Exhibits
Clay Art Center, 40 Beech St., Port Chester, is presenting Rising Stars: Annual Student Exhibition, thru Feb. 12. There will be an opening reception Sat., Jan. 20, 1-3 p.m. www.clayartcenter.org
MAPSpace, 6 N. Pearl St., 4th Fl., Port Chester is presenting Artist-in-Residence “Margaret Pinto: Carapace Pierced,” thru Jan. 20. There will be a closing reception, Sat., Jan. 20—viewing, 6-7 p.m.; live music performance, 7-9 p.m. featuring Ari Finkel, Chris Kaczmarek and Water Bug working with ambient sound, looping and experimentation with electronic instruments. It will include a portion of improvisation which will interact with the current exhibition that explores the theme of armored bodies, investigating the relationships between fear, protection, vulnerability, and violence. Visual reference is drawn from medieval armor, riot gear, cages, and fencing, as well as myriad forms of armor in the natural world such as crab shells, thorns and insect casings. This work simultaneously celebrates and interrogates the outer shell as a potent metaphor for emotional states of separation from our environment. Depictions of nets and veils are interwoven into this content. These permeable barriers present a secondary mode of containment by obscuring, concealing and trapping their subjects. Translucent, layered and complex surfaces are an invitation for viewers to look more closely, delve deeper into the spaces and objects around them and address the unconscious “veils” which obscure their own view of the world. The gallery is open by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, contact [email protected].
