“Desperately Seeking Engagement: Young, sexy, passionate curator seeking compelling and accomplished artists. Must be professional, prolific, mysterious, and hungry for a good time. All overexposed, egotistical, untalented artists need not reply.”
- Beth McNeill, Curator, Seeking Engagement NSA. In Seeking Engagement NSA (No Strings Attached) curator Beth McNeill explores the work of eight artists in relationship to the audience’s response to what they see. Featuring work by Jack Ceglic, Tom Dash, Tapp Francke, Julia Greffenius, Jeff Muhs, Nika Nesgoda, Darius Yektaiand Gavin Zeigler. Art is a vehicle for artists to entice engagement with an audience. Whether literally or conceptually, art changes our personal and global consciousness. We want to know what engages you? Visitors are invited to leave a personal response that will be shared via social media. Jack Ceglic approaches his work with immediacy, almost as an attack and yet he renders a tenderness in each piece. He creates candid and engaging life size portraits in oil stick and pastel on paper. Tom Dash uses mixed media techniques to comment on social issues, music and popular culture. His collage and painted works in his “Pin Up” series project women and our contemporary culture. Tapp Francke’s latest mirror series engages the viewer in a process of self-reflection. The neon word and mirrored background forces the viewer to reflect upon the inherent personal meaning of what’s being conveyed. Julia Greffenius creates playful mixed media compositions of figures, landscapes, and abstraction. By exaggerating the highlights and softening the subject, her work appears illusory. Jeff Muhs, known for his work as a painter, recently set on re-exploring his world championship background in sculpture, surprises us with “The ODB”. This highly realistic hand sculpted clay figure shouts hip-hop culture and iconography. Nika Nesgoda’s Virgin series is a photographic compendium that brings elements of church-commissioned paintings by masters such as Caravaggio and Rubens to large-format color slide cibachromes of porn stars as models for The Virgin Mary, serving as “perfect” reflective surfaces for fantasy, redemption, or both. Darius Yektai transcribes his feelings and memories into works on paper, canvas and sculpture. Yektai’s “Three Graces” reflects on the beauty, charm and creativity of masters such as Botticelli and Raphael. His figures appear ethereal as they are dropped into the abstracted composition. Gavin Zeigler explores surface and color. In his Peep Show series, Zeigler creates an interrupted playing field of figure, form and pattern. He un-earths the beauty of the body under both subtle and bold palettes, teasing his viewers both visually and emotionally. Each artist currently lives and works on Eastern Long Island, New York.
Beth McNeill is an independent curator and proprietor of McNeill Art Group, based in Southampton, New York.

Chaya and Gitta hid in a convent in Rome until the Allies liberated the city in 1944. Under the auspices of Youth Aliyah, Gitta and Chaya went to Palestine in 1945.

A light reception and discussion will follow.Please click here to RSVP.Groundlessly jealous of his wife's romantic past, Enrico Fontana hires a private detective to finally determine whether she is faithful or not. Ironically, his suspicious attitude unconsciously brings his wife Paola (Lucia Bosé) together with Guido (Massimo Girotti), a man with whom she had once been in love. Paola and Guido's past was clouded in tragedy. Guido had been involved with Paola's close female friend's death. Their passion rekindled once again, the lovers even get to the point where they are thinking about murdering Enrico...In 1951 the film won the Silver Ribbon Award for Best Original Score (Giovanni Fusco) and the Special Silver Ribbon (Michelangelo Antonioni) for human and stylistic values. Story of a Love Affair was Antonioni's first full length feature film.#fineartmagazine
