Heather Guertin October 10 - November 10 2013 Opening October 10, 6-8pm LINK

As many of you know, for some time I ( Alison Kizu-Blair)  have been working on a magazine featuring 11 female artists.   It is now hot off the presses!   I would like to invite you to join me and the artists in launching the magazine Thursday, October 10th at Beverly's in Chinatown.   Featured artists: Tisch Abelow Sarah Faux Laura Hunt Linnea Kniaz Anne Libby Katie Loselle Annabeth Marks Catherine Pearson Allie Pisarro-Grant Sophie Stone Ashley Zangle

SPLONK Tisch Abelow Aaron Carpenter Maureen Cavanaugh Anne Eastman George Gittins Grant Huang Aliza Nisenbaum Veronika Pausova Splonk is a show about the cartoon. The work ranges from the flat and abstract to the more lyrical and uncanny. All of the work engages with the sensibility of the cartoon; abbreviated and elegant depictions that are both familiar and unfamiliar. The artists in the show make work that is visually inviting, but also disrupts, in some way, what we think we know about space, form, color, line, object. There are connections to Japanese woodblock prints, Picasso, animation, and graphic novels to name a few. Filtered through a contemporary lens, the pieces are less grounded, stranger and maybe tinged with a new millennium anxiety. Enjoy!  -Holly Coulis  LINK
