SUMMARY:New Voices:  Rockland’s Next Art Generation
DESCRIPTION:New Voices: Rockland’s Next Art Generation\nFebruary 19 – April 1\, 2023\nOpening Reception: Sunday\, February 19\, 2pm – 5pm\nFree to the Public\nPlease join Rockland Center for the Arts for New Voices: Rockland’s Next Art Generation\, opening Sunday\, February 19th from 2-5pm.  During RoCA’s 75th Anniversary\, in 2022\, it presented Rockland’s Women of South Mountain Road.  These women had achieved national and international notoriety in their various fields.  We are excited to start off our 76th exhibition year by presenting some of the younger talent in Rockland\, as part of the next art generation.  Artists are Nina Berlingeri\, Joel Blenz\, Matt Casanova\, Danielle McDonald\, Alice Mizrachi\, and Nate Singer.\nNina Berlingeri has solidly planted roots in Rockland’s art scene through a 2014 artist residency at the Arts Students League of New York’s Vaclav Vytlacil studios.  She was then awarded the first Edward Hopper House Fellow of Creative Community Outreach for a 2018 artist residency.  Further developing her public youth arts programs\, “The Nighthawks” connecting local high school students with artworks\, and artists with ways to develop and refine their own creative practice.  Berlingeri was awarded the Emeritus Award for Historic Site Stewardship from the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2018 on behalf of the museum.  Berlingeri’s bold figurative work mirrors her life and the ongoing resonance between her experiences and environment. The deconstruction\, distortion\, and reinstitution of the figure is regularly evolved through creating a series of multiples- each derived directly from the previous.  This enables the distortion of the form to remain malleable and retain its immediacy.  Her current work has maintained the focus of the figure\, most recently through the lens of reflective self-portraits.\nJoel Blenz’s abstract\, mixed media artworks play with perception.  His work is an examination of the subcultural and natural decayed outdoor surfaces\, recreating beautiful textured and blended surfaces into his paintings.  He retains the grime\, grit\, and detritus of a street aesthetic through his manipulation of surfaces.  A studio practice has allowed for an exploration of an endless amount of layering and drying time in his painting process.  Each piece provides an interactive experience for the viewer.  When walking back and forth in front of the work\, colors shift and fade creating an illusion that confounds the viewer.  He is intrigued with the power of messages in public spaces and how advertising has an impact on our psyche.  He consciously makes an effort to create more positivity in this visual landscape by focusing his public art on uplifting and positive messages for the community.  His current work is an ongoing exploration of the ambiguous space that graffiti now occupies as both an outsider art form and a legitimate player in the contemporary world.  Blenz’s current work has been featured in exhibitions for Pop Up MoMA\, New York\, Gallery Guichard in Chicago\, IL\, Scope Art Fair and Graffiti Gardens in Miami FL during Art Basel.\nMatt Casanovas’ main focus is on the narrative – collecting from folklore\, sentimental memories\, and present day stories to create a timelessness through unbounded mediums in painting and printmaking.  He pulls the emphatic expressions of both body and sentiment from vintage film promotions as well as stories\, and applies them to a contemporary vantage point using materials and techniques of the old masters.  Casanovas has exhibited his work at the Garnerville Art Center\, Garnerville\, NY\, Sullivan Galleries\, Chicago\, IL and Siragusa Gallery\, Chicago\, IL\nDanielle McDonald uses a process of illustration\, a system of collecting\, deconstructing and reassembling images or fragments of moments preserved and composed in the mind.  These images are concrete\, symbolic and abstracts parts of life.  She plays with scale and perspective to visually imagine the way we prioritize and compose moments in the mind.  Parts of stories and images are weaved together\, consciously and subconsciously\, helping us to make sense of relating and connecting to others.  McDonald is a public school teacher and community worker.  She has collaborated with schools\, shelters\, cultural institutions\, universities\, facilities for incarcerated teens\, Groundswell and designed mural walls throughout Philadelphia and New York City\, designed sets for Opera Delaware and small independent films.\nAlice Mizrachi is a mixed media muralist\, fine artist\, educator\, and curator.  Grounded in deep compassion for the human experience across borders\, Mizrachi explores both the spiritual and physical dimensions of being human\, and in particular\, female.  Mizrachi’s intentions include the empowerment of self and others through artistic expression\, as well as advocacy for women\, youth\, and the environment.  Family\, community\, and tribe are also recurring themes and are approached as active spaces of shared engagement through her mural making.  Her studio practice has developed into a testing ground for explorations in assemblage\, sculpture\, and installation that has transformed both her painting practice and her work as a muralist.  Her spontaneous approach to line\, and the deconstruction and reconstruction of figurative elements in her assemblage and ceramic sculpture\, reveal a human hand in the making of her work\, an intentional maneuver in an increasingly technological age.  Mizrachi’s work has been featured in the Museum of the City of New York\, the National Museum of Women in the Arts and Albright-Knox Museum.\nNate Singer is a mixed media artists working in ink\, paint\, sculpture and film.  His interest in organic matter led to an intimate understanding of the underlying systems of embedded geometrics within organic matter. At once energetic and poised\, Singer’s abstract paintings and ink drawings use saturated\,  hard-edged shaped and intuitive calligraphic marks to create compositions that resemble organic growth while reveling in technical orchestration.  He has exhibited at Garnerville Art Center\, Saratoga Arts Center\, and Union College with an art residency at Salem Art Works.  He has been awarded a Hilda A. Colish Sculpture Award and a NY6 Think Tank Grant.\nPlease join Rockland Center for the Arts for New Voices: Rockland’s Next Art Generation.  The exhibit opens with an artist reception on Sunday\, Feb. 19th\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm.  The exhibit will be on view through April 1st\, open Mondays – Saturdays 11am – 4pm\, (closed Sundays).  Free to the Public (masks encouraged).  Also on view in Gallery One\, Window into Color: Works by Art Gunther\, works inspired by the light of the Edward Hopper House Museum and Study Center and by the realist painter himself.  Art-ifacts: Works by William Rauschenberg on view in Gallery Two.  Rauschenberg uses the lost art of sand casting to create three dimensional puzzle like pieces.  For more information call (845) 358-0877 or visit www.rocklandartcenter.org.\n RoCA gratefully acknowledges support for its programs from The Rea Charitable Trust\, ArtsWestchester\, Sarah and Stephen Thomas\, The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation\, M&T Bank\, The M&T Charitable Foundation\, The Dorothy Gillespie Foundation\, Walter Cain & Paulo Ribeiro\, Kantrowitz\, Goldhamer & Graifman P.C.\, QuietEvents\, the Estate of Joan Konner\, Lighting Services Inc.\,\, the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation\, Zaklin Family Charitable Fund\, The County of Rockland\, Art Services Group\, RoCA members\, donors and business members.\nRoCA’s programs are made possible\, in part\, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature. Funding is also made possible by the County of Rockland.\n \n \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Photo Exhibit: 82 Pieces of '82: Main Street\, Nyack
DESCRIPTION:82 Pieces of ’82\nMain Street\, Nyack\nPhotos by Brad Hess\nThe Historical Society of the Nyacks\n50 Piermont Avenue\n \nThe exhibit will be open Saturdays from 1 – 4 January 21st through April 15th\nIn 1982\, photographer Brad Hess walked Main Street in Nyack every Sunday morning\, taking over 3\,000 black and white photographs. Trying out a new film\, he decided Main Street was where he would experiment with it. As the images emerged from his dark room\, he became fascinated with the quality of the film as well as the opportunities Main Street offered him. He returned nearly every Sunday morning for the next year\, walking from 9W to the riverfront.\n \n82 Pieces of ’82\, Main Street\, Nyack will be our first traditional “opening” since COVID. Please join us in thanking Brad for sharing his amazing work with us\, and hearing what he has to say about these street scenes and their meaning for Nyack. We look forward to your questions\, feedback and commentary. Brad will have the floor around 1:30. Please come masked – we want to minimize everyone’s exposure to our current variant with its high transmission potential. And for that reason also\, our refreshments are very minimal.\n

Trying out a new film\, he decided Main Street was where he would experiment with it. As the images emerged from his dark room\, he became fascinated with the quality of the film as well as the opportunities Main Street offered him. He returned nearly every Sunday morning for the next year\, walking from 9W to the riverfront.\n \n82 Pieces of ’82\, Main Street\, Nyack will be our first traditional “opening” since COVID. Please join us in thanking Brad for sharing his amazing work with us\, and hearing what he has to say about these street scenes and their meaning for Nyack. We look forward to your questions\, feedback and commentary. Brad will have the floor around 1:30. Please come masked – we want to minimize everyone’s exposure to our current variant with its high transmission potential. And for that reason also\, our refreshments are very minimal.\n

SUMMARY:Improvisationalism: Myth & Nature
DESCRIPTION:Improvisationalism in Gallery One\nPaintings of Gde Arsa Artha\nApril 15 – June 10\, 2023\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 15\, 2pm – 5pm\nFree to the Public \nPlease join Rockland Center for the Arts for the opening of two exhibits: Improvisationalism: Paintings by Gde Arsa Artha in Gallery One.\nImprovisationalism is the work of Rockland artist\, Gde Arsa Artha\, inspired by his homeland of Ubud\, Bali\, Indonesia.  His paintings play off of nature\, mythology and traditional Balinese folk tales.  Art plays an important part in Balinese traditional ceremonies\, establishing a need for spatial orientation\, both physically and visually\, balancing and arranging the energy of the universe.  For example\, his painting “Moon Eclipse” displays the moon as the goddess of immortality fighting off the evil demon from hell as he flies through the sky during the full moon trying to swallow the moon goddess\, Ratih.  Ratih brings balance to the universe by not allowing the demon to capture immortality. The painting was inspired by the 1997 Hailey’s Comet and Bali mythology of the moon eclipse.  His latest paintings often incorporate ink and computer technology.  As tradition has informed his art\, evolution helped develop it; technically with the use of Western color and perspective while connecting with the past\, reflecting both his Balinese origin and his individuality.\nTjokorda Gde Arsa Artha studied all the traditional arts of his Bali homeland from an early age.  Arriving in New York in the early eighties\, he attended the Arts Students League in New York City on scholarship.  Through the Asia Society of New York and other organizations\, he has frequently participated in programs representing the visual and performing arts of Bali\, including music and dance performances\, workshops\, and demonstrations of Balinese techniques in painting\, carving\, crafts\, and dance.  He has exhibited in Bali’s Puri Lukisan Museum in Ubud\, throughout NYC and the Hudson Valley region.  He has been commissioned by UNICEF to paint “The Little Cowboy” for the Flags of the United Nations.  Artha has been a grant recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, a professor at Bard College\, a member of the Giri Mekar\, a community gamelan orchestra in the Hudson Valley\, and is the current Director of The Pomona Cultural Center in Rockland.  He resides in Pomona\, NY with his family.\nPlease also join Rockland Center for the Arts for the artist reception on Saturday\, April 15th\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm.  The exhibit will be on view through June 10th\, open Mondays – Saturdays 11am – 4pm\, (closed Sundays).  Free to the Public.  For more information call (845) 358-0877 or visit www.rocklandartcenter.org.\nRoCA gratefully acknowledges support for its programs from The Rea Charitable Trust\, ArtsWestchester\, Sarah and Stephen Thomas\, The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation\, M&T Bank\, The M&T Charitable Foundation\, The Dorothy Gillespie Foundation\, Walter Cain & Paulo Ribeiro\, Kantrowitz\, Goldhamer & Graifman P.C.\, QuietEvents\, the Estate of Joan Konner\, Lighting Services Inc.\,\, the Mark and Jessie Milano Foundation\, Zaklin Family Charitable Fund\, The County of Rockland\, Art Services Group\, RoCA members\, donors and business members.\nRoCA’s programs are made possible\, in part\, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:Untold Stories
DESCRIPTION:Untold Stories\nApril 15 – June 10\, 2023\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 15\, 2pm-5pm\nFree to the Public\nRockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) continues its mission of inspiring the\ncommunity through new and diverse forms of contemporary exhibitions\, all\nfree to the public. During the month of April\, RoCA will bring together\nthree artists whose art conveys life stories of ecological issues\,\nimmigration\, and humanity.\nUntold Stories\, curated by Mary Ting for the Emerson Gallery\, brings\ntogether fragmented memories\, dreams\, whispers\, whimpers\, trauma\,\nhistorical and contemporary chaos which are woven together\, dissected\, and\nreassembled in the works of Tara Sabharwal\, Mary Ting and Yeon Ji Yoo. Time\nis at once present\, past\, future and the site is here\, there\, elsewhere and\nnowhere. These works are much more than collages\, drawings\, paintings\,\nprints\, books\, sculpture\, and photographs – they are evocations of loss;\ndesperations; relics\, shrines; and reckonings. Likewise\, they are also\nrebirths; devotions; divinations\, odes to nature\, wonder\, life; and newly\nrevised contemporary translations of old stories. These Untold Stories are\nthe artists’ pilgrimage into the hauntings of war\, immigration\, politics\,\ngender issues and ecological collapse.\nThe paintings\, drawings and prints of Tara Sabharwal are intuitive in\nprocess -a melding of the unconscious self and the raging global migration\ncrisis. Tara has also curated many exhibitions on the theme of migration.\nTara was born and educated in Delhi\, India and resides in New York.\nThe drawings\, installations and books of Mary Ting reflect on Chinese\ncultural history\, trauma\, grief\, and the loss of nature. Mary teaches\nenvironmental justice and does research on the wildlife trade. Mary is an\nAmerican born Chinese\, who also studied and worked in China.\nThe sculpture\, photographs and collages of Yeon-Ji Yoo are infused with her\nchildhood memories\, family struggles and reconstructed narratives. Yeon Ji\nhas a graduate degree in fine arts and also environmental science. Yeon Ji\nspent her early childhood in rural South Korea before immigrating to the\nUnited States.\nPlease join Rockland Center for the Arts for the exhibition opening artists\nreception on Saturday\, April 15th\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm.
