Opening July 27, 2023

Artists Talking: Conversationsin Paper and Paint

Where: A group show at the  Marcia Wood Gallery, Atlanta, through September 15

About: Conventional thinking is that artists work on paper to develop ideas and then turn to canvas or panel to see them through. Sometimes that is the case. For many artists, however, working on paper is a parallel pursuit, complete in its own right. In this summer exhibition, we draw from both camps. The conversations range from quiet dialogues to raucous back-and-forths.

Online: The Exquisite Corpse

The Surrealist drawing game has been updated by Deanna Sirlin, artist and editor of the Atlanta-based The Art Section, an online journal of art and cultural commentary. Sirlin invited 28 artists to contribute a body part--head, torso, or lower extremity--which she then put together into nine exquisite corpses (or cadavres exquise, as the Surrealists called them). 

Writes Sirlin: "The history of this process dates from 1925, when Yves Tanguy, Jacques Prévert, André Breton, and Marcel Duchamp created a poem collectively. Each wrote down a noun, an adjective, a verb, an adverb, and an object to create a sentence. The line of poetry that resulted was, “Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouvea” (“the exquisite corpse will drink the new wine”). Le Cadavre Exquis /The Exquisite Corpse was born. Visual artists adopted the process and made Exquisite Corpse drawings. Each artist added a body part by drawing or collaging, folding or covering the paper so the next artist could not see what was done before."

My chromatic torso is shown here, sandwiched between Lesley Dill's head and David Humphrey;s legs. You can read and see more here.

American Abstract Artists: Digital Prints, 2012-2019 traveled to numerous academic galleries and museums in the United. It is now viewable online.

This exhibition includes the 75th Anniversary Print Portfolio and the 2019 suite of Digital Monoprints.

Since its first exhibition in 1937, American Abstract Artists has used printmaking as a platform to both introduce and document the work of its members and to expand the vocabulary of abstraction to an ever-increasing audience. This print portfolio tradition began with the celebration of the organization’s first anniversary and was followed decades later by marking AAA’s fiftieth, sixtieth, and seventy-fifth anniversaries. 

Online: Stripes--the whole idea 

Stripes, curated by Edith Newhall, is the second in a series of online exhibitions presented by American Abstract Artist. This exhibition, which examines the history and endless possibilities of the stripe in abstract art, features works by Gabriele Evertz, James Juszczyk, Don Porcaro, Mary Schiliro, Melissa Staiger, Kim Uchiyama, and myself.

Curator Edith Newhall is a writer, independent curator, and art critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
