With a minimalist sensibility she draws inspiration from poems\, her personal experience and perceptions of the everyday. \nParallel Play is the term for a stage in early childhood development\, where children\, playing side by side\, do not interact\, though they may be doing the same thing. For example\, one may have a backhoe and the other may be playing with a crane\, but they do not cooperate to make something. Or\, if they’re at the beach they may each be building a sandcastle but they won’t build a city together. \nIn the context of this exhibition\, three related series of works: sewn fabric drawings\, large woolen quilts\, and tiny linen collages\, share the unique space of the Courthouse Gallery\, each adhering to its own\, independent\, installation plan. Seen together\, the works translate fleeting glimpses of color pairings into tactile reminders of place and experience\, becoming an abstract archive of things noticed. Just as one day folds into another\, and another\, it is their accumulation that gives form to the whole. \nTodd’s involvement with textiles began early. She says: “When I was seven years old my grandmother taught me how to knit. Our first project was a red mohair sweater.  At about the same time another well-intentioned mentor helped me to sew clothes for my Barbie doll. It’s possible my career as an artist began then… Ever since\, though I have worked with many different materials\, and read and looked widely\, textiles remain central to my practice. It’s the conversation between material and process and meaning that keeps me going”. \nBarbara Todd earned her B.A. in fine art from the University of Guelph in Ontario\, Canada. Her work has been featured in major exhibitions across Canada\, including her quilt series Security Blankets\, which was organized by the Southern Alberta Art Gallery\, and traveled throughout Canada from 1992 to 1995. More recent exhibitions include Sculpture – Art Textile\, Biennale de sculpture de St. Jean Port-Joli\, St. Jean Port-Joli\, Québec; Mohawk-Hudson Regional Invitational Exhibition (2020)\, Albany Center Gallery\, Albany\, NY; In Faux-Structure\, Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY; Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region (2019)\, The Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY; Fait-main/Hand-made\, Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec\, Québec; Bombhead\, Vancouver Art Gallery\, Vancouver\, BC; Home – Collar Works\, Troy\, NY; Interwoven\, Albany Public Library\, Albany\, NY; Reclamation\, Collar Works\, Troy\, NY; and Barbara Todd: Colour Play\, Galerie Art Mûr\, Montréal\, QC. Her awards include grants from the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec\, and residencies at Banff Centre for the Arts\, Banff\, Canada\, and Millay Colony\, Austerlitz\, NY. Her work is represented in many private and public collections\, including the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts\, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec\, the Canada Council Art Bank\, the Vancouver Art Gallery\, the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Canadian Museum of History.

A House For Arts: Calligraphy Meets Abstraction with Yeachin Tsai \, and view Look TV’s recent episode of “Where’s Dayna?” HERE. \nYeachin Tsai’s art swings between the seen world of rhythmic colors and forms\, and the unseen world of momentum and energies. While growing up in Taiwan\, Tsai studied traditional Chinese brush painting and calligraphy\, and she would later incorporate that training into her work after moving to New York. Rather than building up a painting surface\, she creates a surface that soaks in paint – canvases prepared with grounds that behave like traditional rice paper\, pulling the paint in. \nSummer Vibes\, acrylic on canvas\, 66 x 56 inches. \nShe says: “I’ve always been intrigued by form\, pattern and colors from nature. My interest may have started when I was four years old. I remember seeing the floating\, shining dust particles reflecting the sunlight in the stale attic air of my family’s old house. The magic quality of nowness left an unspeakable feeling in my mind… I want to create artwork that is primordial and timeless\, ancient yet modern. I wish to catch the symbolism and momentum of the flow. The materials are used to reflect the feelings and perceptions I have experienced in life – the ever changing\, transient\, fleeting moments of this dynamic\, chaotic yet harmonious worl \nYeachin Tsai earned her BFA degree from National Taiwan Normal University\, and MFA degree Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. Her recent exhibitions include Blue\, Gallery at 46 Green Street\, Hudson\, NY; Upstate Artists\, The Laffer Gallery\, Schuylerville\, NY; All is Safely Gathered In\, Spring Street Gallery\, Saratoga Springs\, NY; Small Works\, 440 Gallery\, Brooklyn\, NYC\,  Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region (2019)Exhibition\, The Hyde Collection\, NY\, The Unusuals\, Invitational\, The Painting Center\, Chelsea\, NYC; Printmakers Open Portfolio (part of the Screenprint Biennial 2018)\, The Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY;  Creations: Connections and Collections\, Albany Center Gallery\, Albany\, NY; Article 13\, The LAB at Collar Works\, Troy\, NY; Endless Forms Most Beautiful\, Four Person Show\, Scarlet Seven Fine Art Gallery\, Troy\, NY; and Winter Joy\, a solo exhibition at Pause Gallery\, Troy\, New York in 2019.

Harold Ford grew up in the foothills country between the Berkshire and Green Mountains bordering New York State. Raised on the old American pioneer songs\, at the age of four\, Harold began singing duets and harmonies with sister Dorothy. His father accompanied them on the banjo and Mother followed along with the piano. Music and a pioneering love of America became an integral part of his existence.As an adult\, Harold spent many years driving the cross country roads and corridors of America\, often with family in tow.  Weaving his way north\, south\, east\, west and settling in towns and villages along the way\,  Harold explored the back roads\, country woods and the people of this great land. As a true American figure and artist himself\, Harold Ford’s many experiences make him a storyteller in his own right and lend a deep identification to Johnny Cash’s music.

Come meet Laura Colomb in person! All visitors will be required to wear a mask\, and practice social distancing. \nLaura Colomb\, a native of Glens Falls\, on the southern border of the Adirondack Park\, has long been aware of the complex messages that weave through the desire for preservation of wild spaces. Her appreciation of the role State and National Parks play in allowing one to experience nature\, especially substantially wild areas\, is part of what informs her work as a painter\, as well as the complicated historical records of particular places\, often at odds with the natural beauty of the place. \nHer most recent work focuses on sites just outside her current city of Jacksonville\, FL\, primarily Kingsley Plantation\, Fort Caroline National Monument and the Talbot Islands State Parks. She says: “Most major natural spaces\, where one can really experience raw nature\, are through State and National Parks; many of which were initially protected due to their proximity to sites which contained historical significance. The density of these forests\, with the ominous rustle of creatures moving next to you\, but which you can’t see\, create a miasma of nightmare. Yet\, in the light\, the greenery\, and the scrub\, there is a rich beauty\, as if steeped in a world where time stands still\, where one can still momentarily get lost in the romanticism of the natural landscape.” \nLaura Colomb earned her BFA degree from the College of Saint Rose\, Albany\, NY\, a BA degree in French Studies from the University of North Florida\, Jacksonville\, FL and MFA degree at Boston University\, Boston\, MA. Recent exhibitions include Sensory Illusions\, The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach\, FL\, Contemplations\, Jax Makerspace\, Jacksonville\, FL\, and an upcoming solo exhibition at Onondaga Community College\, Syracuse\, NY. Her awards include an Art Ventures grant from the Community Foundation of Northeast Florida\, the Starr Fellowship from the Royal Academy of the Arts in London\, UK\, Best Emerging Regional Curator award from Metroland Magazine\, Constantin Alajalov Scholarship and Academic scholarship from Boston University\, as well as the Artist’s Award\, Visual Arts scholarship and Academic Scholarship from the College of Saint Rose. She has taught at the University of North Florida\, Boston University\, the College of Saint Rose and SUNY Adirondack. She has been a guest critic/speaker for the Camberwell College of Art in London\, UK\, The College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY and the Upper Hudson Valley Watercolor Society in Queensbury\, NY. She has curated and organized exhibitions for various galleries including Saratoga Arts in Saratoga Springs\, NY and North Main Gallery in Salem\, NY.

The works on view date from his return to art-making in late 2016\, with increasing focus and attention on developing his studio work in the intervening years. Since late 2018\, he has maintained a combination studio and office in Glens Falls\, and all of the works on view were produced there. \nCameron links his collage-making to his curatorial practice\, in part because they are connected through his process of acquiring art-related ephemera and fragments of visual culture for an ongoing art history archive\, in the process accumulating images that aren’t archival material\, but nonetheless possess a certain visual appeal. \n\nHe says: “I’ve worked steadily for forty years as curator — 32 of them without a parallel studio practice —\, and I feel more attuned than ever to the knowledge that the production of visual knowledge simply carries on\, irrespective of what platform is being used\, or by whom. I’ve also come to understand that my deepest impulses as a curator have been to introduce viewers to forms of artistic expression that are able to surprise them\, to produce dynamic & unexpected groupings of objects and environments\, and to induce viewers to reflect on their own lived experience. Interestingly\, my return to art-making these past five years can be understood as a case of me actually practicing what I preach\, because I’m consistently amazed by how much my unconscious has to reveal about my own way of navigating reality\, and how intricately bound up it is with the other work I’ve been making all along… \n\n\nAnother Lucky Friday\, 27 x 36 inches\, collage and marker on paper. \nWhen the pandemic shut down much of the art world in March 2020\, my collages became a lifeline to my own creativity. Multiple exhibitions I was working on had been postponed or worse\, and a book I was scheduled to write was cancelled\, so a lot of creative energy was going unspent at the same time that everyone’s activities became drastically more inner-directed. By May 2020\, my Glens Falls studio had become a refuge\, where I had the freedom to explore my thoughts and ideas without concerning myself with anybody’s eyes but my own. In the intervening year\, I’ve begun to appreciate anew that in my collages I’m doing what most artists do\, which is to create an imagined version of the world in order to mentally live inside it\, and to seek meaning where all kinds of pictures are flowing in\, out and around each other\, and where I’ve been able to set aside the rarest and most intriguing examples for myself.” \n\n\nRead Dan Cameron’s Full Artist’s Statement HERE. \n\nDan Cameron’s History with the Lake George Arts Project: \nAround Town\, 25.5 x 18.5 inches\, collage\, marker\, metallic paint & plastic on paper. \n\nDan worked summers as a college student in Lake George from 1975 to 1979\, and volunteered the final two years for Lake George Arts Project under its founding director Beth Rowe. \n\n\nFor the 1979 exhibition Prospect Mountain Sculpture Show: An Homage to David Smith\, Dan personally drove poet and art critic John Ashbery from his Hudson\, NY home to the summit of Prospect Mountain and back again\, with a glowing review of the exhibition by Ashbery in New York Magazine as the result.

Although this is his first solo exhibition as a visual artist\, as a curator he has organized international exhibitions throughout the US\, France\, China\, Mexico\, Spain\, Brazil\, Greece\, Turkey\, Sweden\, Ireland\, Portugal\, Argentina\, Chile\, South Africa\, Ecuador and Taiwan. He has held senior curatorial positions at the New Museum\, the Orange County Museum of Art\, and the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans\, and is the founder of Prospect New Orleans\, which premiered in 2008 and will open its 5th edition in October 2021. He has authored hundreds of essays and articles on contemporary art\, and taught at the graduate MFA faculties of Columbia University\, NYU and School of Visual Arts\, among others. In June 2021\, Dan’s book on the paintings of Nicole Eisenman will be published by Lund Humphries (London).

The internment of naturalized citizens as well as Americans of Japanese descent\, from 1941 to 1946\, informs much of Paul’s work of late.  The figures in his paintings recall the Issei\, a term used for first generation Japanese Americans who emigrated from Japan\, but were not eligible for U.S. citizenship. The distilled forms of field workers\, often placed in landscapes drawn from his own memory\, portray the strength and endurance of past family members\, but could easily represent present-day immigrant farmworkers. \nHe says: “My paintings reflect a relationship to the geography of my past and the silent rage and emotional shame that earlier generations were never able to express. The mountains illustrate the barriers to independence\, the furrows signify the possibility of regeneration\, and the clear\, expansive skies invite hope for the future.” \nPromise\, oil on canvas\, 30 x 24”\, 2021 \nPaul Akira Miyamoto earned both his Master of Fine Art and Bachelor of Fine Art degrees at Otis College of Art & Design. In addition to his studio art practice\, he was a Clinical Professor of Visual Communication at RPI for more than 20 years and still maintains a graphic design practice. His recent exhibitions include: Rear View: Life Examined\, Albany Public Library; Artists of the Hudson Mohawk Valley\, Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY; Body Language\, Albany International Airport Gallery and An Armory Show\, Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY.  His work has also been included in exhibitions at MIA Gallery\, Miami International Airport\, Miami\, FL; Brooklyn Zen Center\, Brooklyn\, NY; Contemporary Art Center\, North Adams\, MA; Albany Center Galleries; and The Art Center for the Capital Region\, Albany NY.

This exhibition will feature his most recent work\, all created within the last year. They are observations of daily life\, ranging from still life to landscape. Through the immediacy of his loose brush work\, these deftly painted works capture the intimacy of meditative moments of observation of light and color. Depending on his subject\, Brodie alternates his palette from bold saturated colors to warm soft light\, accentuated with flecks of a warm ground color peeking through. Any object\, such as a glass\, a can\, a chair\, a plant\, or a lawnmower\, can be transformed into a celebration of painting. \nPlague Spring No. 6\, 14”x11”\, oil on canvas\, 2020. \nHe says: “The series titles\, ‘Plague Spring\,’ ‘Beached in the Backyard\,’ and ‘The Waiting’ do refer to the pandemic\, or more precisely to the state of existing during the pandemic\, but they are open-ended and don’t dictate the subject matter… In terms of subject\, there is only a tangential connection. I generally don’t favor ‘topical’ work\, it tends to be newsy\, literal\, and has a short shelf life. But the staying-at-home and the waiting-for-it-to-pass have had an effect. For one\, it got me out of the house to do some plein air work\, but alas\, only as far as my back yard”. \n\nScott Brodie earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst\, and Master of Fine Arts in Painting & Drawing from the School of Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University\, Boston. His recent exhibition include “Something” (2-Person show with Paul Mauren)\, Onandaga Community College Gallery\, Syracuse\, NY\, 2020; “Affinities and Outliers”\, University at Albany Art Museum\, Albany\, NY\, 2020; “Roaring Twenties”\, Joyce Goldstein Gallery\, Chatham\, NY\, 2020; “Holiday”\, Labspace\, Hillsdale\, NY\, 2019; “Artists of the Hudson Mohawk Region”\, Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY\, 2019. His work has also been included in group exhibitions at Picotte Gallery\, College of Saint Rose\, Albany; Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY; Geoffrey Young Gallery\, Great Barrington\, MA; Massry Center for the Arts\, Albany\, NY; Albany International Airport Gallery\, Albany\, NY; and Pierogi Gallery\, Brooklyn\, NY.

Her autobiographical paintings spring from her experiences and exchanges with family\, friends\, students and neighbors. With close attention to current events\, and a keen eye for observing detail\, she depicts how technology is relied on and weaved into everyday life. Her subjects are carefully staged in various interior spaces\, often with dramatic lighting rendered through thick brushwork\, and surrounded by objects that inform each narrative. Her compositions reveal psychological states of her subjects\, her empathy for them\, as well as her love of light and texture in paint. \nShe says: “I am interested in the experience of real or perceived isolation that is a result of geographical place and in the ways we use technology to form connections. In our digital age\, new media have become a primary means of informational access for many people living in rural areas such as the Adirondack Park. In each painting\, I aim to connect my subjects to their broader context\, hinting at their engagement with global concerns…Those whom I meet speak of an interest to be engaged in culture and politics beyond their immediate locale; a reliance on often unreliable internet and cell towers; suspicion about how to tell which internet sources might troll or manipulate truth; and always pressure—pressure to piece together multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. It is evident\, too\, that there are frictions here that have resulted from acres of poverty with pockets of great wealth\, and shifting and aging populations; all of this I express through ordinary objects and people\, frayed cuffs and halos of light\, non-traditional alignments of the pedestrian and the sublime. And through this body of work\, I am becoming increasingly aware of theeasy assumptions we make about ourselves and others.” \n“Saving the planet’s biodiversity – one turtle at a time – Schroon Lake\, NY”\, oil on wood panel\, 16 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nSusan Hoffer​ ​earned her Bachelor in Art and Education at Molloy College and her MFA in Visual Arts / Painting at Johnson State College\, Johnson\, VT.

Working spontaneously\, these materials are cut\, bolted\, burned\, stretched\, melted\, or poured into works that are developed with no blueprint or specific plan. The pieces evolve as they are being constructed. Rosenzweig’s process relies in improvisation\, essential for invention and discovery\, as well as deliberation and precision\, needed for constructing 3-D works on and off the wall. \nHe says: “Moving through the stretches that mark my time in the studio\, each new series is typically prompted by a blend of specific and hazy motivators. In this latest spell\, I found myself looking at Baroque still life paintings. These were of commonplace objects\, both natural and man-made\, and often created without a deliberate expression of allegory or symbolism… My first piece in this sculptural gambit was a simple still life – a vase of roses\, carved in wood. Allowing the principle elements to remain representational\, I simultaneously engaged my toolbox of bold textures\, dissonant shapes and vibrant colors in an effort to find a pulse and generate some energy. This sparked another 3D still life\, and then another.” \nReferring to his new work in this exhibition he says: “Psychedelic\, cut-out shapes and saturated matte colors became a nod to animation cels and the cartoons I loved as a kid. Kooky characters and loose gestures emerged\, as if I was channeling my prepubescent self – someone who would incessantly doodle in the margins of my notebooks in school.” \nSteve Rosenzweig​ ​earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from SUNY Purchase. After receiving his BFA\, he moved to NYC and worked as a studio assistant to internationally recognized artist\, Red Grooms. Soon after\, he embarked on a decades-long stretch working as a Production Designer in the film\, television and theater businesses. He has been involved in projects spanning Independent movies\, Dr. Seuss-inspired children’s TV programming\, to a stage production which premiered at the Salzburg Opera Festival. Rosenzweig’s work is in the collection of the Beinecke Library at Yale University\, and in private collections both regionally and in Europe. Recently he was commissioned to create paintings for set decoration for ABC and Warner Brothers Television. He currently lives and works in New York State’s Hudson Valley. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.  Hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nPlease NOTE: Regular Gallery hours may change due to the COVID-19 health emergency.  For updates please call 518-668-2616\, ​or ​email laura@lakegeorgarts.org\, or visit www.lakegeorgearts.org. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z.

Working from a red undercoat creates luminous eye-popping effects where the red paint is exposed. It also serves to unify the contrasting forms weaving through the paintings intricate space. Solomon draws from many sources\, including early modernism\, surrealism\, abstract expressionism\, pop art and cartoon imagery\, to name a few. But Solomon finds inspiration everywhere. He says: “There is not a day that goes by that I am not inspired by something or someone. I’m very grateful for this.” Finding inspiration from so many places has led to a prolific painting career spanning many decades. \nHe says: “My paintings are a condensation of sensations received through juxtapositions of shape\, line and color\, interpreted into a visual language. Inventing a unique structure that positions disparate elements to the whole is one of the most challenging and motivation facets of making my art. I have been intrigued throughout my creative life with the similarities among all the arts as to how component parts assembled within a specific context come to a desired gestalt. It is the organization and orchestration in musical composition that I most profoundly relate to and have been influenced by.” \nRe-Encounter\, acrylic on canvas\, 24 x 18 inches. \nJack Solomon earned his B.A. from San Diego State College\, and M.A. from San Francisco State College.

DESCRIPTION:This coming September we are planing a series of 4 hybrid online events combining performances and discussions with a number of Amazing Jazz musicians!\nThe Lake George Arts Project is deeply committed to bringing people together to hear and see great music. Our Jazz at the Lake program isn’t just one of our favorite events\, the magic of this weekend of concerts is created by having amazing musicians perform with one of the most beautiful lakes in the country as the backdrop. Even if we were able to present in a traditional sense this year\, it just wouldn’t be the same. Keeping artists\, the audience\, staff\, and volunteers safe is our top priority and is a responsibility we take seriously. Through many conversations\, and with the input of artists\, stakeholders and the audience\, the Lake George Arts Project Staff and Board of Directors have made the unprecedented decision to cancel our traditional Jazz at the Lake program for this year.  We are instead presenting a series of virtual events we are calling Jazz at the Lake Reimagined that will stream renown Jazz musicians straight to your living room. \nMark your Calendars! \nJazz at the Lake Reimagined Virtual Series:\nThursday\, September 3 at 7pm: Nicole Zuraitis & Dan Pugach\nThursday\, September 10 at 7pm: Frederick Johnson & Michael Ross\nThursday\, September 17 at 7pm: Dan Tepfer\nThursday\, September 24\, at 7pm: Sarah Elizabeth Charles \nOur Jazz at the Lake Reimagined program brings amazing Jazz musicians together for a series of 4 hybrid events that combine performances\, a discussion with the artists and time to ask your favorite musician the questions you’ve been eager to have answered.  All four events will be streamed via Facebook\, YouTube and on The Lake George Arts Project website. Visit our Jazz At The Lake page to learn more about the program\, or join our mailing list (at the bottom of the page). \n  \n   \nthank you to our sponsors:\n   \n     \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/jazz-at-the-lake-2020-3/ LOCATION:lake george arts project\, 1 Amherst Street\, Lake George\, 12845 CATEGORIES:Jazz Weekend ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200711 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200815 DTSTAMP:20260416T184241 CREATED:20190605T165716Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190605T165716Z UID:8038-1594425600-1597449599@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Jenny Kemp DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is installed in the gallery and available for the public to view when we re-open on July 11\, 2020.

Biomorphic forms are created through hand-painted parallel lines that weave through space. Through pattern repetition\, overlapping shapes\, interactions of contrasting colors\, she creates an illusion of space and movement referencing nature\, biology and human experience. \nShe says: “This body of work is a continued concentration on line and pattern and its ability to embody conduits for trains of thought. I create rhythmic spaces where compositions begin with a revelatory moment and grow into a reactionary process in which linear marks thread\, converse and evolve into breathing forms with teeming energies. Housed within significant shapes that sometimes reference personal events and musings\, these become visual manifestations of discovery\, habitude\, and human navigation.” \nWhirlwind\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nJenny Kemp earned her BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison and MFA in Painting from the University at Albany. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country\, most recently at Gold/Scopophilia* in Montclair\, NJ and the Mandeville Gallery at Union College in Schenectady\, NY. She has been featured in publications such as 100 Painters of Tomorrow published by Thames & Hudson\, New American Paintings\, The Huffington Post\, Seattle’s City Arts\, New York Times\, and The New England Review. Kemp is also a recipient of a 2015 NYFA fellowship in painting and the 2015 Emerging Artist Award recipient from the Art Center of the Capital Region in Troy\, NY. She sits on the board of Collar Works\, an art space dedicated to the support of emerging and under-represented artists exhibiting challenging and culturally-relevant contemporary artworks in Troy\, NY where she lives and works. \nView a Checklist of works in the exhibition.\nView Jenny Kemp’s video animation “In or Out.”\nView a brief slideshow of Jenny Kemp works at LGAP.\nView Jenny Kemp Statement.\nView Jenny Kemp Resume.\nView LGAP’s  Talk with Jenny Kemp on July 11\, 2020.\nView a Short video of Jenny Kemp from PBS’s AHA!

The importance of sharing these photographs has been a dedicated undertaking\, as the prevalence of excess algae in Lake George is not a given\, but an anomaly for this type of lake.  It is a fact that algae naturally occur in all waterbodies\, but excessive algae growth does indicate a problem\, and we should be concerned. \n\nKathy sent us this statement about her research: \nCan we SAVE the QUEEN of American Lakes? \nLake George is an oligotrophic lake\, defined as a waterbody with clear\, deep water and little organic productivity (minimal plants and algae growth). \nLake George was classified in the 1940’s as Class AA-Special (AA-S)fresh surface water.  Five lakes in New York State have this AA-S designation\, indicating best usage as a source of drinking water\, swimming\,recreationand fishing. This ‘best use’ classification determines water quality standards that specify a maximum amount of a pollutant that can be present in a waterbody.  No reclassification of water quality has occurred since. \nBut what has changed?   Should we be concerned? \nLand use and development surrounding Lake George is causing what you see in these photos\, excessive algae growth.  Arapid increase in a population of algae (phytoplankton present in water) is defined as an algal bloom\, which should not be visible in an oligotrophic lake. \nA waterbody naturally ages over thousands of years.  Accelerated aging (what we are witnessing in Lake George within our lifetime)\, is a consequence of land use and development decisions.  These choices have increased water quality degradation and possible changes in lake classification\, from oligotrophic to mesotrophic (or eutrophic\, which is characterized by high nutrient loads that cause a significant increase in plant and algae growth\, as well as reduced water clarity and oxygen depletion).  ‘Cultural eutrophication’ is a term used to define an expedited aging of a waterbody caused by human activity. \nAre the algal blooms that have been documented in Lake George the ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’that demands our immediate attention?  How can we not recognize that the water quality changes that we are witnessing are so obvious?  That alone should prompt actionto preserve this nationally recognized resource that we are privileged to enjoy\, in all its capacity. \nThe nutrients and pollutants that are impacting Lake George’s water quality flow into the lake from unmanaged stormwater\, inadequately treated wastewater (which includes onsite septic systems and municipal wastewater treatment plants)\, fertilizer and pesticide use\, winter road salt and other pollutants within the watershed.  With the changes in the Lake’s water quality that we have all witnessed within the past 20+ years\, we can only hope that municipalities and towns within the Lake George Park begin to make changes in their regulations and enforcement.  In addition to municipal responsibility\, residents\, businesses (including motels)\, lake visitors and guests must act on the importance of conscientious lake preservation. \nMicroscopic analysis of the algae sampled from the lake within the past 10 years has identified many varieties of algae genus\, including algae that grows in sewage treatment plants.  The awareness of the genus of algae present in Lake George that identify ‘probable organic pollution’ indicates that there are outdated\, poorly designed and/or failing septic systems on the lands surrounding the lake.  This needs to be addressed. \nIt’s up to you… \nPreserving Lake George water quality is certainly more important than a green\, weed free lawn; an unobstructed view of the lake if it means that all trees and vegetation are removed from the property and shoreline for that view; and living with an antiquated\, poorly designed\, inadequately maintained or failing septic system.

Recycled wooden chairs\, 29 x 18 x 19 inches. \nAbout the Artists:\nBoth Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle create works depicting or referencing the human figure. Lee Malerich considers women’s issues\, and bodies\, as she recycles broken wooden furniture. Michael Van Winkle’s acrylic on canvas works depict figures in contorted postures\, literally pushing against the painting’s perimeters. Each in their unique way taps into shared aspects of our collective human condition. \nLee Malerich utilizes discarded chairs\, reassembling them into expressive sculptures that serve as metaphors for the female body. She says: “I make Uneasy Chairs. Chairs in which one cannot sit. Each chair represents a woman – They reflect the human body without describing it. They inhabit the body’s negative space. They contain many parts of many different chairs\, redesigned so they can continue to stand\, after losing a bit of themselves. Imagine scar tissue\, as the viewer notes the differences between a normal chair and these mixed and matched rebuilt modifications which are the poster girls of resistance. How is a woman’s composition altered when she has a baby on her hip? Or when the baby is still in utero?” \nLee Malerich earned her BFA and MFA in Fiber/Fabrics from Northern Illinois University\, DeKalb\, Illinois. Her work has been exhibited at many venues\, including Columbia College; Coker College; University of South Carolina; Columbia Museum of Art (all in South Carolina); The Ormond Beach Museum\, Ormond Beach\, Fl; Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft\, Louisville\, KY; North Carolina Folk Art Center\, Asheville\, NC; and Delaware Center for Contemporary Art\, Wilmington\, DE.  Her awards include three South Carolina Arts Commission fellowships in the area of Crafts\, and one Regional National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She currently lives in Neeses\, SC.

His recent paintings explore a broad tradition of representational painting and its relationship to abstraction. He says: “Dancers\, explorers and amateur philosophers; the figures in my paintings and drawings are earnest and silly. They are working hard to discover meaning within the bounds of their environment. Their bodies are poised and their positions strain for purpose. However\, the paintings aren’t primarily concerned with their actions or intentions\, but focus on their material constraints and the painted environment they inhabit.” \nMichael Van Winkle earned his BFA in Painting\, with a Minor in Philosophy\, from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University\, NY\, and his MFA in Painting from State University of New York at Albany. His work was recently exhibited in solo shows at The Times Club\, Iowa City\, IA; ECA+ Gallery\, Easthampton\, MA; Historic Northampton Museum\, Northampton\, MA; Yates Gallery\, Siena College\, Loudonville\, NY; The Foundry for Art\, Design and Culture\, Cohoes\, NY; and in group shows at LabSpace\, Hillsdale\, NY; Collarworks Gallery\, Troy NY; and Artspace\, New Haven\, CT. His awards include residencies at The Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency in Granville\, NY;  Ragged Edge Print Studio\, Cohoes\, NY; and Vermont Studio Center\, Johnson\, VT. He has taught at Skidmore College\, Siena College\, The Doane Stuart School\, SUNY Albany\, and College of St Rose. He currently lives in Mechanicville\, NY.

Please stay tuned for updates.\nPlease Click HERE to view a brief slideshow of Katherine’s exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery\, or view same photos below. \n\nThrough combined processes of printmaking\, drawing\, and sculpture\, Katherine Chwazik creates layered architectural imagery inspired by places in and around the Capital Region of Albany\, NY. This recent work explores the meaning of home and place for herself\, as well as other current and former residents of Albany County. Chwazik interviewed a number of regional residents\, gathering memories and emotional impressions\, visiting the homes themselves to make observational drawings. \nWhile the drawings become the structure of a piece\, the residents’ recollections guide her goal to capture the mood and experience of their homes. She says: “I use printmaking and sculpture to fluidly inform one another and to build hybrid objects. I construct spaces that reference the local and regional urban environment to evoke a sense of place. Many of the spaces I create are familiar and believable\, but not factual or possible.” \nOne of the works in the exhibition\, “Smallbany\,” is a 7-foot woodblock print depicting a cityscape composite of a number of Albany’s notable buildings.  She says: “The title pokes fun at the city’s nickname while simultaneously highlighting how truly monumental some parts of the city can feel.” \nKatherine Chwazik earned her M.A. from The College of Saint Rose\, where she also completed her dual concentration B.F.A. in Art Education and Drawing and Painting. Her work was recently exhibited at Albany’s Architecture through Artists’ Eyes\, Historic Albany Foundation\, Albany;  Algorithms\, Scarlet Seven Fine Art Gallery\, Troy\, NY; Tchotchke\, Nine Pin\, Albany\, NY;  Fence Select\, The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, Troy\, NY; Impressive\, Albany Barn\, Albany\, NY; and Compound Fragments\, Albany Center Gallery\, Albany\, NY. Her awards include a DEC Arts Grant / Individual Artist Commission in 2018  for Memory and Observation; A Mixed-Media Study of “Home”\, and a Juror’s Choice Award for BUILT\, through Historic Albany Foundation\, 2017. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; 518 Profiles; Mannix Marketing; Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation; and LGAP members.  Please Join us today! \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY. \nPlease NOTE: Regular Gallery hours are temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 health emergency.  Call 518-668-2616 or visit www.lakegeorgearts.org for updates. \n  \nthank you to our sponsors:\n                 \n        URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/katherine-chwazik-3/ CATEGORIES:Courthouse Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
