My opinion is: The Artists Christian Pietratpiana brings forth the very current topic joining art and the current international affairs in his exhibition on the Frailty of life. Art brings a connection of mental image and emotional quotient to a  discussion about life. Art projects like this in the age of intolerance is a welcome relief valve.

The Geography of Sound exhibition opens March 7, 2026 at the Posner Fine Art Paris. Looks Interesting.

Your cordially invited to the exhibition debut Geography of Sound / Lugar Santuario 15 Beautreillis, 75004 Paris France Saturday, March 7th 6:00 pm. Featuring the work of multidisciplinary artists Daniela Stubbs-Leví and Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola, and curated by Anna Dusi, Geography of Sound / Lugar Santuario presents an immersive exploration of sound as both landscape and refuge. Through an interdisciplinary practice that weaves together tactics, protocols, poems, and performative exercises, the artists investigate how sound can map memory, presence, and place. The exhibition invites visitors to move through a sensorial environment where listening becomes a form of navigation—transforming the gallery into a site of resonance, reflection, and sanctuary.  We hope you will join us for this special debut and celebration of the artists’ work. 

Geography of Sound / Lugar Santuario spans a series of individual works by the artists including experimental scores, artist books, drawings and objects from past projects, as well as their joint collaboration, Surcomancia. At once an immersive poem and collaborative sound installation, this third iteration of Surcomancia is the centerpiece of the exhibition at 15 Beautreillis. The dialogue between the artists’ work narrates a performative, sonic and poetic methodology rooted in the practice of listening – listening to the deep archives: the spinning earth, a decaying leaf, black holes, a dying star; an insistence that listens to the impossible as a political and poetic intention, animating invisible traces that are then appropriated, interpreted and reconfigured by the artists. Surcomancia – from the arts of bibliomancy and geomancy – is a divinatory practice the artists have been developing since 2023, when the artists traveled to San Andrés Roaguía, a small village in Oaxaca, Mexico, to explore a calcified waterfall filled with geological and cultural traces. In San Andrés Roaguía, the artists were surrounded by multiple kinds of surcos: furrows in the terrain that have been eroded by the passing of time. Through conversations, field recordings, walks, jokes and writing, the artists shared stories about their grandmothers -- an ancestral sorority -- and their guidance, remembering their voices through a shared lack.  In this way, the surco is an absence created by flux: water, air, accumulation, repetition, time, voice. The surco becomes a metaphorical trace of an intervention. The practice consists of listening to the echoes of absence, recombining sonic elements with interior traces and the environment.  From this experience, Surcomancia became a poem and limited edition publication that took shape as a risographed poemario-zine. Its second iteration, Surcomancia Radiofónica, was a long-distance radio performance where the furrows of space and time were explored through radio waves.  For the exhibition at 15 Beautreillis, the artists have created Surcomancia’s third iteration: a new poem and sonic flux mapped by field recordings, sound poetry and conversations during the artists’ encounter in France, adding to this piece the exploration of the furrows of Paris and its environs. This sound installation invites the spectator to find answers in their deep listening to reimagine, recombine and to hear their own flux. 

Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola (Mexico City, 1987) is a poet, artist and performer working in a variety of mediums. Her sound performances and installations often enact the friction and disintegration of language to amplify deeper layers of communication and reciprocity beyond the human, exploring the transmutation of archives, memory, ritual, and the ecology of sound. Her poetry—many times preconceived through somatic, ephemeral and ecopoetic gestures—is crucial to her research-based multidisciplinary practice. Daniela Stubbs-Leví is a Peruvian artist and poet based in Paris. Her practice creates affective cartographies of absence, mapping the porous thresholds between sound, memory, and place. Her practice treats listening as a transformative technology—one that measures echoes, renders absence palpable, and activates collective imagination.  Working with inaudible frequencies, engraved texts, and astrophysical phenomena, she explores how mourning resonates beyond human scales—in collapsing stars, untranslatable languages, and the vibrations that persist when sources disappear.

19th Annule High School Exhibitiom opens March 7th at the Art League of Long Island

Go APE! High School Student Exhibition Opens at the Art League of Long Island March 7th 

For the 19th year in a row the Art League of Long Island is pleased to offer the opportunity for High School Advanced Placement or equivalent art students throughout Suffolk and Nassau counties to exhibit their work in an AP Art exhibition entitled, “GO APE”.  This exhibit celebrates the exceptional artwork, as selected by their teachers, of AP, IB or equivalent art students in Long Island’s High Schools. Each school may submit up to 3 works to be apportioned as the teachers see fit among in what we hope is a wide cross section of media:  Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Mixed Media, Sculpture, Photography, and Computer Graphics. This exhibition will feature talented art students working across Long Island and will give the students the opportunity to view artwork created by their peers in a professional gallery setting. 

In that AP students are aiming at careers in the fine arts, presentation appropriate to a professional gallery setting should be stressed. To encourage more attention to appropriate framing, we will be giving a special award for “Best Presentation.” 

Awards will be given at the reception scheduled for Saturday, March 21st, from 1pm – 2pm, and will honor outstanding work created in each two and three-dimensional content area. 

About the Juror: Michelle Palatnik is a New York-based figurative painter whose work explores emotional architecture, interiority, and the tension between presence and absence. Her paintings aim to render psychological states with formal clarity and atmospheric restraint. 

She was awarded a four-year scholarship to New York University by Elizabeth Murray and won first place in painting from the Martin Wong Foundation. While at NYU, she studied with Maureen Gallace and Ross Bleckner. She continued her training at the Art Students League with Sharon Sprung and at the Grand Central Atelier under Jacob Collins, Colleen Barry, and Will St. John. Michelle’s work has been exhibited in Manhattan, Long Island, and internationally in Poly International’s first American Contemporary Art auction in China. She received the Richard C. Pionk Memorial Award at the Salmagundi Club and was selected as a copyist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she studied Rembrandt’s self-portraiture. She is currently pursuing her MFA at the New York Academy of Art, where her research and practice focus on the psychological dimensions of representation. Her current work engages themes of alienation, intimacy, and the limits of visibility in an increasingly performative culture. 

The Art League of Long Island is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to broad-based visual arts education, providing a forum and showcase for artists of all ages and ability levels. Since its inception in 1955, the mission has focused on enhancing Long Island’s cultural life by promoting the appreciation, practice and enjoyment of the visual arts. Collaborative events and outreach programs spread the joy of creativity among every segment of the population.
