Artifacts of the Ephemeral by artist Katherine Adler

WHAT: ARTIFACTS OF THE EPHEMERAL
WHERE: STUDIO4, 25 MAIN ST, NORTHAMPTON MA
WHEN: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 THROUGH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22

Hours open to public:
Thursday 8pm-12am
Friday 8am-9pm

ARTIFACTS OF THE EPHEMERAL is a 24 hour solo durational performance by artist Katherine Adler. They will be responding to 24 personal meditations (embodying through movement and drawn imagery) and making public their inner experience.

Every hour is preset with a specific meditation and soundtrack to enhance the tone of the space. Audiences are invited into the School for Contemporary Dance for 18 of the 24 hours to passively observe the process as performance. This is an opportunity for the artist to shed the layers and filters applied to their communication when confined to linguistic language and instead engage with space in a more intimately present way. The goal is to invite the audience to witness the artist's truest form of articulation without the structure of narrative. Viewers are encouraged to remain in the space for at least 20 minutes but can stay or return for as long as the space is open.

This project is made possible through a grant from the Northampton Arts Council. Past iterations of the work have been supported by Eggtooth Productions and the Mass Cultural Council.

Zea Mays Printmaking: Internship Openings 2020

Zea Mays Printmaking is accepting applications for our 2020 Spring/Summer Internship Program

Our interns spend six months doing primary research into safer and non-toxic printmaking processes and help with a wide range of workshops. Our summer interns spend more time helping with intensive workshops. During and after their internship, interns receive a one-year full studio membership to work on their own art utilizing the wonderful printmaking facilities and art community at Zea Mays Printmaking.

We are looking for interns for:
March - August 2020 (application deadline December 1, 2019)
September 2020 - February 2021 (application deadline April 1, 2020)

We are looking for people who have printmaking experience, a deep interest in safer and non-toxic processes and a desire to contribute to a research based studio. We prefer interns who have a B.A. with a printmaking emphasis, but are happy to consider printmakers who've taken an alternative route to learning the medium.

DOORS 7:00PM / SHOW 8:00PM - ALL AGES - $10-15 (sliding scale!)

The Leafies are a 10 piece band from the not-so-happy valley of Western, MA. An eclectic array of genres covering everything from pop to free jazz to hardcore. Stage shows have been referred to as “Broadway On Acid.” A series of interconnected stories create a unified experience dealing with topics such as organized religion, anxiety disorders, gender roles, castrati, and a little romance.

Think high school drama club meets Zappa.

Props, costumes, and THE GIANT CLAM! Everything is not going to be alright! But Leafies strive to make this world a better place for you and me to live. Join us in our fight against the Happy New Beard's club and help us bring down their senseless homophobia, intimidation, and ridiculous assumptions about gender!

December in the Hosmer Gallery at Forbes Library

December in the Hosmer Gallery
Paintings by Alice Thomas, Tisha Ferguson, and Cin Kunz
December 3-29, 2019
Reception: December 4, 6-8 PM

Tisha Ferguson‘s selection of paintings is titled Soft Works: Abstract landscapes in fiber & mixed media. Her abstract expressionist landscapes are emotional interpretations of the world as it reveals itself.

Alice Thomas is a contemporary-conceptual artist of western Massachuestts. She has shown her work in Massachusetts and New York; recent venues include Smith College, Amherst College and the Stoneleigh-Burnham School. Her paintings in this exhibit are acrylic on canvas from both the Precarious and Coalesce series, including the painting that became the cover art for Silkworm 12: Survival, Annual Review of the Florence Poets Society, 2019 edition.

Cin Kunz is an interdisciplinary artist based in Northampton, MA. Her newest paintings present a visual reaction to the conflict between the symbiotic foundation of the natural world and the chaotic expansion of exploitative human activity. She examines the tension found between forms, the use of line as points of contact and meaning, and the influence of one boundary, one direction, one action upon another.

Cin has recently exhibited at Westfield State University Arno Maris Gallery, Greenfield Community College South Gallery, Massachusetts Statehouse Senate Conference Chambers, #Local Gallery, Artspace, Arts Night Out Northampton, MAP Gallery, and at open studios in Western Massachusetts.
