Twigs and rosebuds. Swirling patterns and drips of color. Shapes remiscent of wishbones, knots and ropes—what do these suggest about the true nature of things? That is the question artist Karen Sardisco poses in her work. Using mixed media such as acrylics paints, conte crayon, and pastels, Karen uses simple forms from nature to "convey the energies that hum beneath the day-to-day surface of things."
Karen, a working artist and professor of fine arts at Monroe Community College, says that art is a visual conversation that helps her connect with issues that are important to her. "I believe that as a vehicle for transformation, art is revelatory," she says. "I like to force forms together that may not seem to have much of a connection. I want my audience to try to piece together what the relationships may be."
Karen received a B.S. in Art Education from SUNY College at Buffalo, and an MFA in Painting from Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Art and Design. She is a practicing artist whose recent exhibitions include the 51st Chautauqua National Exhibition, and the First Rochester Biennial at the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY. Her work is included in many public and private collections.

She recently cofounded an artist-run weather station on a studio building rooftop and presented her Queens neighborhood as a gigantic sundial, with a lone skyscraper as the shadow-casting spire.

Artist Calls for Artwalk 2 (Available NOW!)
Head over to Rochester Art Walk for more details. But click here for the current calls, and to receive a notice for when new calls are released.
Interactive website on the narrative arts and the stories they tell (MAG)
Via MAG:
Every work of art has a story to tell, either through image and symbol, or through custom and ritual. These stories can explain the unexplainable, teach a life lesson, or celebrate our common human experiences.
Picturing the Story uses works of art as a springboard for an interdisciplinary approach to culture, environment, language, and learning. It was developed for classroom use, using selected narrative works of world art from the permanent collection of the Memorial Art Gallery.

Heidi Kumao lecture and exhibition at VSW
Via VSW:
Current VSW Artist-in-Residence, Heidi Kumao, will be speaking about her most recent work on Wednesday, October 28 at 6PM in the Visual Studies Workshop Media Center.
“Timed Release,” an exhibition of Heidi’s work will open next Friday, November 6 at VSW.
Heidi Kumao is a 2009 Guggenheim fellow and an artist resident of Visual Studies Workshop this year. She is an interdisciplinary artist who creates video and machine art to explore ordinary social interactions and their psychological undercurrents. Emerging from the intersection of sculpture, theater and engineering, her “performative technologies” generate artistic spectacle in order to visualize the unseen: psychological states, emotions, compulsions, thinking patterns, and dreams. These works are designed to re-enact an event, perform a task for the viewer, or mediate her roles as a woman. Through the creation of kinetic and electronic sculpture, interactive installations and digital animations, she seeks to heighten awareness of our everyday experiences such as childhood play, family dynamics, television news, and even the wearing of clothes.

IN THE ARTIST'S STUDIO: AN EVENING WITH GREGORY CREWDSON

IN THE ARTIST'S STUDIO: AN EVENING WITH GREGORY CREWDSON
Friday, November 20, 2009
7 pm, Albright-Knox Art Gallery Auditorium, FREE
| Beneath the unsettling stillness of Gregory Crewdson's dreamlike photographs reverberates the suggestion of mysterious and unimaginable narratives. Using sets of epic proportions and large-scale film crews that translate into pristine single-frame photographs, Crewdson (American, born 1962) conflates the worlds of cinematography and still photography, as well as the realms of fact and fiction, into an expanded field of production. Alluding to the artist's interest in Freud, the unconscious, and interior psychological landscape, the images themselves feature strange and inexplicable moments in natural, suburban, or domestic landscapes, often illuminated by light emanating from unseen sources or bathing its inhabitants in an eerie glow. Such subterranean narratives invoke suspension of time and disbelief, and cast the viewer in perpetual curiosity regarding the otherworldly happenings at hand. Crewdson's Untitled (boy with hand in drain), 2001-02, from the "Twilight" series, is part of the Permanent Collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and was featured in the recent exhibition Bad Habits. Begun in 1998 and completed in 2002, this series examines the luminescent moment at twilight - "the magic hour" - where the transformation from day into night generates an unearthly setting privy to legend and strange happenings. At 7 pm on Friday, November 20, join us for a free event in the Gallery's auditorium featuring a conversation between the artist and Albright-Knox Curator Heather Pesanti. Gusto at the Gallery features free exhibition admission, art activities, tours, and live music from 3 to 10 pm on Fridays. For a full schedule of events, please visit www.albrightknox.org. |

A Message From High Falls Art Gallery
Rochester Artists,
Thinking about submission to the "Upside Down" exhibit? There is an entry form below [not available here--ed.] (and similar form attached in easy to read table format.)
Drop off is next Wednesday through Sunday, October 14-18. I am now closed again Monday and Tuesday, so PLEASE wait until Wednesday to come down. The reception is tentatively scheduled for December 6 to avoid the Thanksgiving holiday and the RMSC Holiday Bazaar.
If you have a representational work you'd like to exhibit but NOT show upside down, sideways is acceptable.
Also acceptable is work containing an upside down element (like reflections, acrobats or tumblers, Ferris wheels, etc.) This is the exhibit which will be on during the holiday buying period so I urge you to reflect on the phrase "PRICED TO SELL." Visitation will be UP UP UP.
If you are currently exhibiting in LOUD BRIGHT BOLD, pick up will be 11/8 and 11/9 a Saturday and Sunday, when parking at High Falls is EASY!
Happy Columbus Day!
Best Regards,
Sally
