RVCC Presents Exhibition Focusing on Current Social Issues 

Raritan Valley Community College’s Arts & Design department will present THE FUTURE IS, an exhibition showcasing the work of ten artists who address topics of current social and community issues, August 31–September 30, 2022, in the Art Gallery at the College’s Branchburg campus. 

The show is curated by RVCC Adjunct Professor Lydia Grey, who presents samples of her own work alongside the work of nine artists she has selected for this exhibition. This exhibition is free of charge and open to the public.

The exhibition will focus on works that address current social issues, to inform the audience and inspire them to consider possibilities beyond their current understanding. Each selected artist will respond to one specific concern, to open discussions in accessible and insightful ways for both arts and non-arts audiences to consider new perspectives on these topics.  

Subject matter covered by artists in the show include water and the environment, internet freedom vs. censorship, elder care, incarceration, recycling, race, disability and accessibility, immigration, body sovereignty, indigenous representation, gun violence, and health care.  

Exhibiting artists include: Alisha B. Wormsley, Pittsburgh, PA; Jim Jeffers, Port St. Lucie, FL; Jonathan Leiter, Staten Island, NY, Joyce Yu-Jean Lee, New York, NY; Lauren Rosenthal McManus, Lambertville, NJ; Paul Rucker, Richmond, VA; Rebekah Taussig, Kansas City, MO; Sonia Garcia, San Antonio, TX; Vivian Vassar, Staten Island, NY; Lydia Grey, Somerville, NJ.  

Essays written about the topics each artist has covered are written by Arthur Saylor, Wayne Hodge, Margaret Chase, Emilie Stander, Jody Clowes, Keilani Abdullah, Fran Polacco, Joyce Kurdian, and Susan Dorward. The essays, along with information about the exhibiting artists, will be available as a catalogue later this fall. 

Gallery hours are Mondays, 3-8 pm; Tuesdays, 10 am-3 pm; Wednesdays, 3-8 pm; Thursdays, 10 am-6 pm; and Fridays, 1-4 pm. For further information, contact Arts & Design, 908-218-8876

16. Amos Eno Gallery, FF Member, Brooklyn, NY, Heidi Neff exhibition on view thru Oct. 2,

Heidi Neff: Crowd Control

September 8- October 2, 2022

Amos Eno Gallery is pleased to present Crowd Control, a solo exhibition featuring recent work by Heidi Neff on view September 9 through October 2, 2022. The gallery’s location is 56 Bogart Street in Brooklyn, NY, across the street from the Morgan Ave L train stop.

Crowd Control, as defined by the Collins Dictionary is “the management of crowds at sporting events, demonstrations, etc., to prevent trouble.” Neff’s work explores and questions the institutions and methods we use as a society to control ourselves. There is no shortage of ways that society is controlled. Police are called in to contain a group of people calling out systemic racism.  Is it a protest or a riot? Free speech or sedition? For the first time ever, the Supreme Court is taking away established rights as opposed to enshrining new ones. The resulting division in our country is causing major unrest. How will we be surveilled? By drones up above us or by the period trackers on our phones in our pockets? Is it my body my choice when it comes to masking or my body my choice when it comes to my uterus?

17. Blaise Tobia, FF Alumn, at Cherry Street Pier, Philadelphia, PA thru Oct. 21

Blaise Tobia and James B. Abbott both photograph extensively in Italy, concentrating on aspects of Italian material culture. For this exhibition they have selected a set of images based on the concept of facciate (façades), ranging from illusionistic building construction scrims to the skinning of entire buildings with tattoo-like graffiti. These are presented in large-format prints of individual images and thematic groupings.

18. TwinArt, Julia Heyward, Jill Kroesen, FF Alumns, new double vinyl LP, CD, streaming release

We’re excited to announce the release of TwinArt presents: Instant This / Instant That double vinyl LP, CD and streaming. Ellen Kahn and Lynda Kahn, AKA TwinArt curated this collection of post-punk and new wave music with a feminist perspective. 

The double vinyl LP is built around their seminal, groundbreaking music videos (2 years before the launch of MTV) featuring and also directed by TwinArt. The eye-catching videos score raves at the Mudd Club, Whitney Museum, The Kitchen, Pompidou Centre, and Tokyo Video Biennale. While it may not be exactly true Ellen and Lynda invented the music video, there is no doubt they were part of a small group of artists who pioneered the genre. 

Two clear vinyl LPs of unique female gazes, into the NYC downtown art scene circa late ‘78 -‘85, through the lenses of a variety of feminist perspectives on post-punk and true new wave! An ultra-violet time machine to a micro-scene viewed and heard through the curation of Emmy-award winning, twin artists, Ellen Kahn and Lynda Kahn AKA TwinArt. Read more here: http://twinart-studio.com/news and check out TwinArt Studio here: http://twinart-studio.com/ 

An ultra-violet time machine to a micro-scene viewed and heard through the curation of Emmy-award winning, identical twin multi-media artists, Ellen Kahn and Lynda Kahn AKA TwinArt. This magnificent journey features their music with Taste Test (lyrics by Joan Durand and music by David DeSario); along with other female voices from within their orbit: Eugenie Diserio of The Dance, Julia Heyward and T-Venus, and Jill Kroesen. David DeSario is credited with composing and recording in collaboration with TwinArt songs Poodle Paper, Wrong #, Rubber Goods, Trashy Fashions, Hands on Hands Off. Eugenie Diserio and Steve Alexander of The Dance collaborated with TwinArt on the song Double Shot of Love with Don Hunerberg as the sound engineer. Liner notes by Ardele Lister.

19. Doug Skinner, Norman Conquest, FF Alumns, new publication

The new expanded edition of “Merde à la Belle Époque” is now available from Black Scat Books! I’ve selected, translated, annotated, and introduced scatological songs, stories, poems, and playlets from some of the most inventive and eccentric minds of the golden age of Parisian Bohemia: Alphonse Allais, George Auriol, Georges Courteline, Charles Cros, J. Eschbach, André Gill, Edmond Haraucourt, Vincent Hyspa, Alfred Jarry, Jules Jouy, Maurice Mac-Nab, Armand Masson, Arthur Rimbaud, Rodolphe Salis, Erik Satie, and Henry Somm. Included is the first translation of Jouy’s relentlessly pottymouth paper “Le Journal des Merdeux,” which was quickly seized by the police.

This collection was first published as a chapbook in 2014, and now has more stuff in it. It’s designed by Norman Conquest, and is available on Amazon.
