Now, over forty years later, its three fairs - in Basel, Hong Kong and Miami Beach rank as the premier shows of their kind, presenting 20th and 21st century art with a strong curatorial perspective. In our American show, leading galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa show significant work from the masters of Modern and contemporary art, as well the new generation of emerging stars. Paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, films, and editioned works of the highest quality are on display in the main exhibition hall.

"Of Woman Born"

The Housatonic Museum of Art

“There is nothing revolutionary whatsoever about the control of women’s bodies by men,“ to quote author, poet and feminist, Adrienne Rich. “The woman’s body is the terrain on which patriarchy is erected.”

Of Woman Born explores the ways in which male dominance has manifested itself in familial, social, political, religious and economic systems—patriarchal structures that, over the centuries, have continually been used to dominate, oppress and exloit women.

Although women have made great strides, such as the right to vote and equal access to education, there is still more work to be done. Women’s rights are human rights and include freedom from discrimination, freedom from violence, and freedom from gender inequality.

"xs - XL: REACHING NEW HEIGHTS" This exhibit explores the impact of size in art from extra small to extra large. The larger pieces will prompt the viewer to step way back to take it all in, while the smaller work will pull the viewer up close to the wall in order to appreciate art presented in a much more intimate space.  When it comes to visual appeal and emotional impact, does size matter?

The Shape of Memories

Loft Artists Association in Stamford presents the 6th Annual Tri-State Jurried Exhibition.

Juror/curator, Arianne Faber Kolb, PhD created the concept for "The Shape of Memories." She states, "This exhibition explores the theme of memory and the key role it plays in art. Most artists' works, whether on a conscious or subconscious level, reflect certain personal experiences and histories. References to the past can be monumental, quotidian or intimate. Everyday objects or places take on new meaning depending on how they are interpreted or experienced. In Marcel Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past," the smell and taste of a Madeleine cake triggers a flood of memories and transports the author to another time and experience in his life. The show will explore the various mnemonic devices artists use to create thought provoking connections and commentaries on the passage of time."

Twisted

  • Housatonic Museum of Art (map)

Sherri Wolfgang’s “Twisted” series of life sized paintings, dramatically captures our society’s fascination with warped mental and physical states of cosmetic surgery.

Using her own body as model, she creates a narrative of what she is witnessing. Our society’s culture of youth obsession and physical beauty has taken its toll on American women’s self image and esteem -  to the point of twisting and distorting their own bodies and minds.

Whether it’s marking up Wolfgang’s own body to show the dehumanization inherent in potential cosmetic surgeries, images of finding detached body parts on a train, or tracking the hopes and then horrified realizations of pre – and post – surgeries, Wolfgang’s works exposes the essence of this unfortunate and unnecessary phenomenon.

This newest series was inspired by the earliest movies which were short, flickering images creating the illusion of motion. The first theaters to show these films more than a century ago, NICK.e.lo.de.on captures individual “frames” of a dancer in motion.  The spotlight flickers on and off…and with the contrast of shadow and light recaptures the wonders of the human body and expression.
