Odd Volumes: Book Art from the Allan Chasanoff Collection
Friday, November 7, 2014–Sunday, February 1, 2015
Drawn from a major collection given to the Gallery by Allan Chasanoff, B.A. 1961, Odd Volumes
showcases a selection of experimental and innovative works of book art
from the 1960s to the present. This student-curated exhibition considers
the transformation of books into sculptural objects from multiple
perspectives: the history of book art, the relationship between form and
content, and the interaction between the viewer and the work. Featuring
approximately 100 works by more than 80 artists, including acclaimed
figures such as Olafur Eliasson, Yoko Ono, and Dieter Roth, this
exhibition offers a rare opportunity to discover the world of book art.
From November 7, 2014, through January 31, 2015, Artspace, a nonprofit
arts organization in New Haven’s 9th Square, presents a companion
exhibition, Connecticut (un) Bound, featuring additional works from Chasanoff’s collection as well as responses by local artists.
Exhibition and publication organized by Andrew Hawkes, M.F.A. candidate; Ashley James, Ph.D. candidate; Jessica Kempner, B.A. 2014; Sinclaire Marber, MC ‘15; Elizabeth Mattison, B.A. 2014, M.A. 2014; and Colleen McDermott, SY ‘15, under the mentorship of Gallery staff.
Made possible by the Jane and Gerald Katcher Fund for Education; the John F. Wieland, Jr., B.A. 1988, Fund for Student Exhibitions; and the Nolen-Bradley Family Fund for Education.

Doug Beube's upcoming open studio series Emendation is a comprehensive survey of his bookwork, collage, and mixed media installation. Emandation
is a display of the artist's ongoing and often times polemical dialogue
with western culture's relationship to information, the written word
and the natural world. The
exhibition spans Beube's lengthy career covering tremendous thematic
ground, including references from Greek Antiquity through contemporary
historical methods. Beube's artistic pursuits channel a very delicate
balance both personal and global. Intellectually playing with his varied
subjects it is his chosen material, the book, that unpacks the contour
of his work overall, where even our most sacred and historical
achievements are not immune to change and, perhaps, risks extinction.
Marking the first day of the series is Melt, an environmentally sensitive two day installation involving a politically dynamic sextet of books selected and amended according to their content. Each book incised with text, such as the words JUST/ICE paired with Tom Maloney's U.S. Camera '62, ICE/CAP with The National Geographic Society's As We Live We Breath, and corresponding to Alfred Knoff's Arsenals of Foley are inscribed the words RED/ACT. The frozen books are housed in a steel frame alongside an audio component registered to make live a global and personal transformation and meltdown. The ice run-off is then bottled and branded sm/ART Water. This new installation animates Beube’s dialogue of socio-political conditions, cultures of violence both physical and psychological, and those structures existing to support the inverse of the latter. Taking place at Beube’s Brooklyn brownstone studio, Melt‘s conditional properties leverage the anachronistic technology of the book into the environment directly.

Thinking Inside the Box: 52 Weekly Works in Fiber…and Beyond: A Show of Work by Ellen Schiffman
On view from October 11th through November 15th,
Mon.- Fri. 10:00 am–5:30 pm, Sat. 10:00 am-5pm.
Nylen Gallery at Picture This, 606 Post Rd.E., 203-227-6861.
Over the course of a year, artist Ellen Schiffman decided to celebrate her 60th birthday by filling a 9x9x3” shadow box each week with a work utilizing fiber and other materials. Schiffman, who has been working as a fiber artist for over 20 years, wanted to explore techniques and materials in ways that stretched and redefined not only herself as an artist but also the fiber art medium itself. Each box presents a fully realized work of art, often prompting the questions “What is she using here?” and "How did she do that?” The exhibit also presents the work Schiffman created once the 52 boxes were complete. Further developing the ideas and techniques she discovered in those first boxes, Schiffman has created larger works and series. The artistic journey she has taken unfolds on the walls of the gallery offering a fascinating look at the artistic vision and process of this accomplished artist. Schiffman explains, “The result, which you see on these walls, is a kind of visual diary, with each box presenting a work of art, which was created over the course of a week. You will see Q-tips, egg shells, lichens, drinking straws, rusted items, metal washers, and screws (as well as the more expected silks, wools, and beads.). I have felted, embroidered, woven, knotted, wrapped, dyed, beaded, sculpted, manipulated, burned - and also made up techniques to achieve the results I was after.

Small Works Show
"Small
sketches and studies are often only the beginning of larger creations,
but they can also be masterful works of art in their own right. This
exhibit, which runs through January 3rd, features small scale work from
over 30 regional artists and will showcase a variety of styles and
subjects. Ranging from abstract expressionism to contemporary realism,
and representational still lifes to impressionistic landscapes, these
little gems easily prove that scale does not limit artistic creation,
but enhance it. Handwright Gallery Annex will be the host of this
exhibit. The Annex is a new, temporary gallery space that occupies the
old Varnum's Pharmacy at 91 Main Street in New Canaan. With a fresh coat
of paint, new dark wood floors and furniture and accessories from
Donald Rich and Sallea Antiques, the Small Works Show promises a classic
and modern experience that will both charm and inspire the viewer."

Join us at this inaugural event!
Tasty information awaits you from the new Winter 2014 edition of Connecticut Explored magazine! Mingle with other history fans as we discuss Connecticut at War. We will be joined by Elizabeth Normen, publisher of Connecticut Explored, and two contributing authors:
James E. Brown, a corporate attorney, will discuss the thorny topic of how government pays for war efforts, in this case, how Connecticut financed its Civil War debts.
Warren Goldstein, professor of history at the University of Hartford, will shed light on religious leaders and war, specifically, how a Yale chaplain fought the Vietnam War from the pulpit.
Brought to you at no charge, thanks to Connecticut Humanities.
