SUMMARY:in a blue time - solo exhibition by Justin Baker
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Wed – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm\nListen HERE for Justin’s interview with NCPR’s Mitch Teich  \n“hand\, shadow\, weed and New Yorker page.” Archival inkjet print\, 2018 \nJustin Baker’s exhibition\, in a blue time\, is a product of his extensive “and at times exhaustive” exploration of photography as an alchemic process and medium. In his most recent work\, Baker uses long-expired slide film\, but processes it as normal color film in order to introduce chance color possibilities. The color prints are then manipulated digitally\, allowing for further transmutation and the ability to add elements that didn’t previously exist.  \nin a blue time contains three distinct bodies of Baker’s work — each answering a unique question\, but all working in tandem.  \nA death in the family stemmed from two questions – “how can image-making be most simplified to be more direct?” and the second arising from the concurrent beginning of his fatherhood and imminent death of his own father. Critical to this body of work are the artist’s meditative thoughts on life and death and how these two aspects of life are necessary.  \nExodus from Mirth (a requiem for Sara Burdock) sees Baker returning to his interest in introducing more chance into the photographic process and color.  \n“Frodo’s Ghost XVII” Archival inkjet print\, 2019 \nFrodo’s ghost and other ephemera\, is the culmination of experimentation with other materials and process — primarily using 3 black and white negatives plus 3 RGB filters to create color separations. This method of color photography was the first viable means to create color photographs. With this ongoing body of work the concentration has shifted more towards the experience of time\, perception and illusory space. \nJustin Baker grew up in Greenwich\, NY. He attended Sage Jr. College of Albany for two years and studied Photography. The next two years were spent playing music and writing songs with his friends. Purchase College came next\, where his artistic strides led him to Printmaking and\, again Photography. In 2007 Justin received his MFA with a concentration in Combined Media at SUNY Albany. Justin teaches Digital Imaging and Web Art and Design at Hudson Valley Community College. He is also a board member of Collar Works Gallery in Troy\, NY. He currently lives in Troy\, NY with his wife Kyra\, daughters Lola and Rona\, and cats Lulu and Lilly. \n  \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.  The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nthank you to our sponsors:\n

SUMMARY:Katherine Chwazik
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception March 7\, 4 – 6pm. \nIn compliance with the public health recommendations and mandates\, the Courthouse Gallery will be closed through the month of March. 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

SUMMARY:Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle
DESCRIPTION:Courthouse Gallery Virtual Exhibition + Online Event:\nSculpture by Lee Malerich and Paintings by Michael Van Winkle\nMay 9 – June 12\, 2020\nView our recorded talk with the Artists!\nIn place of a Gallery Reception on May 9\, 2020\,  The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presented an online talk with exhibiting artists Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle. For those that were unable to tune in for the Live Talk\, follow the link above\, or click the photo. \n*Unfortunately the recording started ten minutes in\, so we are missing some footage of Lee\, who went first\, talking about her work. \nFollow these links to a brief slideshow film about each artist and their work:\nLee Malerich  \nMichael Van Winkle \nFollow these links to view work for sale:\nLee Malerich Checklist of works\nMichael Van Winkle Checklist of works \nThis exhibition will be installed in the gallery\, but while public health mandates related to COVID 19 are in place\, the gallery will remain closed\, and we will not host any receptions or meetings. We will reassess the situation as restrictions are eventually lifted\, possibly allowing for pre-scheduled gallery visits for individuals\, or very small groups. \nLee Malerich\, “Disguise”. 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. Learn more about Lee Malerich at leemalerich.wordpress.com. \nMichael Van Winkle\, “In the Wet with Shards”\, acrylic on canvas\, 46 x 30 inches. \nMichael Van Winkle’s paintings stem from a mix of observation\, invention and memory. 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.
