LOUISE WEINBERG: CONNECT/DISCONNECT
&
La Guardia Community College Alumni Art Exhibition
Curated by Joan Harmon

November 28-December 22, 2012
RECEPTION: NOVEMBER 29, 6:00-8:00 PM

LOUISE WEINBERG: /CONNECT/DISCONNECT/




Louise Weinberg's work is concerned with the ebb and flow of human relationships. The paintings suggest the sometimes ambivalent paths we must navigate in our relationships with others-/closeness/ distance, connection/ disconnection, and containment /freedom/. Much of her past work has focused on the issue of containment -the very basic human desire for the safety of enclosure and structure vs. the terror of entrapment. The images which reoccur in her nebulous abstract paintings -spheres, eggs, buildings, grids, bowls, bottles, jugs serve as metaphors. In /Connect/Disconnect/, Ms. Weinberg has focused on how one navigates the issue of closeness/distance in a relationship. Ms. Weinberg's paintings are Mixed Media on Polymer.

Please join us on November 29th from 6:00-8:00 PM to meet the artist.

"FLUX"
La Guardia Community College Alumni Exhibition at the Phoenix Gallery

"Flux", a group exhibition of five emerging artists who have come out of the Art Department at La Guardia Community College will open at the Phoenix Gallery in Chelsea on November 28 and will continue through December 22, 2012. The exhibition features the work of Young Choi, Lenka Curtin, Tetsuharu Ohno, Yukiko Kobayashi and Jian Tao Ni.

"In each of these artist's work, there is a quality of passage or continuous change: Young Choi's powerful paintings lyrically transform reality and Lenka Curtin's mixed media constructions explode in vibrant entropy. Tetsuharu Ohno and Yukiko Tobayashi's mixed media works are motion caught in delicate suspension and Jian Tao Ni's moving photographic portraits explore the passage of life into death".
