Last Week to Enter FilmsOnArtists 2011 Juried Show

FOAHEADER


Last week to enter FilmsOnArtists 2011 Juried Show!

Win a documentary film about your art and a solo show at Rogue Space | Chelsea.




Juried Show


Following the success of our 2010 international, all-medium juried art show and award of the top prize of our "Artists Exhibition Package", FilmsOnArtists is proud to announce our 2011 competition. 

40 artists will be juried by our judge David Masello for a show at our gallery Rogue Space | Chelsea. From that show one artist will be selected to have a solo show, reception and a screening of the documentary we create about their art. 

As an artists friendly initiative FilmOnArist does not take commission from sales. However we ask that artists who sell work during our juried show make a tax-deductable donation to FOA's Haitian Children's Art Project at the Maranatha School and Orphanage in Port-Au-Prince. 

FilmsOnArtists (FOA) is a new media production company based in the Chelsea district, NYC that creates enlightening and inspirational documentaries about artists around the globe. Our intent is to illuminate and educate via the experiences of the creatives who are interpreting our world.

This event is free and open to the public
 
The Orchard Windows Gallery has invited celebrated New York artist, Eddie Rehm, back for his third solo exhibition.  "Instant Gratification Abstract is a term I use to describe my art and the style in which I present each piece,” says Rehm, when asked to describe his work.  Rehm’s art has been displayed throughout New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Pennsylvania, as well as many local Art Leagues and Associations.  His work will also be displayed in the upcoming 2011 Art Basel Miami, along side internationally renowned contemporary artists. 
 
Rehm’s last show Belligerence which consisted of a full gallery conceptual installation, created an aggressive buzz, aptly fitting the show’s title. “With an overwhelming positive response from collectors, patrons, and press publications, I am excited about continuing our artistic collaboration, representing Rehm’s work and giving him another exhibition,” says Dino Eli, owner of Orchard Windows Gallery. 
 
On the theme of his new show, Abandonment to Revelation, Rehm reveals his impetus:  “My work is my interpretation of today’s society, since I have lived a life that many Americans are also currently enduring.  I have been abandoned, slandered, divorced, bankrupt, homeless, and jobless.  I have recently lost not just friends, but family.  I have suffered through so many conflicting emotions simultaneously:  belligerence, anger, depravity, sorrow, indifference, and pain.  I have lost it all!  So art to me is therapeutic; it’s my way of working through all of these recent personal, but somehow collective, tragedies.  At the same time, each person’s experience is unique, and while I feel everyone can relate to these experiences in some way, my art transcends that experience, representing my journey toward enlightened ideas and raw emotion through progressive thought.  Through these gut-retching experiences or perhaps in spite of them, I am meeting myself again as if for the first time.  In doing so, through my art, I am asking the very questions that most people won’t, can’t, or bury down deep so they don’t have to deal with them.  I am not ashamed of these questions or where they lead us, but intrigued!  Through these tribulations, I have learned that we are, at the same time, our own best friend and worst enemy, and despite this, we can find our own answer.  So I have come full circle and this work is the beginning of this enlightenment.”
 
If this does not spark your curiosity, then you should check out the exhibition simply to get a forward
looking glimpse of what 21st century art will be.  According to Dino, “His style is unique, raw, and refreshing.  I believe it's only a matter of time before the whole world knows who he is.”

Jacco Maris Design - The Outsider
 
Jacco Maris Design
 
The Outsider
Unusual outsider. Silent witness. Robust charm. Impressive aura. Illuminating element.

The outsider is an imposing lamp for indoor and outdoor use; an intriguing object that combines decorative simplicity with a hefty dose of robust charm. The pedestal and the arched frame are made of powder-coated steel and the shade is made of cast aluminium. The large window, made of clear glass, endows The Outsider with an illumination pattern that delights the eye. This exclusive lamp is available in black, white and aluminium blank and has a pedestal with bolt apertures for attachment to a hard base such as stone or concrete. Another version is available that can be embedded in cast concrete. The standing lamp is joined by a hanging lamp, an adjustable hanging lamp and a wall lamp.
 
Jacco Maris DesignMaking something from nothing and creating optimum designs from minimal amounts of materials. This is the inspiring basic concept that underlies the creation, since 1994, of the exceptional light features of Jacco Maris. These are unique objects that combine powerful and exciting looks with graceful harmony and subtle elegance. Each item is individually handcrafted and skilfully produced at our own studio in Breda, the Netherlands.

CURIOUS THEATRE BRANCH

STILL IN PLAY:
A PERFORMANCE OF GETTING READY

September 15-17, 2011

 







The MCA Stage's 15th season launches with the world premiere of a work by Chicago's Curious Theatre Branch that reveals a behind-the-scenes view of the hour before a performance begins. The situations that unfold by the 17-member, multi-generational ensemble are inspired by real experiences and rituals within the company. Still in Play: A Performance of Getting Ready was developed by Jenny Magnus through a year-long residency at the MCA, is directed by Stefan Brün, and features live music by ensemble-comprised Crooked Mouth Band. The performances take place at the Museum of Contemporary Art on September 15-17, 2011.   

Still in Play is scripted, but has the feel of real time improvisation as the actors work through activities and anxieties prior to the start of a performance. The ensemble members move back and forth between acting and playing and singing songs with lyrics that act as a "Greek chorus commentary" about what is happening in the story, focusing on themes of fortitude, perseverance, and frustration. Crooked Mouth Band's style is a cross between folk and pop-rock and features guitar, banjo, bass, accordion, and drums. A massive video projection behind the actors adds another dynamic by presenting both live feed and pre-recorded content. The actors are responsible for running the video while they perform, revealing the creative process to the audience. 

Magnus' residency was part of the MCA's ongoing commitment to support the development of new work by visual and performing artists. Her residency, titled Office Hours, took place over the course of a year. Magnus welcomed visitors to engage in conversation about topics they were interested in and related to Still in Play, including the notion of the theater as a place of work; the stress between parenting and being an artist; the ensemble as tribe and clan; how to maintain generational working relationships; and how an artist can create attention on stage. Notes culled from these interactions directly inspired the development of the work and some of the script is a "love letter to the MCA Stage," according to Magnus.

 



 
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Curious Theatre Branch was founded in 1988 by Jenny Magnus and Beau O'Reilly as the Curious Theatre "Branch" of the alt-rock cabaret act Maestro Subgum and the Whole. Curious works with an ensemble of artists, ranging from pre-teen to late 70s in age, in a non-hierarchical decision-making process. Curious has produced more than 100 full productions of world-premiere shows. Still in Play marks their fourth full performance at the MCA Stage, including Dictator Light (1997), No Danger of the... Spiritual Thing: Short Plays by Samuel Beckett (2006), and Round and round: a sexfarcetragedy (2008).

Jenny Magnus is co-founder of Curious Theatre Branch, a playwright, performer, and musician whose work has appeared nationally and internationally with Curious, Steppenwolf Studio, Cleveland Public Theater, and the Chimney in Berlin. She also teaches theater and writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Chicago, and Columbia College. She has released four music recordings.

Stefan Brün, co-artistic director of the Prop Thtr, has been working with Curious Theatre Branch since 1988 when he directed Careening Is a Skill. Other recent projects include I Am In A Small Space For A Reason I Don't Understand and the current version of Room with Jenny Magnus.
