The Work of Cybele Lyle
Opening: Sunday, October 18th, 1-4pm
Media Project Space:
October 18th through December 2nd
Using various strategies of documentation, my work examines issues of identity and social representation by focusing the lens on myself and my community. I explore the connections between constructed space and constructed subjectivity through sculpture, photography, video and projection. The spaces I create - queer, safe, architectural and emotional - form a critically reconstructed mirror of reality, an alternative environment in which all forms of intimacy are allowed to be visible. I use social and visual material of my own life to represent spaces of transformative potential and desire.

Snowspace: Vivian Kahra
Opening reception: Sunday, October 18th, 1-4pm
Curator Lynn Stein
Gallery ONE: October 18th through December 2nd
Open icy paintings, by German artist Vivian Kahra (recently relocated to Nyack, NY), depict images of snowy travel, sport, and worlds under frozen oceans utilizing the white open areas to maximum effect.
The title of the exhibition "Snow Space" is synonymous with my passion for white surfaces and my passion for snow. Snow smooths out the uneven structures in landscapes. Snow-covered landscapes have a reducing, calming, cooling and concealing effect and raise the question: what lies beneath those white surfaces?

Marlene Krumm-Sanders:
The Illustrious Potter
Opening reception: Sunday, September 13th, 1- 4 pm
Gallery ONE: September 13th through October 4th
Illustrator Marlene Krumm-Sanders combines her passion for illustration and Mexican influenced ceramics in her beautiful hand built ceramic work. The exhibition features two different areas of concentration for Krumm-Sanders: illustrious figurative pieces and open form, hand built sculptures. Through a very intricate and mythological process of slicing and removing large portions of clay, the idea of the vessel is transformed into a linear calligraphy similar to spider webs. The figurative work bring the artist's illustrative expertise to a three dimensional conclusion filled with story and spirit. |
