    The New Geologic Epoch, online exhibition + printed book

    "For this exhibition, member artists/scientists illuminate the transformations that have led us to the current human epoch, now referred to as the Anthropocene.

    The New Geologic Epoch presents work relating to or commenting on geological transformations in the land including commentary on previous works by Earth or Land artists. The works reference our evolution leading to the precarious situation we find ourselves in today with massive scarring of the planet's surfaces due to mining and the impacts of the built environment with the development of dams, bridges, roads, and sprawling urban cities. Works include a wide range of media with drawings, watercolors, collage, textile, sculpture, ceramic, painting, photography, sound, video, film, installation, performative, and eco-remediation.

    The New Geologic Epoch captures the shifting baselines in the landscape, which over time have become the new normal."

    Artist Statement:

    Strata presents a timeline of sorts, and is inspired by ice and sediment core sampling, various geological formations and stratifications, and topographical patterns. The multi panel installation calls to mind glaciers and various land formations, along with conditions created by global warming and climate change, such as melt water, flooding, and endangered areas that I have indicated by the hot orange-pink color, a color that I associate with an emergent situation. Strata is my interpretation of an organizational structure that considers the Anthropocene. My art is rooted in the exploration and representation of landscape inspired by my travel to isolated northern locations and interprets landscape and place as Image, object, and installation. In the studio, I am continually re(de)fining what landscape is, hopefully creating a context that exists somewhere between the real and the imagined, as observations and memories are combined with my research concerning the environment and other critical issues of our time.

    New Radicals at Cerulean Arts in Philadelphia, PA

    New Radicals at Cerulean Arts featuring 14 Philadelphia connected painters chosen for their subtle, slow and pleasureful commitment to their practice: Rebekah Callaghan, Mariel Capanna, Alex Cohen, Evan Fugazzi, Claire Kincade, Bonnie Levinthal, Adam Lovitz, Dustin Metz, John Mitchell, Samantha Mitchell, Kaitlin Pomerantz, Liza Samuel, Bill Scott and Leigh Werrell. While the work varies in form and subject, an intimate relationship with mark, color and surface is consistent. These 14 demonstrate a loving restraint, a respect for the mystery that unfolds in process and a deference for the maker’s hand. In the face of current trends, this careful work feels radical. I look to these painters as an antidote, as proof that the greatest painting can still be deeply felt and personal. And I take great interest in the way this groundswell is happening here, two hours south of New York.

    Opening Reception: Thursday August 24, 2017 | 5 – 7 PM

    The Woskob Family Gallery is pleased to announce SEEP, a group exhibition presenting 11 contemporary artists hailing from across the country whose work engages with water. Curated by gallery director Ann Tarantino, the exhibition explores water from diverse viewpoints: whether as a medium for art-making, a springboard for exploring social justice issues, or as a metaphor for unknowable terrain. An abridged version made its debut at the Arlington Arts Center (Arlington, VA) in March 2017. SEEP features the work of artists Micaela Amateau Amato, Caetlynn Booth, Rob Carter, Ken Fandell, Bonnie Levinthal, Bethany Johnson, Giulia Piera Livi, Patrick McDonough, John Peña, Joseph Smolinski, and Jenna Spevack.

  • SEEP

    SEEP

    SEEP curated by Ann Tarantino at the Arlington Arts Center
    SEEP explores the ways in which contemporary artists use water in their work, whether as subject matter, medium, or both. Water, in its myriad forms and interpretations—whether as a source of visual inspiration, a substance with social and political implications, or the actual stuff of art itself—is at the root of all the work in the exhibition. Taken together, the works offer a fuller understanding of how
    contemporary artists respond to, visualize, interpret, conceptualize, and see water today. Participating artists: Caetlynn Booth, Rob Carter, Rachel Farbiarz, Bonnie
    Levinthal, Giulia Livi, and Patrick McDonough.

    Curators Spotlight will be on view Jan. 21 - Mar 26, 2017 with opening reception Saturday Feb. 11, from 6 - 9 pm. Gallery talks with selected curators are scheduled for Saturday, March 4, 1 - 4pm.

  • REVIEW: BETWEEN MATTER and EXPERIENCE

  • The WOODMERE ANNUAL: 73rd JURIED EXHIBITION

    Woodmere Art Museum
    June 14 – September 1, 2014

    The exhibition will feature works in a wide variety of media from artists living within 50 miles of the Museum. Works will be selected to create a cohesive presentation that explores contemporary themes and ideas within the arts of Philadelphia. The exhibition will be juried by artist Sarah McEneaney. In conjunction with this exhibition, some of McEneaney’s own work will be on view, and the artist will select objects for display from Woodmere’s collection that relate to the show’s themes.

  • BETWEEN MATTER and EXPERIENCE

    Between Matter and Experience is a group exhibition that represents the work of nine contemporary painters. While the visual vocabularies are diverse, there exists a shared humanist perspective that suggests the way it feels to move through the world without feigned knowing or emotional distance, expressing an openness to sensation of both paint and subject.

    The work reflects attention to the overlooked, the intimate, the awkward and imperfect, appreciates mystery, and possesses a curiosity for things hidden. In all the work, there is a suggestion of the existence of something not entirely present.

    This "between" state takes the form of the tension between abstraction and representation, between image and the physical form of the paint, and where a quality is present that resists naming.

    At the heart of this view, is the idea that this attention to humanness inspires a range of voices.

    This show grew from a small, casual dialogue between a few of the painters in this show into a larger discussion on painting. The original conversations traced the threads of continuity that weave through the work of these artists from different cities and generations.

    Partly facilitated by the personal relationships that connect them, or maybe as a result of seeing each other's work, but most likely due to something much more far-reaching and complex, these painters share an attitude on painting that manifests in quite different visual expressions. The decision for this particular grouping is to draw attention to how diverse that expression can be.

    Participating Artists:

    Betsey Batchelor
    Katherine Bradford
    Sarah Gamble
    Lauren Garvey

    Cerulean Arts is pleased to present Sampler: Small Works by 30 Artists, featuring paintings, sculpture and works on paper. Curated by artist Bill Scott, the exhibition comprises artists spanning generations, geography and artistic styles. Scott selected artists whose work he admires and enjoys viewing. From each artist, he chose signature pieces indicative of their style – abstract, representational, tonalist or colorist.

    Bill Scott is a color-based abstraction painter
    and printmaker. He is represented by Hollis Taggart Galleries, New York, where he has had four solo exhibitions. His work has been the
    subject of additional solo presentations in London, Philadelphia and
    San Francisco, and has been included in numerous group shows.
