Description: QUINT: THREE DECADES OF CONTEMPORARY ART at the CALIFORNIA CENTER FOR ARTS, ESCONDIDO MUSEUM August 15 December 31, 2009 Special preview Saturday, August 15th from 6 to 9PM Cocktails, hors d oeuvres, entertainment & live music. $10 per person for non-member, free to Center Members. RSVP to (760) 839-4120 340 N. Escondido Blvd. Escondido, CA 92025 (760) 839-4120 www.artcenter.org The California Center for the Arts, Escondido Museum is pleased to present Quint: Three Decades of Contemporary Art. The exhibition, based on the program of one of San Diego County's most influential galleries, will open on August 15th and continue through December 31st, 2009. Works in the exhibition, the majority of which have been borrowed from Southern California museums and private collections, present an extraordinary survey of the range of regional, national, and international artists supported and promoted by Quint Gallery over nearly thirty years. Since opening his first gallery in La Jolla in 1981, Mark Quint adopted a unique, almost nomadic approach to the business of contemporary art. Rather than establishing itself in a permanent location and then expanding over time, Quint Gallery would more often adapt its spaces and program according to the needs of the artists it was interested in presenting. From formal gallery and raw open spaces in downtown San Diego, to large industrial workspaces for artists near Miramar Naval Air Base, to unexpected (and often elegant) spaces secluded in back alleys in Hillcrest or La Jolla, Quint Gallery has maintained the flexibility to represent artists employing a wide variety of practices, mediums, and formats. Additionally, Quint Gallery was one of the first commercial venues in the United States to develop a residency program through which, artists were invited to make new work in the course of extended visits to the San Diego region. Through the residencies, Quint Gallery worked with an outstanding group of international artists--often presenting exhibitions of now- renowned artists for the first time in the US or on the West Coast. Quint's interest in bringing international talent to local audiences complimented his deep commitment to artists based in the region. Of the more than 45 artists represented in Quint: Three Decades of Contemporary Art, the largest contingency is formed of artists who have been key to the sustained development of the San Diego art scene. Among others, these include Wick Alexander, Adam Belt, Robin Bright, Kenneth Capps, Stephen P. Curry, Roman de Salvo, Tom Driscoll, Manny Farber, Raul Guerrero, Jay Johnson,Jean Lowe, Kim MacConnel, Richard Allen Morris, Patricia Patterson, Marcos Ramirez ERRE, Allison Renshaw, Ellen Salk, Italo Scanga, and Ernest Silva. Also included in the exhibition is work by artists whose early careers were formed in San Diego or Southern California, including Robert Ginder, Byron Kim, Gary Lang, Roy McMakin, Matthew Offenbacher and Derek Stroup. Bryon Kim grew up in La Jolla and has taken elements of surf culture with him to Brooklyn where he currently lives and works. Roy McMakin was an art student at UCSD in the late 1970s and early 1980s and took with him the notion of experimental art-making practices that were passed down to him by professors such as Manny Farber, Allan Kaprow and Eleanor Antin. Nationally and internationally recognized artists with whom Quint Gallery has worked include Mel Bochner, Elinor Carucci, Tara Donovan, R. Luke duBois, Lee Materazzi, Ryan McGinness, Ruth Pastine, Lincoln Schatz, Aaron T. Stephan, Birgir Andresson, Peter Dreher, Hreinn Fridfinnsson, Johannes Girardoni, Thomas Glassford, Simon Linke, Roman Opalka, Melanie Smith, Eric Snell and Jan van Munster. Complimenting the museum exhibition, Mark Quint, together with artist Jean Lowe, will be intervening in the California Center for the Arts, Escondido Museum Store with a curated exhibition of works for sale. Unique items will be available, created by some of the artists featured in the exhibition, as well as artists Brian Dick, Steve Ilott, Perry Vasquez and Jimmy Nocito of Retrofit Designs. _______________ NOTE TO MEDIA: A special media preview will be held from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and again from 11 a.m. to noon on August 5th. The event will provide excellent photo opportunities, as artist Kim MacConnel will be painting a mural on the footbridge of the Center during the preview. Mark Quint is expected to attend and Curator Olivia Luther will be available for interviews at the event, or prior to the event by arrangement. Media will also get a sneak peek at the newly redesigned Museum Store, featuring an installation of objects for purchase selected by artist Jean Lowe and Mark Quint. Please RSVP to (760) 839-4147 to sign up for either the morning or afternoon slot.

7.30 pm – 8.30 pm
The POD, Level 16
National Library Building
100 Victoria Street
So integral is the culture of beadworks to the Straits Chinese society that beadworks are apparent not just in kasut manek, the beaded slippers made and worn by Peranakan women but are also featured in bolster-end and table-covers. Reflecting intricacies and a taste for fine arts, bead weaving is an important skill of utmost importance to the Peranakan society.
Join Bebe Seet, the Peranakan doyenne of beadworks, as she shares her passion and love for beadworks and embroidery. As part of her recently launched book, Bebe Seet, owner of a Peranakan Heritage boutique shop, Rumah Bebe, will also demonstrate some beading techniques.
Due to limited seats, registration is required and can be made via http://golibrary.nlb.gov.sg and surf on to ‘SG101’.

Description: On Friday, December 4, 2009, David Ober, Chairman of Sotheby's Southeast, Peter Brady, and William S. Chewning will host a cocktail party at the Miami Art Group Gallery in the Miami Design District during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009 with a showing of works by artist William Chewning. The 1,800 square foot showroom will feature various abstract pieces, each of which were created using familiar imagery, realism and environmental elements.
Chewning's exhibition, his first since 2005, will reveal a compelling and original vocabulary through the translation of Chewning's personal life experiences. Transcending time and place, Chewning's paintings seem both traditional while at the same time, entirely modern. Taking elements from nature: the ocean, birds, mountains and flowers, Chewning combines them with elements from the real world with universal symbols from sources as diverse as ancient Egypt, Buddhism and Chinese screen painting. Blue Mountains, cart wheeling birds, anthropometric trees and heartbroken flowers flourish in a truly imaginative world that provides an engaging alternative to our own. Throughout the past two decades, William Chewning has developed unique and intrinsic pieces with a focus on regulating the intensity of the experience.
To RSVP for the December 4th cocktail please call 305.534.0081ext.14 or send your RSVP to chewning@thepattongroupinc.com. Following the Opening Night Cocktail reception, William Chewning's works will be up from December 5th, 2009 until December 29th, 2009 and can be viewed by appointment by calling 202.374.2937. |
