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. The exhibition runs through August 14\, 2020. \nFor updates on our gallery hours please call 518-668-2616\, ​or ​email laura@lakegeorgarts.org. \nIn place of an on-site gallery reception\, LGAP hosted a Live Talk with Jenny Kemp​ ​on July 11th\,  recorded HERE. \nShelter\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nWadding\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \n\nJenny Kemp’s vibrant abstract paintings\, drawings and animations reflect phenomena of the natural world. 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!

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.

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:Ken Ragsdale
DESCRIPTION:Memory As Process RevisitedA solo exhibition of work by Ken Ragsdale\nNov 2 to Dec 6\, 2019 \nOpening Reception: Sat\, Nov 2\, 4-6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours:Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pmSat 12 – 4 pm. \nKen Ragsdale’s work is constructed from his childhood memories\, particularly of camping in the Pacific Northwest\, and his current reflections on the growth of America as a nation. His work creates an atmosphere of tension and anticipation generated by open space and large scale\, and by ambiguous forms in incongruous spaces. In this\, even the most mundane events of his past are reformed into epic visual stories.  \nRagsdale says: “I try to illustrate in my work\, on as many levels as I can\, the callous\, ironic\, and indifferent manipulations related to the national belief in manifest destiny. At the same time\, I want to expose and illuminate the beauty and welcoming comfort of the landscape that remains and my relationship to it.”   \nKen Ragsdale’s photographic works are likewise literal constructions. He begins by making rough sketches of places and things from his past that tie to contemporary themes. These sketches become working drawings\, and from these\, complex schematics\, which are cut out\, folded\, and tabbed into colorless three-dimensional forms. He then moves to the camera\, using the lens to create the final image\, and arranging his studio lighting to create color and atmosphere. \nExhibition reviews online:Albany Times UnionGet Visual \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:SEVEN COUNT: "After the Tone"
DESCRIPTION:Running from September 14 through October 19\, 2019\, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents After the Tone\, a unique multidisciplinary\, improvisational\, multimedia installation which will include two separate live performances created by the artist collective Seven Count: Angus McCullough\, Jake Nussbaum and Adam Tinkle.  \nOn September 14\, 6.30 pm\, Seven Count will play a variety of instruments (trumpet\, saxophone\, guitar\, percussion) and a vast library of samples\, taking audiences on a genre-bending improvisatory trip embedded in the immersive installation they created specifically for the Courthouse Gallery.  (Lake George Arts Project Jazz Weekend fans\, note that this event takes place between sets of musicians performing in nearby Shepard Park\, allowing time to attend both.) There will be a closing reception on October 19\, 4 – 6 pm\, including a second live performance at 5 pm that is the culmination of content gathered during this 5-week exhibition.  All events are FREE. \nThe exhibition After the Tone is expected to evolve in response to viewer participation. Adam Tinkle\, Seven Count member\, explains: “After the Tone is an immersive\, interactive collage in multiple media: including sound installation\, archival ephemera on paper and video\, and a deck of cards for divination and creative strategy. The continuous soundscape projected from around the gallery offers a space for meditative reflection\, while the other elements suggest new ways to listen and provide pathways for discovery and inspiration. Though disparate in form\, these varied threads all emerge from the artists’ years-long process of improvised music-making\, pirate radio broadcasting\, collaboration with friends and strangers\, and resulting development of a cosmology of sound and social interaction.” \nSeven Count is Angus McCullough\, Jake Nussbaum and Adam Tinkle. Its collective output to date includes two LPs of music (on Risky Forager Records)\, three gallery exhibitions (at Border Patrol in Portland\, ME\, at BUOY in Kittery\, ME\, and at Community Arts Phoenixville\, PA)\, an editioned ‘zine with cassette (shown at artist book fairs across the Northeast)\, a sonic dinner and tea ceremony\, as well as numerous live performances and radio broadcasts. \n\nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The 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 Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nthank you to our sponsors:

SUMMARY:Location\, Location\, Location
DESCRIPTION:Location\, Location\, Location features three distinct perspectives in landscape painting: \nJoshua Brehse\, inspired by the landscape and history surrounding his home in NY state’s Upper Hudson Valley\, creates unique sculptural three-dimensional paintings molded from wood and encaustic paint. \nMatt Chinian’s intimate\, painterly and refreshingly unpretentious plein air works are inspired by both urban and rural sites near his home in Washington County\, and throughout upstate New York. \nThrough her dramatic narrative paintings\, Kellyann Monaghan\, like a weather reporter with an eye on real-time current events of environmental disasters from floods to fires\, records the impacts of our changing climate. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, July 13\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm. \nJoshua Brehse\n \nJoshua Brehse’s recent works contain encaustic paint on hand-cut pieces of wood assembled into a variety of configurations. These three-dimensional\, irregularly-shaped works range from descriptive to abstract\, all rooted in landscape. He says: “Throughout my career the landscape has been my primary inspiration. For over fifteen years I have been incorporating the unique characteristics of encaustic paint (beeswax) into my work and continue to find new applications for this incredibly versatile and seductive medium. Being a lifelong resident of the Hudson River Valley\, I am very much drawn to the long history of American landscape painting and see my work as part of that continuum.” \nJosh Brehse earned his BFA in Painting from Boston University and MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College\, Montpelier\, VT. His work has been exhibited at a number of galleries throughout the Northeast region\, including Gallery at Rhinebeck\, Rhinebeck\, NY; Andrea Keogh Gallery\, Litchfield CT; Carrie Haddad Gallery\, Hudson\, NY; Atwater Gallery\, Rhinebeck\, NY; Hudson Mohawk Regional at the Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls (2013); Albany Institute of History\, Albany NY; Hudson Opera House\, Hudson\, NY; Woodstock School of Art\, Woodstock\, NY; Diane Birdsall Gallery\, Old Lyme CT; Vermont College\, Montpelier\, VT; The Stage Gallery\, Merrick\, NY ; Boylan Gallery\, Rhinebeck; and the Barrett Art Center\, Poughkeepsie\, NY. \n  \nMatt Chinian\n \nMatt Chinian is a prolific landscape painter\, working in oil. Matt travels throughout upstate New York seeking subjects – both urban and rural. Working quickly on site (usually less than 2 hours per painting) allows him to capture fleeting atmospheric light conditions. He says: “Like a reporter I record time and place of my wanderings around Upstate New York and New England. I find places and scenes that fascinate me: quiet woodland or gas station\, farmland or industrial site\, places I see in passing\, sometimes from the corner of my eye often times easily overlooked. This is where I find the beauty and the sublime.” \nMatt Chinian earned his BA in Sculpture and painting at Bennington College\, Bennington\, VT and 1988 MFA in Sculpture and Drawing at the University at Albany\, State University of New York\, Albany NY. His work has been exhibited at many venues throughout the region\, including The Laffer Gallery Schuylerville NY; Amp Galleries\, Saratoga Springs  NY; Landscapes for Landsake\,  Coila\, NY; Saratoga Springs Public Library; Folk Life Center\, Crandall Library\, Glens Falls\, NY; Salem Art Works\, Salem\, NY; Saratoga Springs Visitors Center; Uncommon Grounds\, Albany\, NY; Goodrich Gallery\, Williams College\, Williamstown\, MA; Munson Williams Proctor\, Utica\, NY; Everson Museum of Art\, Syracuse\, NY; SUNY Albany\, Albany\, NY; and The Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY. \n\nKellyann Monaghan \n \nKellyann Monaghan’s dramatic paintings and mono-prints are inspired by nuances of light\, atmosphere and weather. Her recent works maintain a painterly directness in depicting catastrophic weather and its effect on the landscape and human made structures\, evoking a sense of both anxiety and awe of natural phenomena. She says: “Stormy weather and extreme climate conditions permeating the natural landscape have become a new trajectory in my painting. The surface of the paintings erupts with textured and expressive gestural marks\, which are depictions of radical weather events. The weather is instinctive inspiration for my tendencies as an alla prima (wet on wet) painter.” \nKellyann Monaghan earned her BFA in Painting from Moore College of Art and Design\, Philadelphia\, PA and MFA in Painting\, from Brooklyn College\, Brooklyn\, NY. Her recent solo exhibitions include Artist of the Month\, Edward Hopper Art Center\, Nyack\, NY; Brooklyn Landscapes\, Exhibit Salon\, Brooklyn\, NY; Cityscapes: Rivers\, Bridges and Towers\, Piermont Straus Gallery\, Piermont\, NY; Recent French Landscapes\, St. Asaph’s  Gallery\, Philadelphia\, PA; Landscapes\, Earlville Opera House Gallery\, Earlville\, NY. Her awards include a La Muse Artist Residencyat Labastide Esparbaireneque\, France; an Exhibition Grantfrom the Lower Manhattan Cultural Alliance; and a Greenwall Foundation Grantfrom Brooklyn Public Library.  She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Adelphi University in Garden City\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The 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 Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. \nArticles and info online:\nLake George Mirror \nthank you to our sponsors:

SUMMARY:Brian Cirmo
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, March 9th\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n   \nOften working in a series\, prolific painter Brian Cirmo sources western painting\, literature\, popular culture\, and personal memories to create his narrative paintings. His works are both poignant and humorous\, intelligent and sharp-witted examinations of the “human condition\, such as life and death\, love and loss\, evolution and creationism\, comedy and tragedy\, fame and anonymity\, conflict and harmony\, and morality and immorality.” \nHe explains: “I have spent the past two decades traveling throughout the country visiting museums\, large cities\, small towns\, national parks\, civil war battlefields\, assassination sites\, graveyards\, and national monuments. I am a lifelong student of the vast profundity of American music as well as a glutton for American history\, literature\, western painting\, film\, comic strips\, and cartoons; all of which have consumed my nights and days. These interests and practices are harvested and used within my process to create an intertextuality in the paintings.” \nCirmo was born in Utica\, NY and completed his first two years of college at Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute. He earned his B.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY\, and an M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the State University of New York at Albany. Cirmo has had multiple solo exhibitions including recent shows at the Burrell Roberts Triangle Gallery\, Sinclair College in Dayton\, OH; the Rice Gallery\, McDaniel College in Westminster\, MD; and the Wilson Art Gallery\, Le Moyne College in Syracuse\, NY. He has appeared in numerous group exhibitions in museums and galleries across the country including: Mills Gallery\, Boston Center for the Arts in Boston\, MA; The Hyde Collection Museum in Glens Falls\, NY; Kellogg Gallery\, Cal Poly University in Pomona\, CA; and Antenna Gallery\, New Orleans\, LA. His awards include an Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency in Granville\, NY; the 2017 Mona Ruth Brickman Artist of the Year Award from Albany Center Gallery; a 2009 and 2013 Juror’s award at the Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region; and in 2009 and 2015 a University at Albany Purchase Award at the Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region Exhibition. His work is in the collections of University Art Museum in Albany; Siena College; and the College of Saint Rose. \nCirmo lives and works in Albany\, NY and Syracuse\, NY and is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Onondaga Community College. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:Adolph and Joshua Rosenblatt
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 10\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n \nAdolph Rosenblatt’s ceramic works celebrate people in their everyday lives – from the diner cook flipping eggs\, the customer at the lunch counter\, to a young student learning to draw. They also capture a sense of a place – depicting the house on the hill or the giant oak tree in the neighborhood – as well as capturing significant and dramatic moments from news headlines. Adolph Rosenblatt passed in February of 2017 at the age of 83. At that time Jim Higgins from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote “Rosenblatt started out painting two-dimensionally\, but with a palette knife rather than brushes. The thickness of those paintings led him to sculpting in beeswax\, then casting in bronze. When the cost of bronze prompted him to look for an alternative\, he took inspiration from his sons’ schoolboy projects and began working in clay. But he retained a painter’s passionate concern with color.”  Milwaukee Sentinel art critic Dean Jensen wrote in 1982: “The longer one studies Rosenblatt’s clay works … the more they suggest Expressionist pictures that somehow left the canvas and took on a third dimension. \nAdolph Rosenblatt was born in New Haven\, CT\, 1933. He earned his BFA from Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1956. While at Yale he studied with art world luminaries Josef Albers\, James Brooks\, and Bernard Chaet. He was a beloved and celebrated Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for over 30 years. He had numerous solo exhibitions throughout the country\, most recently “Moments & Markers”\, a major retrospective exhibit at the Jewish Museum\, Milwaukee. Other solo shows include exhibitions at Lill Street Gallery\, Chicago; Tibor de Nagy Gallery\, NY; Anderson Art Museum\, Kenosha\, WI; Milwaukee Art Museum\, Haggerty Art Museum\, Marquette University Gallery of Wisconsin Art; Charles Allis Art Museum; and Peltz Gallery\, all in Milwaukee\, WI. His work was included in group exhibitions at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum\, Providence\, RI; Yale School of Design Gallery\, New Haven\, CT; Forum Gallery\, New York\, NY; Kohler Art Center\, Sheboygan\, WI; Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry; Objects Gallery\, Chicago\, IL; Tibor de Nagy Gallery\, NY; Dean Jensen Gallery\, and Peltz Gallery\, both in Milwaukee\, WI. His awards include Wisconsin Arts Board Grant\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, Research Award\, Midwest Arts Fellowship. In 2013 he was given a Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award. His work is in the collections of the Library of Congress\, Ft Wayne Museum of Art\, Carlisle Museum of Art\, Williamstown Museum\, and Milwaukee Art Museum. \n \nJoshua Rosenblatt\, son of Adolph\, often works in a series\, building on a theme by drawing from life\, which is later expanded and completed in his studio. His most recent works are charcoal on paper drawings that record his day-to-day life experiences. His work as Director of Collections and Exhibitions Preparation at the Whitney Museum in NYC often finds him traveling to install exhibitions throughout the US\, Europe\, Russia\, and Asia. His travels resulted in a series of work observing people in public spaces\, such as airport terminals\, and another set of drawings depicting hotel room interiors. Other themes developed through observing the changing light and shadows on an exterior wall of his home over the course of several years\, views from his daily commute to work\, as well the view through his car window. His reflections of seemingly “mundane” places\, be it from business travel\, or walks through his neighborhood\, celebrate the easily lost details of how light\, reflections\, patterns\, and human gestures\, create a unique mood and sense of place. Much like his father\, Joshua’s drawings\, ranging from big and bold to light and delicate\, share a compassion for humanity in their sensitivity in depicting people\, recognizing the nuance of places\, and much that is overlooked in a “busy” world. \nJoshua Rosenblatt earned his BFA from SUNY Purchase in 1986. Recent exhibitions include his third solo show at The RE Institute in Millerton\, NY\, a 2000 square foot exhibition space\, where he displayed a number of large-scale drawings. His work has been included in group exhibitions at Brooklyn Cider House\, The Williamsburg Art and Historical Center\, Shim\, Paper Box\, Brooklyn Fireproof\, Arthelix – all located in Brooklyn\, NY; Charles Allis Art Museum\, Gallery of Wisconsin\, J.C.C. Gallery\, all located in Milwaukee\, WI; White Box\, New York\, NY; One Mile Gallery\, Kingston\, NY; and Portland Gallery of Art\, Portland\, ME. He lives and works in Astoria\, NY. \nWhile we feature here the work of these two members of the Rosenblatt family\, this is a family of accomplished creative poets and painters: Suzanne\, Adolph’s wife\, and Joshua’s mother\, is a poet and visual artist; Adolph’s daughter Sarah is a poet; Eli\, Joshua’s twin brother\, is also a painter. The family also has close ties to Lake George\, having vacationed in the region for many years. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:"Retroflection"\, paintings by  Frank Owen
DESCRIPTION:September 21 – October 26\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: Friday\, September 21\, 5 – 7 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nReview online: Review online: Lake George Mirror \nFrank Owen\, Searcher (2018)\, Acrylic on canvas\, 50 x 40 inches. \nFrank Owen’s paintings are a vibrant mix of colorful abstract works\, both large and small in scale.  He says: “I always say\, there are no bad colors. I want the paintings to feel rambunctious. Extravagant. Unruly.”   The works glisten\, due to a unique painting process incorporating many layers. Using polyethylene coated paper\, he creates a “skin” with a variety of abstract shapes\, swirls\, plaids\, and stripes that he later cuts\, scores or carves. He’ll create dozens of these “skins\,” more than he’ll need\, finally peeling off individual shapes from the plastic\, incorporating them into his paintings.  He says: “I begin to peel them off the poly\, and I place them\, compose them. But the whole process is front-to-back. It’s the opposite of the conventional way of layering an image. The first skins I lay down will appear as the front layer of the painting.”  Many works are inspired by the natural world around him\, near his home in Keene\, NY. \nFrank Owen was born in Kalispell\, Montana in 1939\, but spent much of his childhood in Woodland City\, west of Sacramento\, California. He received his B.A. and his M.A. from the University of California at Davis\, where he received a Regents Fellowship in 1967-1968. He was twice awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1978-79 and in 1989-90. Owen’s work has been shown in galleries\, museums and universities throughout the United States and Europe.  For many years he has shown his work at Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York City. He lives and works in the Adirondack Mountains\, in Keene\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:Roots and Branches: Work by Betsy Krebs
DESCRIPTION:June 22 – 30\, 2018 \nOpening Reception Friday\, June 22\, 5 – 7 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n  \nRoots & Branches: Work by Betsy Krebs\nA visual conversation about an unassuming building in Lake George\, NY\, and its impact on the community. \nBetsy Krebs says the genesis of the exhibit “Roots and Branches” evolved from a strong desire to bring attention to the unique humanitarian history and events that have taken place at the Old Stone School House\,a historic building located in the Town of Lake George\, and her former place of residence. Krebs says this “stoic folk Victorian structure exudes strength and protection as a community strong hold. While teaching locally and living in the school house\, my dream was to find out more about the space\, since a lot of information was undocumented oral history.  Notable Metropolitan opera singer Madam Homer was known to sing at the school house every Sunday during summer months. Georgia O’Keeffe was known to take walks on Middle road\, as told by local\, Clara Mae Norton.  Another notable neighbor was Edward Morse Shepard\, the man that Shepard Park\, in the Village of Lake George\, is named after. He also built and lived in what is known as Erlowest\,right down the hill from the school house.  The works in the exhibition are a spin off from a recipe book compiled in 1910 by the ladies of the ‘Lend a hand’ club that used the building as a meeting place after hours and on weekends\, working to find ways to help the community. The recipes they compiled were the catalyst for each image in the exhibit. Recipes were submitted by local community members\, as well as seasonal residents.” \nBetsy Krebs earned her M.S. in Art Education from the College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY. Her work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the NY North Country\, including the Albany Boys Academy in Albany\, NY; the College of Saint Rose; the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam College\, Potsdam\, NY; the Cool Beans Cafe Gallery in Queensbury NY; Valley Artisans Gallery in Cambridge\, NY; The Hyde Museum in Glens Falls\, NY; the Saratoga Arts Center\, Saratoga\, NY; Adirondack Community College\, Queensbury\, The Lake Placid Center for the Arts and L.A.R.A.C. Arts Gallery in Glens Falls\, NY. \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 Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. This exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z.

SUMMARY:"Rest Area" A Solo Exhibition of work by Rob O'Neil
DESCRIPTION:May 5 – June 8\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 5th\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nReview online: Albany Times Union \n  \nRob O’Neil finds beauty in unexpected places\, particularly Rest Stops\, found along highways all through the country. He is fascinated by their variety in size and amenities: some highlight past history; some are peaceful settings with gardens\, and are family friendly; others are mall-like\, selling goods; some are simple with only a picnic table and a trashcan.  They are necessary places\, all sharing a common goal: “…off-road spaces with provisions for emergency stopping and resting by motorists for short periods” (A Policy on Safety Rest Areas for the National System of Interstate
and Defense Highways\, 1958). After earning his undergraduate degree\, O’Neil took a job that had him driving a box truck across the Eastern United States several times a year. Rest areas became a vital part of his driving experience.  He says: “Like a draftsman’s line across a white sheet of paper\, highways and interstates paint sweeping arcs and pin-straight lines across the landscape. Multiple midpoints exist on these lines; they’re called rest areas\, travel plazas\, picnic areas\, pit stops\, or welcome centers. Even with the constant drone of traffic\, these are areas of comfort and serenity. There is a structure and plan that makes sense; we breathe\, and our weary bodies relax a little bit. These places are interesting and useful physically\, sociologically\, and emotionally.” \nRob O’Neil earned his BFA with a concentration in photography from the University of Akron\, Ohio and his MFA in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His work has been exhibited at many regional galleries and museums\, including Esther Massry Gallery; Albany Center Galleries; Albany Institute of History and Art; Opalka Gallery; University at Albany Museum; and Albany International Airport Gallery\, all located in Albany\, NY; The Arts Center of the Capital Region\, Troy\, NY; Saratoga Arts\, Saratoga Springs\, NY; and the Schenectady Museum\, Schenectady\, NY. His work has also traveled to many universities throughout the country\, including Siena College\, University of Akron\, Florida International University\, University of Nevada\, and the University Museum Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.  His awards include a NYFA Special Opportunity Stipend Grant; numerous College Professional Development Grants\, as well as an Artists and Scholars Grant\, both through the College of St. Rose. He is a three-time recipient of a Mohawk Hudson Regional Purchase Award\, one for the University at Albany University Museum\, and two for the Schenectady Museum.  He currently lives in Albany\, NY and is an Assistant Professor of Photography at The College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Adirondack Studios\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, a Professional Development Grant through the College of St Rose\, and theNew York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment.

SUMMARY:Just Beyond the River\, mixed media work by Daesha Devón Harris
DESCRIPTION:March 10 – April 13\, 2018 \nOpening Reception Saturday\, March 10\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n   \nDaesha Devón Harris is a mixed media artist weaving texts with images\, historical and current\, that often focus on her own home town community of Saratoga Springs\, NY. By subtly combining biographic information of her subjects within her mixed media/photographic work\, she documents the challenges facing urban neighborhoods\, the severe effects of gentrification on many communities\, as well as the diverse and rich contributions of many through history that are rarely\, if ever\, told. She says: “Through my artwork I strive to promote a sincere understanding of the contemporary and historic contributions of people of color … with insight\, compassion and protectiveness I endeavor to capture the ‘life’ that continues to evolve amidst struggle and success. And with ardent respect for a profound past\, I challenge the viewer to consider the complexity of issues facing communities of color.” \nJust Beyond the River features selections from Harris’ series of mixed media pieces\, made using a personal collection of unidentified discarded Victorian era portraits. In production over multiple years\, throughout every season\, her process includes submerging a transparent version of a portrait in a body of water amongst an arranged aquatic still-life and photographing the constructed scene. The resulting image\, layered with various visual elements from the past and the present\, is in fact a single frame embodying all components in the same space. Also featured are selections from Harris’ newest exploration of underwater imagery that combines time-lapse photography with choreographed movements and reenactments. This work is inspired by Negro Folklore\, Slave Narratives and Harlem Renaissance poetry and aims to illuminate America’s enduring legacies of colonialism and systemic racism that defines our nation’s history\, while reiterating the central narrative that emerges from the referenced memoirs – the ongoing struggle for Freedom. \nDaesha Devón Harris earned her BFA in Studio Art from the College of Saint Rose\, Albany\, NY\, and her MFA in Visual Art from The University at Buffalo\, NY. She has been featured in numerous exhibitions across New York State\, and beyond. Her work was recently exhibited at the 80th Mohawk-Hudson Regional at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls\, NY; Many Rivers: Black Dimensions In Art\, 40 Years at the Saratoga Art Center; the 37th Annual Photography Regional at the Opalka Gallery in Albany; Reclamation at Collar Works Gallery and Just Beyond The River at the Rensselaer County Historical Society\, both in Troy\, NY. Along with her work as a visual artist\, Harris is active in her community as a youth advocate and cultural history preservationist. Her awards include grants from NYSCA/Saratoga County Arts Funding\, and she has been a featured artist and speaker at many art\, community and educational events\, including the 15th Annual Underground Railroad Public History Conference in Troy\, NY (2016)\, the MDOCS Portrait and Biography Series and the Harry Burleigh Commemoration Event (2016)\, both at Skidmore College Saratoga Springs\, NY.

SUMMARY:Ceramics by Regis Brodie and Paintings by Leslie Yolen
DESCRIPTION:January 13 – February 15\, 2018  \nArtists Reception: Saturday\, February 3rd\, 4 – 6 pm. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nRegis Brodie \n   \nLeslie Yolen \n \nRegis Brodie works in porcelain and stoneware. His colorful\, surface-layered ceramics are the culmination of his training as a painter and sculptor. Both painting and sculpture are parallel and overlapping experiences in his works. He says “My methodology of making art is exploratory in nature. It deals with the direct manipulation of materials and processes. My vessel or sculptural forms are elegant and classical. The surface painting\, drawing\, and textural treatment on the other hand\, is out of the Abstract Expressionist and Post-Modernist Schools. I love the interplay that is created between the refinements of the form and the spontaneously decorated surface. It contrasts the elegant with the organic. I am tight and at the same time loose… I do not establish a hierarchy or dominance of the form (mass) verses the surface (decoration). As I consider the form\, the surface reveals itself as it becomes intrinsic and essential to the whole.” \nRegis Brodie is an Emeritus Professor of Art at Skidmore College. He earned his B.S. and Masters in Art Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and his M.F.A. from the Tyler School of Art of Temple University\, Philadelphia\, PA. Regis taught for 41 years in the Studio Art department at Skidmore College until his retirement in 2011. In addition to his regular teaching duties he directed Skidmore’s prestigious “Summer SIX Art Program” for 35 years\, as well taught in the Summer SIX Art Program for 39 of those years. His work was recently shown at Laffer Gallery and the Saratoga Clay Studio\, both in Schuylerville\, NY. Regis continues his ongoing body of work with lectures and exhibits worldwide. \nLeslie Yolen has worked predominantly in clay until recently\, when encaustics became her favored medium. She finds her process of encaustic painting\, (beeswax and tree resin mixed with pigments) similar to the additive and subtractive processes of working with clay. Her paintings on wood panels are created using brushes\, torches\, knives\, and scraping tools. Her series of work for this exhibit is titled “Treescapes”. She says “These paintings were inspired by my lifelong fascination with trees and the way they frame our world in different light and through different seasons. The genesis for these paintings was the clearing of brush at the edge of the woods around my home\, opening new and inviting views into and through the woods.” \nLeslie Yolen earned her B.F.A. from Bennington College and an M.S. in Visual Arts Education from the College of Saint Rose. She is the Arts Education Associate for the New York State Education Department’s Office of Curriculum & Instruction\, where she provides statewide leadership in relation to the implementation of the NYS Learning Standards for the Arts\, supporting arts teachers\, administrators and students across the state. Prior to working with NYSED\, Leslie taught Visual Art in the public schools\, focusing on curriculum development\, instructional planning\, and professional development for arts teachers. Her recent exhibitions include a solo show at Carey Institute for Global Good in Rensselaerville\, NY\, and “Great Places and Spaces”\, Albany Center Gallery’s satellite exhibit at the New York State Museum\, Albany NY. She lives and works in rural Albany County\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Adirondack Studios\, Mirror Lake Inn\, Lake Placid\, The Community Exchange Foundation\, and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

DESCRIPTION:November 11 – December 15\, 2017 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 11\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n  \nSarah Nicole Phillips is a Toronto-born\, Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist. Her recent work is a series of collages created with hundreds of recycled\, patterned security envelopes. She says: “I began playing with security envelopes when I had an office job. I would tear open the mail every day and started noticing the intricate patterns printed on their insides. Security envelopes are used to camouflage sensitive and private documents. Their decorative patterns make it impossible to read what is inside. For this body of work\, the imagery is inspired by naturally occurring camouflage. That’s what the printed pattern is for\, to hide documents\, and it made sense to echo the botany and camouflage idea in the work… some scenes are benign\, such as a square of monotonous grass\, suggestive of a wider expanse of more of the same. Recent collages include office and lobby imagery such as cubicles\, elevators and artificial floral arrangements. These collages represent a fantasy in which the material of the reliable\, boring disappointments of life\, are transformed into a means of escape.” \nSarah Nicole Phillips earned her B.A. in Visual Studies from the University of Toronto in 2003\, and her MFA from Brooklyn College in 2006\, with a concentration in printmaking. From 2006-07 she participated in a year-long artist residency at the Lower Eastside Print Shop where taught monotype. Sarah exhibits widely in Canada and the US and has recently been included in shows at the Queens Museum of Art\, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and The McKinley Arts & Culture Center in Reno\, NV. In 2009 and 2014 she was a recipient of Brooklyn Arts Council Grants. Her other awards include residency fellowships from The Kimmel Harding Nelson Center\, Nebraska City\, NE\, and Blue Mountain Center\, Blue Mountain Lake\, NY. Her work is in the permanent collection of NYU Langone Hospital.

The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment.

SUMMARY:Electron │ Photon
DESCRIPTION:September 23 – October 27\, 2017  \n3 Photographers’ Unique Approach to Image-Making – Dee Breger\, Suran Song and Eleanor Sweeney \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 23\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nRead: Albany Times Union Review Here \nDee Breger \nEleanor Sweeney \nSuran Song \nDee Breger’s images stand at the intersection of art\, science\, education and technology. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) she worked with could magnify a specimen over 300\,000 times. The structures seen in her images are preserved\, while their aesthetic presentation is manipulated through an array of graphics techniques.  She says: “In using a research laboratory’s high-tech visualizing instrument to produce revelatory – and relevant – art\, my goal is to offer arresting pictures of the microworld that inspire a sense of wonder at its elegance\, astonishment at its diversity\, and delight in the stories it has to tell. As a scientist grounded in the disciplines of research\, I seek to maintain the integrity – the truth – of the specimens. As an artist\, I want my images to speak to the viewer’s heart.” \nDee Breger received a degree in Art from the University of Wisconsin and began her career as a scientific illustrator at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, switching to electron microscopy soon after. She founded Lamont/Columbia’s first professional SEM and X-ray microanalysis facility\, which she directed for 22 years. Her work has been exhibited around the world and was featured in the BBC documentary “Hidden Visions.”  Her book “Journeys into Microspace: The Art of the Scanning Electron Microscope” was featured in the New York Times magazine. Besides specializing in the technology\, scientific application\, and artistry of the SEM\, Breger also led or participated in several Earth science programs on over 30 field expeditions\, with a specialization in Antarctic oceanography. From 2004 to 2009 she served as Director of Microscopy at Drexel University. She retired from academia in 2009 to return to her first love: art. She launched Micrographic Arts that year in Saratoga Springs\, NY\, where she lived until her death\, working as a consultant and artist. Dee Breger passed away in September of 2016 after a battle with leukemia. More information about Dee Breger can be found at www.micrographicarts.com\,and her TED Ed talk\, “Visualizing Hidden Worlds Inside Your Body\,” can be seen at https://ed.ted.com/lessons/visualizing-hidden-worlds-inside-your-body-dee-breger. \nSanskrit and the civics of politics\, as well as a routine practice of Yoga\, are both strong influences for Suran Song. Her work encompasses printmaking\, painting\, installation\, sculpture\, photography\, video and performance art. A recent project “There’s More to Life Than Increasing Its Speed! We need each other here!” contains a series of limited edition c-prints depicting flower mandalas projected on to the hands of participants held in various mudras (symbolic hand gestures)\, while practicing yogic breathing. The work is inspired by her routine practice of Yoga and the Sanskrit Pushpam Veda mantra\, a Vedic hymn that expresses water as the basis of the universe and is used at the time of offering flowers to the deities at the very end of the Pujas (a prayer ritual performed to honor one or more deities). Song conceived of the project as a means for participants to practice fasting from cell phones and other screens by  returning to their breath and presence\, and to experience colors often used in yogic therapy to transmit uplifting and healing vibrations.  She says: “I am interested in engaging with the public by making experiential art that transcends the viewer. Working in a multitude of disciplines further allows me to continually test the boundaries of the senses\, the embrace of Sanskrit and the breath\, all core elements that inform my artistic path.” \nSuran Song earned her BFA from University of The Arts in Philadelphia\, PA and her MFA from Parsons School of Design\, New York\, NY. She has received awards and residencies from the Queens Council for the Arts and the New York Artist and Community Council: The Laundromat Project.  Her work has been exhibited at numerous venues\, including The Villa Terrace Museum of Decorative Arts\, Milwaukee\, WI; Chashama Windows Project\, Harlem\, NY; Art in Odd Places\, New York\, NY; The Walk Exchange\, London\, England & New York\, NY; Southview Co-operative\, Queens\, NY; Shirin Gallery\, Chelsea\, NY\, NY; Queens Museum\, Queens\, NY. Center for Documentary Studies\, Duke University\, Durham\, NC; The Experimental Space\, Long Island City\, NY; and Fabio Scalia Art Space\, Brooklyn\, NY.  In addition to being a multi-media artist and performer\, she is a student of Sanskrit\, and a yoga instructor with an International Teacher’s Certification in Himalayan Yoga. She lives and works in Jackson Heights\, Queens\, NY. More information about Suran Song and her work can be found at www.suransong.com  and also at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn2P7snwycY\, where she is a featured artist in a brief video describing her work. \nPhotographer Eleanor Sweeney makes digital transfers on metal\, paper\, wood and fabric\, as well as traditional photographic prints. Her eye is often drawn to small\, ordinary things\, which she likes to manipulate a bit. She says: “I have been making photographs for a long time\, starting out with classic black and white images.  Gradually I became interested in color\, doing a little hand coloring and working with colored slides.  For many years\, I made Polaroid transfers\, and later began to teach myself to make transfers using digital photographs. This way I can play around with color and shape in the computer.  All the photographs in this show are reflections in silver Mylar. I place a sheet of Plexiglas covered by a piece of Mylar against a tree or wall or something\, set up the tripod to the side\, and photograph what is reflected. The Mylar is not very tight\, so it ripples in the slightest breeze\, creating the wavy abstract result in the photograph. Some of the photographs are printed on paper\, while others are transferred onto metal or wood.” \nEleanor Sweeney\, born in Cincinnati\, Ohio 1937\, earned a BA in Russian from Middlebury College in 1959. She studied photography at North Country Community College from 1974-1976\, and took various photography workshops around the country. In 1997 she co-founded Adirondack Artists Guild in Saranac Lake\, NY.  Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the Northeast\, and featured in solo exhibitions at Adirondack Artists Guild and Pendragon Theatre\, both in Saranac Lake; St Louis Artists Guild; Visitor Interpretive Centers in Paul Smiths and Newcomb\, NY; Geonomics Center at Middlebury College\, VT; and For ArtSake in Malone\, NY.  Recent group exhibitions include “Catching Water\,” Bluseed Studios\, Saranac Lake and “Imagined Landscapes\,” Lake Placid Center for the Arts. She is the recipient of three NY decentralization grants\, and was awarded Best In Show at Frederic Remington “Members’ Show” (2017) and First Place in Photography in “Central Adk Art Show” at View Old Forge\, NY (2017). She lives and work in Saranac Lake\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Community Exchange Foundation\, Adirondack Studios and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment.

SUMMARY:Story Time: Children and Young Adult Authors and Illustrators
DESCRIPTION:Featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock\, Marika McCoola\, and Jennifer Sattler \n \nOpening July 7 and running through August 11\, 2017\, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery will present “Story Time: Children and Young Adult Authors and Illustrators”\, a 3 person exhibition featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock\, Marika McCoola\, and Jennifer Sattler. The opening reception takes place on Friday\, July 7\, from 6 – 8 PM. We will also present a panel discussion with the artists on Tuesday\, August 1st at 6 pm at Northshire Bookstore\, 424 Broadway in Saratoga Springs\, NY. Our exhibiting artists will discuss their creative process and relationship between visual illustration and storytelling. All events are free and open to the public. \nBruce Hiscock is the author/illustrator of many natural history books for children. His stories\, like “The Big Rock” and “The Big Tree\,” are based on actual objects\, near his home\, and contain enough information to enlighten grade school kids as well as most adults. These books\, among others\, have been designated as Outstanding Science Trade Books by the Children’s Book Council. “The Big Rock” and “The Big Storm” were honored on the John Burrough’s Riveby Award List of Books for Young Readers. Well versed in many aspects of science\, Bruce studied chemistry in college and graduated from the University of Michigan\, B.S. 1962 and Cornell University\, Ph.D.\, 1966. At age 40 he decided to combine his artistic talents with science and begin a career in children’s books. His journeys across the North American Arctic from Alaska to Labrador form the basis of several works\, including “Tundra\,” “The Big Caribou Herd\,” and most recently\, “Ookpik- the Travels of a Snowy Owl\,” a finalist for the Charlotte Award of New York State.  Bruce lives in Porter Corners\, NY\, in a house he built by hand using the native rocks and trees. He often gives programs in schools and libraries\, teaching kids to draw and encouraging them to read and write stories for themselves. You can learn more about his work at brucehiscock.com. \nMarika McCoola is an illustrator\, educator\, and the New York Times bestselling author of “Baba Yaga’s Assistant.” She studied illustration\, art history\, creative writing\, and ceramics at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore\, Maryland and received her BFA in Illustration in 2009. Marika then went on to study creative writing and children’s literature at Simmons College\, receiving an MFA in Writing for Children in 2012.  In addition to writing and illustrating\, Marika teaches Studio Art\, Illustration\, and Children’s Literature online for the State University of New York\, Empire State College\, works as an indie bookseller\, and teaches classes through the Emerson Umbrella Arts Center in Concord\, MA. She’s also taught Children’s Literature for the K-6 Classroom for Skidmore College’s Education department. Her awards include a 2016 Ivan Gold Fiction Fellowship from Writers’ Room of Boston; 2015 Finalist for JP Reads Flash Fiction Contest; Rusty Drugan Scholarship from New England Independent Booksellers’ Association\, 2012\, and CHIRP Scholarship for Winter Institute 7 from Candlewick Press\, 2012. Marika grew up in Glens Falls\, and currently resides in Somerville\, MA. You can learn more about her and her work at marikamccoola.com. \nJennifer Sattler is the award winning author and illustrator of several children’s books\, including “Sylvie\,” which won the Mockingbird Award and the Georgia Children’s Book Award\, “Uh O DoDo\,” and her newest book “Frankie The Blankie.” She is also the author of the popular “Chick-N-Pug” and “Pig Kahuna” series. Jennifer earned her BFA in painting from the University of New Hampshire and MFA from Indiana University\, Bloomington. In 1996\, she won a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Although she has worked as a landscape painter and professor of painting and drawing\, her real passion is creating books for children. After her first daughter Mayzie was born\, she found it harder and harder to get out to the painting studio. “I couldn’t wait to read to Mayzie. She slept most of the time\, but I kept reading\, silly voices and all! The magic of picture books excited me so much more than making pictures to hang on the wall.” Jennifer began drawing elephants\, Mayzie’s favorite animals at the time. A year later her first book was published\, “Bella’s Saratoga Summer\,” starring Bella the Elephant (named after their 100 lb. dog). The following year her second book was published. “All Aboard Owney! The Adirondack Mail Dog” was based on the true story of a scruffy dog that rode the rails in the early 1900’s. She says: “I’ve been asked why I only use animals as my characters in my books.  It’s simple\, really. I want children to identify with the personalities of my characters\, their situations\, worries and joys… When the characters are animals\, it’s much more universally relatable.” Jennifer lives and works in Saratoga Springs.  You can learn more about her and her work at jennifersattlerbooks.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs\, Adirondack Studios\, Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

Her recent work is inspired by time spent outside in the natural world\, as well as the plants residing in her house\, observing changes that come through the course of a day\, as well as through the seasons. She says: “Each artwork draws inspiration from my passion for the beauty of the outdoors and plants. The selected color palette is informed by different times of the day and the lighting effect that impacts our apprehension of color. I avidly spend time outdoors watching the world slowly change around me. The plants drawn from my own household evolve too\, throughout the year\, and they have served as additional inspiration.

SUMMARY:Linear Landscapes: Solo exhibition of work by Rachel Kohn
DESCRIPTION:May 6 – June 9\, 2017  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 6\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n  \nRachel Kohn’s imagery comes from real and imagined landscapes inspired by cycles of growth and decay.  She will exhibit a series of miniature three-dimensional paintings that are carved and built up from layers of plaster\, foam\, and aquaresin. A final layer of either encaustic wax or acrylic medium is added to create a deep and luminous surface. Kohn will also exhibit a series of drawings on handmade paper. In addition to making the paper herself\, she uses a variety of drawing media\, including charcoal\, graphite\, watercolor\, paper mache\, and acrylic. By deconstructing and reconstructing paper pulp\, rough and torn areas create images that appear to be fragile and deteriorating landscapes. She says: “My work has a focus on nature\, and is also inspired by human fragility. I am influenced by cycles of deterioration\, devastation\, and renewal. These perpetual cycles are a natural process\, and in my work I attempt to find beauty in these sometimes harrowing experiences.  I look for balance from the unbalanced\, control from chaos\, and light from darkness.” \n Rachel Kohn earned her Bachelor of Arts from Skidmore College\, and Her Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College in NYC.

SUMMARY:Still\, a solo exhibition of work by Sarah Sweeney
DESCRIPTION:January 28 – March 3\, 2017 \nCurated by Rachel Seligman\, Assistant Director for Curatorial Affairs\, Tang Teaching Museum\, Skidmore College. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, January 28\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n  \nIn her work\, Sarah Sweeney explores the space between information that is stored in our memory and the information that is captured by documentary technologies\, such as cameras\, phones\, stereoscopic images and home videos. She explains: “When a photograph is taken\, or a voice is recorded\, or a video is captured\, there is a duplication that occurs. One is a memory stored internally by the body to be reconstituted later\, while the other takes a physical form and enters into the archive of memory objects. It is the relationship between the two forms – one living and malleable\, the other rigid and enduring – that my work takes as its subject.” \nStill\, Sarah Sweeney’s recent series of work\, comprises large scale archival pigment prints and animations created from video footage and photographs captured at different sites in Iceland. Each work is constructed from dozens of images of the landscape combined with images of tourists taken at the same location. Sweeney digitally repositions bodies like theatrical props or mannequins among the the waterfalls\, glaciers\, and lava fields.  Sweeney says: “Iceland’s tourism board describes their natural landscapes as a contrast between majestic mountains\, picturesque lagoons\, catastrophic glaciers\, and raging torrential rivers. Close to a million tourists overrun Iceland every year hoping to capture and bring home these landscapes in the form of photographs. In the photographic series Still I explore the paradox that arises when hundreds of tourist bodies armed with cameras around their necks invade these remote landscapes hoping to capture a sense of wilderness\, isolation\, and untouched space.”\n\nSarah Sweeney earned her BA in Studio Art from Williams College and  MFA in Digital Media from Columbia University School of the Arts. Her work has appeared nationally and internationally in exhibitions at locations including the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art\, the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art\, the New Jersey State Museum\, the Black and White Gallery\, and the UCR/California Photography Museum. Her work was recently featured at Laughter and Forgetting\, Bucharest Art Week\, Bucharest\, Romania; Screening Scholarship Media Festival Exhibition\, Annenberg School Of Communication\, University Of Pennsylvania; and Slingshot Festival of Music\, Electronic Art\, Tech\, Film & Comedy\, Athens\, Georgia. Other recent exhibitions include Re-Picturing Photography\, Union Street Gallery\, Chicago Heights\, Illinois;This into That: Found Object Art\, Assemblage\, and Other Transformed Work\, Nave Gallery Annex\, Somerville\, Massachusetts; The Dam Show\, Reservoir Art Space\, Ridgewood\, New York; Selected Art Faculty Exhibition\, Schick Art Gallery\, Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, New York; public media\, private media\, curated by Nick Montfort\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Boston\, Massachusetts.  She is currently Associate Professor of Digital Media and Interactive Design in the Art Department at Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, NY.\nYou can learn more about her at sarahelizabethsweeney.com. \nSarah Sweeney in Conversation with curator Rachel Seligman: \nRS: Could you start by sharing a little about your background as an artist? \nSS: I grew up with photography because my grandfather was a serious collector. I was a photographer in high school and I wanted to be one in college. My junior year I went to the Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. There I studied digital photography for the first time and I was introduced to the computer. That was first time I had any type of experience with a computer and I made a piece that was really important to me. My father died when I was 17\, right before I went to college. I loved photographs but I felt that in the time after he died photographs let me down. They had been promised to be memories\, and I was terribly disappointed because I used the same photographs over and over and they stopped bringing back my father. And I just felt very much like it was photography’s fault that I was losing my memories. With the computer\, I could do things that reflected the way I was thinking about memories\, so my first real piece was called My Father Died Four Years Ago and it involved removing him from all the photographs I had of him. And one of the ideas was that you could see the hole that he left\, which was a much more present reality than actually seeing his body\, which was no longer here. So it was a way to alter the photographs to reflect the present reality\, as opposed to something that was in the past. \nSince that time\, all of my work has been about exploring photography without taking photographs. Instead\, I work mainly with found photographs\, slides I buy from eBay\, things like that. I hadn’t taken photographs in 10 years before the Still series\, and I haven’t taken them in any of my projects since. \nRS: What do you think about the relationship between the photograph as a perceived document – we like to think they are snapshots of reality – and the fact that your work involves altering or fabricating the photograph? \nSS: My work relies upon that perception – of photography as reality – because it allows for a sense of wonder when seeing my work. But I believe that all photography is completely constructed. While we consider photographs to be really near and dear (they’re the first thing you grab in a fire\, right?) I actually think that photographs are really problematic. I think that they’re false and artificial in ways that we don’t readily perceive. And I think that’s one of the reasons all my work is in photography\, and is why I alter them\, because I think that when we see photographs\, we don’t think about all the ways that they don’t actually equate to reality or memory… \nRS: And do you feel like your personal experience of loss was the moment that you had that realization? \nSS: Yes. I think because I love photography so much\, and felt so betrayed. \nRS:  I’m interested that you had such a powerful and emotional feeling of betrayal\, but that instead of completely rejecting photography and going in another direction\, you ended up diving in deeply\, creating your own path into photography. \nSS: Every one of my works questions a different aspect of photography and our relationship to it. Not to suggest that people shouldn’t love photography\, because I think photography is incredible. But to see how strange and awkward photography is\, instead of just familiar\, and warm\, and cuddly\, and all those things people generally feel about it. \nRS: Tell me about the current series: how did you come to make this work\, which is different from all your previous work in that you’ve actually taken these photographs yourself? \nSS: People are not still in reality.  We don’t see that. We don’t know what that looks like. But in photographs\, we totally accept that moment. Stillness is weird and strange\, but to make people see that\, I rotate people 90°\, because then the awkwardness seems more obvious. Also\, when you’re vertical you don’t notice how rigid our bodies are\, but when you turn them\, they’re so rigid\, almost like rigor mortis. And there are all these postures and gestures that we’re not even conscious of\, because they’re so familiar. So by turning people on their side it becomes unfamiliar\, and we start thinking a little bit more about what it is to be still. The other thing that really got me excited was taxidermy\, and thinking about photography as visual taxidermy. Because taxidermy has all the same things as rigor mortis\, it’s unnatural\, but very lifelike. \nThe related artifice with photography is this sense… (and that goes back to my dad) …that it can bring someone back. I think our culture is very obsessed with this. \nRS: Did you go to Iceland with this particular project in mind? \nSS: I did. I’d been working with old slides for a long time and I decided I wanted to work with contemporary  images. For this project I started looking at Flickr\, but none of the photographs were a big enough size for me to use. I decided Iceland was the best place to go to make my own images because I was looking at a lot of Caspar David Friedrich\, and thinking about the Rückenfigur [a figure placed in a landscape painting\, seen from behind\, contemplating the view]. I knew that Iceland looked a lot like some Caspar David Friedrich paintings. And one of the best things about Iceland is that it’s so compact\, with many different kinds of landscape. I had a map that I had planned out with 28 sites that I would visit in 14 days. I would visit a site\, and just sit there and wait for tourists to come. And it was a very odd experience of feeling like I was hunting tourists\, because I’d get very excited when they would show up en-masse\, armed with cameras around their necks\, swarming into these remote landscapes. And then I would “shoot” them. I also took a lot of photographs of the backgrounds\, so I could put them together piece by piece\, because I wanted some of the work to be really big. \nRS: I want to talk a little bit about the role of humor in this work. \nSS: My work is not usually funny; I don’t intend it to be funny. \nRS: Why do you think that people think this work is funny? \nSS: I think maybe because it’s kind of uncomfortable. If you’ve ever been to a place and been one of these people\, I’m somewhat poking fun at you. If you’ve ever been a tourist\, you’re somewhat implicated through these people. I also think there is irony in the images: that masses of tourists descend on these sites to capture a sense of wilderness\, isolation\, and untouched space. \nRS: It seems to me that this is a critique of how we flock to places that have been designated as being special\, and we try to capture them in some way\, to own them\, to possess them. \nSS: Yes\, and I don’t understand that. I guess that’s one of the weird parts for me about this series\, is that I don’t usually do this. If I go to a foreign country\, I don’t take images. I don’t take pictures of my children (my husband does). I don’t take pictures of myself\, I don’t take pictures pretty much at all. So this is very foreign to me. \nAnd there’s this sense that because we’re taking all these photographs with cameras that we’re not taking anything away from a place. \nRS: What do you think about that? \nSS: I do think that we are taking something away from a place. I do. And I think it’s strange that on a given day in Iceland\, hundreds of people have the same exact photograph. It seems incredibly wasteful. It’s digital so nobody thinks it’s wasteful. And so part of this trip was a lot about me coming to terms with\, “Is it Okay? Is it not Okay? What does it mean when all these people travel through this place? What does it mean when you take something? What does it mean to own a digital piece of a place?” And so I guess one of the things that occurred to me about this is that I really think photographs are not necessarily just for memory. I think they’re a lot about communicating what it is we’re doing at a given time. I guess I’m interrogating the act and the culture of it. \n RS: So you think – because you started to allude to this – that it’s about both the moment of taking it\, but also the moment of sharing it with others? Maybe even more about the sharing? \nSS: Yes\, I think a lot of it is sharing. And I think the sharing is\, on one level\, tied to capitalism and colonialism. “I went to this place. You should see it… These are the most amazing things…” People who have enough money go to a country that’s not theirs\, take photographs (among other things) from that country\, and bring them back as a way to show off their wealth and power. \nRS: Photography as a mode of conquest… \nSS: It is a mode of conquest and that’s the part that is very intriguing to me. I’ve read a lot on tourism and conquest. To be in someone else’s country to “experience” it… I’m interested in what that means\, and how the camera becomes a tool in service to the impulse for control and possession. \nBut I also don’t take photographs of my life now because I find it to be a really strange practice. You have this very odd moment where everyone is stopping\, becoming still\, to take the photograph. At least for me\, that’s very odd. But I love photographs. That’s the paradox for me\, because I love photography. And in my work\, I’m trying to bring to the surface some of the paradoxes that exist for me in photography. We hold photography very close but I feel it needs to be more closely examined. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Community Exchange Foundation\, Adirondack Studios and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:"A Certain Romance": Paintings by Fabian Lopez
DESCRIPTION:November 12 – December 16\, 2016  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 12\, 4 – 6- pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n   \nFabian Lopez’s paintings overlap representation with abstraction\, weaving together stories he has either heard or read with his own personal experience. There are elements in his paintings that refer to various places he has lived: Los Angeles\, Santa Barbara\, Rome\, Philadelphia\, as well as narratives of family history\, epic period movies\, comic books\, music and western history\, literature and imagery. He says: “My paintings function in this regard\, at the intersection of fabricated narratives based on physical experiences within a place.”  Born and raised in Los Angeles\, CA\, he was the eighth child out of twelve.  Lopez says\, as a kid\, “The house was never empty and always crowded to maximum capacity leaving no room for privacy. Drawing became a necessity and an entrance point into a world of imagination and exploration. Further\, with Spanish being the primary language at home and the influences of both my parents that came from Mexico and my older siblings\, who embraced popular American culture in their love of music\, this provided me with a rich bilingual and bi culture framework.” \nFabian Lopez earned his Bachelor in Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from California State University\, Long Beach\, CA\, and his Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Tyler School of Art\, Temple University\, Philadelphia\, PA.  His paintings were recently featured in solo exhibitions at Temple Gallery\, Rome; PØST\, Los Angeles\, CA; and Artspace Liberti\, Philadelphia\, PA\, and group exhibitions at Icebox Projects\, Philadelphia\, PA; Schick Gallery\, Saratoga Springs\, NY; Bridgette Mayer Gallery\, Philadelphia\, PA; Gallery 102\, Philadelphia\, PA; I-5 Gallery\, Los Angeles\, CA; University Art Museum – CSU Long Beach\, CA; Project Space\, Los Angeles\, CA.  His work has twice been included in the publication New American Paintings\, 2015 and 2013. He is currently Assistant Professor in Painting in the Art Department at Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, NY. You can learn more about him at http://www.fabianlopez.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z.

SUMMARY:Oatman & Father\, Signmakers:  Gordon and Michael Oatman
DESCRIPTION:September 24 – October 28\, 2016  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 24th\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n“The Convenience Effect”historic book cuttings on map on boardwith custom frame by the artist’s father\, Gordon Oatman \nMichael Oatman calls his practice ‘the poetic interpretation of documents’. His collages and installations integrate thousands of found\, modified and handmade components\, including artifacts of material culture\, painting\, drawing\, video\, and food.  With a focus on animals\, this exhibition will feature Michael’s working drawings and other studies for his large scale collages\, as well as the collages themselves\, presented within frames created by his father\, Gordon.  Gordon Oatman will exhibit a selection of his frames (unfilled) and his studies and drawings for those frames. The frames are a geometric abstraction of animal forms (thunderbird\, butterfly\, bat\, fish)\, with some up to 8 feet in length. Michael says “there is a connection between the two bodies of work – in my mind this relates to the early lessons I received from my Dad about nature via hunting\, fishing and general fascination with the animals around us growing up in rural Vermont.” \nGordon Oatman was trained at Keene State Teachers’ College and taught Industrial Arts in the South Burlington\, Vermont School System for over 30 years. His many subjects included woodworking\, metal fabrication\, photography and printing in three areas: offset\, silkscreen and hand set type. He earned a Master’s Degree at RIT and the University of Vermont\, finishing his career teaching architectural drafting and the newly invented CADD. A lifelong outdoorsman\, he custom manufactured steam-bent fishing nets for the Orvis Corporation in the 1970s. He later produced hand carved dealership signs for the H. L. Leonard Rod Company\, a rival fishing goods firm. For over 30 years Oatman and his wife\, Shirley Oatman (a retired home economics teacher and cooking school owner) have produced material works for the many art projects of their son\, Michael. At 79\, this is his first art exhibition. \nMichael Oatman earned his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design\, and his MFA from the University at Albany.  He has exhibited extensively in galleries\, museums and public spaces throughout the US and abroad. Recent projects include All Utopias Fell\, a permanent commission for MASS MoCA\, open until October 2020; the 52-artist extravaganza “An Armory Show” for the Opalka Gallery at Sage College\, Albany; and “ABECEDARIUS” with Colin Boyd at the Arts Center of The Capital Region in Troy. He is represented by MillerYezerski in Boston\, MA; Lenore Grey in Providence\, RI; Mayson Gallery in NYC and Stremmel Gallery in Reno\, NV. His accolades include the Nancy Graves Foundation Award for work in new media; the Brown Fellows Award from the School of Architecture at RPI; Purchase Awards from the University Art Museum at U-Albany and the Albany Institute of History and Art\, as well as grants from the New York State Council on the Arts. In 2009 he was voted Best Artist of the past 30 Years in the Capital Region by editors of the Metroland newspaper. He has taught at Harvard\, UVM\, University of Albany\, St. Michael’s College and Vermont College.  He has been a visiting critic at RISD from 1986 to the present.  Since 1999 he has been a faculty member in the School of Architecture at RPI. He is the juror for the 2016 Mohawk Hudson Regional and is currently working on a solo project for the Bell Gallery at Brown University. \nExhibition Review online: Albany Times Union

SUMMARY:Corwin Levi and Barbara Price
DESCRIPTION:July 9 – August 12\, 2016  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, July 9\, 4 – 6- pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nBarbara Price \n   \n Corwin Levi \n  \nCorwin Levi is project-based artist using a variety of media including painting\, drawing\, children’s books\, sculpture\, and video.  He finds inspiration in the “ordinary” moments and exchanges  of life\, from waking up each day\, to conversations with other people.  He says: “Because my art is rooted in experiencing life\, my interactions often find their way into what I create. Whether it’s collaborating with other artists\, working a dinner conversation into a painting\, drawing a Fukurokuju mask onto a character\, or borrowing a thought from Camus\, it all works its way into the making.” \nCorwin Levi earned his BA from Rice University and MFA from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.  After art school he went on to law school at the University of Virginia.  After practicing law for several years in 2009 he decided to return to creating art full time.  He says “I think practicing law was a way for me to see another world\, or another side of the world and it made me both appreciate and understand art making so much more.”  Levi has shown across the country in solo shows at Blackfish Gallery in Portland\, OR\, James Madison University in Harrisonburg\, VA\, and Hillyer Art Space and Fridge Gallery\, both in Washington\, DC. He has been awarded a number of residency fellowships at prestigious institutions such as Pyramid Atlantic\, MD; the Millay Colony\, NY; Willapa Bay\, WA; Ucross Foundation\, WY; and a yearlong residency at the Roswell Artist in Residence Program\, NM. You can learn more about his work at www.radiosebastian.com\, and view his video work on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/corwinlevi. \nTo explore notions of “seeing” and “not seeing” equally\, Barbara Price has created a series of work resembling palimpsests\, documents where the original writing is obscured\, yet traces of the original show through.  Instead of scrapping or rubbing\, the characters from the original are covered through stitched thread or yarn.  She says “Looking at something very closely is both a necessity and the result of my process that includes piercing\, punching\, threading\, knotting and weaving through paper. Looking so closely that the thing itself disappears metaphorically and on a certain level\, quite literally.” \nBarbara Price has exhibited her visual art work in solo exhibitions at North Main Gallery in Salem\, NY\, and the Small Gallery in Cambridge\, NY.  Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Spring Street Gallery in Saratoga Springs\, NY and The Chapel and Cultural Center at RPI\, Troy\, NY.  In addition to making art she has worn many hats: she has served as a book editor\, a curator\, a hospitality manager for concert venues in New York City\, a professional caterer\, a baker\, a waitress\, a party planner\, an artist manager\, a booking agent\, and a gardener. She is a founder of Battenkill Time Traders\, a community based time bank\, and writes articles on cooking\, foraging\, healthy eating and buying local.  She lives and works in Greenwich\, NY\, and currently divides her time unevenly between being a visual artist and writer\, a community activist\, as well as a freelance book editor. You can see some images of her work at https://birdlit.wordpress.com/. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Lake George Kayak Company and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:New Work from Antarctica - Vincent Woolley
DESCRIPTION:June 16 – 18\, 2016  \nArtist’s Reception: Saturday\, June 18\, 4 – 6 PM \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: June 16th and 17th: 12 – 5 PM\, and Saturday\, June 18th\, during the artist’s reception: 4 – 6 PM \n  \nLandscape Photographer Vincent Woolley was the 2015 recipient of the Antarctica XXI Grant from the Luminous Endowment. The Endowment awards grants to assist photographers in pursuing special projects related to their photography. Through this grant Woolley was able to travel to Antarctica in the fall of 2015. He will exhibit a portfolio of recent work resulting from this trip. \nVincent Woolley says that photographing during the trip was challenging\, since most of the time he was shooting from a moving ship or Zodiac craft. Using a tripod was impossible unless he was on shore. Although he spent months preparing and researching for his expedition to Antarctica\, he says: “nothing really prepared me for the experience and landscapes I was about to see.  The days were very long\, which allowed for more pictures. The light was gorgeous and the colors in the ice were unlike anything I have ever seen.  Words cannot describe the beauty and solitude of Antarctica.  I hope in some way the pictures I brought back will.  I know this place will live in my mind and in my memories forever.” \nOver his forty years as a photographer Woolley’s work has become more abstract. His recent subjects include ice\, water\, reflections\, and river foam. During much of his career he worked with a 4 x 5 view camera\, but now shoots digitally. You can learn more about his photographs by visitinghttp://www.vincewoolleyphotography.com/ and the Luminous Landscapes Website.  He lives in Hudson Falls with his wife\, two dogs and cat. \nThe Courthouse Gallery hours during this special exhibition are June 16th – 17th from 12 – 5 PM and on Saturday\, June 18th we are open during the artist’s reception from 4 – 6 PM\, and also other times available by appointment (please call ahead: 518-668-2616). The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:Laura Gurton
DESCRIPTION:May 7 – June 10\, 2016  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 7\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n   \nLaura Gurton’s paintings evolve from a refined process that balances chance and control.  The artist’s method\, refined over many years\, makes use of both oil paint and resin.  Because the interactions of these two media are complex and sometimes difficult to predict\, Gurton’s way of working requires a deft touch and an acute sense of timing. The resulting images are composed of multiple layers of translucent glazes\, imparting levels of depth and revealing patterns analogous to microscopic cellular forms.  With the addition of each layer\, these forms begin to overlap\, evoking a passage of time.  Biomorphic shapes reminiscent of visual information gleaned from x-rays\, CT scans\, and electron microscopes float across the surface of the artist’s canvases.  Gurton states that her work reflects her admiration for all scientific investigations. \nLaura Gurton studied art at the Philadelphia College of Art\, Philadelphia\, PA\, the Brooklyn Museum School\, Brooklyn\, NY\, and earned her Bachelor of of Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts\, NYC\, NY\, and her Masters in Supervision and Administration in the Arts from Bank Street College of Education at Parsons School of Design.  Her paintings were recently featured in solo exhibitions at Theo Ganz Studio\, Beacon\, NY; Beacon Short Wave Gallery\, Stone Harbor\, NJ; Bau Gallery\, Beacon\, NY; Van Brunt Projects\, Hudson Beach Gallery\,Beacon\, NY; Woodstock Artists Association and Museum; and  Kingston Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kingston\, NY. Her work was recently included in group exhibitions at the Kleinert James Center for the Arts\, Byrcliffe\, Woodstock\, NY; Denise Bibro Fine Art\, NYC; 13 Forest Gallery\, Small Works\, Arlington\, MA; Fresh Paint Gallery\, Culver City\, CA; B.B.Contemporary Art – Project Art Space\, NYC; Edward Hopper House\, Nyack\, NY; and the 55th VENICE BIENNALE: Personal Structures\, Time Space Existence –  Palazzo Bembo\, Venice\, Italy in 2013.  She is currently lives and works in Woodstock\, NY. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation\, the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust\, Lake George Kayak Company and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment.

SUMMARY:Formation Proposal - A solo exhibition of work by Susan Meyer
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, March 12\, 4 – 6- pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n   \nSusan Meyer’s glowing and colorful futuristic sculptures and installations reference architecture\, landscape and the figure. Utopian communities and Modernist architecture are amoung her influences. The works are composed of acrylic and wood shapes that make reference to futuristic architectural models\, stalactites\, crystal formations and Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes. She says: “My works are mash-ups of architecture and landscape. The sculptural elements combine to create fantastical\, sci-fi environments. Suggesting architectural concoctions – part topogrophy\, part commune\, part disaster waiting to happen – the components create a dialogue between a glistening model environment and discordant details\, suggesting a tension between the communal and the individual. The pieces explore landscape and architecture as embodiments of and catalysts for our desires and aspirations… I use several processes for making the work. For some pieces I stack and sculpt\, responding to the form as I build it. For others\, I find small rocks that are interesting\, digitally scan them\, and then alter the form using digital drawing. I cut layers on a laser and further alter the original form as I build the piece.” \nSusan Meyer earned her Bachelor of Science from Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, and her Master of Fine Arts\, Boston Museum School/Tufts University\, Boston\, MA.  Her recent solo exhibitions include Incident #69 at Incident Report Viewing Station\, Hudson\, NY; Plato’s Retreat at Plus Gallery in Denver\, CO; and Together\, a sculptural installation exhibited at Artspace in New Haven\, CT.  Recent group exhibitions include Odds and Ends\, take one at Valley Variety in Hudson\, NY\, co-organized with Jeff Starr\, with exhibition essay by Cydney M. Payton; Exquisite at LABspace\, LABspace Gallery\, Hillsdale\, NY\, a collaborative piece with Gina Occhiogrosso and Jeff Starr; Small Works 2015\, Shirt Factory Gallery\, Glens Falls\, NY; Organic Chemistry\, KMOCA\, Kington\, NY;  2014 Exhibition by Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region\, Albany Institute of History and Art\, Albany\, NY\, Juror: Stephen Westfall\, catalogue\, received A. Grindle Custom Framing Award; and Imaginary Worlds\, The Art Center Gallery\, Saratoga Arts\, Saratoga Springs\, NY.  Her awards include a Fellowship from the Institute for the Digital Humanities\, University of Denver\, Video Production Workshop\, and residencies at Redux Contemporary Art Center\, Charleston\, SC; PlatteForum\, Denver\, CO; Pilchuck Glass School – Emerging Artist in Residence\, Stanwood\, WA; Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, Snowmass\, CO; Ucross Foundation\, Sheridan\, WY;  and Sculpture Space Residency in Utica\, NY.  She is currently an Assistant Professor at The College of Saint Rose in Albany\, NY.\n\nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Alfred Z.

SUMMARY:Three Hundred Sixty Five: An Idea And The Reality
DESCRIPTION:January 23 – February 26\, 2016 \na solo exhibition / installation by Eric Nelson \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, January 23\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \n \nAfter several years of making large sculptures\, Eric Nelson decided to revisit his early interest in small scale work. He began a new project with the aim of creating one small carved wood sculpture a day for a year\, with each piece carved from a 2 x 2 x 4 inch mahogany block.  In reality it took almost twelve years to complete the project\, which he titled Three Hundred Sixty Five. The work is  inspired and informed by memory\, direct observation and drawings.  He says: “Some of my earliest memories are playing with toys\, figures and decorative objects. The materials\, texture\, color and method of manufacture of these objects interested me.  Most of them held a sense of intimacy and imaginative power that was transformative.  Also\, the accessibility and tactility of these objects gave me great satisfaction and lasting pleasure. The sources for the sculptures are derived from invention\, ancient\, modern\, and decorative art (including pottery\, jewelry and amulets)\, plants\, animals\, geometric structures and ordinary objects. The first several pieces were feasible to make in one day.  As the project progressed the sculptures became more complex and time consuming.  This progression is evident as one views the whole project.” \nEric Nelson earned his B.A. from the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle\, Chicago\, IL\, an M.A. and M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in Iowa City\, IA.  He recently had a solo exhibition at Jackson Gallery\, Town Hall Theater\, Middlebury\, VT\, and his sculpture has been installed in public sculpture parks at James Madison University in Harrisonburg\,VA; Navy Pier in Chicago\, IL; and the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln\, MA. His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions including In Grain:  Contemporary Wood Sculpture\, Fleming Museum of Art\, The University of Vermont\, Burlington\, VT; Flowers\, Trees\, Birds\, Bees:  Nature Explored\, PhotoPlace Gallery\, Middlebury\, VT; and A Cause for Art:  Alonzo Davis Fellowship Exhibit\, Sande Webster Gallery\, Philadelphia\, PA. His awards include Fellowship Residencies from  Moulin à Nef\, Auvillar\, France; Virginia Center for the Arts\, Sweet Briar\, VA; and  Sculpture Space Inc.\, Utica\, NY. He received The Albert Jacobson Memorial Award from Silvermine Guild Arts Center\, New Canaan\, CT and has twice received Fellowships from the Vermont Council on the Arts. He recently retired from Middlebury College where he taught sculpture and drawing for thirty-three years. To learn more about Eric Nelson visit www.ericnelsonfineart.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Lake George Kayak Company and the New York State Council on the Arts\, a state agency.
