The term taxidermy comes from the Greek words taxis = arrangement and derma = skin

In this exhibit Erica Pinto is bringing the "taxis" out of the "derma", using her taxidermy skills and artistic sense to create arrangements that, with a wry and sometime macabre sense of humor, are a nod to the Victorian craze.

She breathes new life into creatures with traditional taxidermy methods while adding seductive sculptural elements. Her work is a window into the humour noir of absurd beauty, provoking discomfort as well as amusement.

The influential film star was also a renowned artist whose striking black-and-white photographs of American life in the 1960s embodied the authenticity, grit, and intensity that characterized many of his films. The photographs featured in The Lost Album were only recently rediscovered following Hopper's death in 2010 and are on loan from The Hopper Art Trust, Los Angeles.

Gayle Caruso: "The Light and the Yellow Wallpaper"
Elizabeth Strasser: "Porcelain Muse"
Sofie Hodara and Martha Rettig: "In Pursuit of Happiness"

Gayle Caruso
"The Light and the Yellow Wallpaper"

This show is based on a Leonard Cohen poem and The Yellow Wallpaper, a 1892 novel by Charlotte Perking Gilman.

The Yellow Wallpaper. is a story is about what happens when the mind is faced with forced inactivity. The artwork is layer upon layer of ideas that all connect. The paintings , silkscreen prints, collages and photographs are all part of my process.

The structure of my process is non sequential, it is working on a series until I cannot do it any more.
Elizabeth Strasser
"Porcelain Muse"

This work consists of a series of pairs: a porcelain vessel and a painting whose forms, colors and textures are inspired by the corresponding clay piece.

The abstract paintings focus on the energetic dynamics of their clay partners. The incised patterns and carvings, the brushed and sponged stains and glaze colors of the clay pieces are echoed in the forms, marks and color palette of the paintings.

Although paired, each work stands on its own, reflecting similarities but not as a copy or detail of the other.

An Infrastructure of Silence

An Infrastructure of Silence is a collection of works that confronts institutional racism in U.S. America and the interconnections of slavery, race, poverty, wealth, and segregation in the United States.  As a citizen of this democracy and an artist with shameful ancestral roots in the institutions of slavery, I have a shared responsibility to help confront the divisive and persistent effects of institutionalized racism on all Americans.

The Underneath
a collaborative, site-specific installation by
Martha Lewis & Marion Belanger

 This project was specially commissioned by
Artspace New Haven
on the theme of Wellness
for the Alternative Space Weekend
which takes place at the
Yale West Haven Campus

October 26,-28 12-6 pm
Three Days Only!

The Underneath is an imersive multi-media work of art that examines our place in the greater ecosystem by creating an environment of roots, dirt, insects, and both filtered and natural light. Working with soil and the growth of plants is vital to survival and the cultivation of food, as well as to mental wellbeing and healing, and by invoking the varied meanings of “roots,” this project explores what nourishes us and how we interact with “the underneath.” Marion and Martha conceived of this project as an off-shoot of thier collaboration on Roots & Wings a forthcoming permanent installation at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station where they are currently in residence in the archive, doing research. In addition, this project partners with the Yale Landscape Lab who have generously agreed to supply earth for this project.

ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE NOVEMBER 12
Memories and experiences of childhood become imprinted on the consciousness in a permanent way. Seeing toys we played with, pictures we drew, and characters that were real or imaginary give us a sense of nostalgia. “Child’s Play” is an international, all-media exhibition celebrating the child within. The concept of this show is to revisit childlike ideas, behaviors, symbols, and imagery to bring some whimsy and childlike innocence into our adult lives.
