with staged juxtapositions of iconic, awe-inspiring real American beauties. The characters, both vulnerable and powerful, represent the backbone of American culture that have been abandoned and left behind. The images exude an ethereal sensuality along with a cinematic narrative, creating ambiguous scenes reminiscent of David Lynch's films and Edward Hooper's powerful Ashcan themes of the solitary figure, the melancholy of dusk, and the lonely road. In 2009 the United States was suffering from the subprime crisis. BJ and Richielle Formento packed their home and three Siamese cats into a 27-foot silver Airstream trailer and set out on a cross-country photographic odyssey. The trip led the couple through 25 states as they delved into the real life stories of women in the pits of despair. Operating on a shoestring budget, they found their subjects and models as they traveled, from local newspaper ads to local diners. "So much of the 'producing' America is now defunct," says BJ Formento, "back roads lead us to ghost towns and forgotten strip malls, to abandoned churches and motels, to rotting steel mills and theaters, prisons, airports and train stations. Luckily we found women in these towns to play our heroines. It was an amazing journey." These images attest to just how much the world around us can mirror the world inside. The Formentos' abandoned buildings, as much a protagonist here as the women who inhabit them, are a potent reminder of loss. The life energy is drained from their bones. Whatever lives were once housed within them with their attendant hopes and dreams and have since faded. Art Miami marks another exciting benchmark for BJ and Richeille Formento whose photographic expeditions have spanned the globe. The Formentos were a top finalist in Vogue's New Exposure Competition 2012, working with Bottega Venetta and Red Digital Camera. A solo exhibition opened in November 2012 to rave reviews at London's Society Club. The couple's work was featured in Vogue Italia's Corso Como Gallery, Milan in both 2012 and 2013. 2013 kicked off in New York City at Edelman Arts and Traffic Art Space, which ran in tandem with an exhibition at Wonderground Studios and Robert Klein Gallery presented their work at Photo Paris earlier this month. Most notably, the Formentos celebrated the release of their first art tome,Circumstance, published by YK Editions in September 2013. The book is accompanied by a short documentary on their work shown throughout the early fall at the Pompidou Museum in Paris.    About Formento + Formento BJ Formento was born in Hawaii and grew up in the Philippines. After receiving his BFA in Photography from the Academy of Arts University of California, he moved to New York and assisted Richard Avedon, Mary Ellen Mark, and Annie Leibovitz, as well as studied with Eugene Richards and Arnold Newman. Richeille Formento was born in London and attended the prestigious Central St. Martins College of Art before working as an art director and designer in the fashion industry.

DONALD KILPATRICK: THE HIVE

The Butcher's Daughter proudly presents 

  

DONALD KILPATRICK: THE HIVE

Please join us for the opening reception  

December 7th from 5-10:00PM

 

This solo exhibition features over twenty new oil paintings on panel and intimately scaled works on gold edged vellum card.

The Hive presents a loosely narrative series that uses allegory to explore themes of authority, duty, and domestic civilization.

Working at the turn of the century, poet and novelist Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) completed the Duino Elegies that pondered existential purpose and the viability of salvation which in part is the basis for The Hive.

In a letter to his publisher, Rilke wrote:

"Everywhere transience is plunging into the depths of Being... It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again...

We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible."

Created predominately in Payne's Grey, Kilpatrick creates an atmospheric, dream-like environment that encourages reflection, investigation, and longing for requited faith.

The Hive runs through January 12, 2013
