Marilyn Church: Crime and Passion A Dance to the Music of Time, Marilyn Church Opening Reception Thursday, November 3rd, 6 - 8 p.m. Carter Burden Gallery Carter Burden Gallery presents three new exhibitions: Crime and Passion in the east gallery featuring Marilyn Church, About New York in the west gallery featuring Lindsay, and On the Wall featuring Claire Boren. The reception will be held November 3, 2016 from 6 - 8 p.m. The exhibition runs from November 1st through 22nd at 548 West 28th Street in New York City. The gallery hours are Tuesday - Friday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.  In Crime and Passion, Marilyn Church presents eight of her historic courtroom drawings with six of her recent paintings in her first exhibition at Carter Burden Gallery. The exhibition highlights the artist’s recent work while also recognizing her career as a courtroom artist for The New York Times. Her courtroom drawings capture key moments in some of the most sensational criminal trials in New York’s history. These very public drawings, Church says, helped inspire her more personal paintings: “The very real narratives of the defendants’ lives led me to examine more intensely my own narrative and how to portray it in my painting.” Marilyn Church’s recent works focus on the abstraction of the figure. The result is mysterious and ambiguous, an intriguing contrast with the realism of the dramatic courtroom drawings.

Exhibition for "National Days of Remembrance"

Michael Knigin's Exhibition for "National Days of Remembrance"

Photos from Tuesday, April 17th

In honor of National Days of Remembrance for the Holocaust (April 15-22) the photography committee presented a two-part show. Joyce Chasan presented the photomontages of artist Michael Knigin.  Dr. Stanley Burns showcased original images, documents and his series of multimedia photographs.

Knigin used images of the Nazi era and Holocaust to create an emotional response to the horrors of the time.  He records the dehumanization of mankind in a skilful juxtapositioning that takes the images from their mundane context and reorganizes them, granting them a new life.  Michael's goal was to indelibly imprint on our souls images that would facilitate remembrance. Michael died last year and his widow Joan Kraisky has continued his legacy by providing the images for this show. Knigin's work is included in over 60 museums and corporate collections.

Collector and curator Dr. Stanley B. Burns, who owns one of the largest Judaica and Holocaust photographic collections showcased some of the well known images of the era. Some of the images related to German oppression of Jews prior to the war, others related directly to the Shoah. Accompanying the images was original documents of the time. Dr. Burns, for the first time, presented from his own series of multimedia art works images of regular Nazi soldiers (non SS) who believed in the Nazi dream and who eagerly and aggressively played their part in the Shoah. These previously unseen and unpublished works will become icons of the era as they dramatically illustrate the extent of everyday abuse of Jews and their communities by the Wehrmacht. Dr. Burns has produced over 50 exhibitions always surprising his audience with new visual experiences.
