SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Survival Tools for the Age of Ultra Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception for the group exhibition Survival Tools for the Age of Ultra Anxiety hosted by Culture Lab LIC at Plaxall Gallery. View full exhibition information at this website. RSVP on Facebook. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition “Survival Tools for the Age of Ultra Anxiety” takes as its premise the state of ultra-anxiety our culture is functioning within due to the pandemic and worldwide social and economic upheaval. It questions whether our endlessly competitive society\, which rewards selfish behavior over altruism\, has given us the tools needed to survive or whether artists are needed to lead us away from the brink of extinction. \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists: \n\n\n\nAmy Fung-yi Lee\, Birgit Rathmann\, Case Jernigan\, Claire Chambless\, Daniel Mantilla\, Demarco Mosby\, Dongjun Kim\, Esteban Agosin\, J. Triangular\, Jee Park\, Jess Blaustein\, Joseph Morris\, Keun-Young Park\, Kimberly Lyle\, Kim Sandra Lazaro Juan & Jordon Schranz\, Mark Rice\, Matthew Garrison\, Nicki Cherry\, Noa Yekutieli\, Pauline Galiana\, Sana Musasama\, Silliam Bims\, SiSi Chen\, Stacy Bogdonoff\, Travis Childers\, Wieteke Heldens\, Will Kaplan \n\n\n\nCurated by Jeju Island Artist Collective: Eunsun Choi / Kyung-jin Kim / Yeon jin Kim

SUMMARY:Spatial Politics of Control workshop with Claire Chambless
DESCRIPTION:This workshop by Claire Chambless is part of the Group Exhibition Survival Tools for the Age of Ultra Anxiety held at Culture Lab LIC at Plaxall Gallery. Share on Facebook. \nHow do the spatial politics of urban environments and institutional spaces within and outside art contexts reinforce systems of oppression? Do the spaces we inhabit influence our sense of self? Can architecture and object placement impact how comfortable we feel? This workshop will use communal movement-based practices to explore the way bodies can work together to shift power relations in public spaces. We will begin with a guided meditation and group consciousness exercise to share diverse perceptions of architectural devices and crowd control objects. We will then move into a movement practice where we collectively use our bodies to explore strategies of anti-authoritarian space making. This workshop is a continuation of work begun in 2019 where the artist borrowed then reconfigured\, NYPD crowd control barriers in Brooklyn. \nClaire Chambless (b.1989\, Houston\, TX) is a sculptor whose practice encompasses object-making\, photography\, video and installation. She received her MFA in Art from the California Institute of the Arts\, Valencia\, CA in 2020 and completed her undergraduate studies in 2012 at Davidson College\, Davidson\, NC. Her work has been shown in museums\, galleries and public spaces\, including the the MAK Center Mackey Apartments; Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia\, Atlanta; California Institute of the Arts\, Valencia\, CA; Serious Projects\, Los Angeles; TZ Projects\, Los Angeles; La MaMa Gallery\, New York\, NY; Michael David & Co.\, New York; UCLA’s New Wight Biennial\, Los Angeles; among others. She was a 2017-2018 Walthall Fellow\, and is the founder of commons\, a Los Angeles-based space and knowledge sharing project that organizes exhibitions\, performances\, screenings and reading groups. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with  Esteban Agosin\, J. Triangular\, Kimberly Lyle\, Mark Rice\, and Noa Yekutieli

He is currently pursuing his doctorate in Digital Arts and Experimental Media\, University of Washington\, Seattle\, United States (DXARTS). \nHis main interest is the research and development of artistic and experimental practices about the human interpretation of the sound environment and the perspectives that technology provides to understand the world through technological systems and devices. It is motivated by how technologies have extended the human limits\, providing tools to reach other layers of information of our physical environment\, which were out of reach of our human biology. His particular research is regarding the relationship between the human and the machine\, and how technologies and devices act as an interface that extends our human abilities\,  allowing the amplification of our perception\, therefore transforming\, changing\, or even degrading the information that comes from the environment\, providing new interpretations or meanings of the world\, and also creating new scenarios\, symbols\,  and realities mediated by the technology itself. This artistic research is expressed in experimental processes and creations related to robotic\, electronic objects\, installations and performances. \nJ. Triangular is a visual artist\, multimedia poet\, and social activist. Colombia Born\, Taiwan Based.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with  Amy Fung-yi Lee\, Keun-Young Park\, Sana Musasama\, Stacy Bogdonoff\, SiSi Chen and Pauline Galiana
DESCRIPTION:This artist talk is part of the Group Exhibition Survival Tools for the Age of Ultra Anxiety held at Culture Lab LIC at Plaxall Gallery. Share on Facebook. \n \nAmy Fung-yi Lee makes work to stitch her experience between the personal\, historical\, and social. She is interested in abstracting her experience through the body\, materiality\, and visual scale\, often working on paper. Lee was born in New Jersey and grew up between the US and Taiwan\, China\, and Saudi Arabia. She completed her MFA at Hunter College and BA at Stanford University\, and has exhibited her work in New York and California. She is currently living in New York.   \n  \nKeun-Young Park was born in Seoul\, South Korea\, where she received her BFA and MFA Degrees in Sculpture at Seoul National University. Since 2005\, Park has lived in New York and has developed her unique photo-collage work reflecting upon the astatic character of existence in the flow of time and attempting to capture the tremor of unstable presence. She had twelveth solo exhibition in 2019 and has had numerous group shows in the United states\, Europe and Asia. Park received awards from A.I.R. Gallery\, Artist Talk on Art\, and the New Jersey State Council of the Arts\, as well as residencies with Vermont Studio Residency Program and Triangle Arts Workshop.   \n  \n  \n  \n \nSana Musasama received her BA from City College of New York in 1973 and her MFA from Alfred University\, New York in 1988. Sana received the 2018 Achievement Award from the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts for her years of teaching and her humanitarian work with victims of sex trafficking in Cambodia. Sana is the coordinator of the Apron Project\, a sustainable entrepreneurial project for girls and young women reintegrated back into society after being forced into sex trafficking. In 2016\, she was a guest speaker on “Activism through Art” at ROCA. A recently published article by Cliff Hocker\, “If I can Help Somebody: Sana Musasama’s Art of Healing” appears in the International Review of African American Art. In 2015\, the Museum of Art and Design in New York selected four works from The Unspeakable Series for their private collection; Sana was awarded the ACLU of Michigan Art Prize 7 and Art Prize 8. In 2002\, she was awarded Anonymous Was a Women and in 2001\, Sana was featured in the 2001 Florence Biennial.

Sana lives and works in New York.  \n \n  \nStacy Bogdonoff is a NYC and CT. based\, mixed media artist.  She creates two- and three-dimensional art using a wide range of materials and techniques: used craft and 100% rag paper\, industrial and vintage textiles\, wire\, flax\, rust\, and  digital printing.  She works with single strands of embroidery silk\, and foot long steel upholstery needles.  Her tools include a wooden table loom\, a commercial clothes rack\, and a 96 lb. metal rolling mill. She divides her time between her small tabletop studio in NYC and a larger ‘mess’ of a studio in northwest Connecticut.  She is an active member of TSGNY (Textile Study Group of New York) and the SDA (Surface Design Association) and exhibits regularly in New England\, NYC\, Westchester\, and Hudson Valley galleries. Bogdonoff’s art explores concepts of loss\, vulnerability\, illness\, aging\, and downsizing.  Her current work explores the theme of “Home and Shelter” and\, she says\, “I am struck by how both fragile and resilient our homes are; how we are born into one and how our definition of it changes as we age\, lose people\, and alter relationships.” She says\, “I’ve never wondered about my identity.  I am an artist and I live to make art.  This certainty has always been with me and\, except for family and friends\, the most constant and rewarding part of my being.” \n  \nSiSi Chen (b. 1987) is based in Brooklyn\, NY. She received a BFA from Laguna College of Art and Design (CA\, 2012) and an MFA from Hunter College (NY\, 2021) where she presented her thesis exhibition Some Greater Sum in March\, 2021. She was an Artist-in-Residence at Ox-Bow (MI\, 2014)\, The League Residency at Vytlacil (NY\, 2016)\, and currently in the ceramics department at Hunter College. She is the Director of Trestle Gallery where she most recently curated Choreography for an Unfamiliar Here and Not Just Another Anthropocenic Love Story. She was awarded the inaugural Eva Hesse Prize for Excellence at Hunter College in 2021. \n  \nPauline Galiana was born in Algiers and grew up in Switzerland and then France. She received her MFA at ESAG in Paris in 1984\, and has a Christie’s Art Business Certificate. Her work has been exhibited at the New York Public Library; Memorial Sloan Kettering Gallery Brooklyn; Kentler International Drawing Space in Brooklyn; the Columbus Museum\, Columbus\, GA; Drawing Rooms Art Center\, NJ; Durham Arts Council\, NC; Islip Art Museum\, NY; New York Institute of Technology; Chashama Gallery\, NYC; Robert Henry Contemporary Gallery\, Bushwick; Baron Boisanté Gallery\, NYC; and the Ramis Barquet Gallery\, Mexico among others. Pauline Galiana works simultaneously on distinct bodies of work\, from collages to paintings and drawings\, from ephemeral installations to small-scale sculptures. The work often addresses the broad theme of deconstruction versus reconstruction and of hybridization. It combines noble and mundane materials; it expresses instinctive states of mind with formal compositions\, using obsessive and meditative processes\, meticulous planning\, and patient execution\, sometimes with rigorous grids.

SUMMARY:Finding Poetry Workshop by Will Kaplan
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of the Group Exhibition Survival Tools for the Age of Ultra Anxiety held at Culture Lab LIC at Plaxall Gallery. Share on Facebook. \nIn this workshop\, writing artist Will Kaplan will lead participants in creating found poems from different printed materials. With textbook\, instruction manual\, and art-book pages at our disposal\, we will color over or cut out words and phrases to create unique poems both visually and lyrically engaging. This dada-ist practice nettles our notions of ownership and authority\, favoring instead whimsy\, collaboration\, and chance. A limited supply of frames will be available for participants to mount and display their new poems. \nWill Kaplan combines different mediums\, techniques\, and text to probe boundaries. This New Jersey native grew up exploring highway hemmed nature preserves; tensions between the organic and the human-made manifest in his work. His practice incorporates silkscreen and woodcut printmaking\, paper and found object collage\, watercolor and acrylic painting\, and artist’s books and writing.  After graduating Skidmore College in 2017\, Kaplan has made a new home in Queens\, a rich setting in which to explore these themes.  His work has appeared in Vellum Magazine\, on the walls of Local Project\, and with ABC No Rio. In addition to organizing shows in alternative spaces\, he currently serves as a board member at the Manhattan Graphics Center\, and works as a carpenter and art-handler.
