Homorientalism

June 23–August 6, 2023

Group exhibition guest-curated by Noor Bhangu

Homorientalism brings together the work of nine artists turning to the visual repertoires of orientalism to excavate the mixing of gender, race, sexuality, and empire. Returning to archives and lost desires, this exhibition hopes to make sense of the residue of Western imperialism in queer lives and after-lives of the twenty-first century. This exhibition is guest-curated by Noor Bhangu and features work by artists: Damien Ajavon, Aika Akhmetova, Hector Canonge, Jin-Yong Choi, Banyi Huang, Maya Jeffereis, Jongbum Kim, Zahra Pars, and Sa’dia Rehman. 

While homosexuality was not altogether absent from the cultural canons of the West, Western erotics were primarily confined to “heterosexual love” until the late nineteenth century, when, according to Foucault, the homosexual was born as a species. In the Age of Discovery, the homoerotics of the non-Western world were translated to Western audiences through the lens of Orientalism, what Edward Said later theorized as the fictions of exaggerated difference between the deviant Oriental others and the superior Western self. During the aggressive colonization of the nineteenth century, the West pathologized the sexual economies of brown and black bodies to cast them outside the path of human progress. The result of these ventures has resulted in homophobias and transphobias at home alongside racisms in the diaspora, which continue to restrict and threaten the lives of the queer postcolony.

3. Frank Moore, FF Alumn, new publication

We now have our first copies of The Frank Moore History Tapes – Volume 3 and Volume 4! This is the third and fourth of a multi-volume set of books of the transcriptions of the tapes recorded by Corey Nicholl in 1995 and 1996. They are only available through us if anyone is interested mac@eroplay.com

Here is the Preface from the book:

The documentation in these volumes is the result of a series of interviews, conversations, and sessions between Frank Moore and Corey Nicholl, as part of Nicholl’s shamanistic apprenticeship with Moore.  These interviews explore Moore’s history in enormous detail and depth.  Most of these interviews took place in the living room of Moore’s house in Berkeley.  The interviews were recorded on a little Radio Shack cassette tape recorder with a microphone.  The first tape is from July of 1995, and the last tape recorded was in November of 1996.

Also included in these volumes are interviews with people from Moore’s life history, especially people who still lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, who were part of the cast of the Outrageous Beauty Revue and the intimate community that Moore created during the late 1970s and early 80s.  These interviews mainly occurred in 1996, although a handful of them were recorded in 1997 and 1998. 

Some of these sessions consist of Nicholl pulling original archival letters, essays, articles, calendars, etc. out of file folders and reading the contents together, with Moore adding commentary and explanation along the way. There are also sessions where Moore and Nicholl would watch videos and talk about them.  During some sessions, Moore “interviewed” Nicholl in an effort to show Nicholl how to do an interview.

The beginning sessions are presented in a kind of narrative format, with titles and descriptive paragraphs, telling different stories from Moore’s history.  Nicholl transcribed the sessions directly into this format when he first started.  This proved hard to maintain and Nicholl transitioned into simply transcribing the sessions as they happened – the narrative structure fell away.

No attempt has been made to organize this material. It is presented in its raw form in the hope it will be valuable for future researchers interested in Moore’s life.   

Thank you.

Technology is always an extension of the human body, even when it seems to be very mechanical and non-human. … At this critical junction in human history, one wonders – can the human body evolve to solve problems we have created? Can the human body evolve a process to digest plastics and artificial materials not only as part of a solution to the climate crisis, but also, to grow, thrive, and survive?

Four artists feature prints, collages and ceramics at the nonprofit gallery in Richmond, VA

Richmond, VA

Artspace presents new exhibitions in our Main Gallery featuring linoleum reduction prints, collages, and ceramics from July 28 – August 19, 2023. The opening reception, scheduled for Friday, July 28, 2023, 6-9 p.m., features artwork by solo artists Erving Del Pilar and Maryanna Williams, along with a joint exhibition by Lee Hazelgrove & Dicke Robins. An artist talk by our featured artists will take place on Saturday, July 29, 2023 beginning at 2 p.m. Also on view will be a group exhibition by Artspace Artist Members and in the Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman Gallery, work from the 2022 Narratio Fellowship in partnership with ReEstablish Richmond. 

Erving Del Pilar presents mixed paper media collage in his exhibition titled, Myth and Musings: A Personal Journey in Collages. Erving’s explanation for his collages has two parts. Initially, it involved his move to Virginia  from New York City. When he moved his possessions down he had boxes filled with things he had lugged around for years. A friend suggested the Kon Mari Method, taking objects that have been kept forever and excising them from our lives through a ritual of properly saying goodbye. Erving says, “Being  the sentimental sap that I am, I couldn’t just get rid of them. So, I had to figure out a way to make them exist in another form, and allow them to resonate better in my life, as opposed to just having all these things in boxes.”

The other part relates to his identification with the Surrealist school which began with Automatism, or automatic writing used by poets and writers who were part  of the European avant grade movement. The power of words, used in  a syntax-less manner, were experimented with but became eventually  limited. Images were eventually included—giving birth to collages, and eventually to assemblages. According to Del Pilar, “This concept is what made me utilize the contents of that box that I found hard to part with. The ensuing work elevated the disparate  paper media into a chronicle of a life devoted to aesthetic and  introspective inquiry. Ultimately, what comes out is a fragmented but evocative depiction of our personal mythos.”

Erving F. Del Pilar was born in Manila, Philippines, and moved to the U.S.A. at the age of fourteen. His immigrant family landed in Queens, New York in 1972, and there he stayed until 2018, the year he left for Williamsburg, Virginia. He began drawing at the age of nine trying to mimic his aunt studying architectural drafting, then taught himself the fundamentals of oil painting at sixteen. He spent two years of high school at the Manila Science High School in the Philippines, and another two at William Cullen Bryant High School in Long Island City, New York. He graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in Visual Arts in 1983, and earned his M.F.A. at School of Visual Arts in 1988, both in New York City. He went on to become gainfully employed as a graphic designer in corporate advertising until he retired from the profession in 2018. He continues to paint, make collages, and is currently editing a novel he began a decade ago. When he is not traveling, Erving avidly studies chess, art history, languages, gastronomy and oenology.

Maryanna Williams’ Vessels is a series of reduction linoleum prints with imagery coming from her immersion in nature and art history, and her interest in creating a dialogue between simple forms and intricate patterns. In her prints Maryanna has explored diverse subjects – such as moths, jellyfish, Italian Renaissance portraits, antique robes, and antique vessels, and now trees – each subject chosen for its inherent beauty, delicate patterning, and vibrant hues. Close up and filling the picture plane, the images shift between realism and abstraction, at times dissolving into facets of color and marks vibrating across surfaces. 

For almost two decades, Williams has been making reduction linocuts. Using a single piece of linoleum she creates a multi-colored image by sequentially carving and layering colors, one atop another. She prints by hand onto rice papers with beautiful textures and fibers that are integrated into the works. This printmaking method is unforgiving, demanding that the artist balances chance with control to save the image. There is an energy that comes from these continual adjustments, often taking the piece far from the original plan. In this way, the image is always in a state of becoming until the final color is laid to paper.

Maryanna says, “My work is not about scientific illustration or realism, but about transforming subjects from nature and art into images that express my deep passion for the intense beauty I see in the world.”

Maryanna Williams received a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Southeastern Massachusetts University (now UMass Dartmouth) in 1978. Since that time, she has lived and worked in Massachusetts, Italy, North Carolina and, now, Virginia. For the past twenty years she has worked primarily as a printmaker, specifically doing reduction linoleum printmaking. She has shown regularly, both in solo exhibitions and in group shows, across the United States and her work is in collections around the country and in Canada. 

In There Is No A. I. In Ceramics, Lee Hazelgrove and Dicke Robins are two friends with an equal passion for their work with two completely different approaches, medium and process. Each artist will be showing their individual bodies of work and in addition a large collaborative piece will be part of the exhibition.

Richard Via “Dicke” Robins’ part of the show is subtitled: A.I. says Hi.  Robins was born in Richmond and raised in Baltimore. He returned to Richmond in his early twenties and spent the better part of his career in the Healthcare field but continued to create art throughout his career and into retirement.

Dicke explains, “I have been drawing, painting and producing  mixed media analog collage for over 40 years. My influences include Picasso, Matisse and Hopper and more recently Pop surrealism. I consider my  pieces to be a conversation between myself  and those other artists whose work I have manipulated or reinterpreted. The pieces are meant to be fun and hopefully thought provoking. With the introduction  of Artificial Intelligence applied to Art, my work and vision have expanded exponentially and I can’t wait to see where this new tool will take me”

Lee Hazelgrove is a well-known Richmond ceramics artist and instructor. Hazelgrove will present a selection of his saggar fired vessels. The subtitle for his segment of the exhibition is Peeling Back the Layers. For Lee, art is broken down into two parts, not necessarily equal in nature: process and the tangible object. Paramount to him is process. The act of creating. The doing. It represents activity, thought, creative impulse, the channeling of an idea into reality. Secondary is the tangible object, the final product. Hazelgrove’s playground lies somewhere between the two, inside the space where process and product meet, where all the most delicate and perfect parts of the process merge into art.

Evident in Hazelgrove’s work is an ever-present tension that, according to Hazelgrove, is a vital and necessary part of successful art. “In its simplest breakdown, my work is both contemporary and ancient, quiet and commanding, subtle but large in scale,” said Hazelgrove. “These are the aspects of art and clay that I attempt to balance…finding that sweet spot where the opposing dualities perfectly complement each other.”

Rounding out our July-August shows in the Main gallery, Artspace Artist Members will present a themed exhibition of artwork focusing on the topic of “Home.” 

Also on view during the July-August exhibition period, Artspace presents Work from the 2022 Narratio Fellowship in partnership with ReEstablish Richmond in the Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman Gallery.

8. Dee Shapiro, FF Member, receives Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2023

David Richard Gallery is pleased to announce that Dee Shapiro has been awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant for 2023. The grants were established in 1985 by Lee Krasner. The individual artist grants provide financial resources for artists to create new work, acquire supplies, rent studio space, prepare exhibitions, attend a residency, and offset living expenses, allowing them to better pursue their art. The Foundation has awarded 5,000 grants to artists and organizations in 79 countries. (Source: https://pkf.org/)

David Richard Gallery celebrates this significant accomplishment and praises Shapiro for her five decades of creativity and exploration of patterns in various media and on diverse supports. She investigates not only new and different compositions, but unique approaches and viewpoints that imbue her artworks with subtle content and meaning. Ever evolving, Shapiro not only explores the formal aspects of the art form of patterning, but leveraging patterns to deconstruct, educate, and comment on issues concerning feminism, the female body, cultural constructs of gender and race, as well as the male gaze throughout art history.

Shapiro started her professional career as an artist after raising her children, thus, later in life then most artists fresh out of an MFA program. Influenced by sewing and working with textiles throughout her life, she met Miriam Shapiro, the two became fast friends and she was on her way. Through much of her career, Dee Shapiro’s work focused on geometry, the Fibonacci progression, color, textiles, and patterns.

Something remarkable happened in 2018 as Shapiro embarked on an entirely new and different body of work, her first time working with and exploring the human figure. Specifically, she focused on iconic female nudes throughout art history, but with her own unique take and leveraging pattern. She gave the nude models identity and personality using appropriated photographic imagery, textiles, found objects, beads, artificial flowers, pubic hair, and other unconventional supports and materials.

Shapiro has pushed the boundaries in her most recent series of classical female nudes, as noted above, just as she did with her series of “Sexy Drawings” in 2010 – 2013. The latter, exquisitely detailed renderings on paper of male and female genitalia, shifted the attention away from objectifying and essentializing the female body to a focus on playful and decorative depictions of genitalia as the functional and organic structures they are, with of course, a dose of innuendo.

Dee Shapiro is one of the most innovative and creative artists we have ever met, she is tireless and works constantly on textiles, drawings, collages, paintings, and curating exhibitions. She is an ideal candidate for a Pollock-Krasner Grant and we expect to see much more energizing, challenging, provoking, and thoughtful work come from Shapiro utilizing these resources.

9. Agnes Denes, FF Alumn, at The Hayward Gallery, London, UK, thru Sept. 3

Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects

Agnes Denes

The Living Pyramid

in

Dear Earth: Art and Hope

in a Time of Crisis

at

The Hayward Gallery, London

June 21 – September 3, 2023

Originally commissioned by Socrates Sculpture Park, and presented there in the spring, summer, and fall of 2015, The Living Pyramid was Agnes Denes’s first major public work in New York City since 1982 when she enacted her iconic Land art work Wheatfield – A Confrontation in lower Manhattan.

Thirty feet high, and spanning thirty feet at its four-sided base, this monumental sculpture was created from wood and several tons of soil. It was planted with local grasses and wildflowers by the artist and the public during the opening ceremony in May.

In 2017, The Living Pyramid was presented again at documenta 14 in Kassel, Germany where it was erected in a local park and planted with flowers, grasses, and vegetables. In the fall of 2022, it was exhibited on the grounds of the Sakip Sabanci Museum in Istanbul where it featured a lush presentation of indigenous vegetation.

We are now extremely pleased to announce that for the first time, The Living Pyramid will be seen within an indoor setting as a highlight of the exhibition Dear Earth: Art and Hope in a Time of Crisis  at The Hayward Gallery in London.

Organized by Hayward Gallery Chief Curator Rachel Thomas, the exhibition focuses on the ways in which artists are helping to reframe and deepen the psychological and spiritual responses to the climate crisis, hoping to inspire joy and empathy as well as promoting a sense of political and social activism. It features works in a wide range of media by a diverse group of 15 artists including Andrea Bowers, Imani Jacqueline Brown, Agnes Denes, John Gerrard, Cristina Iglesias, Aluaiy Kaumakan, Jenny Kendler, Richard Mosse, Otobong Nkanga, Cornelia Parker, Himali Singh Soin, Hito Steyerl, Daiara Tukano and Grounded Ecotherapy.

The Living Pyramid will appear in its own dedicated gallery space where its foliage will grow under a ceiling skylight and the walls will be hung with enlarged images of other significant Land art works by the artist. A selection of Agnes Denes’s prints, drawings and photographs will be installed in an adjacent gallery space.

Works by Agnes Denes are also currently on view in Coded: Art Enters the Computer Age, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (through July 2, 2023); Chaleur Humaine Triennale Art & Industrie, Frac Grand Large – Hauts-de-France, Dunkirk, France (through January 14, 2024); Adaptation: A ReConnected Earth, Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Manila, Philippines (through July 23, 2023); The Material Revolution, E-Werk Luckenwald, Germany (through July 7, 2023); and Schema: World as Diagram, Marlborough Gallery, New York (through August 15, 2023)
