SUMMARY:Object Lesson: James Maurelle
DESCRIPTION:Object Lesson |  James Maurelle\, artist and lecturer at Penn | Fri. Nov. 1\, 2019 | 7 – 7:30 pm | The Center for Art in Wood Museum Collection\nFREE\nObject Lesson is a monthly First Friday speaker series that will open wide the cases of the Center’s Museum Collection through the perspectives of individuals from the worlds of art\, design\, performance\, community activism\, education\, and more\, creating fresh dialogues about the Collection and its objects. The series invites the public for an up-close and personal experience in an informal\, discursive setting that will encourage exploration of the many treasures in the Collection. \nJames Maurelle is an interdisciplinary artist\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, and sound art are his analog and digital primes\, His work investigates the correlation formed between labor and creativity\, at the center of this byway is the spirit of his work. Constructing objects and moving images are not unlike creating music compositions\, the accompaniment: i\,e\, tools\, and materials\, are a call and response to dexterity. The rubric to complete any composition is to know ones’ instrument(s)/tools; the creative process is based on this reciprocal understanding. Jazz is the primer which propels the work\, the tone/feel of every composition is in direct association with the culture. Every object I compose is a physical versioning of a historic recording of happening\, every tool used is an augmented scale referencing an industrial progression. The materials (wood\, metal\, plastic\, film) are the staff paper\, and every committed strike upon these materials forms a note or chord. The fluidity connecting mind\, hand\, and tools are based on the augmented triad which is the cornerstone of my work ethic. The main objective is to continue creating full-bodied compositions\, as long as the staff paper flows\, I will inscribe upon it. \nHis work has shown in solo and group exhibitions in New York\, Minneapolis-Saint Paul\, Austin\, Philadelphia\, Cincinnati\, and San Francisco. He is a recipient of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Fellowship (2015). \n  \nObject Lesson Schedule: \nDecember 6\, 2019 – Aisha Zia Khan\, Executive Director of Twelve Gates Arts \n

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:Gord Peteran: Unlocking the Identity of Things
DESCRIPTION:Gord Peteran: Unlocking the Identity of Things | March 27 – 30th\, 2019 | Presented by the University of the Arts and The Center for Art in Wood\nJoin us for a series of events\, lectures and workshops with Toronto artist Gord Peteran presented by the University of the Arts (UArts) and The Center for Art in Wood\, March 27 – 30\, 2019. \n\nWednesday\, March 27\, 2019 | 6pm\nArtists’ Challenge lecture\nUArts\, Hamilton Hall\n320 S.

Broad Street\, Philadelphia\nMember $150 Click HERE |  Non-Member $200 Click HERE\nSave on this and future workshops by becoming a member. \nPulling Chairs\nWhich objects sustain and why? \nThere is absolutely no difference between sculpture and furniture. All of the neuroses explored in contemporary sculpture are also hidden under the upholstery of furniture. This hypothesis comes from two observations; the body’s many perceived insecurities AND the neurotic need of the objects we presently call furniture. \nIn this workshop\, participants will be asked to find a wrecked or dysfunctional piece of furniture from the garbage or from home. In the course of the workshop\, each participant will “RESTORE” their object…pulling it through time toward a present pertinence. \n\nSaturday\, March 30\, 2019 | 2 – 4pm\nCommunity Gallery Talk\nThe Center for Art in Wood\n141 N. 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19106\nFREE \nUnlocked? \nFocusing on the push/pull of the previous days’ workshops\, participants and the public at large are invited to gather at The Center for Art in Wood for a closing pop-up display of the works and ideas generated in the workshops. A discussion around what we learned and the relevance of the work to the exhibition at the Center. \n\nFor more information\, please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext. 103. \n
