Rekevics (workshop alumni ‘01) will be participating in our first cultural exchange with the city of Le Havre, France. Visit Karlis’ Kickstarter page to learn about his project and how you can help him cover his expenses.
Excerpt from Kickstarter page:
For this first-ever cultural exchange, sponsored by the City of La Havre and Triangle Arts (NYC) the artist proposes to take this New York sensibility and look at a different city that is much-influenced by New York. Karlis is intrigued by the connections between the cities: the maritime history, the architectural and aesthetic characteristics that have inspired generations of artists. He is also interested looking at the differences; teasing out the urban idiosyncrasies that define a place. Through his highly developed visual language, he wants to hold a lens up to both cities and create drawings that reflect similarities and differences. The residency is from October 9-December 23, 2011.

Triangle Arts Association is pleased to present the work of two of our Artists’ Workshop alumni, Eve Bailey and Albert Pedulla. The exhibition opens Thursday, September 1, 6-9pm at 111 Front Street Galleries, Suite 222.
How does an artist’s mark derive its power? Using a variety of media, Bailey and Pedulla examine the relationship between body and mind from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Bailey employs the body as a “perceiving mechanical structure” that serves to “express the elegance of a gesture,” a device reaching beyond the physical products conceived of and executed by the mind. The works she makes are preparations that seek to instigate an opportunity for the body to complete them. Series of 1/4 Scale Maquettes is a sculptural document of her process to create a form upon which the body can perform a sequence of movements.
In other works such as Shoulder Path, Drawing Bailey records a predetermined movement by marking her body with paint. The resulting work serves as a blueprint of an abstracted moment in which the body has moved through space.
Conversely, Pedulla focuses on the mind seeking to form an “epistemology of the artist’s mark”. In Extracted Wall Drawing #3 (Path) a representation of a walk he took is rendered and then dissected. Remnants of his thought process are portrayed in intricate threads literally pulling apart the initial route moment by moment.
In Double-Portrait (Meg #1, #2, #3) Pedulla takes the process a step further by using the body as a space upon which the mind can make a mark. In this instance Pedulla literally burns an image onto a human body by creating a photographic negative and exposing it in a tanning bed using the model’s skin as the photosensitive material. This process which he refers to as a “tanograph” is framed in a manner that excludes almost any indication that the image exists upon a human body but eerily aligns the model’s naval with the mouth of the image.
Despite these seemingly opposite approaches, both artists’ processes converge around an underlying similarity. Bailey’s Work Force and Pedulla’s Public Rectilinear Form (Modernist-Post) share a conceptual space in which both artists entertain a state of being that exists beyond mind or body. In Bailey’s piece, a precarious if not dangerous sculpture is constructed that she then climbs atop and walks upon. A palpable tension is felt as she confidently but slowly traverses the structure. This tension between the focused concentration upon the act and the simultaneous disregard of its potentially harmful outcome incites the viewer to contemplate the meditative state necessary to execute this performance. Similarly, Pedulla’s piece creates a space in which to consider the conflicting notions of intention and intuition. He subverts the tradition of the over intellectualized and rarified artist’s mark by capturing the off-the-cuff gestures of passers-by and framing them within the context of the Modernist monolith. With a schoolhouse twist, he takes off the white gloves and glorifies the purely instinctive human tendency to express oneself.
Considering these works together, it becomes apparent that there is a state of being that neither the body nor the mind can fully fathom. Perhaps another state exists between the physicality of the body and the relentless activity of the mind; a space where the actual mark is formed and from which it derives its power of expression.
The exhibition will be open until September 15 and we will be holding regular gallery hours Tuesday-Saturday, 12-6pm and appointment.
In addition since this exhibition is only two weeks, we will be holding a closing reception on Thursday, September 15 from 6-9pm.

This book is a tribute to Dada – Coex’ae Qgam, a Naro artist, story-teller and dancer from the Kuru Art Project, D’Kar, Ghanzi District, Botswana. Dada was an extraordinary woman, painter and printmaker. She died in 2008 at the age of 74 knowing that Ann Gollifer and Jenny Egner would make good their promise to publish a book on her life and work, a project that they have worked on together with Dada since 2002.
Ann Gollifer and Jenny Egner compiled and edited a series of conversations and interviews with Dada and her community, that took place over a period of 6 years, with the publication of a book in mind. The book documents important personal episodes in Dada’s life as well as her opinions on her work as a painter and printmaker, her relationship with her friends and family and her precious memories of times past.

Triangle Arts Association is pleased to present the work of current resident artists, Stephanie Beck, Jonggeon Lee and Caitlin Masley.
Works include sculpture and drawing that present three perspectives surrounding the notions of architecture. The artists examine the domestic, public and private spaces that we inhabit– either physically or metaphysically– and our perception of the boundaries they represent and impose.
Beck’s intricate low-relief paper sculptures toe the line between the real and the imaginary by evolving organically from stored impressions of spacial memories and idealized landscapes that simultaneously entertain the forces of chaos and order.
Lee’s, Bridge of Paradise, an elegant engraving of a Persian Garden Carpet on reclaimed hardwood flooring from a demolished New England colonial-style home, denies the viewer a concrete understanding of time or place. The fissure created by the metaphoric collision of two very different cultures represented by their iconic architectural symbols challenges the viewer to envision a new context in which such an object could possibly exist.
Masley’s site specific sculptural wall drawing is an imposing four dimensional model of the fractured psychogeography in which we all exist concurrently presenting the geopolitical and emotional elements that inform our shared global landscape as presented through mass media.
Combined, these diverse works create a prismatic conversation which measures the tangible by way of the speculative and in turn incites the viewer to contemplate the “here and now” amidst the “nowhere”.
This exhibit will be open until August 25th and we will be holding gallery hours, Tuesday-Saturday, 12-6pm and by appointment.
