Artists' Book Month II: The World is a Scandal
June 6 through June 28, 2024
BravinLee Programs
526 West 26th Street #211 NY, NY 10001  

BravinLee is pleased to present Artists' Book Month II The World is a Scandal. BravinLee has been exhibiting artists' books forever.

The artist book reveals artists at their most unguarded, and authentically personal.  The artist shares an intimate sequence of moments.  As inauthenticity prospers and pan-Fascism rears its head and blurs the line between reality and nightmare, the simple honest tangibilty of the artist book is a refuge.

Fictions
Solo Exhibition
June 1 through August 17, 2024
Guldner Gallery, Kansas City Public Library
14 W. 10th Street, Kansas City, MO

’Fictions’, is a solo show of recent and newly created works from the series made by deconstructing and reconstructing paperback books.

From the press release, “The Brooklyn-based artist creates sculptural collages out of deconstructed paperbacks found at thrift stores or used book sales. These books, in genres such as science fiction, action/adventure, or romance, are chosen for a color or texture that resonates, or a title or phrase that attracts the eye.”

”Burgay’s research and practice expands our understanding beyond typical collage techniques. Even the glue itself is not simply a hidden component, but an important character in these dramas, holding together the tiny bits and pieces of these fragile stories. Fictions could alternatively be read as lyrical ‘poems’ – not explicit but implicit– ambiguous and unresolved, but essential and familiar.'“

This dream of an exhibition fulfills an important goal I’ve had for this series, bringing the books back to a library or bookstore, taking them full circle to their initial source of inspiration.

it’s a small world
April 20 through June 1, 2024
Hardy & Nance Studios, Shadow Box
902 Hardy St., Houston, TX

idiom—used to show surprise when one meets someone one knows at an unexpected place or finds out that one shares a friend, acquaintance, etc., with another person (Merriam Webster Dictionary)

And what about when one shares a feeling, or an idea, an object, or an image; how universal and accessible so much can be in this world, especially in the current age of technology. People are so easily connected to one another, even while living thousands of miles apart. This show is about all of that and more.

To demonstrate the theme, “it’s a small world”, curator Chasity Porter, and 11 other artists from Texas and New York were tasked with creating a small work on 8 x 10” portrait oriented paper, while incorporating at least 3 of 5 preselected elements, hand-picked by Chasity’s 12 year old daughter.

Curated by: Chasity Porter

Featuring work by:
Amara Hartman, Anastasia Kirages, Andrea Burgay, Brittnee Lavender, Cedric Wilson, Danielle Gallo, Danita VanHoose, Elisse Gachupin, Jill Hakala, Mortimer Ex, Ruben Ramires, and Chasity Porter

Souvenir
June 30 through December 27, 2023
Albany International Airport
Website: Souvenir Exhibition

Albany International Airport is thrilled to host Souvenir, an exhibition that celebrates and expands upon a partnership with Cut Me Up magazine, and its unique collage-centered directive, through December 27, 2023 in its post-security Concourse A Gallery.

Souvenir was conceived and curated by Albany Airport Art & Culture Program Director Kathy Greenwood, and this is the first in-person exhibition of the magazine’s entries. In the spirit of offering a more expansive view of souvenirs, this exhibition also includes some specially invited guests.

The artists Katharine Umsted and Cut Me Up’s founder, Andrea Burgay, both independently created a series of works based upon postcards that they called Wish You Were Here. Michael Oatman produced Stella by Starlight out of two seemingly unrelated souvenirs, Frank Stella’s 1971 MoMA retrospective catalog, and Astronomy, a British astronomy textbook from 1966. Oatman’s compositions and their relationship to his life-long interest in space travel serve as potent companions to the souvenir collection of Albany Airport’s very own Virgil Sager. Since he was a boy, Sager has been compiling news articles and memorabilia about space travel, and a portion of his vast and interesting collection is on view here.

As the Airport marks the 25th Anniversary of its Art & Culture Program in 2023, it seems fitting to reflect upon the way that objects and images can remind us of the places we’ve been as well as those we long to see.

Participating artists: Patty Armstrong, Todd Bartel, Sharon Bates, Jac Batey, Andrea Burgay, Dan Cameron, Laura Cannamela, Cheryl Chudyk, Monica Church, Sandra D. Dwileski, Susan Graham, Everest Hood, Tim Janchar, Stephenie Knight, Iain Machell, Emily Marbach, Anthony Naimo, Michael Oatman (individually and in collaboration) with Tom Roland, Bradley Parsons, Lori Petchers, Gaetano Rizzi, Lydia Selk, Lisa Sheets, Amy Talluto, Katharine Umsted, Stephanie Statham Witchger

Academy of Fine Arts in Kolkata 2, Cathedral Road
Maidan, Kolkata, West Bengal, India 700020
Website: Unconnected Yet

Curated by Todd Bartel, Daniela Esponda, Teri Henderson & Talin Megherian

Unconnected Yet is an exhibition about the junction between things--creativity that explores a combination of art and science or cross-curricular inquiry. It explores art that points to the gap: things to be connected, something to be spanned, a subject to better understand, an unexperienced phenomenon, an unnamed or unseen thing, something that has not yet occurred, or something unexplainable. Artists were asked to "Imagine the world you want to live in as it yet could be. What would you connect if you could?"

Unconnected Yet assembles the work of 64 collage-based artists from 10 countries via printed facsimiles of the artwork selected. Unconnected Yet links the art and science communities of Boston, Kolkata, and beyond, bringing art from near and far to five galleries at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kolkata, India.

Corporeal Gestures – An International Exhibition of Contemporary Collage
April 4-29, 2022
Opening April 7th, 5pm-7pm
School of Architecture, Shattuck Hall 2nd Floor
1914 SW Park Avenue [use NW entry]
Portland State University
Portland, OR 97201

In 2019 local collage maker Clive Knights put out an international call for submissions of new work from collage artists, asking them to respond to nine “muses,” characterized as the bodily necessities of breathing, nourishing, sleeping, discharging waste, procreating, resisting the earth’s pull, communicating, aging and dying. The result is ‘Corporeal Gestures: An International Exhibition of Contemporary Collage,’ a curated collection of work by more than 100 collage artists from 21 countries.

The work presents a diverse response to the ways in which our actions, rhythms, relationships and shared experience of being alive are both predetermined and made possible by the modicum of matter borrowed from the world that constitutes each of our bodies. The project challenged collage artists to consider how one’s body is activated in the world – acting, gesturing, making – amidst the shared rhythms pertaining to our common, mortal predicament in a single, unfolding cosmos. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.

On exhibit throughout the 2nd floor of Shattuck Hall will be enlarged representations of 114 collages submitted by collage artists from as far away as Australia, Brazil, Ukraine and 18 other countries, including many from the USA.

Neuroanatomy: An exhibition of collage
May 15 through June 27, 2021
Opening May 15, 2021
Stone Valley Arts at Fox Hill 145 East Main Street, Poultney, VT

“This exhibition of 67 pieces of seemingly disparate art by 29 different artists shows material evidence that our brains are co-constructed by our interactions with the social landscape of a particular place and time. Neuroanatomy makes experience material. All aspects of the cultural systems that we participate in infuse themselves into our neurobiology, sharing how we perceive and interact with the world. One of the artists in the exhibit, Todd Bartel, has coined the term uncollage for the variety of ways that artists can create a composite image. This is an ongoing dialogue that expands the concept of collage in ways in which cut paper and glue are no longer the binding agent for creation of meaning through the joining of images and material into a unified visual statement. In defining his term, Todd states, ‘Why the need for a new word? If we begin a dialogue about the context of what an artist uses to make a composite image, then we engage in the broader ramifications of collage, which is always about connectivity.”
