| Denny Smith - In Color @ The ARTS | |
On exhibit through September 8, 2010
The ARTS
An exhibition of recent artworks by Allen Crittenden Smith will open at the Spotlight Gallery @ The ARTS in Corning on August 10. This marks the first solo exhibit for the artist in over three decades.
Smith states: "I was an art student cranked out of the late modernist school back in the 1970's. My teachers were second-generation abstract expressionists. Post-modernism was happening all around us, but it hadn't been validated yet."
Nine of these large watercolor paintings will be on display at the Spotlight Gallery of The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, 32 West Market Street, Corning, from August 10 through September 8. A reception with the artist will be held on Friday, September 3 from 5 - 7 pm.
Smith received an Artists Crossroads grant through The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes for an art performance/mural project and was a featured performance artist at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery's Gusto at the Gallery. Similar performances have been made for the Arnot Art Museum, the ARTS of the Southern Finger Lakes and the Corning Museum of Glass. A participant in the New York Foundation for the Arts MARK professional development program in 2008, Smith trained as a MARK Consulting Artist in 2010. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
The Spotlight Gallery @ The ARTS is open Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. For more inform ation about the exhibit, please contact The ARTS by phone (607) 962-5871 x223 or email infoARTS@eARTS.org. For more information about The ARTS, please visit www.eARTS.org. |
| Fire, Fire Burning Bright - Street Performance | |
Thursday, August 19, 2010
12:15pm
Centerway Square
Teatro Finisterre (World's End Theatre) will present Fire, Fire, Burning Bright, a modern day "medicine show". The piece is performed by Gigi Alvaré who plays a character named "St.Fumador" and is accompanied by assistants; "Les Fumettes" and two thirteen foot long dragons pulling a cart.
Alvaré received a Crossroads grant to perform street theatre pieces throughout 2010 which revolve around seasonal themes both on the natural and symbolic plane. The program encourages the creation of unique, artist-driven, site-specific, public arts projects occurring in non-arts venues. This piece, approximately 20 minutes long, plays with illuminating the nature of fire, transformation, beauty and light. At once humorous and profound it involves visual, scripted, as well as improvised material. "Through clowning, important ideas about the nature of existence can be brought to light'' says Alvaré.
The name " Finisterre" comes from the Latin; finis terrae and translates to "world's end" or "lands end" and refers to an actual place in the region of Galicia, Spain. Finisterre is the western most point of the coast; at the end of the ancient pilgrimage route; El Camino de Santiago.
This project is made possible in part, with public funds from the New York state Council on the Arts' Decentralization Program, administered locally by the ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes and will be performed in Centerway Square, Corning NY on Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 12:15 during the Corning Farmers Market. |

| Assembled Meanings @ Exhibit A | |
On exhibit through August 28, 2010
Exhibit A is pleased to announce Assembled Meanings. A solo exhibition of found object and image based assemblages by artist Gerald Mead. A GALLERY TALK with Gerald Mead takes place Saturday, August 28 at 5:00 PM.
Gerald Mead has spent years collecting things; antiquated photographic materials, medical slides, religious ephemera, and so on. Mead says, "I've long been intrigued by discarded objects and found images, regarding them as potent and poetic cultural artifacts." He goes on to explain, "Appropriating (and subverting) these objects and images represent not only my aesthetic and intuitive choices; it also introduces a dialogue with the viewer about how objects and images are observed and interrelated and how strategies of recombination affect their interpretation." The diminutive works presented in Assembled Meanings represent several of Gerald Mead's recent series.
Exhibit A is located upstairs in the Pure Design Building, 39-41 East Market Street, Corning NY. Regular gallery hours are Thursday and Friday 11-6:00 PM, Saturday 4-6:00 PM. Interested parties can also call (607) 259-1008 to visit the gallery by appointment. |
