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.

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.
