ANN WIMSATT Keep it With You
LISA BULAWSKY Everything Is Still Happening

June 8 – July 27, 2018
Opening Reception & Meet the Artists:
Friday, June 8, 2018, from 5 to 8 pm
Artists Talk: Saturday, June 23rd, 2018 at 4 pm

Ann Wimsatt presents a new series of prints examining the way that iconic architecture lives as fragments, in the individual and collective mind, across time. Multi-disciplinary artist Lisa Bulawsky presents a new series of works using the printed mark as a foundational metaphor for history that is marked by ruptures and continuities of time.

Her work is an exploration of her interest in the way we individually and collectively experience iconic architecture in our memory and imagination. In this new work, she has taken her detailed architecture paintings and set them as fragments in a flowing, imagined space. Per the habits of her architecture work, she has worked back and forth between the real (actual drawing and painting), and the surreal, (computer-aided drawing, painting and printing). The new work continues to examine the way that iconic architecture lives as fragments, in the individual and collective mind, across time. She is a painterly abstractionist whose work widens the boundaries of contemporary representation.

Lisa Bulawsky presents an exhibition of new works on paper titled “Everything Is Still Happening.” Everything Is Still Happening exhibits Bulawsky’s recent and ongoing body of work, NP-C (amor fati). This is a series of collages that considers time as a broken lens, not linear or cyclical but kaleidoscopic. All works in the series are generated from elements of past studio works, invoking forgotten histories. Handprinted works are cut up and collaged onto inkjet prints of newsprint backing sheets – byproducts of the printmaking process. Each collage is a navigation of the terrain suggested by the newsprint image – the color, marginalia, and residue found there. Each collage is also an intervention into the past by current events, both inside and outside of the studio, in the time and place of their making – St. Louis, Missouri between 2015 and the present, 2018.

Public Hours: Tuesday through Friday 11:00 am – 6:00 pm

Edo Rosenblith: Let Me Help You Make A Mural
June 9, 2018 - August 25, 2018

Edo Rosenblith will guide COCA visitors of all ages in creating a site-specific mural, blurring the distinction between artist and audience. Inspired by Rosenblith’s signature black and white wall drawings, the mural will reflect the thoughts, ideas, opinions and expectations expressed through collective visual impressions on COCA’s Millstone Gallery walls. Let Me Help You Make A Mural serves as a visual call and response that evolves over time, where the audience is invited to join the artist in creating a mural. The exhibition marks Rosenblith’s first time-based and community-collaborative work.

Curated by Yvonne Osei, Curator in Residence at COCA, the intention of this exhibition is to dissolve the boundaries between the artist’s private studio and the gallery space, inviting the public to become active participants in both the production and consumption of art.

Meet the Artist Edo Rosenblith at COCA on the following dates:
• COCA Community Open House: Saturday, June 9, 2018, 11am – 1pm
• Drawing Marathon: Saturday, July 14, 2018, 2-4pm
• Drawing Marathon: Saturday, August 4, 2018, 2-4pm

Peter Manion: La Fragua to Vermont: Works on Paper
Closing Reception and Artist Talk
Saturday, May 19, 1- 4pm

Houska Gallery presents a closing reception and artist talk by exhibiting artist Peter Manion. Enjoy new works on paper that have been added for this event while hearing the artist’s impetus for this series.

La Fragua to Vermont: Works on Paper features work by Peter Manion created during his residencies in La Fragua, Belalcazar, Spain, and the Vermont Studio Center. Needing a “flip of the switch” creatively, these experiences provided the isolation Manion needed to reemerge with a new artistic purpose. It was in La Fragua that he started to experiment with his felt and plaster sculptures - allowing him to reexamine his practice as a whole and create a new pace and vocabulary from which to work.

“These works are, in a way, a spirited approach to cataloguing my artist journey; my realization of creative freedom - freedom from a system I had placed upon myself years before. I’ve found my artistic voice, and now is the time to shout it out from this place from which I was born.”

Gallery Talk 5:30 - 6:00 PM 


Far more than interest or mere enthusiasm, obsession speaks of one’s deeper nature.  This all-media exhibition asks artists to dig into true passion - when the significance of a subject becomes immersive. Obsession can take many forms.  Collections and intense repetition are common examples of how a single object made multiple is physical manifestation of an obsession.  No matter how the artist views their own, or others’ obsessions, this exhibition invited artists to display their own interpretation of this concept.

The exhibition runs from May 4 through May 27, 2018.

Vashon through a Lens, at UrbArts, this Friday, May 4. As part of the ongoing partnership between CAM and Vashon, Tiffany Sutton taught portrait photography to the students throughout their third quarter of instruction, beginning in January 2018.

Participating Vashon artists are Paige Wallace, Lewis Dickens, Kamia Williams, Tiona Robinson, Ryan Standley, Jamal Walters, Ahlaya Chavers, Daja Williams, Aubrey Logan, and Jessika Leatherberry.

Since August, 2017, CAM’s Learning and Engagement Department has partnered with Vashon, teaching two sophomore classes introductory art courses through project-based curricula. Vashon fits within CAM’s one-mile-radius initiative, in which staff and local artists work in neighboring schools. Under the leadership of Miriam Ruiz, CAM School and Community Programs Manager, and in coordination with Vashon teacher Tim Jennings, Vashon students have already exhibited their work at the Museum. For the final quarter at Vashon, Lizzy Martinez will instruct the students in mural art. CAM and Vashon High School have agreed to continue their partnership in 2018–19.

Michael Eastman: Southern light - photographs from Buenos Aires
Ethan Meyer: Descending Into Matter
MAY 25TH - JULY 7TH
Opening Reception Friday, MAY 25TH 5-8 pm.

Michael Eastman has established himself as one of the world’s leading contemporary photographic artists. The self-taught photographer is most recognized for his explorations of architectural form and the textures of decay, producing large-scale photographs unified by their visual precision, monumentality, and painterly use of color. Most recently, Eastman traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina to capture some of the city’s most iconic interiors; the result of ambitious and extravagant architectural projects to boast its wealth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. “[His] photographs present a complex tableaux of Buenos Aires’ vibrant history, juxtaposing the splendor of a bygone golden age with present-day realities.”

Ethan Meyer’s work is an obsession with densely intricate patterns that map the inner landscapes of consciousness. As the viewer attempts to chart the patterns, the overall effect is of a space that is both rhythmic and organic. Using markings that are frenetic and spatially dense, Meyer is able to create a web of color that is both transient and hypnotic. Exploring these “landscapes” becomes a visionary and thought provoking experience that plays with surface and organic overtones.
