    UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AT AMHERST AMHERST. MASSACHUSETTS 01003 (4131545·3670 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE contact: Betsy Siersma or Regina Coppola The University Gallery is pleased to begin the spring semester of 1993 with three exhibitions which comment on the beauty of the routine and the vernacular. All three exhibitions are on view at the Gallery from January 30 through March 12, and have an opening reception on Friday, January 29 from 5 to 7 p.m. AID Editions: Assorted Objects for the Home and Garden features a selection of work by 14 artists who were commissioned by AID, New York to create functional objects for domestic use. The artists worked closely with professional fabricators in realizing the objects which display a divergence of materials and functions, and reflect the concerns and aesthetic of the individual artist. Joe Andoe's birdbath was cast in iron in an edition of 20 with differently-sized cymbals providing the original pattern for the basin and base; the artist's Christmas tree from the year before served as the template for the pedestal. Andoe, who is a painter, regards this piece as his first sculpture. A serenely simple bowl by John Duff made in an edition of 10 reflects the nature of his fiberglass sculptures based on vessel forms. Georgia Marsh's fabric decorated with entwined bittersweet vines, and Joan Nelson's elaborately rendered botanical wallpaper both succeed in transporting the fresh delicacy of nature to an indoor setting. Among other work included in AID: Editions are a candelabrum by Arman, an outdoor standing desk by David Deutsch, a sundial by the team of McDermott and McGough, a chaise by Gary Stephan, and a chair and table suite by Richard Tuttle.

  • Discovery Guide
    THE CITY OF WINTER PARK on the green2018-2019 Welcome! The Winter Park Public Art Advisory Board is proud to display six large-scale sculptures by David Hayes (1931-2013). His polychrome abstract sculptures reference nature, and are presented to ignite the imagination with their color and sense of movement, even as they remain stationary. The sculptor, like so many artists, wanted his viewers to come to their own interpretations of his work. As Hayes was quoted as saying, “The perennial question is: What’s it supposed to be? And I always answer: It’s whatever you interpret it to be…it’s based on imagination – my imagination and the viewer’s imagination.” Looking closely, viewers may see allusions to leaves or trees, but the ironical juxtaposition of steel and natural forms proves provocative. Another contradictory aspect is that even though nature is the inspiration, primary colors do not appear in nature as they do in the sculptures. These forms are bright and bold to provide visual delight. In 1953, Hayes received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. In 1955, he received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, where he studied with David Smith. Hayes had some 400 exhibitions and is included in over 100 institutional collections, including those of the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wave What color is water? Has it ever seemed orange or yellow? What time of day did this happen? What color is it when it breaks over your head? How does it feel? It’s exciting, isn’t it? Grasshopper What color is a grasshopper? How does it camouflage itself? Why? How does it move? It hops of course! What kind of legs are required for hopping? Look quickly – this grasshopper might just hop away! Hanging Sculpture #40 Look up in the tree! There’s a surprise.

  • Stripes—The Whole Idea Curated by Edith Newhall
    Stripes—the whole idea Curated by Edith Newhall Featuring works by: Gabriele Evertz, James Juszczyk, Joanne Mattera, Don Porcaro, Mary Schiliro, Melissa Staiger, & Kim Uchiyama y introduction to stripes as a certifiable subject for art came in 1971 when I was a student at Moore College of Art and visited England for the first time. It was there that I saw Bridget Riley’s hypnotic stripe paintings in her first museum survey at the Hayward Gallery. A year later, I witnessed firsthand Gene Davis’s spectacular Franklin’s ​ Footsteps as it was being painted on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. At the time, the ​ 414-foot-long painting of candy-colored stripes in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art was the largest artwork in the world. Gene Davis, Franklin’s Footpath, 1972 ​ ​ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Photograph by Henry Groskinsky/The LIFE Images Collection via Getty Images Stripes are first and foremost templates for artists’ personal attractions and philosophies, even when that stance might be “what you see is what you see,” as Frank Stella famously quipped of his early paintings. What’s often forgotten about Frank Stella’s terse remark—made during a Q&A published in ARTnews in 1966—is that he prefaced it by saying, “All I want anyone to get out of my paintings is the fact that you can see the whole idea without any conclusion…” It’s not even clear that Stella wanted his paintings to be considered purely for their formal properties. How can his evocative titles, among them Valparaiso Flesh and Green, Palisades, Honduras ​ Lottery Co., and Palmito Ranch not stir romantic thoughts? Stella later admitted to ​ ​ ​ “emotional ambiguities” in his works.

  • Lynne Harlow February 16 - March 23, 2019 Golden Artist Statement
    GOLDEN LYNNE HARLOW FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 23, 2019 GOLDEN ARTIST STATEMENT Lynne Harlow’s solo exhibition Golden is an exploration of the shared sensations of two seemingly dissimilar cities: Los Angeles and Istanbul. The pieces combine color, material, light and space to explore the affinities she perceives between these two cities, examining their concrete commonalities, like ceramic tile and proximity to water, as well as the atmospheric sensations of both locations. Their historical and cultural differences serve as a compelling counter to the shared essence of these locations. Golden builds on previous projects like Limitless and Lonesome and Baker Bridge Road, projects that scrutinized physical locations and translated their sensory attributes into a group of reductive works executed in a range of materials, including paint, Plexiglas, fabric and light. Lynne Harlow’s working process aims to identify sensations and associations from personally significant and carefully chosen places, and allow them to evolve into their own autonomous experiences that expand beyond their initial sources. Conceptually, the series is built upon her time spent in both cities as a visitor, an outsider, synthesizing visual and cultural information with the heightened sense of observation – visual perception and aesthetic interpretation - that so often comes with being outside our familiar surroundings. There is an overpowering sense of collision of the built environment with the natural environment in both Los Angeles and Istanbul, a trait that isn’t unique to these two places but is particularly prominent in both. The series aims to examine and interpret this collision of the natural and the constructed. In addition, both cities’ identities hinge on their unique east/west relationships: Istanbul as the literal geographic meeting of Europe and Asia, and Los Angeles as an organic intermingling of varied Asian and western populations as a result of geographic proximity.

The drawings and maquettes on view here are studies for his monumental sculptures and include the biomorphic and geometric forms that comprise his signature style. Born in Hartford, he maintained a home and studio in Coventry, CT where dozens of his sculptures are situated throughout fifty-plus acres of bucolic farm and woodlands. The influence of his mentor David Smith and his friend Alexander Calder are visible in the playful welded steel polychrome works on display in the gallery.

  • Gabriele Evertz Gabriele Evertz Exaltation
    Gabriele Evertz Gabriele Evertz Exaltation January 11 – February 29, 2020 Exaltation by Mary Birmingham Gabriele Evertz’s studio in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn has always been an oasis of calm in the middle of a bustling setting, but lately it feels more like the eye of a hurricane. Like many of us, Evertz worries about the current, turbulent state of the world, but she does not allow it to distract her. She responds in the only way she can, by continuing her devotion to the creative act. Believing that art may help us transcend our troubles, she proposes that “the ills of our time suggest art as an antidote.”1 This conviction has empowered and inspired her studio practice for the last several years as she has worked with renewed dedication and purpose, constantly aware of the world around her with all its beauty and brutality but never discouraged by it. While her practice has changed and evolved over the past three decades, Evertz’s subject matter—color sensation and its transformative effect on the viewer—has remained consistent. Exaltation, her latest exhibition at Minus Space, features paintings from 2018 and 2019 that reveal an artist at the height of her achievement but still challenging herself. For about the past fifteen years, Evertz has utilized the same basic structure in her paintings: plumb vertical stripes in an array of hues, interspersed with subtly tapered bands in various shades of gray and white. The color wheel is always her point of entry and helps establish the order of hues in a painting, whether she incorporates the full, twelve-hue spectrum or concentrates on select hues.
