Jessica Alazraki Couple, 2018 Oil On Canvas 60 x 48 in $3,500 Jessica Alazraki New York, New York, USA 917-439-5775 [email protected] http://www.jessicaalazrakiart.com Jessica Alazraki: I was born and raised in Mexico City and have a bachelors degree in Communications from Universidad Anáhuac. I worked as a creative in advertising right after finishing high school and moved to New York City in 1998 where I worked at various advertising agencies that specialized in targeting the U.S. Hispanic market. At the same time, I was studying at the Parsons School in which I earned a degree in Graphic Design. I also entered other CE graphic design programs at various schools in NYC including the School of Visual Arts and Cooper Union. After becoming a Mom, I quit my job but continued to work as a visual artist. In 2008, I first discovered my passion for drawing and painting. Since then, I have worked with live models helping me to expand my knowledge of anatomical drawing and figure painting. After my first year of studies for a Masters Degree in Figurative Painting (2015-2016) at the New York Academy of Art, I have been preparing my self- directed body of work that represents my artistic interest, my personality and contributes to creating social awareness. I have exhibited my paintings in the U.S.A. in over 30 groups shows including several Galleries in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, Poughkeepsie, California, and Philadelphia as well as in Sotheby’s Auction House in NY and various museums like the Attleboro Arts Museum in Massachusetts and the New Britain Museum of America Art. I had two Solo Shows in NYC and have participated in more than five group shows in Mexico City and Puebla, Mexico. In 2015, I received “The Award of Excellence” from Huntington Arts Council. In 2017, I was given an “Honorable Mention Award” by the Barrett Art Center at the Circle Foundation for the Arts as well as the prize for second place at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition. In 2018, I was given “The Passion Project Award” and “Artdex Award.” I am a member of the American Federation of the Arts and most Museums in New York.

My approach is to typically keep an eye open for interesting reflections, light patterns, views of a subject. I look for hidden beauty in everyday life that hopefully may inspire others to do so as well. I enjoy using the collage format to integrate associated images into a cohesive unit that is more compelling because of the embedded story; launched this format in five consecutive years of exhibiting in the Grand Rapids, MI ArtPrize event starting in 2014. Since 2018, my first full dedicated year as a photographer, I have been juried into several art exhibitions as noted below: • 23rd and 24th (2018 and 2019) Annual Juried Photography Exhibition of the Dearborn, MI Community Arts Council • Juried Spring 2018 and 2019 Shows of the Artists’ Society of Dearborn (took first place in photography in ’19) • 2018 Pulmonary Hypertension Association International Conference and Scientific Sessions Art Gallery Showcase and Raffle, Orlando, FL • The Muskegon Museum of Art’s 90th (2018) Michigan Regional Exhibition • Crossing Perspective: Finding Similarities of Culture Exhibit at the Dearborn Black Box Gallery, Fall 2018 • 21st (2018) Annual Livonia Exhibition of Fine Arts (MI) • 6x6: Be There, Be Square December 2018 exhibit at the Las Laguna Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA • Iphonography Now juried exhibition of the Plymouth Center for the Arts, Plymouth, MA, January 2019 • Five Points Gallery (Torrington, CT) Small Works Juried Exhibition, February 2019 • Linus Galleries (CA) Fragmented Abstract Art and Blur International Art Calls, Winter 2019 • Scarab Club of Detroit, MI Gilda Snowden 2019 Memorial Exhibition • Vienna Arts Society (Vienna, VA) 50th Anniversary Treasury of Art juired show and sale, April 2019 • Plymouth Center for the Arts’ Fine Art of Photography 9th Annual Competition and Exhibition, Spring 2019.

I see a potential in each condition, a space for manipulation in both conventional / unconventional approaches. Taking this approach redefines what I know already possible about ceramic conditions, allowing me to discover new interactions within my work. The finished state of my work attempts to echo an experiential moment I fixated on during the research. I see the work to exist in a space of clarity, where the subtly / reservation allows for the objects to live without distraction and speak from themselves. Curator Review: Oxide: Slip, Glaze, Wedge The originality and variety of mediums used in this expressive installation, showcases Bryant’s diversity and intuitive thought process. Deliberately arranged with warm and unified connections, the resting state of each object exudes an almost classical air. Artist Luke Bryant balances the elements extraordinarily well by juxtaposing the more abstract and liberated 2D pieces above with his stately ceramic pieces below. -E.E.

  • Collecting, Documenting, and Sharing Detroit Arts Culture: in and Around Wayne State, 1960S-1980S
    MACAA Conference Summary Collecting, Documenting, and Sharing Detroit Arts Culture: In and Around Wayne State, 1960s-1980s In the 1960s, as explosive social and political movements gave rise to the rejection of post-World War II middle-class society, Wayne State University and its nearby environs emerged as a cultural force. A loosely drawn community of artists, poets, musicians and politicos became active participants in this boldly expressive movement, with much activity centered in the Cass Corridor, adjacent to campus. While this mirrored what was going on in other parts of the country, Detroiters had their own source material, inspiration, and tools for expression. For the MACAA Conference, six panelists presented a number of projects undertaken to preserve the heritage of this important time in Detroit's cultural history, as well as efforts to document current trends. Sandra Schemske, University Art Collection Coordinator, Wayne State University In order to provide background on the art scene around Wayne State during this time period, Sandra presented a documentary video she produced for the University Art Collection, which was made in conjunction with an exhibition at Elaine Jacob Gallery on Wayne State’s campus. The exhibition and video—'Time and Place: Art of Detroit's Cass Corridor from the Wayne State University Art Collection'— featured the work of a number of Cass Corridor artists whose work is displayed in and outside of campus buildings and offices. The video provided a tour of that exhibition, and served to familiarize MACAA Conference attendees with the artists and their work, as well as serving as a testament to the continuing value the art and artists have to the university and community.
