Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston,SC, Offers Two New ExhibitionsThe Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston,SC, will present two new exhibitionsfrom July 22 through Oct. 16, 2011. TheCreative Spirit: Vernacular Art from theGadsden Arts Center Permanent Collection,organized by the Gadsden ArtsCenter in Quincy, FL, will be on view inthe Main Gallery. The exhibit featurespaintings, drawings, and sculpture by theforemost self-taught artists of the AmericanSouth. The exhibit, In Search of JulienHudson: Free Artist of Color in Pre-CivilWar New Orleans, was co-organized byWorcester Art Museum and The HistoricNew Orleans Collection. The exhibition,on view in the Gibbes’ Rotunda Galleries,is the first retrospective of the brief - butimportant - career of portraitist JulienHudson, one of the earliest documentedfree artists of color working in the 19thcentury.“The complimentary nature of thesetwo exhibitions underscores our desire topresent new and interesting juxtapositionsto our community. Both exhibitions documentthe power of the creative spirit in theface of adversity,” stated Angela D. Mack,Executive Director.The Baptism, n.d.By Alyne Harris (American, b. 1943)Acrylic on canvas, 24 x 30 inches (unframed)Courtesy of the Gadsden Arts CenterThe Creative Spirit: Vernacular Artfrom the Gadsden Arts Center PermanentCollection showcases the expressive artworkcreated by self-taught artists who aredriven by their creative spirit. Centeredaround works of art by the most acclaimedsouthern vernacular artist, Thornton DialSr., the exhibition also includes other wellknown self-taught artists such as LonnieHolley, Joe Light, Jimmy Lee Sudduth,Mose Tolliver, and Purvis Young.Most of the artists represented inthe exhibition are of African-Americandescent and have lived in rural parts ofthe Deep South for a significant period intheir lives. The artists share many characteristicsincluding growing up in povertywith limited education and exposure tothe outside world and a strong religiousupbringing and family influence. The CreativeSpirit demonstrates the communaland therapeutic function that art can playin the lives of artists.Everything is Under the Black Tree, n.d.By Thornton Dial, Sr. (American, b. 1928)Paint on plywood, 31 ½ x 48 inches (unframed),Courtesy of the Gadsden Arts CenterDiscovered by the curator and art collectorWilliam Arnett in 1987, ThorntonDial, Sr. is viewed by many curators asone of the great creative minds of ourtime. He is widely known for his representationsof the tiger which he uses as asymbol of the African-American man’sstruggle for freedom, and for givingnew life to found materials through hisartwork. He collects old carpet, rope,fence, clothes and more to build his artand then uses paint to finish the piece. Formost of his life, Dial was unaware that hewas making art; he was just acting on anunconscious need to create things. His artbrings attention to such themes as racialinequality, relationships between menand women, and struggles in the modernworld. The Indianapolis Museum of Art iscurrently touring his first career retrospectiveexhibition titled Hard Truths.The Creative Spirit: Vernacular Artfrom the Gadsden Arts Center PermanentCollection was made possible in part byDr. Lou and Mrs. Calynne Hill, Dr. Jimand Mrs. Betty Ann Rodgers, and theGadsden Arts Endowment Trust, Inc. Theexhibition at the Gibbes is sponsored byBlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.Creole Boy with a Moth by Julien Hudson; 1835;oil on canvas; courtesy of a private collection;photo courtesy of Fodera Fine Art Conservation,Ltd.In Search of Julien Hudson: Free Artistof Color in Pre-Civil War New Orleansexplores the influence of free people ofcolor in New Orleans during the 19thcentury. Historically, free people of color,or gens de couleur libres, were people ofAfrican and often mixed Afro-Europeandescent who had either been born intofreedom or gained their liberty throughother means. The population created athird segment to the racial classificationsystem - occupying a complicated middleground between whites and slaves.From the early 18th century to theclose of the Civil War, free people of colorflourished in several American cities,including Baltimore and Charleston, butNew Orleans was home to the largest suchpopulation in the nation. In 1810, freepeople of color represented 29 percentof the city’s population. This exhibitionwhich began its three-city tour in NewOrleans - strives to bring the community’sinfluence to the forefront by examiningthe work of Julien Hudson, his mentors,contemporaries, and competitors.Portrait of a Black Man, 1835, By Julien Hudson(American, ca. 1811-1844) Oil on canvas, 30 ¼ x25 1/8 inches, Private Collection, Pre-conservationphoto courtesy of Didier Inc.Julien Hudson was the first nativeLouisiana artist and the second earliestknownportraitist of African heritage tohave worked in the United States. BornJan. 9, 1811, Hudson was the son of aproperty-owning free woman of color andan English merchant. A French-speakingCatholic raised primarily by women,Hudson lived in a city where his racialancestry and status as a free person ofcolor left him forever straddling the linebetween freedom and slavery.continued above on next column to the rightTable of ContentsHudson’s own story reveals the mobilityavailable to some free people - ormore specifically, native-born free men- of color. He began studying painting asa young man in the mid-1820s. In NewOrleans, he trained first with itinerantminiaturist Antonio Meucci and laterwith German painter François (Franz)Fleischbein, but he also took two trips toParis, where he studied with well-knownFrench painter Alexandre-Denis Abel dePujol. Unfortunately, Hudson’s careerwas short - he died in 1844 at age 33. Thecircumstances surrounding his death area mystery. All that remains of his body ofwork are five paintings by his hand andtwo attributed to him by stylistic affinity.This exhibition marks the first time thathis complete catalogue will be displayed.Approximately 30 additional works byHudson’s contemporaries and mentorsare included in the exhibition, along witha special showing of miniature portraitsfrom the Gibbes collection.In Search of Julien Hudson: Free Artistof Color in Pre-Civil War New Orleansis supported in part by an award from theNational Endowment for the Arts andthe National Endowment for the Arts’American Masterpieces: Three Centuriesof Creative Genius. Initial research wasfunded by a grant from the Terra Foundationfor American Art.In conjunction with the exhibition, TheHistoric New Orleans Collection has releasedIn Search of Julien Hudson, featuringmore than 60 full-color reproductionsof paintings, sculptures, and drawingsby Hudson, his mentors and contemporaries.The publication was written by arthistorian and guest curator William KeyseRudolph and historian Patricia Brady.Established as the Carolina Art Associationin 1858, the Gibbes Museum ofArt opened its doors to the public in 1905.Located in Charleston’s historic district,the Gibbes houses a premier collection ofover 10,000 works, principally Americanwith a Charleston or Southern connection,and presents special exhibitions throughoutthe year.

She has taken several prizesthroughout her career and exhibits throughorganizations including the Oil Painters ofAmerica, Portrait Society of America, andCalifornia Art Club.Work by Olga KrimonKrimon offered the following statement,“I find an idea – an abstract idea –and I follow it. It may be a compositionalsolution based on diagonals or horizontals,or on repeated shapes. Or it may be themovement of the light – starting slow onthe left, getting progressively stronger,culminating at a focal point and thengradually receding. It may be the way thesilhouette blurs into the background andthen has areas of stronger sharper contrastthat dominate and make the shape comealive. And it’s always about the rhythm,about the movement. You rearrange,you find the best solutions by varyingthe relationships, the degrees of warm/cold, sharp/soft, dark/light – to create thatmovement.”“The best representational art is aboutthat, and that’s what I’m trying to follow,”adds Krimon. “It really doesn’t matter ifit’s a painting of a sitter, a still life, or alandscape – it’s not about the object itself.The idea is very abstract, which is ironicfor a truly realistic painting. I’m also attractedto a painting where something ishappening around the focal area, while theother areas are much quieter and subdued- not a screaming piece where thingshappen all over the place, but a paintingthat guides me into it and makes my eyesfollow it in a very calculated way. Everythingelse is secondary.”For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call thegallery at 843/727-4500 or visit (www.mgalleryoffineart.com).The Wells Gallery on Kiawah Island,SC, Features Works by Rick McClureThe Wells Gallery at The Sanctuaryin Kiawah Island, SC, is presenting theexhibit, Tranquility, featuring peaceful oilpaintings that evoke a feeling of calm andbeauty by Rick McClure, on view throughJuly 10, 2011.McClure has been painting for morethan 25 years.

These gestures arean invitation to come in, to share what we already know, this familiar feeling underneaththe veil of thought.

Mostly paintingin oil, she does venture into mixed-mediaexpression but she always returns to thelusciousness of the quality of oil whichshe has become addicted to, she says.Duckworth’s work for the last twentyfiveyears has been a culmination of herfeelings about life and her personal journeyof love and sorrow and the ever-presentquestion of inner work and relationshipto something hidden.The Real Estate Studio is the downtownoffice of Dunes Properties, aboutique real estate, vacation rental andproperty management company servingthe Charleston area since 1989.

During hisundergraduate courses, he studied for oneyear in Italy, followed by another yearin England, after receiving a very competitive,college-wide scholarship. Whilein England, he worked alongside manyprolific potters, including Svend Bayerand Clive Bowen, which heavily influencedhis direction as an artist, taking upfunctional pottery as a means of personalexpression.Sand completed a three-year apprenticeshipwith Mark Hewitt in 2009. Whilefinishing his apprenticeship at Hewitt Pottery,he was featured in Craft in America.He now resides in Randleman, NC. Hiswork combines the styles of traditional,Southern alkaline glazeware and EastAsian design, among others. Using awood-fired kiln, both salt- and ash-glazedwares are produced.“I aspire to create items that willadorn people’s homes that they can enjoy,whether they use it or just appreciate itas a piece of art,” says Sand. “Bringingpeople happiness through my work playsa central role in my artistic endeavor.Currently, I am focusing my efforts onmaking utilitarian ware along with larger,decorative items. I select local clay that Iknow will react well and glazes that willbe enhanced by slips to create beautifulpatterns in a salt-fired atmosphere. Specialattention is paid to the placement of piecesthroughout the kiln to achieve the desiredresults. By carrying on a tradition createdby Bernard Leach, passed down to MichaelCardew, and then to Mark Hewitt,who has shared it with me, I am lookingat the past, adding all the skills and ideasI’ve been taught, creating something newand interesting, of beauty and vibrancy.”Works by Joseph Sand“Currently, I am working on a series ofnew glazes showing an array of colors andtexture that will enhance the pottery formsthat I make,” adds Sand. “Utilizing mynewly created test glaze kiln, which waspartly funded using a grant that I receivedfrom the United Arts Council of GreaterGreensboro, I have tested numerousglazes in search of those select few thatreally make my pots exemplary.”Joseph Sand Pottery located nearRandleman is now up and running, andSand is making functional and sculpturalpottery full-time.

The Dream Life of BrokenToys is Farfán’s MFA thesis work.Farfán is known for her surrealistic ceramictoys, marionettes, puppets and dolls.Her pieces illustrate her observationsabout our ambivalent human condition –manipulated, fragile, impotent, vulnerableand isolated – countered by the ability tofind hope.The Toy Republic, Farfán explains, is“my perception of the world as a child,when I imagined a three-tiered hierarchyof social order. In my vision, there wererulers who issued commands from highaltars, dutiful servants sitting in oversizedchairs who enforced those orders and,at the bottom of society, the vulnerablemasses constantly searching for the placewhere they belong. This is a portrait ofan imaginary nation.” She welcomes thepublic to participate in the life of hernation, picturing themselves as one of thecharacters and thinking about their rolein society, their influence on the peoplearound them and the impact of power onall of us.The idea for The Dream Life of BrokenToys began when a young boy showedFarfán an old toy plane he had repairedand referred to it as “a powerful sky-flier.”Farfán says of the occasion: “That day Irealized that a broken toy is not necessarilyan obstacle to play; rather, it is possibilityfor creativity, for imagining newways of playing.” She continues: “Theyears have passed swiftly, but still thissingle memory persists for me. If only itwas possible to turn back time and rebuildtoys, not only theirs but also my own, thenthe lives and dreams of many, many toysmight be renewed.”Born in Bogatá, Colombia, DianaFarfán received her BFA at the NationalUniversity of Colombia and her MFAin Ceramics at the University of SouthCarolina. Her 2D and 3D works have beenshown and received awards in a numberof exhibitions in places that include Colombia,the United States and Taiwan.701 CCA is a non-profit visual artscenter that promotes understanding, appreciationand enjoyment of contemporaryart, the creative process and the role of artand artists in the community.

Hicks remains very activein the regional arts community and continuesher explorations into contemporary art as anindependent curator and patron of the arts.About the exhibition, Hicks said, “In thisshow, the artists have focused on the conceptof adornment to supplement the museum’sconcurrent exhibit on the history of tattooing.Sometimes even simple things becomecomplex when seen through the artist’s eye.Hear the word, tattoo, and instantly an imageforms. Leave aside the fact that the dictionaryhas several definitions of the word, onlythe last of which has to do with skin art, andthe average person will think of ink on skin.”Hicks continued, “While tattooing is, afterall, a means of adorning the body, it is onlyone means. We have clothes, jewelry, makeup,hair styles and on and on. We adorn ourcars, our homes, our workplaces, practicallyeverything. Even entire cities adorn themselvesto create an image. The artists in thisshow have considered these and many otherfacets of adornment and invite you to ponderPage 22 - Carolina Arts, July 2011so hard.

This art, like all thebest art, asks questions that only the viewercan answer.”A History of Tattooing in South Carolinaexhibit is representative of the very diversecultural reactions to this art form. Tattooinghas been practiced by the Native Americansin this area since prehistoric times. WithinSouth Carolina the reputation of tattoos hasevolved from sinister convict symbols andthe bazaar circus performer to the pride ofones military service. Today tattoos are moresocially acceptable, South Carolinians seetattoos worn by everyone from celebritiesto suburban moms. As tattoos have becomemore visible in the mainstream population,the works of the tattoo artists have becomemore detailed and elaborate. Those modernwearers of tattoos refer to their tattoos astheir “deeply personal art collection”. Thatsentiment was the inspiration for this exhibit.Work by Addam DuncanA History of Tattooing in South Carolinaexhibit is set in a timeline. It starts with anexample of an early Native American styletattooing bundle to show the types of toolsused. Indigenous people wore tattoo designsprimarily composed of circles and lines.Sailors and world travelers brought tattooswith human and animal images, introducingthem to this area.This exhibition will tell the South Carolinahistory of tattooing with materials fromthe life and times of two esteemed SouthCarolina tattoo artists, Paul Rogers andcontinued above on next column to the rightTable of ContentsWilliam Grimshaw. Courtesy of the TattooArchive in Winston Salem, NC, a Paul Rogerscollection of photographs, original flash(multiple designs to a sheet of tattooists’drawings) and memorabilia will be on display.Other items come courtesy of JeremyJoachim of Hot Stuff Tattoo in Asheville,NC, whose collection of original WilliamGrimshaw flash will also be on exhibit.The works of contemporary South Carolinatattoo artists; those who will carry this artform into the future, will illustrate how muchtattooing has evolved. Today, tattoo artists donot create pages and pages of flash, insteadthey create at most only a line drawing fortheir client. Some even skip the line drawingand go directly to what they consider the“real” canvas – the human skin. To show theuniqueness of their particular style on occasionthe modern tattoo artists create singledesigns in pastels, charcoal, color pencil,acrylic or watercolor and these are what willbe displayed. The works of eighteen tattooartists representing nine tattoo studios will bean exciting part of this exhibit.The A History of Tattooing in SouthCarolina, exhibition was curated by HelenHockwalt of the Pickens County Museum ofArt and History and Consulting Curator C.W.Eldridge of the Tattoo Archive of WinstonSalem, NC.J.

With sensitivityto light and texture, Kelley’s workappreciates the classic and respects thecontemporary both in process and subjectmatter. The images he produces documentmoments in time, with a cross betweenfine art and documentary perspectives.This exhibit will display Kelley’s explorationof the Polaroid transfer process.Transfers are created through an unorthodoxuse of the film. These images weremade with Polaroid film type 669. ThePolaroid is exposed through the use of acolor slide and enlarging printer. The processof Polaroid transfers consists of twoparts, the image transfer and the emulsiontransfer.The image transfer involves removingthe exposed negative from the undevelopedpositive. The negative image side isthen placed onto a chosen surface (paper,canvas, glass, wood, etc.) with pressingmotion. The backing is then carefullyremoved from the surface leaving a positiveimage.Emulsion transfers are created by usinga fully developed Polaroid positive. Thephotograph is immersed into hot water untilthe surface begins to blister. The imageis then removed into cold water, where thethin gelatinous surface is removed fromthe paper backing. The image layer isthen cleaned and transferred to the chosensurface. During this step, the image canbe distorted through stretching, tearing,321Lenoir64MorgantonShelby18181864321421I-402861874N.

Much recent work isdone outside, rather than in the studio.Landscape and seascape are favorites, yetFaudree is constantly trying new subjectsand techniques.Since 1990, Anne Cunningham hasbeen on an exciting exploration using metalssuch as copper, brass and aluminum tocreate large and small free-form shapes.“Every day is an experiment” - discoveringnew ways to texturize and shape themetals, layering with papers, weaving cutstrips, applying inks, dyes, chemicals andpaints.

In thisshow, the World Trade Center (WTC)appears transfigured in murals on thesurface of other buildings, reincarnated inassemblages of scraps and remains, andinscribed on the very skin of those whomourn and remember.”According to Lasch, Hyman’s photographs“capture largely impermanent,spontaneous expressions created andencountered by people in their everydaylives.”photography with painting, sculpture, tattooing,and other media employed by hundredsof individuals who created the WTCmemorials represented in their specificsocial contexts. Unlike much other workproduced and compiled around 9/11/2001,Hyman’s archive enables a multi-layereddialogue about issues that go far beyondthis specific subject, such as public andprivate memory, violence, corporate spectacleand vernacular aesthetics, art andsocial class, race and sexuality, patriotismand nationalism.Lasch also offers, “Many of the imageproducers involved in this archive’scomplex assemblage do not considerthemselves artists, but all are committedto the importance of remembering 9/11through material representations that exceedlanguage, writing, and the ubiquitouselectronic media associated with the videoloops of the crashing and smoking Towers.As we enter the second decade afterthe tragedy of 2001 and its military responses,we may also reestablish the valueof material culture and memory. Havingalready disappeared as physical objects,most of the memorials documented byHyman were also ignored by TV and othermedia of the digital age.”“How are we to always remember,if we let the few archives representingthese vernacular memorials disappearalong with them?,” adds Lasch. “Whenthose honoring their dead with tattoos areburied, and every mural has been paintedover, what buildings and bodies willhouse their memory? The WTC attackswill surely never be forgotten, but withoutarchives such as Hyman’s our collectivememory will be shaped exclusively by themonotony of state monuments, and thegeneralizations of mass media.”Produced by the Duke University RareBook, Manuscript, and Special CollectionsLibrary, Flesh and Metal, Bodiesand Buildings is part of a cycle of eventscommemorating the tenth anniversary of9/11 at Duke University.

GregoryD. Ivy Gallery, Through Aug. 7 - "Encore!:Japanese Actor Prints from the Permanent Collection".During the early 1700s in Japan, a newform of artistic expression known as ukiyo-e—orfloating world pictures—developed. Ukiyo-e oftendepicted the escapist and ephemeral pleasuresoffered at the time by the entertainment districtsof the cities of Edo (present-day Tokyo) andOsaka. Although very different in character, twopopular forms of entertainment were Noh andKabuki theater. While Noh plays demonstratedan economy of expression and limited repertoire,Kabuki theaters were lively places to see andbe seen. Kabuki plays provided a day’s worth ofentertainment, offering the latest fashion trendsand newest music in addition to engaging storiesperformed by famous actors who held the almosticonic stature that actors today possess.

One of most astoundingart discoveries in decades, Raleigh outsiderRenaldo Kuhler labored in secret for more than60 years, using the power of his own imaginationand keen drafting skills honed over decadesas a scientific illustrator for the NC Museum ofNatural Sciences, to bring the imaginary countryof Rocaterrania into existence. Located betweenCanada and northern New York, Rocaterraniais a tiny nation of eastern Europeans that hasbeen fraught with political turmoil since the early1930s. Under the rule of empresses, czars,dictators and premieres, it slowly developedfrom a monarchy into a nation that is (paradoxically)fascist about individualism.

Dramatic spectaclehad given way to pervasive loss - a condition farless tangible and more difficult to photograph.And then, despite my original intentions not to,I began to take photographs. A large part of theneighborhood had already disappeared and therest was in danger of being hauled away. WhatI found and what I photographed weren’t simplythe remnants of a dilapidated and dangerousneighborhood now demolished by a hurricane,but the vestiges of a working-class communityin which aspiration contended with scarcity, andwhere religious faith found expression on everyblock".

Oregon-born,Brooklyn-based artist Alex Hubbard creates videodocuments of his raw, experimental, and at timesabsurd, art-making. Like real-time laboratoriesplayed out across tabletops, pedestals and a’91 Ford Tempo, he moves through an arrayof materials in a process that marries painting,sculpture, performance and assemblage. In thevideo "Weekend Pass" (2008), a tire, bowlingball, hot plate, shards of dry wall, plates of wax, ablock of clay and a Molotov cocktail all share timeupon a pedestal encircled by a video camera.And while the acts and objects are highly palpable,Hubbard presents only the process of theirmaking – displacing the tangible product with hisslapstick acts of fabrication and deconstruction.For this exhibition, SECCA will present a seriesof his videos alongside a newly commissionedperformance that adds new dimension to amesmerizingly visceral practice. July 8 - Sept.18 - "The People’s Biennial," organized & Touredby Independent Curators International (ICI); andcurated by Harrell Fletcher & Jens Hoffmann.The exhibit is a response to the fact that manyso-called “national” exhibitions in the UnitedStates focus primarily on art from a few majorcities. An even larger problem is the art world’sexclusivity, which has turned the spaces whereart is produced and exhibited into privilegedhavens detached from the realities of everydaylife. In contrast, this exhibition will display workoriginating from overlooked locales by artistswho have not had significant exposure. Fivegeographically widespread institutions have beenselected to participate: The Portland Institute ofContemporary Art; The Scottsdale Museum ofContemporary Art; The Southeastern Center forContemporary Art; Haverford College in Haverford,PA; and The Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City,SD. The curators will visit each community tochoose five artists who will then contribute workto a nationally-touring exhibition accompaniedby a full-color catalogue. As both exhibition andexperiment, "The People’s Biennial" offers amodel for community-based, grassroots projectsto live and thrive on a national stage. ThroughAug. 28 - "Margarita Cabrera," organized bySECCA and curated by Steven Matijcio. Cabrerais an El Paso, TX-based sculptor whose painstakinglyhandcrafted objects address timely andprovocative issues related to border relationsand Mexican immigration – particularly economicexchange, dislocation, and notions of the “Americandream.” Turning crafts and their manufactureinto the vehicle for socio-political consideration,she questions contemporary applications of post-NAFTA Latin American labor. To do so, Cabreracreates soft, Oldenberg-like vinyl sculptures thatresemble everything from backpacks, bicyclesand potted plants to domestic appliances,pianos, and full-sized automobiles. Throughoutthe process (she also uses clay, ceramic andtextiles), Cabrera works with displaced immigrantcommunities – organizing workshops and “artcorporations” to reconsider the gulf betweenthird world mass production and first world massconsumption. In the process, Cabrera entwinesart, activism and education as seemingly benignconsumer objects become the vessels of culturaladaptation. Through Aug. 21 - "AmericanGothic: Aaron Spangler & Alison Elizabeth Taylor,"organized by SECCA and curated by StevenMatijcio. SECCA explores quasi-historical usesof wood as a contemporary artistic medium in thedialogue between Minnesota-based Aaron Spanglerand Alabama-born, Las Vegas-based AlisonElizabeth Taylor. Marrying historical traditions,craft techniques, and subject matter spanning theunflinching to the apocalyptic, these young artistspropose a renovated portrait of the Americanheartland. With large, intricate bas-reliefs carvedout of three-inch slabs of basswood, Spanglercreates darkly comic visions of post-apocalypticruin. In scenes that appear to be set in a remote,Appalachian region where crumbling buildingsand wrecked cars meet dense forest andtowering trees, he imagines a post-industrialfuture through a medieval lens. A slightly moremonotonous, seedy world plays out in the woodveneers of Taylor, who breathes new life into thevenerable inlay technique known as marquetry.Rather than using the practice as it has beenused in the past (to glorify patrons and ornamenthomes), she crafts ambiguous vignettes ofcharacters living on the fringes of society.
