Fragments: Collaging the Material World
Juried by Annie Silverman
October 28November 22, 2019
Reception: Thursday, November 7, 6:008:00 p.m.

Gallery Series Workshop with Annie Silverman
Rip It UP!
Saturday, November 2
10:00 a.m.3:00 p.m.
If life imitates art, then it imitates a collage. That's the thought that inspired "Fragments," the latest submission-based Chandler Gallery show juried by artist Annie Silverman. As she puts it, we live in a world of "juxtaposing moments" and creating a collage is possibly the best way to express these dizzyingly fast and overwhelming times. "The gluing and combining of fragments seems very apt for our fractured and fractious world," she explained.

Defiant Vision: Prints & Poetry by Munio Makuuchi at Smith College Museum of Art
in Northampton, Massachusetts through December 8

Smith College Museum of Art

Smith College Museum of Art is showing Defiant Vision: Prints & Poetry by Munio Makuuchi through December 8. Munio Makuuchi, born Howard Takahashi, was a Japanese-American artist and poet born in 1934. He and his family were imprisoned in Minidoka Relocation Center, an internment camp, for three years during World War II, and this experience was a catalyst for his artistic vision. He was highly educated in the arts, earning an MFA in painting and studying printmaking with established artists Wendell Black and Mauricio Lasansky. Despite his MFA, printmaking was the medium that captured his attention, specifically drypoint, a technique in which the image is scratched into a metal plate with a sharp tool before being inked and printed. Makuuchi's poems, meanwhile, sprung from a single poetry class. His poems are short and dreamlike, detailing his past, his fears of nuclear disaster and his love for his family and nature. Though his poems have been featured in various anthologies over the years, Defiant Vision is the first museum exhibition to focus solely on his work. The exhibit hopes to contextualize and draw attention to Makuuchi's work, giving him the recognition that he and his art deserve. Smith College Museum of Art is located at 20 Elm Street at Bedford Terrace in Northampton, Massachusetts and is open TuesdaySaturday 10:00 a.m.4:00 p.m., Thursday 10:00 a.m.8:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:004:00 p.m. For more information, please visit scma.smith.edu/art/defiant-vision.

Center for Contemporary Printmaking has two shows on view through November 10, From the Head and the Heart and Printmakers Open Forum: Exchange Portfolio 2019 "Sanctuary". From the Head and the Heart is a group show with works expressing a wide range of political and social topics.

Printmakers Open Forum: Exchange Portfolio 2019 "Sanctuary" is also a group exhibition, presented as a portfolio created by Printmakers Open Forum meant to represent the current state of printmaking as of June 2019. Director and curator Shelley Thorstensen explains that the new technology of the art scene has put printmaking at a "cross hairs," introducing a complicating factor to the medium and inviting artists to prove their skill. The featured artists come from 14 different states as well as Canada and Sweden, and range in age from 23 to 83. Some are emerging talents while others are well-established, but every featured artist each individually provided help over the years to Printmakers Open Forum. The theme of this forum is "sanctuary" in reference to the feeling printmakers have while immersed in their work in a shop. Both From the Head and the Heart and Printmakers Open Forum: Exchange Portfolio 2019 "Sanctuary" display the work of artists aiming to share something personal with the viewer, whether that be the viewpoint of an issue they're passionate about or the way they feel when they can sink into their creative zone.
