Free bus transportation

September 10, 2010, Fort Lauderdale, FL — To celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month, Girls’ Club will host Art Fallout in collaboration with 1310 Gallery at Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts and 18 Rabbit Gallery as an occasion to support the production and presentation of contemporary art in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.

All South Florida artists are invited to submit artworks to a one-day open-call visual art exhibition at Girls’ Club, at 117 NE 2nd Street, held Saturday, October 16th, 2010, from 5pm to 8pm. All works are accepted and presented to the public for the one day exhibition event. A panel of prominent South Florida arts professionals will informally judge the works in the exhibition on their merits and the public is invited to give personal feedback to the artists via a system of handwritten messages. A fun way to connect artists and art enthusiasts, perhaps inspiring individuals to start their own art collections!

Simultaneously, neighboring artist spaces and galleries will join in and host their own exhibition openings and events. Look for the round purple Fallout signs designating each location.

18 Rabbit Gallery, a contemporary art exhibition space located in the F.A.T. Village Arts District, will open “Altered States”, an exhibition about mind/body relationships, their first in their new space located at 17 NW 5th Street.
1310 Gallery, located in the Sailboat Bend Artists Lofts at 1310 SW 2nd Court, presents “The Myth of Power,” a group exhibit showcasing innovative works by regional artists, juried by artist Lisa Rockford.
The Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale at 1 E Las Olas Blvd. will be open that evening from 5pm-8pm with free admission.
A free bus will operate from 5pm to 9pm to transport attendees from one event space to the next. Free parking is available at: NW 1st Ave between NE 5th & NE 6th Streets in F.A.T. Village and NE 2nd Avenue across from Girls’ Club.

Art Fallout will be an annual event, and the organizers expect that it will ignite enthusiasm and bring together local artists and exhibition spaces so that they may develop new audiences for their works. Art aficionados will be pleased to discover the hotbed of creativity that is developing in Fort Lauderdale.

We live in a time of progress and rapid change. Consequently, we prefer to define ourselves in terms of where we are going, not where we come from. We have grown disconnected with our ancestors because we believe that they lived in times so different from our own that they are incapable of shedding light on our current experiences. Many of us have grown so indifferent with the past that we have convinced ourselves that history does not matter.

But history does matter. It has been said that he who controls the past controls the future. Our view of history shapes the way we view the present, and therefore it dictates what answers we offer for existing problems. This understanding of the connection between the past, present and future can be found by the Akan people of West Africa in concept they called Sankofa. It literally expresses that, “it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot.” Sankofa teaches us that we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward.

History can be used to propagate hatred and re-cultivate old racial, religious and ethnic tensions; or it can be used to unify people. It was knowledge of this in some older African societies, which encouraged them to put the repository of history into the hands of responsible, trained individuals called griots. The griots is a chronicler of history and the guardian of the knowledge of his people’s ancestry, or genealogy.

The Sankofa Experience will occur at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center from June to July 2010. The Sankofa Project is a fusion of the concept of Sankofa and the work of the griots, in this case, the artist Nzingah is the mediator. In the journey to retrieve that which was forgotten Nzingah has created a series entitled, “Beyond Black: The Proverb Series.” It consists of portraits of people of African descent that the artist connected to specific African Proverbs. An exhibition of the series will occur from June 7 to July 30, 2010 at the gallery at AARLC.

On July 10, 2010, there will be an opening reception during which Nzingah will have a spoken word performance entitled, “Sankofa’s Child” in the library’s auditorium. “Sankofa’s Child,” is a personal and communal journey through the Sankofa process. In addition to the exhibit, there will be a workshop series during the month of July in Adinkra stamping, a printing process of the Ashanti people of Ghana. Participants will create their own personalized Adinkra cloth, in addition to learning some Adinkra symbols that represent popular proverbs and maxims.

Space, Art and Love. What are they and are they connected? Niki Lopez is mounting a visual art exhibition and will attempted to explore the inter-connective relationship of the three.
The exhibition will showcase paintings, photographs and prints that embrace the elements of the theme “Space, Art, Love.” Many of Lopez’s work has ‘extra-terrestrial connotations as it is a subject she seeks understanding about, “It is arrogant for us to believe that out of all the universes and planets of those universes, that man on earth is the only intelligent being”. Each of her pieces explores different theories, tells a story or asks a question, which amongst other things, compel us to explore outside of the ‘box’.
Other artists in this exhibition include Luzalma Gonzalez, Kazilla, Klodi Lemoine, Tabatha Mudra, David I. Muir, Laura Peterson, Michael A. Clark, and Sharon Swift- who will be displaying photography in collaboration with the Broward Center of Performing Arts’ ‘Flamenco in the Sun’.
Hosting the opening night will be poet Renda Writer of WeMerge Talent Magazine and will include performances by Spoken Word poet Jashua Sa-Ra and the cast of Drag It Out. After party music will be spun by DJ One Star.
The month long event will feature different themes each Saturday between July 24 and August 14. These will include fund-raisers, workshops, Erik Proulx’s movie “Lemonade” and guest speaker Jim Shermer of the Broward Cultural Division (check website for more).
Opening night’s refreshments provided by Be Organic and ‘café con leche’ by Underground Coffeehaus.
The exhibition will raise funds for The Cooperative Feeding Program,
while food items will be collected on behalf of the RENMEN Foundation
which supports a Haitian children’s orphanage.

It’s Not a Doll, It’s an Action Figure will feature artwork and photography inspired by, or using, action figures. Not to be confused with dolls, the subjects of Bear and Bird Gallery’s latest exhibit are on display doing what they do best: saving, destroying and living lives of high adventure.
Guest curator A. Pants assembled a talented and diverse group of 14 international artists to participate in the show. Pants said, “Each artist was asked to recreate the memory of their favorite action figure and/or explore the fine line between an action figure and a doll.”
Bear and Bird owner/chief curator Amanda Magnetta-Ottati passed the curatorial torch for this special engagement to artist A. Pants after seeing the concept develop on Pants’ popular blog site, www.nerdsquared.com. The theme is especially appropriate for Bear and Bird Gallery, which sits atop Tate’s Comics, a popular shopping destination for toys, collectables, dolls, and action figures. The timing of the show was well planned, as Magnetta-Ottati delivered her own “doll” — a baby girl — on May 20, 2010.

So who is this “Terribly Odd?” Is it a figment of the imagination, a persona, or perhaps that ounce of morbidness that lurks within us?
Terribly Odd, better known as Mike, was born and raised in Miami and spent the majority of his adolescence attempting to evade the excitement of delinquency. In doing so, he experienced the pop culture society that blankets our country and now the world. Intrigued by the many atypical chances popular culture had to offer, in Odd’s late teens, he ventured on to Savannah for a brief stint at the Savannah College of Art and Design. There, Odd soon realized that he would rather produce “miserable” works and kissed-off the thought of ever creating “fine” art.
Art to Odd is a reaction, a language, and his work ranges from the surreal to the decaying scenes of sheer horror spanning film, music, and the unconventional beauty of pop culture; always looking to tread the line between innocence and indecency.
Odd’s work speaks for itself, Odd went from just “someone” who grew up with sketchbooks full of little bastard creations, to “Terribly Odd,” now having a loyal audience to share his vision with. Since then it has been a mad rush of sketches, paintings, and digital works and the ability to share his work through a variety of mediums, being a part of a number of shows as well as solo exhibitions. Definitely coming a long way, Odd’s attempt to take over the world is still in progress.. There is a lot more in store for the “Odd World.”

Thursday, April 29, 2010 6:30 PM
Jerry’s Artarama
242 S. Federal Highway
Deerfield Beach, FL 33441

A few years ago, SFAA had an open house and a quick, on the spot mini art show with about 30 of our visual artist meetup members. It was a great time, so we’ve decided to do it again this month. If you’ve never been to Jerry’s Artarama in Deerfield, this is a perfect reason to take a trip. Reco, the manager of the store will be keeping the doors open for our group a little later than usual, and offering an additional 20% off your entire purchase that night. Refreshments will be served, and I’ve also asked that they invite other members of the local community to attend and meet the artists.

We will be there between 6:30 and 8:30pm.

And please, if you have a small piece of your artwork that you’d like to show, I highly encourage you to bring it with you, and also a portable easel if you have one to display your work on. It’s a great opportunity to show others the quality and the type of work that you do.

If you need a little more incentive to come by, Jerry’s has been known to give way some great supplies during free raffles on the night of the event! We will be in the front of the store right as you walk in.

This exhibit will include masks and other art works by artists responding to symbolic and concrete uses of masks related to carnival, ceremonial, spiritual, and other societal appearances of “masking”. The exhibition will examine the mask as a wearable work of art, as a means of hiding or changing the identity of a person, as a protective device, literal and metaphoric meanings of”masking” in contemporary culture.

Historically, mask-makers have shown great resourcefulness in selecting and combining a wide array of materials. Artists in this exhibition also incorporate familiar and unexpected materials in their works.

Curator & Founder of the Urban Individualists has an open call to artists of all 2D and 3D mediums. Title and Theme of show is Masquerade, show will take place in May 2010 at The Gallery 101 in Fort Lauderdale.

“Masquerade” Artworks will showcase masks depicting an artistic rendition of the “Carnival, Ceremonial, Spiritual and Traditional including masks people put on each day as a disguise or a false outward show. The exhibit is sure to be an original and uniquely vibrant and colorful show. It will represent masks of many sorts and some will be of the “unexpected an expected” “traditional and non-traditional”.

A Mask is a form of disguise. It is an object that is frequently worn over or in front of the face to hide the identity of a person and by its own features to establish another being. This essential characteristic of hiding and revealing personalities or moods is common to all masks. As cultural objects they have been used throughout the world in all periods since the Stone Age and have been as varied in appearance as in their use and symbolism.

The opening reception will be a “masked gathering” a “masquerade ball” multimedia art reception.

Gallery 101 presents: “Entwine” A Solo show by painter Rick Esposito
“…it all starts with one dot. Then, a build up of many, many more…”
Rick Esposito’s images sing, pop, and bubble as a result of clear, vivid colors he so readily utilizes and the work communicates sheer exuberance through his dynamic color usage.
While looking to the past for inspiration, Rick uses a fresh tonality and an exquisitely clean rendering to catapult his work into 2010.

Jon Kitner is a practicing painter and a retired Professor of Art from Miami Dade College’s North Campus, where he taught studio art for thirty seven years. He is has a Master’s degree in Fine Art, Painting from Kent State University in 1970. During his career at Miami Dade College, Jon has won numerous awards and recognition, including the Arthur Hertz Endowed Teaching Chair for Arts and Humanities in 1994 and the Simon Bolivar Endowed Teaching Chair in 2000. He was recognized by the White House as a United States Distinguished Teacher in 1986. In 1988, he was awarded a Fulbright Teaching Exchange to Wakefield College in England for one year. In 2000, Jon was awarded the Innovator of the Year award from the college at large.

Jon has exhibited his artwork since the 1970s. His first one person show in South Florida was at the Meeting Point Art Center in Coral Gables in 1979. Over the next fifteen years, he has participated in group exhibitions and one person shows at the Greene Gallery, Gallerie 99 and the Barbara Black Gallery. His work has also been exhibited at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale’s Hortt Exhibition, for three years in the 1980s, including 1984 when he won an Award of Merit in Painting. Jon’s work is in private collections in Florida and Ohio.

Jon’s new series of “montages” are acrylic on canvas paintings that feature the juxtaposition of various images within the same painting. The images are incorporated with a desire to encourage the viewer to respond to the work on more than one level. For example, in the painting entitled, “Memorial”, the large, panoramic scene is of a South Florida warehouse next to a lake. But, cut into the middle of this scene are two smaller images, one of a mountain view from Colorado, near St. Mary’s Glacier and a view into a cabinet from the Vatican Museum in Rome. The inspiration for this painting came from a sketching trip to St. Mary’s Glacier where Jon learned that a young boy had perished the night before from exposure. While all of Jon’s images do not necessarily translate into a story, they are intended to spur in the viewer a variety of associative feelings. Currently, Jon is working on a series of paintings all based on familiar locations throughout South Florida.
