June 11 – July 10, 2010

Join us for the opening reception of “Vintage”, an exhibition created by members of Hoboken’s Hob’art cooperative gallery, this Friday June 11 from 7-9pm.

From Hob’art:

“The exhibition’s theme, “Vintage,” refers to something of high quality from the past or as a characteristic of the best of a person’s work. This theme is explored by the artists using many different mediums, including photography, painting, printmaking, collage, montage, and assemblage.

The exhibiting artists include Liz Cohen, who places her well loved old doll within contemporary venues; Ann Kinney, a creator of iconic imagery to link the past to her present; and Louise Gale, who created an assemblage to interpret the vintner’s use of the theme. Roslyn Rose extracted portraits from vintage photographs to place them within her Montages, while Laurel Brooks set the stage for a vintage style photograph. Joe Gilmore’s paintings on glass honor his ancestors, including Malinda Gilmore, who was born a slave. The exhibition also includes art by Don Sichler, Stanley Lindwasser, Erik Attia, Laura Renee, Donna Doherty, Janet Kolstein, Andrea Milo, Leslie Rubman, Ibou NDoye, Constance Ftera, Myrna E. Micheli, Maria Castillo, and Willie Baez.

The Hob’art cooperative gallery exists to provide a showcase for fine art and in doing so supports local artists in their efforts to make their voices heard. Established almost nine years ago, the 50 members live in many communities in Northern New Jersey and New York City.”

March 20 – May 1, 2010

For most people, technology is indispensible. We rely on it to plan our days, to communicate, to work and to relax—most of us would probably rather be physically incapacitated than face a normal day without it. When we wake up and reach first thing for a Blackberry or iPhone, when we run to check for new email or Facebook messages, we have merged our flesh lives with our digital ones. For some generations the “high-tech” has virtually become a holy grail, a source of inspiration, and a divine mystery. “SPLICE” examines how certain technologies have become far more than just tools that make our lives easier, but modern icons worshipped to the point of deification.

“SPLICE”, curated by Irene Borngraeber, features installation, sculpture, performance, and two-dimensional works by Leslie Alfin, Stephen Chopek, Hiroshi Kumagai, Pat Lay, and Deborah Pohl. Through the appropriation of classical and mythological iconography each artist melds, splices, and blends religion with technology—creating hybridized icons ranging from the uneasy to the exuberant.

Join us for our opening Saturday, March 20, 5-9pm.
