New York State of Mind No.22 / Fun!

This photograph, by my dear friend Roca, was taken last friday on the “Grounds for Sculpture” show, Hamilton, NJ.  A couple of hours driving from New York.  The image is depicting life size sculptures pretending to be an ‘impressionist painting’, and me pretending to be part of it by incorporating myself into the whole…pretension.

New York State of Mind No.19 / Folsom Street Fair 2014

This picture, by my dear friend RoCa, was taken in front of a billboard at a sidewalk level on the "Folsom Street Fair" in New York City, last Sunday.
She managed to create the 'illusion' of 'real me' stepping out of the poster, leaving behind an empty silhouette. The very artistic eye of the beholder!

The accompanying panel discussion will serve as a platform to engage artists, scholars, practitioners, and the public in a lively dialogue on the exhibition themes, with a focus on the role visual arts can play in promoting social equity. The panel discussion and opening reception will take place the evening of Tuesday, November 12, 2013.

The award-winning artists confirmed for the exhibition is a supremely talented group, that includes: Argentinean photographer and Proyecto Luz founder Sol Aramendi; Mexican painter and multi-media artist Andrea Arroyo; Colombian collage and mixed-media artist Maria Berrio; and Puerto Rican painter and collage artist Rodriguez Calero.

EN PAPEL showcases the breadth and scope of recently-produced imagery emerging from Latino printmaking studios throughout the US. The exhibit traces provocative delineations of the Latino body politic as expressed through the artists' reflections of the world(s) they inhabit.

Consejo Grafico is an independent network of print studios that was formed to advance the legacy and viability of printmaking in the United States. The Consejo promotes collaboration as a condition to further the preservation and continuity of the critical/activist orientation that spearheaded Latino printmaking. This network spans the nation and includes works from Texas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more.
