Gallery I:  Generations IX: The Red/Pink Show! A biennial benefit exhibition of art made by women.   The Generations series was started in 1997 as a fundraising exhibition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of A.I.R. Gallery. Since then it has continued biannually. This year, Generations IX: The Red/Pink Show! showcases over two hundred distinguished as well as emerging artists from cities such as New York, Boston, and Los Angeles, as well as countries such as Korea and Italy.      For a full press release, please CLICK HERE.

Gallery II: Linda Kuehne Suburban Landscapes: The Architecture of Nowhere   Kuehne re-interprets the landscape through a contemporary lens, exploring the sublime as it does, or doesn't exist today. She photographs mundane objects juxtaposed against the landscape, combining the literal with the suggestive and abstract. Her work frequently contains geometric shapes, stark forms, swaths of color that divorce the images from the illusory depth perspective one usually associates with photography, rendering her ideas and concerns in an almost painterly, metaphoric way.    For a full press release, please CLICK HERE.

Gallery III: Liz Biddle, Nancy Lasar and Ann Sgarlata Ephemeral Ephemeral includes paintings, mixed media and prints from three accomplished women artists - Liz Biddle, Ann Sgarlata and Nancy Lasar. While these artists' works are similar in their portrayal of the transient nature of life, the moods they create and the media they employ are vastly different. The works of these three artists have been exhibited in museums and galleries both in the U.S. and abroad.  They are also represented in prestigious public and private collections.   For a full press release, please CLICK HERE.

A.I.R. programs and exhibitions are made possible by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the NY State Council on the Arts, JP Morgan Chase through a re-grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council, as well as generous support from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation, The Bernheim Foundation, The Gifford Foundation, Elizabeth A. Sackler, The Milton and Sally Avery Foundation, and many generous individual donors.

A.I.R. Gallery October Exhibitions

A.I.R. Gallery October Exhibitions

October 3 - 27, 2013

Opening Reception:

Thursday, October 3, 2013, 6 - 9pm

Gallery I:  Luisa Sartori Time and Shadows Time and Shadows is a collection of time-sequenced images of shadows. The digital images in the exhibition are printed on prepared paper and reworked with liquid media and oil paint. The resulting images, while clearly photographic, acquire a painterly quality in the process. While pointing at the passing of time, shadows also open the way to a deeper reflection on the nature of time itself. They hold an elusive ambiguous nature, which is the very essence of transience and change. They dance around "fixed" objects and fan them out into multiple images that open up the possibility of different points of view and different narratives. It is this moving through, and interacting with different narratives, that actually offers a chance to redefine time as a personal/interior space. For a full press release, please CLICK HERE.

Gallery II: Nancy Storrow Understory   The drawings in Nancy Storrow's exhibition Understory are interior works, based on images of the exterior world. The ink drawings and larger abstract pastel drawings describe Storrow's intimate conversation with nature. These linear abstrations recall the color, texture, and light across the land. There is a sense of unresolved motion, a shimmering of forms and shapes. Storrow considers this new series of drawings to be landscape self-portraits, reflecting her interest in the incremental changes that occur over time.   For a full press release, please CLICK HERE.

Gallery III: Phyllis Ewen TERRAIN Phyllis Ewen presents sculptural drawings that explore the fast-changing phenomenon of global warming, highlighting the effects of rising waters and parched earth. Ewen builds three-dimensional topographies through layering, altering and reshaping archival paper, adding paint to create transformed land and seascapes. Each piece consists of scanned maps, charts, and digitally printed photographs. Handmade jigsaw fragments further articulate the three-dimensional surface and ripple throughout the compositions.

A.I.R. Gallery June - July Exhibitions

A.I.R. Gallery June - July Exhibitions

June 27 - July 21, 2013

Opening Reception:

Thursday, June 27, 2013, 6 - 8:30pm

 

Gallery I:  Annika Erixan Spacetime of One's Own Using literary and scientific theory, this show addresses a woman's deepest need to create and her desire for the necessary time to do so. Inspired by Virginia Woolf's famous extended essay, A Room of One's Own, and Albert Einstein's space-time theory, Erixån's exhibit creates an artist's studio inside of the gallery. Taking Woolf's list of required conditions for creativity, including: freedom, money, and a room, Erixån filters these themes through the theory of space-time. In physics, this concept removes the separation between space and time, and envisions a compact universe with all three dimensions of space and a fourth dimension of time. This theory provides for a curved room, or in this case a studio, where everything happens at once.     Fellowship Gallery: Shanti Grumbine The Glittering Point The Glittering Point refers to the phrase "glittering generalities," a mid-nineteenth century description of propaganda involving vague words or phrases used to evoke positive feelings rather than to convey information. Employing sensational imagery of war, sparkling luxury items, and political campaigns culled from The New York Times, this exhibition includes prints, paper-cuts, and drawings that explore the moment when symbols cease to direct, support, or explain logically, and instead provoke generalized sensations of the sublime.
