           This show combines work from artists Mildor Chevalier and Kim Maxime Baglieri. The artists chose the word concurrent to link their works that explore acts of shedding generational imprints from 500+ years of colonization,  systematic European domination, and slavery in the intertwined parts of the world from which they come. Concurrent also suggests a collapse in time, bringing all points past and future into the present, as both Mildor and Kim collapse time in embodied symbolic ritual as offerings to themselves, their ancestors, and the future

           Art Lives Here is thrilled to be back at JVS Project Space presenting a new exhibition featuring three collaborating artist members. Look this way is an exhibition that takes photography beyond its expected boundaries with sculptures and assemblages that create an unexpected dialogue. In a culture inundated with images the artists are exploring how visual art informs our perception of essentially everything.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The exhibition features Jose Soto’s, Aurora 2017, which has been exhibited only once before at the 2017 Occupy Museums - Whitney Biennial. Soto works with photography, video, sculpture and installation to transform the complex visual structures found in nature. His practice is grounded in the aesthetic strategies of Formalism, Minimalism and the principles of Gestalt. He invites the viewer to consider his or her own perception of the natural landscape.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Cheryl Aden is a fine art photographer and a bit of a rebel. Aden challenges the traditional notion of what is considered a beautiful object by exploring visual dichotomies. She captures ordinary things as if they were extraordinary. Her images convey life in all of its glory and the inevitable decay that binds the human experience to the natural world. 
          &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Heather Cox is a multidisciplinary artist trained as a photographer and a sculptor. Look This Way features works from her ongoing series “Roundels” which she began in 2020. Cox alters snapshots and vintage photos by cutting/sewing/gluing/stapling them into pointillistic sculptural forms. They hang from the ceiling and protrude from the walls creating compelling colorful shapes that require a closer look.

           The linoleum prints in this exhibition have been selected from two different yet related series Felix Angel developed between Fall 2020 and Spring of 2021.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The first series are related to the artist latest book ‘Tantas Vidas, Miguel” (So many lives, Miguel), published in Spanish by Tragaluz Editores, in 2021.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The idea was not exactly illustrating the fictional story, but rather add to it with visual elements that otherwise will not perform the same with words, although Angel certainly has a way with them. Words and images go hand by hand along four hundred nineteen pages, telling a story that Colombian writer, urban, art and literary critic Dario Ruiz Gomez defines as
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Sartre's contention that "behind all forms there is a metaphysics” applies to Felix Angel’s recent book Tantas Vidas, Miguel (So many lives, Miguel), and is widely validated when the formal approach that Felix proposes is directed to the invisible corroboration of that space in which we exist as the questions challenge us, and that realization supposes the beginning of a dive by the words from which Miguel ends up convincing us that his readers are embarked on the same dreams and in the same awakenings. The illustrations manage to persuade us that language is the image itself, the elusive verification of what we escape through the faces of others. The beautiful book is therefore that remarkable coincidence in the time of image and word, of reading that we must do from the imagination freed from worn and discredited aesthetic canons.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In doing so the images show influences that have always been present in Angel’s work all along his career, such as (but not limited to) the graphic novel and “pulp” fiction (no the movie but the literary mode so popular in periodicals along the first part of the 20th century), a genre practiced by practically most of the important American and English writers from that age, such as Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Encouraged by his editor (Tragaluz Editores, Medellin), Angel wanted for long time to write an extensive novel after the publication of a  couple of poem books (2011, 2018), a well-received short stories book (2016) he himself characterized as “homo-stories”, several books about art, and above all, his first novel “Te quiero mucho poquito nada” which has become a sort of cult novel in Colombia dating as far as 1975.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The time to write such a book presented itself in unexpected circumstances associated with the 2020 lockdown. In the solitary confinement induced by the invisible enemy, Angel reflected on his life in the context of what he had done up to that point as a multifaceted artist, and those who he cares about and has loved. It was not an exercise. It became a state of mind. He focused on what he deemed important, considering himself a lucky person because of the incredible people he has had the opportunity to meet throughout life, the emotional support all have provided to each other, and in some instances, accompanying a common destiny.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           He wrote a novel about a man whose life was entangled in uncertainty since childhood, eventually becoming successful and learning the hard way about the complexity of love.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As part of the same examination, he spent many hours wondering about the value of friendship, and the importance of love as part of the existential experience.  The second group of prints is a selection of more than fifty linoleum engravings he created after the Miguel Series were completed (winter 2020) triggered by the input provided by both the novel and the engravings illustrating the story. This group of prints relate to the idea of individuals who in life cross our own path or join us on the trail. The theme may sound obvious but touches every human being aware of their nature. Those memories of people with whom Felix Angel have shared extraordinary experiences will be with him forever, in his mind and heart.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Can we capture all the discarded, rejected, degenerate, degraded and miscreant matter and repurpose it through these small acts of creation? What becomes of our environment when we cease to stratify matter into a tiered system of value and importance, and instead re-envision the disposable as a building block of the universe. If the trash we discard is made from matter just as we are, then what is the power of things? 
          &#xD;

           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           In the consistent repair and reimagining of the castaway matter in our lives, we interrupt our learned habits of relegating some items to the status of nonessential. By engaging with these vibrant materials, we reimagine the hierarchization of our material world. Artists Carol Paik and Katherine Earle are both “redefining the human relationship with materials as communicative” as a method towards bringing us “closer to an ecological sensibility.”

           Julio Valdez: Mapping the Layers
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This exhibition presents the work of Dominican artist Julio Valdez, framing his printmaking practice as the primary axis of a multilayered production process. In 1994, Valdez arrived in New York City to study at the legendary Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, an applied experience that changed the direction of his artistic career. Today he practices printmaking in tandem with drawing, painting, and mixed-media techniques. This layering process augments the richness of the resulting work. His craftsmanship walks hand-in-hand with an ongoing personal search for spirituality, creativity, a deeper cognition of his Afro-Caribbean heritage, and a sense of place.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This exhibition maps Valdez’s choices of media as particular routes through which he engages with his surroundings with greater clarity, constructing identity along the way. Just as his environment is made up of people of a range of races and backgrounds, he executes his work through a variety of techniques and media, lending itself to a more enriched understanding of his community through the work that it inspires. In Valdez’s art practice printmaking in its many disciplines allows him a deep exploration of the media and a malleable way to explore his own personal territories.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One recurring presence in his work is water. As an infinite abstraction of circumstance that connects his native Dominican Republic with his present-day home in the United States, water is a subject through which he challenges the notion of a Caribbean ideal,

           addressing issues of race, migration, and inequality
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . Through this lens, Mapping the Layers provides us with an opportunity to address key OAS issues such as race, inclusion, displacement, and diversity. This exhibition is aligned with OAS resolution 1093, which mandates the OAS member states to mark the Inter-American Week of Afro-Descendants “with activities that foster greater awareness and respect for the diversity of the heritage and culture of people of African descent.” Valdez’s work highlights the dichotomy present in Caribbean waters, as stunning scenery that has also facilitated the traversal of colonizing empires, resulting in slavery, imperialism, and mass tourism, prolonging the suffering and isolation of many of its inhabitants.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This mid-career exhibition allows the OAS AMA | Art Museum of the Americas to once again engage with Valdez, following his exhibition The Island and the Continent at the former AMA gallery in the OAS Main Building in 2003, and multiple showings of his silk aquatint and monotype print The Grey Echo (2002), then accessioned into the OAS art collection. We are reminded through this work that the true richness of the Caribbean is not only the grand flora and fauna, but the spiritual energy and heartbeat determined by its extensive history of migratory confluence and cultural syncretism.

           This exhibition presents how these six artists from different generations and cultural backgrounds are coping with the turbulent times we are all experiencing since early 2020. They have overcome adversity and inner conflict, channeling these trials into amazing works of art. The selection of works exemplifies how the artists have turned the uncertainty of recent times into an incredibly prolific creative period. These works pay attention to the richness and variety of technical, conceptual and personal styles that each artist brings to the exploration of the exhibition’s theme in their chosen medium.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The exhibition includes two printmaking wall installations consisting of a selection of linoleum prints by seasoned artist, curator, and writer Felix Angel, selected from more than 200 prints he created to illustrate his most recent novel, just published by Tragaluz Editores in Colombia. The photocollages of Patricia Encarnacion will be in dialogue with the textile art of another veteran Washington artist, Dominie Nash. They both create narratives surrounding experiences with the lushness of nature, where the leaf motive is central, but arriving from different perspectives, thus triggering opposite readings.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Ezequiel Taveras’ installations made from ceramics, rope and metal are strong and crumbly at once. Taveras suggests that the heart is as ancient, stout and brittle as uncertainty and resilience themselves. The language of contemporary painting is explored in the works of the painter and illustrator Mildor Chevalier and the artist and scientist Eric Finzi, with their striking and contrasting visual surface solutions of oil on panel and epoxy resin paintings. These two painters each represent a fresh approach to their discipline. This group of artists will present a coherent and inspiring collection of thought provoking works of art to remind us of the power of art to overcome adversity and achieve resilience.

           The powerful idea of taking down frontiers, fences, border  crossings, elements that divide us and turn  all the material from these dividers into works of art. For the last 6 years, Alexis Mendoza had been collecting material from border crossings from various locations in the world. In the series entitled  "Borderless," the artist established a connection  of  timelessness  and  emo­tional  context.  Explores  the  perspectives  around image-making in addition what is its relationship to the identity of the artist. The work oscillates between the  realms of nostalgia, poetry, or fantasy. The reality here is, as  Mendoza tries to evoke, that our journey is ultimately concrete and that the actuality of the image is palpable. -by Richard Pena

           Marcelo has been working as an international Artist in Residence at the JVS Project Space studios for a few weeks!

           He will be sharing with us a series of drawings, paintings, mixed medias in which he organizes a tour full of dreamlike images, restlessly expressionist. In his images, the representation games incorporate certain daily spaces that, suspended in the planes of his canvases, develop distant abstract landscapes in an unstable context where they seem to vibrate.

           The Heroines series is an intertextuality game with characters created by fiction and poetry writers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In the tableaus that make up the Heroínas series, the circle works as the unifying compositional axis. Faces framed in a circumference, such as the Pantocrator, or the angelic aura of certain cultures, therefore, in addition to heroism, the connotation refers to a particular hagiography: they are martyrs. As a stele of the experiential chronology, not only is the face of incisive look and the Afro hair depicted within the circular shape, there also appear elements for the deconstruction of the character: a snake, a map of the Old Continent, a knife, a pregnant woman, a ring, etc. The playfulness calls for a meeting with the writers whose literary fiction works inspired the characters of pictorial fiction, all of them women. In Ezequiel Taveras’ esthetic configuration there exists a distinctive seal, and that demonstrates his talent as a draughtsman: the strength, steadiness, and fierceness of the gaze.

  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/c45619ae/dms3rep/multi/Screen+Shot+2021-09-09+at+12.42.34+PM.png"/&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Matter and spirit. These two entities have a long history of being deeply intertwined, and for good reason. As we engage with the world around us, we also sense something more than what our eyes can see. What that other dimension is has been the subject of many explorations in verbal language – poetry, philosophy, metaphysics – as well as in the visual language of art. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           That other dimension is rarely visible. Finding a way to translate it into visual language has been an essential concern for both Fitzgerald and Gillman Crimmins. Matter and Spirit is a tribute to the restless shifting of light and energy. The other dimensions, other understandings present in this work are strengthened through their connections to the written word – poetry – as well as to the natural world, and to the imagination it calls us to.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The physical material both artists use nod to the idea that matter and spirit cannot be easily extricated from each other. Gillman Crimmins recycles everyday papers. Rolling them tightly, and carefully building up layers to create new forms, these pieces attest to the latent properties of those things associated with the spirit realm. Fitzgerald's use of 23k gold recalls its early applications as a sign of the sacred. Both artists use forms that are distinctly presentational. The roundness that both rely on speak to the wider physical world, and the non-linear properties of its spirit realm. The work embodies that aspect which carries us to the delineation, and unification between matter and spirit.

            What we were left to see...is an exhibition about looking both forward and back during the time of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The range of handmade paper works on view date from as far back as 2009 when I first started exploring the possibilities of drawing with sprouted seeds and their roots. To the great PAUSE of lockdown when I was inspired to start painting with pigmented pulps to depict the window views we were left to see while sheltering in place. The dominant theme of my second one-person show with JVS Project Space reaches even further back to my early interest in capturing a moment in time within the constant flux and entropy of our Environment.

      <title>Light and Poetics. The bridges of Central Park by Jose Thomas</title>

           To rebuild discourse around the visual poetics of José Thomas would seem to lead us in search of a narrative of elves and beings made of light, in which steeds run through magnificent forests and where the breeze begets dream melodies and magical songs; but we are, instead, referring to images of our Central Park seen under another light, with different eyes.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

                      &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           is images with an infrared camera (with no software to mediate) provide us with a poetics that is different from that o the bridges of Central Park, connecting us with a reality that is more sublime than the beauty of a landscape that has been photographed a thousand times.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Perhaps Thomas’ use of infrared photography (which is mostly used in scientific processes and allows science to see what our eyes regularly can’t register, from tumors to climate change), that light range not visible to the human eye, allows us to rethink the concept of what we see, or even the very idea of being able to perceive what we do not see in the landscape, or, rather, we could say that allows us to pack our every day experience in a different way, and thereby to question what we see and understand as reality, juxtaposing visions of dreams to the agitation of a city that moves at breakneck speed, beyond the possibilities of the human eye: Thomas compels us to dream.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           This vision of the bridges of the Central Park brings us closer to a moment of reflection on the realities that surround us. These bridges that John Lennon walked so many times, so as to make them part of his daily life, could have also inspired his dreams. These bridges can connect us with other limitless spaces, they may lead us to this magical place that Lennon asked us to Imagine

           Perhaps for a moment we can cross these bridges and dream of that ideal world where we can all live as one, and allow us to imagine that there is no heaven separate from us, but rather that we must change our way of seeing in order to understand that we inhabit that heaven.

           , the repeated economic shocks of the early 1990's, 1997, 2001 and 2008, compelled him to ask some tough questions. "How did we get into this? There's no war. There's no famine. You work hard, and something happens. Again and again. It has nothing to do with you."

           Valdez understood that an artist pursuing a traditional career—shows in galleries, commissions, teaching—would always be the first to suffer "when the economy has a little sneeze," as he put it. There were two problems.

           6x6 Ceramic Tile is an exhibition project of ceramic tiles conceived by artist and curator Ezequiel Taveras for Julio Valdez Studio (JVS) Project Space that invited artists from IDB member countries- selected by renowned curators in their respective nations - to participate with three pieces of ceramic per country. The exhibition brings together 72 works by 60 artists from 24 countries to express the contemporaneous in ceramic art. Each one of them has had the freedom to express - without limitation, through the use of a single substance and a common format of 6 x 6 inches - their distinctive ideas, concepts, and approaches, and in so doing, rather than creating distances, bring us together in a shared love of the material, the clay, the soil.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           As the exhibition’s chief curator, Ezequiel Taveras, emphasizes 6x6 is a creative challenge that not only facilitates the artists absolute freedom, but also opens a new path for the very expression of their works. In addition, we hope to launch a new challenge for the viewer who, accustomed to large formats of information, will need to interact with a small ceramic tile that today has been transformed into a unique work of art. More than just an object, it may also manifest a whole conception of life, creation, or existence.

           With 6x6 Ceramic Tile, we intend to link the cultures, thoughts, and aesthetic concepts common to the member countries of the IDB through a shared material and technique. This initiative, in addition to creating interactive opportunities among the artists, offers them a new space for international exposure. Following this exhibition, 6x6 will be opening this February 21 in SMV Gallery in NYC.

           Featuring a selection of prints that are no longer than four square inches in size, created in a variety of hand-pulled traditional and contemporary printmaking methods. We are exhibiting works by international artists representing 23 countries and 16 states.

           These miniature prints are a snapshot through which we can explore and discover the interests and individual styles of contemporary printmakers from around the world. While the size restriction limits the prints scale and margins, the artists employ a tremendous variety of techniques and printing possibilities, ever expanding the boundaries of contemporary printmaking.

           Visit our current exhibition of Photography by Jim Smith and Folded paper Drawings by Norma Márquez Orozco.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Jim Smith has worked as a freelance photographer for over 3 decades. While well known for his commercial work (with clients such as Walt Disney and West Point), Jim comes from a background in Fine Art from the Pratt Institute. That sensibility of a refined artist has stayed with him, setting him apart from the myriad of photographers.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Jim has created images he calls Warriors inspired by the sacred teachings of Chögyam Trungpa. His "Warriors" change the world not through violence, but through gentleness and the power of self-knowledge. These exotic and ethereal photographs provide an endless viewing experience.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Norma uses a variety of papers in multiple ways; often arranged in layers or molded into three-dimensional forms, making the work appear as a three dimensional drawing as well as sculpture. For most of her work she assembles repetitive geometric shapes and forms made of paper and other light materials inside envelopes or boxes of translucent paper.

           Against social gridlock and unilateral side-views, "Strength in Creative Diversity" is an exhibit that demonstrates the capability of eight heterogeneous artists to share their unique art under one roof and to be in harmonic dialogue together. What merge the artists are the commitment, truthfulness and integrity towards their professional creative careers.

           NYCity Visions is an illustration exhibition project based on the ideas of a group of New York-based illustrators. While these images express their concerns, tastes, feelings, and their multi-cultural backgrounds, most of all they illustrate their emotions about the city.

           The essence of Michele Brody's practice is to understand how we manage the ephemeral qualities of memory and experience within the constant flux of life. Building from this unpredictable foundation, she invites community interaction across a virtual threshold made from the natural materials of handmade paper, plants, tea and light to create a sense of elegance out of the simplest of gestures. Her intent is to evoke a visceral social encounter within a shared space that comments on the tenuous relationship between Nature and humans within the built environment.

           This was a special exhibition in conjunction with the OAS, on view at AMA F Street Gallery 1889 F Street, NW, Washington DC 20006

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           The exhibition provides an opportunity to observe the purity of pioneering photography techniques.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           The exhibited works result from decades of applied photographic research and visits to the United States to observe, first-hand, original works by photography pioneers. Selected portraits and landscapes use wet collodion, an early form of photographic emulsion. A glass plate or sensitized metal is exposed directly to sunlight with a chemical solution that enables rapid production of unrepeatable images, a procedure invented by Frederick Scott Archer in 1856 with the tintype patent.

           A 6 x 6 exhibition is a creative challenge for the artists, requiring them to restate their different reasons and concepts in a specific format. In this project, we believe we can open up a 6x6-inch window into a range of languages used by more than 20 artists. When executing work for this show, each artist had unlimited freedom of expression of ideas or concepts, through a single material in a common format. Rather than create distances, the artists’ different ideas, concepts and approaches will unite us in our shared love of the material, clay.

           WALLS OF FREEDOM is an interactive installation. This three-to-five year project was born when Nelson was invited to submit a proposal for a work about the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in Germany. During her research she felt the resonance of her own deep commitment to FREEDOM…as an abstract idea and its concrete necessity. Nelson will present this project in different countries and different venues, in search and discovery of different walls, and thoughts of walls and freedom, culminating in a mixed media collection recording the events.

            The Affordable Art Fair has just launched a blog where they will feature interviews with galleries participating in the fair in a new dedicated column entitled "Gallery Visits". They are kicking off the new feature to coincide with this fall's fair and we are excited to announce that we will be the first gallery interviewed!

            "Located at 176 East 106th Street in New York City, Julio Valdez Studio offers an array of contemporary art from prints to ceramics and everything in between! Since its establishment in 1994, Julio Valdez Studio has specialized in safe non-toxic printing techniques and currently provides grounds for creative collaboration through workshops and classes.

            Tell us what makes Julio Valdez Studio unique from other New York-based galleries?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Our unique history, the wide range and quality of art we produce and offer, and not being a traditional art gallery. My mentor Robert Blackburn, founder of The Printmaking Workshop in NYC in 1948, which introduced many artists, such as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, to the printmaking process, inspired my vision. We opened in NYC in 1994 and since then, Julio Valdez Studio, LLC has been a space for artists to learn, create and find community and inspiration through the creative potential of printmaking. We exhibit a multi-cultural group of artists and curate our booth carefully, giving an international flavor to our presentation.

           This show features work from three of Law's series: "What the Tide Brings," "Esopus Mystics, " &amp;amp; "Rude Mechanicals." The series span a variety of topics: the “Rude Mechanicals” explores how we are driven by deep,inchoate, biological mechanisms;“Esopus Mystics”is inspired by and uses bits of the natural landscape in the Hudson Valley of New York; and “What the Tide Brings” explores the kingdom between the water and the land and the gifts it provides those who visit.
