ART ON FIRE! SEPTEMBER ART SPARKS from LIZ: A PANOPLY!
Written on September 18, 2009.
-- In case you're interested, and I know you are: AREO PROSE GROUP will meet on OCTOBER 15, 2:30 pm,at AREOPAGITCA BOOK STORE. (Third Thursday) -- LIZ, that's me, plans to discuss literature about Florence Harding and her husband, President Warren G. Harding of Marion, Ohio. -- YOU ARE INVITED. Our sessions always include time for conversation and the sharing of work. Rebecca Rutledge, AREO proprietor, kindly makes tea. coffee, and cookies, available.
ART DANCES; DANCE WITH ART: And, be sure to dance around the art fires burning in the Columbus area! -- which includes Worthington, Upper Arlington, Grandview, and adjacent areas.
TO October 17 at SCHUMACHER GALLERY: LEE & GRANT. This exhibition features selections from the Civil War Collection of the Motts Military Museum, Groveport, Ohio, and was organized by the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, Virginia. It shows at Capital University Fourth Floor Library, Monday--Saturday, 1 to 5 pm. Worthy of at least an hour.
THE OHIO CRAFT MUSEUM, 1665 West Fifth Avenue, presents CONVERSATIONS IN FABRIC as curated by Linda Fowler and Tracy Rieger. The post card image, by Susan She, should tweak everyone's curiosity!
FROM THE MARVELOUS KENY GALLERY TO SCHUMACHER: The One the only ALICE SCHILLE: THE EARLY YEARS 1902-1914. Without ALICE SCHILLE -- traveler, recorder of journeys, teacher, painter extraordinary, -- the art lights in Columbus would dim considerably. The reception for the Schumacher exhibition will be Friday November 13, 5 to 7:30 pm. The exhibit opens October 27 and runs to December 5. Aren't we lucky?
MICHAEL McEWAN's DIVERSE LANDSCAPES will show at the marvelous Keny Galleries through October 5, 2009. McEwan's art, glowing depictions of the Ohio countryside -- including Hoover Dam -- is, well, tranquil yet glowing. This artist understands: the manipulation of oil paint, the natural world, and light. He has "the gift to paint simple." -- So what else could be necessary? KENY GALLERY is at 300 East Beck Street in the German Village section of Columbus.
In the CONCOURSE GALLERY to October 23 work inspired by Italy. Everything at CONCOURSE -- which is located in the (UPPER ARLINGTON) Municipal Services Center 1600 Tremont -- is always first class. Whenever I'm able, I attend Concourse Openings which are fabulous and yummy and provide good music. -- A fabulous space with art that's always spanking new!
THE ART HOUSE IS ON FIRE! CHIHULY XIV opens October 2 at the beautiful HAWK GALLERY 153 East Main Street. Call 614-225-9595 to reserve a spot at the opening. CHIHULY is the Glass Master without compare, and he understand public art.
MAHAN, MAHAN: MAHAN Gallery is so cool it's hot in fact almost beyond NOW, it's THE NOW ART SPOT. FRESH MEAT will show there, 717 North High, until September 26. The title says it all, or provokes all. Again, 717 North High.
At 2731 Innes Road, WOODSCAPE ART STUDIO, JERRY TOLLIFSON's art is solid. In more ways than one. His sculptures have even been controversial! The exhibit is titled SYSTEMS OF PARADOX, and can be viewed 2 pm to 6 pm on September 20, 27, or October 4 and 11.
CURTIS GOLDSTEIN will show at the Ohio State University Faculty Club to October 23, and this guy is good. He can paint anything; his scapes can't be beat. We wish him luck and think he is an A#1 artist. In November and December at the Faculty Club: ELAINE FREEMAN, JUDITH HAZEN, ANASTASIA HOROWITZ, BECKY TAFT. Again, I'm familiar with the work of these artists and they are above first rate! The spirit of Anita Loos will hover.
UP AT RGBLIV, where art is always explosive and that's good, the 20th Anniversary juried Exhibition will be fabulous.
LUC TUYMANS OPENS AT THE WEX September 17. Members get in free, general public $5. It's a steal. Find out more at wexarts.org or call 614-292-3535.
The COLUMBUS CENTER FOR PAPER AND BOOK ARTS at EUROPEAN PAPERS will present 25 artists who will work on forms, as in dress dummy forms! October 3, 3 to 5:00 pm, meet the show artists at an Autumn Open House.
Last and far far from least, RICCARDO DAVENPORT, A 25 YEAR RETROSPECTIVE, shows at KIACA GALLERY to October 25 with an artist's talk on October 11, 3 to 4 pm. Be there. Talle Bamazi, artist and director at KIACA is a story in himself. As a painter he's powerful and as a raconteur, unbeatable.
-- I love looking at Art in THE RHODES STATE OFFICE TOWER LOBBY, and until September 30, you can see COLUMBUS: THE CROSSROADS OF OHIO, a don't-miss! I met some of the fabulous artists who are showing there, when I attended the Columbus Free Press Second Saturday Salon at Editor/Author Bob Fitrakis' historic 1900 mansion on East Broad. The house is an historic piece of art, and Fitrakis regaled me with tales which included that Eugene Debs adored the work of poet Whitcomb Riley.
COME HEAR LIZ AND BE A SUPPORTIVE PRESENCE On October 15 at AREOPAGITICA, 3510 North High. I will include James Wright's fantastic poems about Marion, Ohio, the locust trees, and the Hardings, -- Florence and "Warn" -- with whom at one non-smoke-filled time, my father's aunts played croquet. My mother often told me, "When I was growing up my foks talked about THEM: I can remember, your Grandma and Grandpa would say the Hardings did this, the Hardings did that," meaning the Hardings represented the apex of style and fashion, and people imitated them. -- Among the present generation of my family, however, Republicans are few and far between! -- And President Grant is looking better and better!
