  • Hewitt Gallery of Art Catalogues: Psychogeography
    psychogeographyartists’ responses to place [and displacement] in real and imagined spaces april 1 - may 1, 2019 gallery director’s statement Frederick Brosen Psychogeography explores artists’ responses to place [and displacement] in real and imagined spaces. From the psychic Ben paljor chatag to the specific, from recollection to recording, the works in this exhibit recreate the power of place in the human jeFF chien-hsing liao imagination. The nine artists in this group exhibition have traversed the dahlia elsayed globe, from the North Pole to Alexandria, Egypt, from Tibet to Italy, and from Flatbush to Central Park. Some travel in ellie ga the imaginative realms, others may never leave the studio. This exhibit takes inspiration from the notion of dérive or kellyanne hanrahan “drifting,” a word coined by French Marxist philosopher, Guy Debord, one of the founders of the Situationists International emily hass movement. Hallie Cohen | Director of the Hewitt Gallery of Art matthew jensen “One can travel this world and see nothing. To achieve sarah olson understanding it is necessary not to see many things, but to look hard at what you do see.” curated By hallie cohen - Giorgio Morandi aBout the artists Frederick Brosen’s exquisite, highly detailed watercolors capture the light, the architecture, and the aura of a New York City street or a Florentine strada, while Ben paljor chatag’s watercolors deal with “inner qualities” he discovered in Tibet before emigrating to the United States. Taiwanese-born jeFF chien-hsing liao’s large- scale black and white photographs of the iconic Central Park are based on the Chinese lunar calendar and call to mind the vertical format and multiple perspectives of traditional Chinese landscape painting.

    dahlia elsayed: navigations in the present tense dahlia elsayed: navigations in the present tense Newark-based artist Dahlia Elsayed reexamines the interconnectedness of writing and painting in her latest To make a start, exhibition, Navigations in the Present Tense. Inspired by a recent residency at the Joan Mitchell Foundation out of particulars in New Orleans (Spring 2013), she adopted harder edges and bold colors such as orange, evoking its and make them general, rolling association with construction signage and barriers. These recent compositions fuse multiple perspective points: looking up, down, sideways, and inside from both close-up and far away. Breaking from her previous up the sum, by defective means – work, she now favors fewer elements in isolation and juxtaposition to each other. The individual forms are Sniffing the trees, larger; they span or push the boundaries of the entire composition instead of being small, discrete, and just another dog self-contained. Elsayed newly integrates text as a footnote or a list of things rather than an overarching among a lot of dogs. What word that defines the composition. As a result, the reader is drawn into the juxtaposition of words, the else is there? sounds of reading them aloud (alliteration in some cases), and the visual and mental associations they conjure. Her language is specific to a place, landscape, experience, and a moment in time. Language further evolves in this accompanying publication that pairs a handful of diminutive compositions with a poem. The colorful abstract compositions mimic stanzas of a poem, where pauses and breaks can be used to emphasize words or images around them.

Established in 1895 by the New Jersey State Legislature and Governor George Werts with collections drawn from the State’s Geologic Surveys begun in the 1830s, the Museum was housed in a small space in the State House. At that time, the Museum’s purpose was to collect and exhibit specimens in natural history, archaeology and industrial history.

  • Promised Land Artist Statements & Bios
    t r a n s f o r m e r PROMISED LAND ARTIST STATEMENTS & BIOS 1404 P Street NW Washington, DC 20005 | 202.483.1102 | www.transformerdc.org t r a n s f o r m e r Jane Carver Whirl Up 2014 Performance with curtain with armature, swivel stage, sound Whirl Up, Sea is a consideration of the relationship between spectacle and sorrow. Drawing from the shipwrecks of the New Era and the Morro Castle off the coast of Asbury Park in the same exact site, this work invites the audience to hear a song and take a spin, while immersed in view of the swaying cloth. As part of local lore, in the days following the wreck of the Morro Castle, eager crowds had to pay admission to view the ship’s hull from behind a huge theater curtain. The precision of the shared site brings to mind Charybdis, a creature from book 12 of Homer’s Odyssey. She is a mighty whirlpool who swallows passing ships, spitting out the splinters. Her insatiable hunger matches that of her grisly neighbor Scylla, a six-headed beast who picks off sailors crossing the Strait of Messina. Scylla’s body is also in constant spin. Jane Carver is the artist-in-residence at the Association for Cultural Equity: The Alan Lomax Archive, and the co-founder of the performance series Low Stakes. She holds an MFA from Hunter College and is a member of the Bulgarian women’s choir, Yasna Voices. She has performed at The Queens Museum, St.
