Marcelino Stuhmer Lecture

2011-04-05T10:56:00.003-04:00

Marcelino Stuhmer
In Marcelino Stuhmer's recent studio work, he focuses on the nexus point where the function and structure of narrative appropriation and allegory coincide with architectural references from the history of cinema. He is fascinated with the way that history is interpreted through painting, film, television, and news media images, and how analyzing these diverse forms as spatial and temporal representations can alter the narratives, which are ultimately read. Stuhmer has done residencies at Skowhegan, and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam where he received a two-year research fellowship. His work has been exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions at Optica Center for Contemporary Art in Montreal, Essl Museum of the Present in Vienna and group exhibitions at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, and Art in General in New York City. Solo projects include Little Triggers in the Playstation at Galerie Fons Welters in Amsterdam, Transmission of Conflict at Galerie Kusseneers in Antwerp, and The Recurring Dream at The Chicago Cultural Center. His most recent installation project Get Ready to Shoot Yourself at the Jade Art Gallery in Bergamo, Italy was organized by Sara Mazzocchi, cinema curator from GAMeC in Bergamo. He has won the Royal Prize for Painting in The Netherlands, a Mondrian International Publication and Exhibition Grant, a CAAP Grant from Chicago, a Joan Mitchell award in conjunction with an artist residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, as well as two Faculty Development Awards and a Dean's Faculty Award for Research, both at UW-Milwaukee.

Patterns of Consumption

April 2-15th • Atrium Gallery • Tyler School of Art • 2001 N. 13th Street

The act of consuming is a factor in each of our daily lives - from our first sip of coffee in the morning to turning off the lights at night. Patterns of Consumption is an exhibition of contemporary artworks that explore consumer culture, drawing from a visual vocabulary of craft-based materials, forms, and techniques. “Consumption” has multiple meanings here, referencing the economic exchange of merchandise, the use of fuel, and the ingestion of food and drink. Likewise, “pattern” references patterns used in forming and decorating art and objects, as well as patterns within economies. The resulting installation is a conversation between past and present.

Curator Heather Gibson, a design historian, chose contemporary artworks that resonate with the past. “Each of these artists,” notes Gibson “possesses a strong command of their chosen medium – clay, metal, and plaster bas relief. Their contemporary ideas are informed by their understanding of material, and how that material has been used historically.” The result is a richly layered commentary on how civilized society uses material goods, energy, food and drink.

Heather Gibson teaches History of Modern Craft and Design at the Tyler School of Art. She also serves as Adjunct Assistant Professor at Drexel University and Research Assistant at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Visiting Artist: Hilary Harkness
11AM B04 Auditorium

The meticulously researched, like Old Master paintings, by Hilary Harkness, are loaded with minute symbolic details. The subjects reveal Harkness’ inquisitive regard for hierarchical societies, whether a 19th century gold mining camp, a WWII garrison or battleship, or the present-day Christie’s auction house at Rockefeller Center. The societies depicted, however, share a distinctive quirk: exclusively women who are carnal, industrious, cultured, and often sadistic and unclothed populate them. Hilary Harkness was born in Detroit, Michigan, 1971. She received her B.A. in 1993 from University of California, Berkeley, California, and her MFA from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut in 1996. She lives in New York City.

Eddie Martinez expands an ever-widening visual vocabulary, one that does not translate to mere language; they are the stuff of dreams. All boldly conceived in thick clots of pigment— these hieroglyphs and barely delineated figuration teeter on the edge of decipherability. Martinez’s work was recently seen in “New York Minute” at MACRO, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome and has been included in shows at Blum & Poe, Deitch Projects, Peres Projects, Alexander & Bonin, and the Deste Foundation, among many others. Interview Magazine named Martinez one of 2009’s top fifteen young artists. He exhibits with ZieherSmith Gallery in New York, NY. Martinez was born in 1977 in Groton, Connecticut and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. To see more of Martinez' work, go to http://www.ziehersmith.com/a_martinez.html

Select works by 2nd Year MFA Students
Tyler School of Art, Temple University
Curated by Candice Madey
February 9 – April 9, 2011

Hunter College Times Square Gallery

450 West 41st Street, New York, New York
Opening reception: Friday, February 11, 6 – 9 pm

Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Master of Fine Arts program presents the exhibition Vagabondage at the 2011 College Art Association (CAA) New York Area MFA Exhibition. Curated by Candice Madey of On Stellar Rays, Vagabondage features the work of seven MFA candidates: Loo Bain, Daryl Bergman, Amber Cowan, Emily Davidson, Emily Rooney, Dan Schein, and Lindsay Wraga. Working in a variety of materials including painting, sculpture, glass, fiber, photography and video, Madey writes “works in Vagabondage embody the spirit of the vagabond. Myth and meaning is found on the periphery and only with the knowledge gained from a solitary quest…These works present a similar duality: alluding to social constructs and cultural rituals, yet simultaneously pushing against and evading such limitations.”

Vagabondage, along with the exhibitions of fellow New York area MFA programs, will be on view from February 9 through April 9, 2011 at the Hunter College Times Square Gallery at 450 West 41st Street, New York, New York. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 1 – 6 pm. An opening reception will take place on Friday, February 11, from 6 – 9 pm.

Candice Madey is currently the director and owner of On Stellar Rays, a NY-based gallery with an interest in the intersection of and disruptions between performance and other media. Formerly she was director of Mireille Mosler, Ltd. in New York, and an independent curator and art consultant. She has 12 years of experience in the art world, including positions at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Christie’s, and galleries in the Midwest and in New York. She has a Masters in Business Administration, and Bachelors degrees in Art History and French from the Ohio State University.
