COSMOCULUS
August 23 - October 10, 2021
Claire Ashley’s work investigates inflatables as painting, sculpture, installation and performance costume. These works have been exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, and site-specific installations, performances and collaborations. The following is from the artist Claire Ashley: For this show, I play with the idea of portals, oculi, and layers of visual experience that reference landscape, bodyscape and alien worlds. I want to promote the experience of looking both externally at the surface and form of the monumental painted inflatable sculptures and internally into their bellies or brains, through multiple eye openings or oculi of sorts, to other layers of experience. These portals reveal multiple translations - lit sculptural objects, digital video, cavernous sound, or fast paced virtual environments using the oculus quest. Look, listen, gently touch, relax, and give the oculus a go in this immersive environment. Audioscape created by sound artist and collaborator Joshua Patterson." Please see the Gallery Attendant for directions on using the virtual reality headset. -

Residue
November 1 - December 5, 2021
Change, decay, and regeneration are central to much of Rachel Eng's work in which the subject matter is our environment and our changing relationship to it. What is defined as ‘nature’ can be a variety of things, from a parking lot to a garden to a forest. These artworks are often driven by a question, and through the process of making more questions arise. Eng does not see the finished works as answers but a way to share an experience that possesses the complexity of these topics. Funding has been made possible by The Puffin Foundation, Ltd. -
An American in Venice: James McNeill Whistler and His Legacy Thirty-five prints by the artist and his followers
March 1 - June 27, 2021
Featuring 35 prints of James McNeill Whistler and his contemporaries, this exhibition highlights the role of the artist as illustrator of sights unseen. Whistler sought to capture a “Venice of the Venetians,” and he braved the cold, damp winter of 1879 to explore the city in search of new subjects that would set his art apart from the view paintings that had defined Venetian cityscapes up to that point. His prints depict palazzo entries, private courtyards and sweeping views over the canal where Venice’s most famous monuments appear rarely and in the background. His career-long interest in the effects of light and water were enhanced by the technical innovations that he developed in this period and these, along with his novel subject matters, created a vision of Venice that was unprecedented in its originality. -

Shifting Gaze: A Reconstruction of The Black & Hispanic Body in Contemporary Art from the Collection of Dr. Robert B. Feldman
March 1 - June 20, 2021
Shifting Gaze: A Reconstruction of The Black & Hispanic Body in Contemporary Art is a collection of work by artists who are exploring concepts about identity, beauty, belonging, and religion, as well as work with deep gravitas around poignant issues of race, sexuality, violence, displacement, vulnerability, erasure, and visibility. The title is evocative and an emblematic reference to art history and the critical social agency of our current times. Through various media, such as painting, sculpture, drawing, and collage, the Black and Hispanic body (physical and metaphoric) is implied or materializes with subtlety in some instances, beautifully unfolds in others, and in a few, is direct, dramatic, and heartbreaking. The symbolic framework of the Shifting Gaze and Reconstruction helps generate a larger dialogue between the works on view and the specificities of a diverse African & Hispanic Diaspora in our current physical, social, and political landscape, as revealed through each artist’s personal experience and distinctive aesthetics. The power of this collection, conceptually, formally, across contexts, sensibilities, and interests is the result of the extraordinary vision and passionate quest of the Winter Park collector Dr. Feldman who shares with us an unparalleled visual intellect fueled by his knowledge, curiosity, humanity, and keen eye. To view the exhibition virtually, go here. Link to artist talk given at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art in October 2020.
