Montclair Art Museum, September 14-2019 through June 21, 2020 Virgil Ortiz,: Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers.

MONTCLAIR ART MUSEUM PRESENTS VIRGIL ORTIZ: ODYSSEY OF THE VENUTIAN SOLDIERS September 14, 2019 – June 21, 2020 New Exhibition Engages Young Art Fans as Native History Meets Sci-Fi Fantasy Superheroes MONTCLAIR, NJ – Virgil Ortiz: Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers, a new exhibition at the Montclair Art Museum (MAM), showcases a striking light-infused wall mural and dramatic videos created by famed Pueblo artist, Virgil Ortiz. A number of Oritz’s exquisite ceramic vessels and figurines, on which the artist painted comic-book and sci-fi imagery that shows a heavy influence of contemporary art, are also on view. The exhibition is open at MAM September 14, 2019 through June 21, 2020.  Through his work, the past and future come alive as Ortiz tells the story of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, an important Native historical event, and blends it with a series of sci-fi fantasy stories that include a cast of imaginary characters. For the exhibition at MAM, Ortiz designed a mural that features a parade of Venutian Soldiers, sci-fi superheroes living in the year 2180 (500 years after the Pueblo Revolt) possessing extraordinary strength and magical powers. They are faced with the devastation of their environment by their enemies and march along wearing gas masks and oxygen tanks in search of a new homeland where they can preserve a traditional Pueblo way of life. At the forefront of a contemporary era of Native art that is sweeping the country, Virgil Ortiz (b.1969), works in a wide variety of mediums: ceramics, graphic art, blown glass, painting, photography, multimedia, and high fashion. Born at Cochiti Pueblo, located between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ortiz still lives and works in Cochiti. He hails from a celebrated family of potters, and was taught the art at a young age by his famed grandmother and mother. The family was involved in all the essential activities of pottery making: digging local clays, gathering wild spinach plants used for painting pottery with black designs, and Native outdoor firing techniques. Ortiz continues the tradition of creating figurative pottery that had for some time died out. After years of experimentation, Ortiz has moved past his early static figures to those showing action. His figurative forms have also grown in size as he has learned how to create much larger ones that are stable and structurally sound. Combining with his life-long passion for science fiction (he credits seeing Star Wars at an early age), his pottery figurines are players in his futuristic stories. His narrative transports visitors back more than 300 years to the 1680 Pueblo Revolt and then speeds forward through time to the year 2180. Ortiz introduces superhero characters such as the Venutian Soldiers, Tahu and her army of Blind Archers and Aeronauts, who all help the historical leaders of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt fight once again against the Castilian army. His work is very popular with younger audiences who share his love of fantasy characters, helping to build new supporters of the arts. “My mission of nearly two decades has been to create a narrative of the revolt utilizing the various mediums in which I work,” said Ortiz. “I want to make it interesting and relevant to the next generation. I want them to understand our history, how we survived genocide, and how our ancestors kept our art traditions and ceremonies intact.” The exhibition’s presentation at the Montclair Art Museum is coordinated by Pamela Jardine, MAM guest curator. The Virgil Ortiz: Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers exhibition is located in the Laurie Art Stairway and Rand Gallery. #fineartmagazine

EAT FOR A CAUSE AT 7TH ANNUAL TASTE OF GRAMERCY NEIGHBORHOOD FESTIVAL

New York, NY- On Saturday, September 21st, from 12:00 to 4:00 PM, the 7th annual Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood event will take place at Irving Place between 17th and 18th Streets.  The ultimate food-lover’s affair, Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood features many of New York City’s top restaurants. Some of this year’s participants include favorites such as Bouley at Home, Boucherie, The Breslin, Irvington Bar and Restaurant, Taco Electrico, The Clocktower and many others.  “It’s been a true delight to see our event grow year after year,” said Alan Krevis, President of Gramercy Neighborhood Associates. “We have been fortunate enough to meet and help promote some extraordinary businesses who have sponsored our event and have seen a real impact on their growth subsequent to their participation.” Tickets will go on sale on August 1st and will be available for purchase online at http://tasteofgramercy.org  Epicures act fast because early bird pricing ends on September 4th and last year this much-anticipated event sold out quickly!  Patrons can purchase six tastings or a full tasting which includes a tasting from each of the nearly two dozen participating restaurants.  A few of the gastronomic delights available this year include lobster rolls, North Haven Oysters “double-crunch” style with pomegranate and sesame seeds and arancini with beef ragu, buffalo mozzarella and saffron.  Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood, sponsored by the Gramercy Neighborhood Associates, promotes local businesses and introduces residents of NYC to the wonderful array of food that Gramercy and its surrounding area has to offer.  Every year net proceeds benefit healthy meal programs at local public schools, including PS 40 and School of the Future. In an attempt to let no food go to waste, all leftover food goes to feed the homeless via the Bowery Mission.  Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood event would not be possible without the generous support of its many sponsors, including Gramercy Neighborhood Associates, Halstead Property, Con Edison, Premier Pediatrics, Royal Orthodontics, Mount Sinai and Starry. Product Sponsors such as Breads Bakery, Irving Farm Coffee Roasters, FOCO Coconut Water, Insomnia Cookies and Kombucha will also be giving away samples for ticket holders only.  Raffle items will be provided by Barry’s Bootcamp, Le Coq Rico, Kiehl’s, Sal Anthonys, Baked by Melissa, Racked, Tosler Davis and many more.

ZULU! CONTEMPORARY MASTER ZULU POTTER  MNCANE NZUZA

ZULU! Contemporary Master Zulu Potter Mncane Nzuza Vessels From the Far Away KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa Travel to Modern Desert Venue for Exhibition at Lisa Sette Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona Image  Mncane Nzuza, photographed in KwaZulu-Natal province, South AfricaExhibition November 2, 2019 - January 4, 2020 Private Lecture Event with Douglas Dawson Ethnographic Expert Specializing in African, Asian, and Pre-Columbian Ceramics Saturday November 9, 2019 from 1:00-2:00pm Public Opening Reception  Saturday November 9, 2019 from 7:00-9:00pm It is difficult to conceive of two more disparate situations; a sophisticated, urban, contemporary art gallery in Phoenix, Arizona and a traditional compound of earthen structures at the end of a road in a remote corner of KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. Surprisingly, however, these two contrasting circumstances of life on earth are closely linked by the common, intrinsically human impulse of aesthetic appreciation. In this case, regarding the hand-built clay vessels of Zulu potter Mncane Nzuza, whose work is both distinguished among her Zulu culture, and widely recognized in contemporary Western circles. From November 2, 2019 to January 4, 2020, Lisa Sette Gallery will exhibit a collection of Nzuza’s remarkable clay vessels. Mncane Nzuza lives in South Africa in a kraal—the ancient, traditional compound of round, earthen houses, and she is 69 years old. Her grandmother was a potter who instructed Nzuza as a child in the labor-intensive and matriarchal world of Zulu ceramics. Traditional Zulu pottery created today links to deep cultural pathways: the blackened earthenware vessels function as potent connectors between ancestors and the living. Most are made for either brewing or serving a mild beer, which is communally consumed at important occasions. While Zulu potters work within this specific canon, there is considerable avenue for individual expression, and creating distinguished pottery is a primary vehicle for women to assert and increase prestige within Zulu society. Nzuza’s pots, which are exceptionally accomplished both technically and aesthetically, are a testament to this dynamic.

Casey Chalem Anderson at the 52nd Springs Invitational at Ashawagh Hall. August 2nd., 2-5 PM

Blue Twilight Casey Chalem Anderson In the 07/30/2019 edition:  By Casey on Jul 30, 2019 07:28 am Blue Twilight 24 x 24 inches oil/wood When viewing a screen image you can never fully realize the quality and subtlety of the pigments in an oil painting. There is so much more color sensation and wonder about how the paint functions when observing it in real life. This is what makes an original painting so engaging. You can puzzle the progression of what was painted first, second, last. This painting could have only been created in a specific order. It’s not something I planned, it is a record of what happened as the painting developed. A painting has the time it took to make it baked in to the overall consciousness of the work. Please come have a look at the real thing! 52nd Annual Springs Invitational at Ashawagh Hall (780 Springs Fireplace Road) Opening Reception this Friday, August 2 –  5-8 pm #fineartmagazime
