Weekly Spotlight: Nina Sobell, Emily Hartzell, Park Bench, FF Alumns, live online at the Franklin Furnace LOFT, Thursday, September 7
Dear Friends,
We hope this message finds you well and immersed in the world of art and innovation. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at our upcoming virtual event, “Internet Firsts You’ve Never Heard Of: Nina Sobell, Emily Hartzell & ParkBench’s Safe Place in Cyberspace”.
Date: September 7th, 2023
Time: 7:00PM – 8:30PM ET
Where: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMrde-rrzIuG9wIx08SuHLENSGxudRoFBFc
This event emulates more than just a journey through time; it is an intergenerational crash course in the origins of online art, highlighting the pioneering days of the World Wide Web and its impact on our lives today and in the future.
Join us to uncover the art history of some of the earliest instances of performance art and avant-garde art on the Internet, and engage in conversations with humanities professionals to better understand the genesis and evolution of these art forms.
In this interactive panel discussion, we will spotlight rare extant early works of avant-garde art on the Internet via Zoom. “Internet Firsts” aims to explore, compare, and contrast artists’ ideas and projects, past and the present. Then, we will open the floor to a Q&A Session and we’ll delve into essential questions like, “How can early pioneering Internet art and technology inform and improve future endeavors?” and “Are there truly unique technological or aesthetic ideas?”
One of ParkBench’s initiatives, ‘Web Seance: Brainwave Drawing’ exemplified their commitment to bridging the physical disconnectedness of the information age through NetWorked Seances. Utilizing neural telepresence and meditation, the project established connections between physical and cyberspace. It will be prominently featured in an article authored by art historian Cristina Albu and showcased at the 10th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science, and Technology, hosted by the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities.
We believe your participation would greatly enrich the discussions and allow us to delve deeper into this fascinating chapter of art history.
To attend, please pre-register to the event using this link:

The program will be recorded and made archivally available at this link:

14. Ed Woodham, FF Alumn, at Penn Station, Manhattan, Sept. 22
Coming Soon: The Keepers
Friday, September 22, 2023 / NYC Penn Station area
For Immediate Release August 28, 2023 NYC. The Keepers is a performance art intervention created by longtime NYC cultural provocateur, Ed Woodham – scheduled for Friday, September 22 in three different locations (Church of St. John the Baptist, Gimbel’s Sky Bridge , and the demolished Pennsylvania Hotel).
Woodham is the founder/director of the eighteen-year-old annual NYC visual and performance public art festival, Art in Odd Places that takes place each October across 14th Street Manhattan since 2005.
The Keepers – a durational still performative group action – aims to bring attention to the blatant demolition of the Penn Station neighborhood’s historic buildings, urban fairy tale propaganda of luxury-city infinite growth, and the disregard of the natural limits of density. Also, look for Keeper Chasers (or simply Chasers) hobbyists (like storm chasers) who obsessively follow The Keepers to different sites for adventure, scientific investigation, and reporting to news and media coverage. In a phone interview, an anonymous Chaser explained in abundant detail that The Keepers appear when life is out of balance with nature in response to the gentrification and rapid mass development of urban areas where the importance of the mixed-use district, history of the area, and the natural environment has been ignored. “The Keepers are a life form living on the border between animal and plant consciousness”, said the Chaser. “They disrupt conventions, identities, and norms. The Keepers are aberrations in response to the rapid mass redevelopment of urban areas where the importance of the diverse community, chronicled past of the neighborhood, and the natural environment has been disregarded.”
Over the years, The Keepers have been spotted at various gentrified global sites in New York City at Gowanus, Brooklyn, and Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, Queens; several sites in Sydney and in western Australia; Krakow, Poland, and Asbury Park, NJ.
The Keepers September activation has been commissioned by the Preservation League of NYS as part of a New York State Council on the Arts-funded project drawing attention to the League’s Seven to Save endangered historic sites across the state through artistic interventions. The Penn Station Neighborhood, which is threatened with needless and large-scale demolition, was identified as a Seven to Save in 2022. This project is organized in partnership with the Empire State Coalition.”
Empire State Coalition is a coalition of 14 organizations opposed to the plan to demolish the neighborhood around Penn Station and replace it with ten glass skyscrapers owned by Vornado, NYC’s largest real estate investment trust.
Please visit this link:
The Preservation League of NYS is a statewide nonprofit focused on investing in people and projects that champion the essential role of preservation in community revitalization, sustainable economic growth, and the protection of our historic buildings and landscapes. The League has been helping New York State communities retain and reuse threatened sites through its Seven to Save Endangered Sites Program since 1999. Building on partnerships with groups and individuals, Seven to Save listing has been a key catalyst to the successful revival of dozens of buildings, landscapes, downtowns, and neighborhoods endangered by threats such as lack of regulatory protections, neglect, imminent demolition, and incompatible development

Ed Woodham is an elder queer independent conceptual artist, curator, producer, and educator based in NYC. He has been active in community art, education, and civic interventions across media and culture for over forty-five years. He employs humor, irony, subtle detournement, and a striking visual style in order to encourage greater consideration of – and provoke deeper critical engagement – with the environment. Woodham created the project Art in Odd Places (AiOP) as a response to the disappearance of public space and personal civil liberties. Woodham has taught workshops in politically based public performances at NYU Hemispheric Institute for EmergeNYC and at School of Visual Arts in NYC for City as Site: Public Art as Social Intervention.

In Sweet Narratives of Peril, Jessica “J.B.” Burke has created an exhibition of perceptual drawing. Her drawings in traditional and digital media express the language of excess and consequence through surreal tableaus that use a saccharine sweet color palette to underscore the implied threat of ultra processed snacks.

Elizabeth Coffey presents Vivid Dream, an exhibition of mixed media paintings exploring the tension between the seen and the unseen, and its relevance to female identity. Coffey often paints on lace fabric, a symbol of traditional feminine domesticity and accepted roles for women, serving as a veil to true identity. Based in Richmond, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and has exhibited in a variety of regional and national venues. In 2022, Coffey was awarded a residency to The Atlantic Center for the Arts, and was a selected artist for 1708 Gallery’s InLight 2022.

S. “Sandy” Nye-Moran’s Watercolor: NOT just a Pretty is a presentation of her watercolor practice. Sandy works “only in watercolor using the basic principles and elements of art in the beginning process of my work.

Finding The Form: Bay Area Sculpture
Show dates: 9/14 – 10/8/2023
The opening reception of Finding the Form: Bay Area Sculptors will be Saturday, September 16th, 6 – 8 pm. The exhibition presented by the Sausalito Center for the Arts features notable Bay Area artists exhibiting 3-dimensional work in a variety of media, with styles ranging from traditional to contemporary works of art. Included are four of my recent sculptors from the Primary Traces series.
The Primary Traces is a series of sculptures constructed of steel wire and synthetic rubber. Within this group of works, I have explored the boundary between formal art and playful experimentation. Primary colors, whimsical shapes and forms, have led me to attempt to trace back a path to a view of the physical world nurtured by imagination, curiosity and wonder. These sculptures represent traces of my journey to this point in time.

University Park, Pa. — Linda Hoeptner Poling, associate professor of art education at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, is the 2022 recipient of the Linda Stein Upstander Award administered by Penn State University Libraries. She will be honored and present her K-12 upstander curriculum from the exhibition “Holocaust Heroes: Fierce Females” at Kent State University’s Center for Visual Arts Gallery with artist Linda Stein, at 7 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, Sept. 7, and via Zoom.
The Linda Stein Upstander Award honoring Joyce and Diane Froot annually supports social justice activists from around the world whose artistic or scholarly work promotes upstander activities.
Hoeptner Poling also will present a talk titled “Linda Stein Social Justice Art: Upstander Curriculum for All in K-12.” Hoeptner Poling’s curriculum project deepens students’ understandings of their roles in social justice activism, what being “a brave upstander” has meant in the past and how to activate it in today’s cultural environment.
The curriculum, based on deep archival research with the Linda Stein Art Education Collection in the University Libraries’ Eberly Family Special Collections and at Smith College, is a series of comprehensive lessons that educators can apply in their teaching. Each lesson references Universal Design for Learning principles, including multiple means of representation, expression and engagement.
In describing her project, Hoeptner Poling wrote, “The multi-age curriculum, which frames social justice work that addresses bullying, bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism, is the ideal pathway in a time in which such intersectional work has never been more important for preserving democracy.”
The Linda Stein Upstander Award hybrid ceremony and lecture, held online and in person, is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required for a Zoom link, which will be sent via email to registrants on the day of the event.
Interested applicants for the Linda Stein Upstander Award honoring Joyce and Diane Froot may visit the online application site for more information.
Note that this award is taking place at the time of the Kent State solo art exhibition.
Holocaust Heros: Fierce Females – Tapestries and sculpture by Linda Stein

September News:
Summer extended by climate change is a mixed blessing for Summer In The City: mainstream media’s write-off of hurricanes, tornados, and wildfire winds as the “new normal” is a jaded, nihilistic copout. As a zone for imaginative escapism, LPV continues its season with programming that is as pleasurable as it is thought-provoking – contemplative as it is action-based in the way that serenity and stimulation are mutually induced. Roller coasters, merry-go-rounds and hammocks have inertia in common. Those ostensibly opposing sensations are reminders that we’re alive and kicking: resisting, and ready to rock and roll!

Celebrating 12 years (more than a decade in photos) with a widescreen photo projection exclusive at Le Petit Versailles garden in New York – An idea born in Berlin, with a debut 2011 in Paris with photos being projected in visuals on club nights for the Art You Out collective. This turned over time into an ongoing still growing collection of photos full of rich urban details capturing the essence of a neighborhood, local culture or moments. Berlinique photo project is now looking back over time with inevitable changes, development and gentrification visible.

Friday, September 22nd
8 PM
A program of a short video by MM Serra followed by a featurette length work by Jack Waters with extras from the Pestilence Process including rehearsal and workshop footage with documentation of “In The Realm Of Anansi From Assisi”, the 2020 installation by Peter Cramer at LPV.
Program Details / Reservations
a) “Endless Possibilities: Jack Waters & Peter Cramer” by MM Serra (2020) 15min 44sec video
“Endless Possibilities:” is a portrait of two artists, dancers, musicians, community gardeners, collaborators and lovers, who have lived together on the Lower East Side of New York City for more than 40 years. This film focuses on their latest production “Generator: Pestilence Part 1” as it went into its inaugural production at the avant-garde venue, LaMaMa in February, 2020. It is an experimental multimedia work, which offers an original story rooted in both biology and mythology. It is performed by a multi-gendered cast including the punk kitchen band NYOBS. Presciently, it presents plagues, disease and the breakdown of communication just as Covid19 exploded into New York consciousness.
b. “Generator: Pestilence Part 1” by Jack Waters (2023)
A 30 minute version of the video edited by Stephen Black and Jack Waters. The Flintstones meet High School Musical – a videographic compilation of elements from the first section of the MultiMedia Musical Opus cycle performed at La MaMa Downstairs Theater February 20 – March 1, 2020. Beginning with life in its simplest state, the single cell organism, we transition into complex biological forms that culminate as the early development of a hominid social organization. Score by John Michael Swartz. Projections by Christopher Roberts. Performed by a stellar cast with musical sound scape performed by NYOBS, the terminally queer Noise-Goth queer skinned “kitchen“ band born at the Punk Island Festival.

Climate Blues
Shaping Hope and Action through Poetry and Flag Making
Saturday, September 23rd
3 PM
Led by Dr. Lori Kent, Director of Visual Arts Education Hunter College & Founder of Code Vert Arts. A participatory workshop in basic cyanotype that “may experiment with sun sensitive fabric dyes on a simple muslin base.” Dr. Kent invites participants to share her pedagogical goal “to demonstrate that words have power and can serve as prompts to shift fear to action, despair to hope. I try to stay current on the research rather than personal beliefs (and fears). Working with the prompts of blue(s), climate, change, action, and hope, etc., we write about current hopes and anxieties about climate in NYC/globe. The group is then given supplies to make a flag in the tradition of Tibetan Prayer Flags or Haitian flags to point out aesthetics and the messaging of flags.” Pending on the outcome of the workshop the flags may be displayed in the garden.

22. Helène Aylon, FF Alumn, at The Armory Show 2023, Manhattan, Sept. 8-10
Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects
Heléne Aylon
Breaking / Changing / Melting / Turning
at
The Armory Show 2023, Booth S13
https://www.thearmoryshow.com/
Beginning in the 1960s, Helène Aylon (1931–2020) produced a diverse body of works arising from her lifelong engagement in spiritual and societal concerns. We are extremely pleased to present a focused survey of paintings, drawings, and photographs from 1970 to 2015.
Aylon’s first distinct series of process-driven works, Elusive Silver (1969–73) were paintings made with aluminum, Plexiglas, acrylic, and spray paint. These works, which changed visually with the viewer’s stance and ambient light, anticipated her subsequent series of works, Paintings That Change in Time (1973–76), created by applying linseed oil and various other materials onto paper that was sandwiched between Masonite and Plexiglass. These works physically changed over time as the oil seeped into the paper and became translucent, allowing the Masonite backing to show through. They were, according to the artist, “about process rather than completion, which I think of as feminist.”
Aylon introduced performance to process in the monumentally-scaled works on paper entitled Breakings (1977–79). During events at galleries and alternative spaces, she poured several quarts of linseed oil onto large sheets of paper affixed to Plexiglas panels and left them in place on the floor for several weeks while the oil developed a skin. The “breaking” occurred later when the artist, with several collaborators she referred to as “midwives” (Betty Parsons, Nancy Spero, and Hannah Wilke among them), lifted the panels, allowing the oil to escape from its “sac.” The resulting works were Aylon’s most explicitly feminist statements of the time with the process referring to childbirth and the resulting images suggesting the female body.
From the 1980s until her death, Aylon engaged in a social practice, consisting of installations, actions, and objects. Through her commitment to feminism, ecological issues, and anti-nuclear activism, she produced performances and installations in the US, Israel, Russia, and Japan while continuing to create process-driven works on paper. The Melting Bricks series (1992–2015) consists of mixed-media frottages, made by rubbing nontraditional materials such as coffee into paper that was laid upon a brick or wood surface and enhanced with graphite.
Following a near-death experience, Aylon began Turnings (2009–2017), an annual series of digitally altered performative self-portrait photographs. Both spiritual and philosophical, they are a unique depiction of the aging artist as she confronts her own mortality and relationship to the earth.
Helène Aylon has participated in one-person and group shows in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, and Israel including, among many others, the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; MoMA PS1; the Berkeley Art Museum; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles: the Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield; The Jewish Museum, New York; The Jewish Museum, Frankfurt am Main; and most recently the Morgan Library and Museum, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Tinguely Museum in Basel, Switzerland. Works by the artist will be featured in RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology, opening on October 5, 2023 at the Barbican in London.
Aylon has been the recipient of numerous honors including, among many others, three awards from the Pollock Krasner Foundation, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, two fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art.
Works by the artist are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Oakland Museum of California; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond; The Jewish Museum, New York; the Morgan Library and Museum, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and those of many other distinguished institutions and private individuals.

23. Tamar Ettun, FF Alumn, at Governors Island, NY, thru Oct. 1, and more
Dear friends,
I hope the full moon has not rocked your world, and that if it did then you get to spend the day in bed with plenty of liquids and a good book!
I am thrilled to continue Lilit’s Uranian route from MN to NYC with Dreamsong Gallery. Tomorrow we will open a group exhibition at Nada House with a huge textile installation for the entrance, wall pieces, and a text piece. All new works I have made in the last few months, I hope you get to check it out!
Nada House is open Fridays-Sundays 11am-5pm. I will be there often, please let me know if you plan on coming and I will try to meet you there.
Next Friday and Saturday will open a public textile installation and a performance at the Armory Show as part of Armory Off-Site. My piece is at Bella Abzug Park, the Hudson Yards. It’s a few blocks from the fair, outside and free.
Details below.
I am also happy to return to the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art for The Emotional Show curated by Alisha Kerlin! If you happen to be in Las Vegas in the next six months, please check it out 🙂 The show will include the Yellow Inflatable, and my video How to Trap a Demon.
I finally finished this piece that I shot at Chinati 3 years ago with a captivating voice recording by Holland Andrews who makes vocal bird sounds and chants demon names.
Some of you know, Lilit has gotten a push back from anti-abortion, right-wing crowds recently. (Apparently there is a Lilith Fund that offers financial support for abortions in MN) It is so disappointing to see that still at this point in history, being a woman making magic is a risky business. Some of the messages I have been getting are from people identifying as concerned mothers and they are interesting! Thinking of my own nonlinear spiritual journey – maybe a dialog begins with art?
Like all of my work, all ages are welcome. The work is designed for adults, but I appreciate having a variety of ages attend — first, so that parents without financial means will be able to join (poor moms are the first to be excluded!) Second, when we discuss emotional demons, a variety of perspectives brings interesting and valuable material, plus the vulnerability!
Below all the information, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! <3

29. Leslie Labowitz-Starus, Suzanne Lacy, FF Alumns, at Redcat, Los Angeles, CA, opening Sept. 13
The Performing Archive (2007-2023) at Redcat
Installation of The Performing Archive at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 2008.
The Performing Archive by Leslie Labowtiz-Starus and Suzanne Lacy is an ongoing installation and performance work that comments on how ephemeral art is historified and the accuracy of women’s art in institutional memory. At the center of the project is the act of direct transmission of knowledge from one generation of women to the next. What can you learn from the artist’s archive that is misinterpreted or not represented in the historical record of contemporary art?
In 2007 the two artists opened their archives to 12 young women artists and recorded each woman’s responses. The idea was not to interrupt their interpretations but to allow them to reformulate ideas previously learned from texts about the Los Angeles feminist art movement from the 1970s and 1980s. The current presentation at REDCAT features the videos of this process and the voices of these women.
Lacy has designed an accompanying performance series in November and December. For more information about the exhibition “The Feminist Art Program (1970-1975): Cycles of Collectivity”
Please visit this link:

Opening reception: September 13 at 7 PM at the Redcat – 631 W 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA.

30. Ann-Marie LeQuesne, FF Alumn, at Stoke Newington Library, London, UK, opening September. 15
The Last Picture Show
Opening: 15 Sept 18:00 – 20:30
The Gallery, Stoke Newington Library,
Edwards Lane, London N16 0JL
I will be at the Opening in the Gallery on the15th, showing an “underground” film of Thames Water at work: onlyconnect I will also be in my studio on Saturday, Sept 16th, showing a group of recent films. It would be lovely to see you on either or both days!
The Library houses 9 artist studios that most of the visiting public are unaware of. For over 20 years, the upstairs rooms have been let as affordable artist studios managed by SPACE Studios. The building is scheduled for restoration works at the end of this year, which will unfortunately result in the closure of the studios. So this is a last opportunity to see them and chat to the artists who have been based there – some since the studios first opened.
The exhibition and open studios will also be part of Open House Festival opening Sat 16 Sept, 10:30-17:00.

The work of 21 artists in A Legacy of Making offers a richness of form, medium, subject, and style.
