SUMMARY:Dorothy Gill Barnes & Dona Look: Beyond the Trees
DESCRIPTION:(This exhibition runs concurrently with the Wendy Maryuma: The wildLIFE Project exhibition.) \nThe Center presents provocative works by three artists in the Gerry Lenfest Gallery.  Wendy Maruyama: The wildLIFE Project addresses poaching and the illegal ivory trade which has all but decimated the elephant and exemplifies the artist’s shift beyond traditional studio craft and education\, to advocacy.  Elephants are memorialized in monumental form with sculpted heads ranging from 8 to 12 feet in height\, and shrine-like cabinet forms.  All create layers of sensory experience for the viewer as does the use of video\, incense and a bronze bell – set to ring throughout the day. \nWendy Maruyama: The WildLIFE Project is organized by Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and curated by Elizabeth Kozlowski. The exhibition is made possible through generous support by the Windgate Charitable Foundation. \nWildLIFE is complemented by installations from two other renowned artists who work closely with salvaged trees and bark. Dorothy Gill Barnes manipulates the limbs and bark of trees during their growth cycle. In exciting new work\, Dorothy utilizes glass and tree elements to create large scale\, suspended necklace forms. In contrast\, Dona Look weaves and sews white birch bark with silk thread into elegant\, sleek vessel forms.

For some artists\, the work they create is similar to what they normally make but at a reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio practice. Regardless of this choice\, the works exhibited are incredibly varied in material\, form\, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact. Each work is exhibited in a four-inch plexiglass wall mounted cube. SMALL FAVORS: THINK INSIDE THE BOX will be on view from March 3 – May 27\, 2017 \nConceived of in 2006 by The Clay Studio\, SMALL FAVORS: THINK INSIDE THE BOX grew out The Clay Studio’s efforts to offer accessible\, high-quality artworks that appeal to art enthusiasts of all ages: for seasoned collectors who are challenged for space it allows them to continue to collect work by artists they love. For young art collectors it provides a financially accessible entry point. \nIt is our hope that offering a juried and invitational exhibition of this kind brings to light new and established makers and broadens the audience we reach through the display of these unique works of art.

This exhibition highlights the nature of wood as a medium by investigating the boundaries of technique such as new technologies\, augmented tool(s)\, and creating work that has a digital or technological look (“tech aesthetic”) and the dialogue between designer\, engineer\, and artist. Wood\, Revisited\, is curated by Anne Carlisle\, with advisor Glenn Adamson\, who was a curator of the Center’s Wood Turning in North America Since 1930 which was held 15 years ago.That exhibition was a national touring exhibition organized with the Yale University Art Gallery and was the first show to comprehensively map directions in the field of lathe-turned wood. Wood\, Revisited is echoing that exhibition in manifold ways. At that time\, Glenn Adamson was a Yale graduate student. Anne Carlisle\, like Glenn is a graduate student and is working on her a MA at the Bard Graduate Center. \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS AND STUDIOS: Ahmed ElHusseiny\, AE Superlab; A.

SUMMARY:CRISS CROSS: Robyn Horn / Brian Dickerson
DESCRIPTION:CRISS CROSS: ROBYN HORN / BRIAN DICKERSON\nOctober 27\, 2017 – January 18\, 2018\nCurated by Miriam Seidel\nVisit online gallery here. The Center for Art in Wood located at 141 N 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19106 is pleased to present CRISS CROSS: Robyn Horn / Brian Dickerson curated by Miriam Seidel. Join us October 27th\, in the Gerry Lenfest Gallery for an exhibition that expands our understanding of wood as an art medium. \nTwo artists working in different ways—Robyn Horn\, with strongly sculptural pieces incorporating the natural heft and gestures of wood\, and Brian Dickerson\, whose constructed paintings build up paint on joined wood surfaces—enter an artistic conversation in this exhibition. Horn’s explorations of painting and Dickerson’s move toward full sculptural forms mirror and illuminate each other’s practice\, stimulating how we look at the possibilities of wood informed by volume and color. \nThe Center for Art in Wood\, known for its new approaches to wood as a material for art\, is the perfect venue for an exhibition that juxtaposes the works of Horn and Dickerson and provokes fresh dialogue relating to the intersections of sculpture and painting\, craft and fine art\, painted versus natural surfaces\, illusionary depth versus actual depth. \nCRISS CROSS: ROBYN HORN / BRIAN DICKERSON at The Center for Art in Wood is sponsored by the Collectors of Wood Art and is part of CraftNOW Philadelphia\, which unites the leading institutions and artists of Philadelphia’s craft community in a celebration of the city’s rich legacy of craft\, its internationally-recognized contemporary craft scene\, and its important role as an incubator for arts based in wood\, clay\, fiber\, metal and glass. \nPictured: Robyn Horn\, US\, Throwing Shadows\, 2010\, Spalted maple\, acrylics\, charcoal\, 27 ½” x 23” x4 ½”\, Photo by artist; Brian Dickerson\, US\, Autumn’s End I\, 2010\, Oil\, wax and mixed media on wood\, 31” x 21” x5”\, Photo by Simone Associates \nRelated events\nFirst Fridays | Nov 3 & Dec 1\, 2017 & Jan 5\, 2018 | 5–8 PM at the Center |\nGallery talk and reception with artist Brian Dickerson and curator Miriam Seidel\nat the Dec 1 event.

SUMMARY:Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life\nCurated by Glenn Adamson\nNovember 2\, 2018 – January 19\, 2019\nVisit the online gallery here. \nThe Center for Art in Wood is pleased to present the work of renowned wood artist Merryll Saylan in an exhibition celebrating the timeline of her career. When she began turning in the 1970s\, Saylan was one of few women in the craft field. While her contemporaries gravitated toward furniture-making and the use of exotic woods\, Saylan—who came from a background in modern and contemporary design—focused on surface\, using wood as a blank canvas for compositions in color and texture. Her experiments with stains\, pigments\, texture\, and auto body finishes represented a new approach in the field\, with connections to abstract painting. \nGuest Curator Glenn Adamson writes that Saylan’s work draws “sometimes humorously\, sometimes poignantly—from the world of everyday things….her objects dwell right in that interesting space between unremarkable normalcy and aesthetic transcendence\, which we all inhabit all the time.” \n \nEVENTS\nCraftNOW Symposium | Nov 2 | 11 AM – 7 PM | University of the Arts Gershman Hall\, 401 S. Broad St. Free and open to the public. Lecture by Merryll Saylan and Glenn Adamson at 1 PM \nFirst Fridays | Nov 2\, Dec 9\, Jan 4 | 5 – 8 PM. Opening reception on Nov 2 | 6 – 8 PM \nGallery talk with Merryll Saylan and Artistic Director Jennifer-Navva Milliken | Nov 3 | 2 – 4 PM \nWorkshop with Alan Adler\, An Introduction to Color on Wood | Sat\, Dec 1 | 2 – 4:30 PM at the Center\n*Registration opening soon. \nWorkshop with Merryll Saylan\, Woodturning and Surface Treatment | Jan 17 & 18 | 10 AM – 4 PM each day | Dovetail Wood Arts at MaKen North\, 3525 I Street\, Philadelphia\n*Registration opening soon. \nClosing event and gallery talk with viewing of finished pieces from the workshop | Sat\, Jan 19 | 2 – 4 PM at the Center \n  \nTo RSVP for the workshops and for more information please contact Katie Sorenson\, at 215-923-8000 or katie@museumforartinwood.org. Interested in bringing a school group? Please contact Lori Reece at lori@museumforartinwood.org \n  \nThe exhibition program at the Center is generously supported by the Cambium Giving Society of The Center for Art in Wood\, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, Philadelphia Cultural Fund\, and Windgate Charitable Foundation. Corporate support is provided by Boomerang\, Inc.\, Penn State Industries\, Signarama Center City\, and Sun-lite Corporation. \nPictured: Merryll Saylan\, Tea Set\, 1997 ITE.

SUMMARY:2018 Bob Stocksdale Award: Ben Strear
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Ben Strear | Sun\, April 14\, 2019 | 2 – 4 pm | Lecture and reception at Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, New Castle County\, DE\nRegistration is required to attend.\nTo RSVP click HERE. \nPlease join us as we commemorate the 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award with a lecture and reception at the Rotunda of the renowned Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library. The 2018 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Ben Strear of Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nSupported by an anonymous donor and now in its third year\, the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award presents a grant of $1\,000 to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work\, like Stocksdale’s\, unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for materials. Recognizing the 2018 Stocksdale Award will be Trent Rhodes\, a Lois F. McNeil Fellow and recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in American Culture\, with a lecture on Strear and Stocksdale (1913–2003)\, a renowned master woodturner. Rhodes will discuss Strear’s work in context of the values reflected in Stocksdale’s legacy\, among them quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, and artistic innovation. \nStrear creates sculpted wooden vessels that serve as canvasses for his meticulously hand-carved\, rhythmic patterns\, many of which are inspired by ancient structures and artifacts. His work is held by prominent private collections\, and he is the recipient of a number of awards\, including The Smithsonian Craft Show and the Cheongju International Craft Competition in South Korea. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, 2018\, bass wood\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nImage captions\, left to right: Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, bass wood\, 8 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ x 22″; Stele With Smoke and Flame Pattern\, bass wood\, milk paint\, lacquer\, 8 1/8″ x 17 3/4″ x 20 1/2; Vase with Serpentine Pattern\, bass wood\, 4″ diam. x 8 1/2″\nAbove left: Ben Strear\, Cylindrical Seal\, 2017\, bass wood\, turned and carved with non-repeating pattern and striated; milk paint\, wax\, Diam. 5.5 in. x 14.5 in.\nBen Strear\nOriginally from Colorado\, Ben Strear attended the Rhode Island School of Design where he received a BFA in Furniture Design. After graduating in 2006\, he was awarded the Robyn and John Horn Woodturning Fellowship at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. In 2007 Ben moved to New York City where he found success both fabricating and managing the production of projects for high profile architects and artists. It was also during this time that Ben defined a formal language for his own sculptural woodwork. In 2016 Ben began to focus on creating sculptures full time. Ben and his family currently reside in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nARTIST’S STATEMENT\nMy process and materials are simple: I sculpt and carve wood. While wood by itself is very beautiful\, it’s transformative qualities are what I enjoy the most. I utilize both shallow relief and chip carving to achieve the woven\, repetitive patterns that adorn my work. I rely on monochromatic color schemes to highlight the patterning\, rather than the color of the material itself. On some of my work\, I further graphic depth by incising or burning a secondary pattern over a sculpture’s topographic surface. \nWhile the foundation for my art is largely technically driven\, I tend to look towards antiquities and fossils for added inspiration. I search for objects that possess finite detail expertly transposed over beautiful forms\, either through natural means or by human hands. When pattern and form are combined in the right way\, I end up with sculptures that have an air of mystery and impossibility. I wish to instill my work with an inherent sense of history\, challenging the viewer to determine if my work was made as a ceremonial gift for an ancient ruler\, or perhaps petrified fruits yielded by an ancient\, primordial garden. \nTo learn more about Ben Strear click HERE. \nImage caption: Ben Strear\, Eroded Cylindrical Seal\, bass wood\, milk paint\, laquer\, 5″ x 15″.\n\nTrent Rhodes\nTrent Rhodes is a Grants Associate at the Brandywine River Museum of Art and a recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in Material Culture\, where he completed his thesis on Southern antique collectors and dealers. During his time at Winterthur\, Trent served as a visiting fellow at the Center for Art in Wood\, where he and a classmate worked with the director to begin reinstalling the permanent collection. Prior to graduate school\, he worked at the Minnesota Historical Society as a Research Assistant for an exhibition on suburbia. Trent has held internships at the American Craft Council and the Goldstein Museum of Design. He graduated from Carleton College in Northfield\, Minnesota\, with a Bachelor’s degree in Art History. \n\nBob Stocksdale\n\nImage: Paul J.

SUMMARY:Artist Lecture: Humaira Abid
DESCRIPTION:Humaira Abid\, The Stains are Forever\, 2016. Photo: Adeel Ahmed.\nArtist Lecture: Humaira Abid | Sponsored by the University of the Arts and the Center for Art in Wood | Thurs\, April 16\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 5 pm EDT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the University of the Arts and the Center for a virtual Artist Lecture via ZOOM with Humaira Abid. Artist Humaira Abid’s life and passion is devoted to leveraging her artistic language to expose taboos and their harmful effects on society. In the exhibition Searching for Home\, on view at the Center for Art in Wood’s website\, Abid transports visitors into a concurrent reality\, in which tens of millions of people worldwide have fled their homes—a troubling narrative that the artist depicts through installations of carvings and paintings. Abid will discuss her work and how contemporary artists can engage with tradition while also subverting it to address societal problems\, taboos\, stereotyping\, and oppression. To attend virtually\, follow the link above. If you have questions please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org \n\n  \n\nPhoto of Humaira Abid by Amber Hammad \nHumaira Abid’s carved wood sculpture and paintings—known for their exquisite detail—depict human relationships\, societal repression\, and the consequences of keeping basic truths from being discussed and shared. The beauty and seductive virtuosity of her work offset her political\, ironic\, provocative\, and even scandalous objects and installations. \nHumaira Abid was born and raised in Lahore\, Pakistan. She immigrated to the United States in 2008 and now lives and works in Seattle\, WA. \nAbid received her BFA in sculpture and miniature painting from the National College of Arts\, Lahore\, in 2000. Her works have been exhibited in museums and galleries and documented in publications around the world and reviewed by local\, national\, and international news media. Abid is the recipient of numerous honors\, most recently the 2019 Artist Trust Arts Innovator Award. \nHer work has been published in books and other print media\, and she has been the recipient of prestigious awards and grants. She has lectured widely and participated in residencies and symposia around the world. Two documentary features focused on Abid and her work\, produced by the KCTS9 branch of PBS and Seattle Channel\, were both nominated for Northwest Emmy Awards. The artist is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery\, Seattle. \n
