BERLIN: Borderlines - photos by Terry Allen at Central VT Medical Center
Terry Allen “Borderlines” Exhibit
CVMC Art Gallery, Central Vermont Medical Center
Berlin, VT
Through August 23, 2013
http://www.cvmc.org/news/2013-art-gallery-terry-allen
“Borderlines,” an exhibit of Terry Allen’s photography is currently hanging in the lobby at Central Vermont Medical Center. It shows people and cultures on the edges of society and the cusp of change. Some photos soften the boundaries that divide people or blur the hard borders separating sky, water, and stone.
“These photographs are amazing,” remarked CVMC President and CEO Judy Tartaglia.
“Subjects range from children at play in a Thai temple to a photo quilt assembled from quarry machinery shed to a cat on a graffitied car hood in Queens, NYC.” Allen has been photographing throughout her life, starting with her travels around Asia, including six years in Japan, and several months in China just after Mao’s death.
She continued snapping pictures while working as a journalist covering the wars that devastated Central America during the 1980s and as part of a medical assessment team on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq. “I just love the act of taking pictures, and the illusion of stopping time,” commented Terry.
Allen’s photos have been published in the New York Times and other US and international publications, exhibited in group and one-person shows, and presented in the U.S. Senate as evidence of human rights violations.
Terry is a UVM graduate, attended the University of Chicago and completed the intensive Japanese language program at Harvard University. She lives in East Montpelier.
The show will remain at CVMC through August 23, 2013.

STOWE: Painters Marc Civitarese and Susan Wahlrab at West Branch
West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park in Stowe, VT is pleased to
announce the opening of two solo-shows in our Upstairs at
West Branch galleries for the month of July. This show features the
work of two talented West Branch painters, Marc Civitarese and Susan
Wahlrab.
Marc Civitarese's paintings, though based in the landscape tradition,
are cerebral and visceral explorations of the relationship between man
and nature.
A departure from a purely realist depiction of the world, Civitarese's
work moves towards a more expressive sensibility.
Each painting is a memory; a reflection of the painter's observations of
nature, which are reduced, distilled, and refined to the pure elements
that engaged and provoked his response.
Marc Civitarese attended the School of the Museum of Fine arts, Boston,
and Tufts University where he earned his Master of Fine Arts. Solo
exhibitions
have included the Lanoue Fine Art Gallery, Boston, the William Scott
Gallery in Provincetown, MA and the Circa Gallery, Minneapolis MN.
Civitarese's
work is included in national and international collections, including
the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas, Merrell Lynch, and the Coraracion Geo,
Mexico City, Mexico.
Susan Wahlrab's unique approach to watercolor painting draws on her background in printmaking to build up imagery through the layering of colored washes and line work. Using archival clayboards as her painting surface, Wahlrab achieves stunningly rendered compositions, which read initially as representational paintings of natural settings. Upon closer study though, the work reveals itself to be the recognizable culmination of abstract shapes and gestures. These depictions are the result of the deft use of her medium. These paintings represent Susan’s time walking, playing and sitting in stillness in nature’s presence to investigate and be included in this understanding. After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking from Rhode Island School of Design and joining the Experimental Etching Studio in Boston, Wahlrab built a reputation creating many layered intaglios and monoprints that were shown and collected internationally. Teaching 2-D design, drawing and printmaking at Brown University, Framingham State College and The Maine College of Art, she eventually moved to Vermont in 1992 where she lives and works, painting full time.

MORRISVILLE: Gabriel Tempesta "The Bumblebee Series" at River Arts
Opening Reception:
Thursday, July 11, 5-7 p.m.
River Arts Center
Morrisville, VT
July 11-September 2, 2013
The Bumblebee Series is my project which started in the winter of 2013. The inspiration came from an interview with the Vermont Center for Eco-Studies on VPR. The program was about the current state of Vermont’s bumblebee population and the survey they were conducting with the help of volunteers from around the state to help document the number of bumblebees in our region.
This body of work was created to help bring awareness to the plight of Vermont’s bumblebees whose numbers have been declining over the last ten years from a number of environmental reasons.
A 2012 Creation grant from the Vermont Arts Council was awarded to help fund the project. I have been working with the Center for Eco-studies to learn more about the issues surrounding the State’s bumblebee population as well as to gain inspiration for the artwork.
Artistic Process
I have been “painting” with charcoal as my primary medium for the last three years, with these pieces representing a more experimental direction. I love the way charcoal and water react and mix on a hard surface; in this case clayboard or gesso on board, which is how the painting begins. The charcoal is scratched or lifted off with tools and erasers to get the fine detail, and are sealed with an archival polycrylic coating to protect them in the end. Much of my creative process involves standing back to observe how the charcoal powder interacts with the water.
Gabriel is from Wolcott, Vermont and studied illustration at Montserrat College of Art. He currently lives in Albany and has a studio in Craftsbury Common. For more of his work, click here.

The Common Space Gallery is located at:
River Arts Center,
74 Pleasant Street
Morrisville, VT
Gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 10:00a.m.-2:00p.m.

Gabriel Tempesta - The Bumblebee Series
July 11-September 2, 2013
The Bumblee Series is an exhibit of charcoal "paintings"
created by local artist Gabriel Tempesta. Tempesta began the series this winter with support from a 2012 Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council, in an effort to bring awareness to the Vermont bumblebee, whose populations have been declining over the past ten years. Tempesta
has been "painting" with charcoal over the last three years, pursuing an experimental approach combining water with charcoal followed by a subtractive treatment to the surface.

Opening Reception:

The Vermont Farm and Food Show A Creative Collaboration with the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link!
In Vermont, food is part of the landscape. There is a farm next door, an orchard just a few blocks away, a dairy next to the school, a farmers market that you can see from your office window. These places can blend into the background from time to time, and appear as ordinary as the buildings lining a downtown street. Yet local foods are beginning to move from their place on the back burner and into the forefront of people’s minds. More and more people in the Rutland area are shopping at farmers markets, buying CSA shares, and even growing their own food. Our community has begun to realize that, much like the rolling hills that we often perceive as banal, farms and food have their own art-like beauty.
Between July 5th and August 11th, the Chaffee Art Center and the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link (RAFFL) will join forces to present the Vermont Farm and Food Show, with an opening reception on July 12th, 5-8 p.m. at Chaffee Downtown.
The exhibition will feature two Vermont painters, Besty Hubner and Amy Mosher. Additionally on display will be a fountain and sculpture garden designed by Russ Marsan of Carpenter and Costin and Nick Santoro, photos from Green Mountain College students’ project ‘A Day in the Life of a Vermont Farmer,’ posters from the Lexicon of Sustainability emphasizing the educational component of Vermont’s food system, a series of recovered apple crates designed by Robin Taft, and a mobile from Wallingford Elementary School.
The exhibit will also include a series of speakers and demonstrations pertaining to both art and food.

For the month of July, West Branch Gallery is excited combine the opening of our new exhibition in our Upstairs at West Branch
galleries with the gala opening reception for a solo exhibition of new works by Jessie Pollock.
Jessie Pollock brings together the invisible and the vanished in her solo show of mixed media and encaustic works, Sensitive Chaos Redux at West Branch Gallery.
Pollock’s Sensitive Chaos
series is directly inspired by the writings of Theodore Schwenk,
founder of the Institute for Flow and his theories about the repetitive
patterns in nature, which are caused by the flow of water. Pollock’s
work uses the all-encompassing medium of encaustic wax painting, which
she describes as a combination of elements of drawing, sculpting and
painting to explore the undercurrents found in our natural world.
In her Vanishing Landscape series, Pollock uses her encaustic method, combined with found imagery from times past. Obsolete machinery, foregone eras of bustling agricultural communities, and the changing uses of the landscape all call to mind memories of a time gone by. These two series come together to form Sensitive Chaos Redux, an exhibition that glows with a sensitivity to and understanding of the subtleties and beauty of our relationships to nature.
July's Upstairs at West Branch Gallery exhibition features new works by two of our talented West Branch artists, Marc Civitarese and Susan Wahlrab.
Marc Civitarese’s paintings, though based in the landscape tradition, are cerebral and visceral explorations of the relationship between man and nature. A departure from a purely realist depiction of the world, Civitarese’s work moves towards a more expressive sensibility. Susan Wahlrab’s unique approach to watercolor painting draws on her background in printmaking to build up imagery through the layering of colored washes and line work. Wahlrab's paintings reflect the continuing journey of her experience observing and intimately connecting to the natural world.

MONTPELIER: Mark Goodwin at VT Arts Council
In the Spotlight Gallery
through June 2013
Mark Goodwin's work is an investigation of drawing that hovers between painting and sculpture. Through a series of folds, scores, and mark making, he creates enigmatic work. This exhibit is now on display in the Spotlight Gallery through the end of June 2013. All of the pieces on display are for sale.
Mark Goodwin is known for works on paper, sculpture, and paintings. The drawings and paintings, the visual objects, by Goodwin are enigmatic and beautiful. Based on process and investigation, and on skill, material, and chance, they have a sculptural and poetic sensibility.
To begin with, folds and marks are imprinted from the back into the flat surface of a paper or canvas. An initial topography is created which, when the work is turned over, is further explored and developed with paint applied to the surface.
As the work takes form, the image is repeatedly scraped and sanded, erased and revealed, as new layers of paint are applied, and new marks are imprinted from behind.
Goodwin's work exudes a strong sense of presence and asks for the viewer’s participation. The work seduces the eyes, while offering up clues for speculation.
Goodwin is the recipient of a PEW Fellowship in the Arts, a Mid-Atlantic/NEA Regional Fellowship, a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Visual Arts Fellowship, and an Artist's Residency at La Napoule Art Foundation. He has a B.F.A. from the University of Kansas, and did graduate studies in the Program for Artisanry at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. His work is represented by Big Town Gallery in Rochester, Vt.

12 Main St., Essex Junction, VT
"City" Call for Submissions:DEADLINE: June 26th, 2013 Midnight EST Juror: Stephen Perloff
Uptown, downtown, urban spaces, public places and the life that inhabits them!
Nothing in the city is stopping, nothing is slow. There's never a moment of
silence, never a moment alone. Horns honking, people talking, vendors
yelling, children laughing, trains running, doors opening and doors
closing. The city has a beat, a rhythm, a constant ebb and flow.
Strangers brushing shoulders, lovers holding hands, catch it all in an
instant. Because in an instant it will be gone. All except the
buildings. The stoic silence of these structures, juxtaposes all the
life. Distinct architecture, setting the scene, a beauty so quiet in a
sea of so much noise. Each brick tells a story, every street, bridge and
tunnel oh so pertinent. They are characters in this play of city life.

| Shoshone Butte by Sacha Pealer |
The trio work for the Rivers Program in the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources; Gretchen works as a river scientist helping assess the health of rivers and their corridors, and Ned and Sacha both work to protect Vermont’s floodplains. Casual conversations revealed a mutual interest in nature journaling and, upon Ned’s suggestion, the three started to share a journal to record drawings and writings.

Meander I – Gretchen Alexander

| Before the Day by Ned Swanberg |
Sacha Pealer likes to get her hands, face, and clothes covered with chalk dust. Sometimes she traces on the page the shape or texture of some distant ridge she walked in years past as a field botanist, river scientist, or writer. Sometimes she sits out in swarms of mosquitoes, relentless wind, or glaring sun, engrossed for hours by the process of blending colors to match the earth. Sometimes she hoards images of land forms and skylines in her mind's eye, only to tease them out on paper later. Through art--she discovers--she can be free and light.
Ned Swanberg struggles to celebrate his love for the natural world and to find a way to live honorably in its beauty. Ned’s journals have evolved from lists of daily discoveries to incorporate small sketches and watercolors. Sharing a nature journal with friends has been a rich slow motion conversation of wonder. When it gets too cold for watercolors outside (or in the car) Ned will linger on weekend mornings to paint from photographs collected on walks over the year. It is an honor to see the beauty of the world and to try and share it with others on the journey. Ned lives near the White River and loves walking with mountains and rivers.

More About Outerlands:
Outerlands Gallery was founded in 2012 by Photographer Cat Cutillo and Sculptor Ross Sheehan. Located in downtown Vergennes, Vermont, this former carriage house was completely renovated into a contemporary gallery that exhibits both local and national artists and craftspeople.
Much of the art inside mimics the revamped Gallery itself by using material that is often abandoned and repurposed. Outerlands focuses on Photography, Sculpture, Painting, Video, Art Objects, Furniture and Wearable Art. The Gallery strives to exhibit work expressing strong craftsmanship, select materials and even a sense of [dark] humor.
In addition to the Gallery, Outerlands provides a range of services including Art Handling, Art Installation, Photography, Video Production and Video Editing. Currently, there is an outdoor Sculpture Garden in progress.
