2018 Annual Landscape Exhibition at William Baczek Fine Art
in Northampton, Massachusetts through October 13

William Baczek
Andrew Haines, Stoney Brook Valley, acrylic on panel, 40" x 44".

From now until October 13, William Baczek Fine Art is showcasing their "2018 Annual Landscape Exhibition." This year, ten artists from across the US and Canada have been invited to participate in the exhibition, creating a selection of pieces that vary widely in medium, style, and interpretation. "2018 Annual Landscape Exhibition" addresses the preconceived notions of what landscape art can be. The artists remove context, utilize unexpected mediums, and avoid cliché to make their works standouts among the art of landscapes. The featured work is at turns concrete and ethereal, straightforward and abstract. No two pieces are alike, just as no two artists' personal idea of landscapes are alike. The result is an exhibit that encourages a different view of not just the art of landscapes, but of the world these landscapes reside in. There will be a reception for "2018 Annual Landscape Exhibition" on Saturday, September 8 from 5:00 p.m.⎻7:00 p.m. William Baczek Fine Art is located at 36 Main Street in Northampton, Massachusetts and is open Tuesday⎻Wednesday 10:00 a.m.⎻5:00 p.m. Thursday⎻Saturday 10:00 a.m.⎻7:00 pm. and Sunday 12:00 p.m.⎻5:00 p.m. For more information, please visit wbfinearts.com.

On Friday, September 21 from 5:00 p.m.⎻7:00 p.m., there will be an Exhibition Opening Party at Keene State College's Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery for two new exhibitions opening September 22. "Mark Hogancamp: Women of Marwencol and Other Possible Histories" is a photo-series and collection of photographs by Mark Hogancamp, an upstate New York artist who creates his pieces as a way of recovering from a violent assault. He customizes and arranges 1/6 scale figures in miniature settings to form a continuous narrative and tell an ongoing story of love, loss, conflict, and more. His work addresses the dynamic of narrative, fantasy, and fiction and aspects of war and gender. "Tell Him What We Said About "Paint It Black" will also be on view, showcasing a variety of works from numerous artists addressing the complexities of adolescence and identity. The title of the exhibition is taken from a line about a Rolling Stones song in Big Star's song "Thirteen:" "won't you tell your dad get off my back / tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'." The famous rock song celebrates adolescence and all of its emotional ups and downs, and the exhibition channels those emotions perfectly. Both exhibitions encourage the viewer to look deeply into each piece and discover how the artists have interpreted their experiences into works of art. Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery is located at 229 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire and is open Wednesday⎻Thursday 12:00 p.m.⎻7:00 p.m. and Friday⎻Sunday 12:00 p.m.⎻5:00 p.m. For more information, please visit keene.edu/tsag.
