SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Erez Nevi Pana
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Erez Nevi Pana | Fri\, June 26\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 2:00 pm EDT\nRSVP \nErez Nevi Pana takes an investigative and human-centered approach to both raw and discarded materials\, excavating their properties and exposing and extracting the hidden\, often toxic or destructive\, byproducts of industrial manufacture. His egalitarian attitude toward materials and makers brings poetry to objects of uncanny beauty—pure collaborations between nature and culture\, otherworldly but borne of the earth. \nReclaimed wood is the underlying structure for his salt objects. Nevi Pana eschews glue\, sanding papers\, and most varnishes\, which are made from animal-based ingredients. Lathe-turned and bound\, the wooden scaffolds are subjected to some of the most unique phenomena of nature. \nIn this don’t-miss talk\, Nevi Pana will share insights into his work\, his thoughtful research into materials and processes\, and his seminal thinking in Vegan Design as a curative approach to human-caused natural devastation. \nImage above from the Bleached and Salts series.

Photo: Klaudia Rothkegel \nPortrait of Erez Nevi Pana by Klaudia Rothkegel. \nErez Nevi Pana (b. 1983) is an explorer who uses design as a significant tool to investigate phenomena through material experimentation. Nevi Pana earned his BA in design from the Holon Institute of Technology (Israel) and an MA from the Design Academy Eindhoven (The Netherlands) where his thesis focused on the recrystallization of salt. In 2015\, Nevi Pana formed La Terrasse in Eindhoven as a platform for designers\, artists\, writers\, and thinkers to work closely together\, share their thoughts on a central theme\, and realize their visions. The Design Museum Holon recently acquired two of Nevi Pana’s works\, which were developed from an organic material mixture of soil and fungi\, for their permanent collection in addition to three salt pieces from his solo exhibition at the museum. Nevi Pana practices research and design around the world as a doctoral student investigating the topic of vegan design. \n  \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDonate

Please note that this screening offers closed captioning. \nVon Rydingsvard in her Williamsburg studio on South 5th Street\, surrounded by the cedar cast of katul katul\, 2002. \nUrsula von Rydingsvard: Into Her Own is an artistic biography of one of the few women in the world working in monumental sculpture. Von Rydingvard’s work has been featured in the Venice Biennale and is held in the collections of some of the world’s great museums\, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art\, the Art Institute of Chicago\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. But she may be best-known for work in Public spaces – imposing pieces painstakingly crafted with complex surfaces. \nVon Rydingsvard and assistants preparing to work on Ene Due Rabe\, San Francisco\, 1990. \nVon Rydingsvard working on the patina of Uroda\, a monumental copper sculpture commissioned by Princeton University\, 2015. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIn this documentary\, we go behind the scenes with von Rydingsvard\, as she and her collaborators – cutters\, metalsmiths\, and others – produce new work\, including challenging commissions in copper and bronze. But the film also delves into the artist’s personal life\, and how it has shaped her work. Born in Poland during the Second World War\, she was partly raised in a displaced persons camp and came to the US as a refugee with her nine-person family. Her younger brother shares memories of being raised by their violent\, domineering father – a man whose influence von Rydingsvard continues to feel. Brought up in a blue-collar environment\, she became a teacher and then\, as a single mother\, moved to New York in the 1970s to take up her artistic practice full-time. \nIn conversations with curators\, patrons\, family\, and fellow artists\, we come to know von Rydingsvard as a driven but compassionate sculptor with a deep commitment to her art and the world around her. \nPlease also join us for the Into Her Own Panel Discussion on Thursday\, June 18\, 2020 at 6:30 with artists Ursula von Rydingsvard and Vivian Chiu and Daniel Traub\, the director of the film Ursula von Rydingsvard: Into Her Own moderated by Jennifer-Navva Milliken\, Artistic Director of the Center for Art in Wood. We’ll learn more about the monumental sculptures von Rydingsvard creates and the making of the film.

SUMMARY:Searching for Home in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Searching for Home in Philadelphia | Tues\, June 16\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 6:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a panel discussion with Searching for Home artist Humaira Abid\, Dana Gold of Nationalities Service Center\, Anne Ishii of Asian Arts Initiative\, and Hazami Sayed of Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture. We’ll discuss the contributions made by immigrants to the Philadelphia’s rich culture\, and connect to the situation faced by immigrants and refugees during COVID-19 and how the pandemic made it easy to overlook the vulnerable and unprotected.\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. \nDana Gold \nDana Gold is a Job Developer at Nationalities Service Center\, where she connects clients to jobs in the Philadelphia area to promote their economic autonomy and general self sufficiency. Specifically\, Dana helps refugee and immigrant clients research open positions\, submit applications\, prepare for interviews\, and learn professional standards in the US\, among other job readiness initiatives. Her job is focused on building partnerships with local employers in order to connect clients to great jobs in the Philadelphia region.\n\nDana is passionate about making complicated systems more accessible and transparent for all\, and this is shown through her breadth of experience teaching English both at NSC and abroad. She has also worked at college access programs in her native Oakland\, CA and in Philadelphia to help high school students navigate the college application process. She holds Bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and Spanish from Bryn Mawr College.\n  \nAnne Ishii \nAnne Ishii is the Executive Director of Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia. Her writings have appeared in multiple publications including Slate\, the Village Voice\, and Publishers Weekly. Her translation and editorial projects include the Eisner-award winning manga My Brother’s Husband by Gengoroh Tagame\, Batmanga!: the Secret History of Batman in Japan\, and Massive: Gay Japanese Manga and the Men Who Make It. She is co-founder of the publishing\, fashion\, and creative agency Massive Goods\, which represents queer and feminist artists from Japan. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHazami Sayed \nHazami Sayed\, an Arab-American\, grew up in the Arab region and came to the U.S. to pursue higher education. She founded Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture with the launch of an Arabic language and cultural camp in 2002. Her interest stemmed from a desire to develop a creative and supportive environment where her young boys could learn the Arabic language and be immersed in the richness of Arab arts and culture while navigating their place in American society. Sayed has worked in the fields of architecture and urban development in Philadelphia and New York City. Her areas of interest and research were community development and affordable urban housing in which she worked at the UNDP\, several architecture firms\, and taught a seminar at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a photographer and has exhibited her work in Philadelphia. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Stanford University and Master of Architecture from Columbia University. Sayed is a recipient of the Leeway Foundation’s Transformation Award given to Philadelphia-area women artists committed to art-making for social change. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Philadelphia Cultural Fund and Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDonate

He has lectured and demonstrated his techniques throughout North America and Europe\, as well as in Australia\, New Zealand. His work is included in the permanent collections of twenty-eight public institutions. \nSfirri is professor emeritus at Bucks County Community College in Pennsylvania where he ran the Fine Woodworking Program from 1981 to 2017. He has received two national awards: the “Distinguished Educator Award” in 2010 from the Renwick Alliance of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institutions and\, in 2012\, the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the Collectors of Wood Art. \nInch Worm Bat \nIn 1993 his son Sam\, who was six at the time\, ran into Sfirri’s shop and asked him to make him a Little League bat that had a hollow in the end of it. Sfirri was very busy with a furniture commission and tried to get out of it. Sam’s request turned into demand when he said “Dad….. you have the wood and you have a lathe……make me a bat!”   When he put it that way\, priorities seemed so clear and Mark\, of course\, obliged. It didn’t take that long and Sam went away happy. Mark thought that it might be interesting to isolate multi-axis turning details that he was experimenting with at that time and incorporate them on this common object which would serve as a blank canvas. He named this series “Rejects From the Bat Factory”.   Its intention was to capture some obvious humor\, but it was also a statement about our culture and how we sometimes prize the mistakes more than the “good ones”. Other times the opposite is true. Over the years\, he’s revisited this series with changes in species used and some of the designs. Although he’s done a wide variety of work over his career\, this seems to be his most signature work. \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDonate

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Dania Chelminsky
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Ran Erde\nArtist Talk with Dania Chelminsky | Thurs\, May 28\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 12:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a lunch break with contemporary jewelry artist Dania Chelminsky. Dania will talk about her childhood immigration to Israel from Mexico City and how this experience turned her focus to the body and the material of wood as she pursued a career in metalsmithing. \nPhoto by the artist. \nDania Chelminsky was born in Mexico City in 1961 and has lived in Israel since 1970. She studied sciences\, metalworking\, design for the performing arts; in 2018\, she received her MA in Integrated Design at the Holon Institute of Technology. From 1988 to 2000\, she designed jewelry at her own studio and shop in Tel Aviv. After that\, she moved to a studio and started to investigate conceptual directions in the creation of jewelry. \nIn her work\, she combines contrasting materials\, mixing organic with synthetic\, hard with soft\, and crafted with found objects. Intrigued by the points at which these materials intersect\, Chelminsky uses traditional metalsmithing techniques to emphasize moments of tension. Her juxtaposition of such disparate elements allows her to tell a story with each of her pieces\, inspiring a moment of thought about the way we relate to the world that surrounds us. \nHer works have been profiled in international publications such as Metalsmith\, Portfolio\, Domus\, and Lark Books. She has exhibited her work extensively throughout the world\, with multiple solo exhibitions presented at Periscope Gallery\, Tel Aviv\, as well as at Museo Lazaro Galdiano\, Madrid. She has also participated in many group exhibitions\, including the Tel Aviv Biennial\, Eretz Israel Museum\, Tel Aviv; Alliages Gallery\, SHMUCK\, Munich\, and the Alliages collection\, Museum Espace Solidor\, Cagnes-sur-Mer\, France; the Islamic Art Museum\, Jerusalem; the Benaki Museum\,  Athens\, Greece; and Benedikt Aichele Atellier\, Paris\, France. \n\nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDonate \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org

SUMMARY:Atlas Obscura: Behind the Scenes at the Center for Art in Wood

This program will focus on regional practice against a three-hundred-year history of artisanship and craft manufacture in Pennsylvania. Milliken\, who curated the Center’s Pennsylvania Made exhibition\, will talk about wooden vessels\, furniture\, saffron boxes\, and sculpture while touching upon processes of ornamental wood turning\, the commitment to the value of collaboration in Pennsylvania craft and design\, and other discussions unique to creative engagement with wood in the region. \nJennifer-Navva Milliken is the Artistic Director for The Center for Art in Wood. Prior to her arrival at the Center\, she served as an embedded staff member in international art museums\, as an independent curator\, and as the founder of a cross-disciplinary art space. Her exhibitions have been presented in museums\, art fairs\, galleries\, and unconventional spaces\, and her writings have been seen in exhibition catalogues\, anthologies\, and publications that investigate and critique the intersecting fields of art\, craft\, and design. With a global perspective\, honed through a life split between two continents\, she is driven by the extraordinary power of the arts to challenge preconceptions and bridge divides. \nThis online experience is part of Atlas Obscura’s Wonder From Home initiative. The Atlas Obscura mission has always been to inspire wonder and curiosity about the incredible world we all share. Now\, more than ever\, there’s a need to stay connected—not only to our sense of wonder\, but to each other.

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

SUMMARY:Young Artist Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Young Artist Speaker Series | Wit López | Wed\, March 4\, 2020 | 6 – 8 pm | The Center for Art in Wood\nThe Center for Art in Wood is proud to present the Young Artist Speaker Series. Each semester a young artist is asked to share their work and speak about the transition from academia to an independent artist. The third installment in the series will feature artist Wit López taking place on Wednesday\, March 4\, 2020\, from 6 – 8 pm. López will discuss their experiences developing their career\, multidisciplinary practice\, and the road that led them to work with the material of wood once again. \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood is a nonprofit arts organization. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nFor question please contact Community Engagement Manager Katie Sorenson at katie@museumforartinwood.org. \n\nWit López is a multidisciplinary maker\, performer\, cultural advocate\, and public speaker based in Philadelphia\, PA. As a performer\, Wit uses movement\, music\, costuming\, props\, and storytelling to address issues that deeply impact their communities by harnessing themes like gender identity/gender fluidity\, body image\, disability\, illness\, hairiness\, sexuality\, Blackness\, Latinidad\, and class. They are a classically trained mezzo-soprano\, flautist\, and actor\, with extensive training in West African dance\, Afro-Puerto Rican dance\, ballet\, and modern. With their practice in craft\, Wit designs installation experiences through furniture (new and upcycled)\, textiles\, and home goods that prioritize the importance of comfort\, accessibility\, audience interaction\, and warm memories for the artist and viewer. \n  \nIn 2019\, Wit was awarded an Independence Foundation Fellowship in the Arts for Visual Art for their practice in fiber art and woodworking. They are also one of 10 recipients of the Leeway Foundation Transformation Award for 2019. To support their curatorial work of organizing the QT Noir Arts Festival\, Wit has received 2018 and 2019 Leeway Foundation Art and Change grants. As part of a cohort of 16\, Wit was also part of the 7th cycle of Innovative Cultural Advocacy Fellows at CCCADI in Harlem\, NY\, in 2019.
