A/P is organizing, Local Imprint, a non-juried exhibition for A/P members to showcase their work... 
"....Many artists allege a philosophical status for the meanings of their works. It's easy to do in artist statements, and you can't blame artists for trying. After all,good work that is also compellingly theorized by its creator remains the ne plus ultra of the more stellar exhibitions. Since contemporary modes of art criticism long ago eschewed affect in favour of ontology, and since the reports ofTheory's demise are not so much greatly exaggerated as they are a kind of desperate, wishful thinking, we will continue to see some artists' statements clogged by abstruse language and abortive argument, tacked onto work that bears few traces of the claims made for it. You will see precisely the opposite of this state of affairs in a show by visiting Portuguese artist Mariana Moranduzzo entitled "Transmutation of Being." She offers an artist's statement that I hope most viewers read after seeing (as I did) her etchings, woodcuts, and drawings on paper. The statement, read after, will most likely evince thinking congruent with your own..." – excerpt from Mariana Moranduzzo-Static Processist – exhibition essay by Mario Trono |

"...Combining artistic tradition with contemporary mythos, Wendy Tokaryk's Exempla examines spirituality in a morally ambiguous age.Inspired by Albrecht Durer's moral allegories, the collection uses color and movement to evoke a tranquil, meditative mood, coaxing the viewer into moral contemplation.Though graceful and understated, the collection shares with Durer’s work a rich symbolism; through gentle iterations and soft, natural tones, Exempla leads the viewer through a process of spiritual discovery. In the collection's multi-print pieces, the viewer sees the same theme repeated in several forms.The shapes are organic, reminiscent of sunbursts, plant cells, organs rendered in gentle strokes.The colors are soft yet ripe; warm, yolky yellows, blush pinks and hushed, minty greens create a spring-like palette, suggesting an awakening or rebirth - something on the cusp of discovery... – excerpt from Exempla – exhibition essay by Nicole Boyce |
