Real Art Ways is pleased to present drawing, installation, and performance art by Estonian-born, NY based artist and educator Jaanika Peerna in an exhibition entitled, Cold Love.
Curated by David Borawski
Peerna’s work encompasses drawing, installation, and performance, often dealing with the theme of transitions in light, air, water and other natural phenomena. Her performances often involve the audience in participatory reflection on the current climate meltdown. Her art practice stems from the corporeal experience of existence and reaches towards enhanced awareness of the fragility, interconnectedness, and wonder of life.

Robert Sweeney's oil paintings subtly blend the personal with the technical, skillfully drawing in elements from the history of painting and and personal moments and details. His landscape paintings depict scenes from locations as varied as Italy, Boston, the Pioneer Valley, and his wife, Barbara's garden. As he puts it, “My painting is grounded in exploring particular qualities of life and gesture I perceive in the natural world. These elements evoke for me a haunting distillation of the human condition.”

Myth and folktales are creative stories that function as an attempt to find sacred meaning in an unclear world and explain phenomena that are mysterious or troubling. Real-world problems such as death and disease are given form as monsters and demons, while mysterious forces like love and the wind become deified. Lessons are taught, origins and endings explained, connections between humans and nature are defined. These tales have shifted and evolved through time and across cultures, providing a valuable insight into the human psyche over the ages.
“Otherworldly & Divine” is a multimedia group show that peers through the gauzy curtains of the realms of mythology and folklore. The intention of the artists involved is to appreciate the mutability of these stories while also contributing their own thoughts, hopes and fears into the world-pantheon of supernatural beings. This exhibition is curated by Gabrielle Shea.

Melted Pots and Cooked Books is the fall/winter exhibit at the library focusing on our collective shifting and intersecting food experiences. Our celebrations are enactments of old traditions, blended with new innovations, contemporary preferences and often necessary modifications and modernizations. This project interacts with those from both oral and written traditions and seeks to engage all the senses, including scent and taste, into the traditional word and image setting of the art gallery.
