Exhibits June 2011

Just a few new art introductions that I really hope to take in this month or over the summer — if I can get over these deadlines. We’re working to launch 3 new collections at Casart coverings and it’s a lot of work, press releases, newsletters, marketing materials, website, and photoshop — enough to make my head spin. Seeing an exhibit would bring a little peaceful distraction and calm.

I was recently introduced to 52 O Street Studios, a warehouse offering affordable studio space for professional, contemporary artists. Micheline Klagsbrun is one of them. I saw her Shaman/Shaman piece in the paper but could not find it online. Here’s her link from the studio. I like the pow factor in her flowing and and colorful draftsman style and how she embeds the human form in some shape or another in her subjects, which may not be human but then transforms into having humanistic qualities and personality.

There are 20 artists’ studios at this location, and their site does not say when they are open, so you’ll have to check to see when they have their open house next or just go by to maybe get a sneak peak of their work while they work.

Deborah Herdon’s photos are on display at the Loft Gallery’s “Architecture Talks” exhibit. She takes photos of architectural details and wonderful travel shots such as these.

There will be others but these are a start on my list and of course there are outdoor summer concerts and a whole hosts of things to do, if I can just get a break  from my computer…..That’s “Somesing” to think about by Sound Tribe Sector to Kick Start the weekend, with a little electronic, which I normally don’t like but don’t mind this + the painting in progress to the music on the video:
