“I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.”
– Bob Dylan
Drawing Rooms exhibit, "formless", features works that project a sense of poetic lightness, fragility, and etherealness in weight, volume, color, or mass, or that may be atmospheric and seem to defy gravity. Some of the works may evoke within the viewer a meditative sense of calm, in others, a sense of mystery, including works that are abstract, objective, nonobjective, narrative, or imbued with formal qualities of line and shape.
In keeping with our love of music, this show is dedicated to Bob Dylan, whose music, known for its poetic blend of folk and rock and socially conscious lyrics, evolved from acoustic ballads to electric anthems, and his style morphed, pushed boundaries, and set trends that influenced generations of musicians with his unique voice and literary approach to popular music. Dylan’s song, Shelter From the Storm, relates to our Formless theme, and we especially like it.
formless Artists:
Aimee Mower-Lally, Ajean Ryan, Amy Faris, Andrea DeFelice, Andrew Schwartz, Anne Gilley, Anne Trauben, Ben Goldman, Beverly O'Mara, Bruce Dunbar, Cara London, Carin Kulb Dangot, Charles Marburg, Chase Cantwell, Chris Randall, Claudia Ullman, Cynthia Egle-Grant, Daryl-Ann Saunders, Deborah Hesse, Elaine Hansen, Ellen Stavitsky, Francine Demeulenaere, Helen Hawley, Jamie Adams, Jason Swift, Jean-Paul Picard, Jenny Krumpus, Jodie Fink, John Hampshire, John Patterson, Kathryn Murray, Ken Weathersby, Laura Lou Levy, Lisa Petsu, Lynne Friedman, Marsha Goldberg, Matthew Shewchuk, Miriam Jacobs, Mona Brody, Nancy Soto, Naoko Nishiyama, Nicole Lenzi, Nicole Pieper, Perry Johnson, Rachel Alban, Ricardo Bitran, Rina Dweck, RitaMarie Cimini, Sara Kohrt, Sarah Brenneman, Sean Burns, Stephen Cimini, Steve Rappaport, Susan Meyer, Thomas Lendvai, Tim Main, Tim Merrick, Valerio Murri, William Stamos, Yen Ha, Yu Cheng
Drawing Rooms Solo Project Space: Anders Goldfarb-”Ash Avenue”
Ash Avenue is an allegorical autobiography alluding to memory, experience and fate. "In 1988, I began selecting some of my surreal and visceral images that reflected my life. After years of editing, I completed the project."
Photography in the Alcove Gallery: 4 series of works
Amy Becker: DEAD RINGERS: Portraits of abandoned payphones in public places.
Edward Fausty: "Moving Mountains" Taken from a moving car in China, the large-scale muted toned images recall classic Chinese painting, and convey the experience of moving through the landscape.
Lynne Breitfeller: "After the Fire: Water-Damaged" explores photographs as memory by examining the shape-shifting potential of altered images
Peter Emerick: “Koans” is a body of work that the artist has been exploring for over 30 years. It is a series of photographs of traffic cones taken on the street and in the studio-spun into hypnotic patterns.
