What Is Green @ The Windup Space

WHAT IS GREEN?
a new exhibit featuring artists exploring the color, the word, & the concept of green

Opening September 12th 7pm-Midnight

@ The Windup Space in Station North Arts district, 12 W North Ave Baltimore, MD 21201

through Friday October 24, 2008 (Hours are Tuesday through Saturday 4pm to 1am)

What is Green? is a group exhibition of photos, paintings and sculpture at The Windup Space. This exhibit features resident artists of Load of Fun, MICA Alumni, patrons of the Chesapeake center, and members of Baltimore art community at large. The opening reception will include live entertainment and probably some wrestling clowns.

This show aims to remind the viewer that while the color green remains relatively stable the concept of green is in flux and as it evolves we must challenge ourselves to react to both the tidal wave of scientific knowledge, hearsay and our own intuition and passion towards life to embrace and create a green world in a personally meaningful and poignant way.

J Gavin Heck, a former resident artist at Load of Fun, and winner of the "best art" award for Jazz Hand, his 2007 kinetic sculpture in the American Visionary Arts Museum Race, gathered artists including Carol Bold, Emily C-D, Reed Sayre, Daniel Stuelpnagel, Bart O'Reilly, Matt Muirhead and artists with developmental disabilities from the Providence Center and others to help examine the question What is Green?, a follow-up to his international show in the Spring, If Its Yellow.

The Windup Space is a new venue in the Station North Arts district, more about it here:

Exploratory Searchery Opens @ An Die Musik

Daniel Stuelpnagel discussing his glacial painting with guests

Local artist Daniel Stuelpnagel unveiled his solo show "Exploratory Searchery," part of the Baltimore Festival Of Maps, yesterday on the first floor of An Die Musik Live. The exhibition of new paintings explores map and travel-based images gleaned from time spent in Spain, Hawaii, the Galapagos, and California.

Many of the paintings include the outline of their inspiring location, which serves as a window into the artists interpretation of the landscape, both physical and cerebral - as well as an immediate, universal signifier. The acrylic surfaces are often so smooth that the images could be interpreted as photo manipulations from afar, but reveal intricate brush and palette knife work upon closer inspection.

Noah!

As a whole, and in its alternative exhibition space, the show transports its viewers to cafes afar, where the colors are bright, and the atmosphere is incredibly calm.

MAP registry coordinator Emily Hunter said that there were more than 400 artists participating this year. Attending the opening reception for Out Of Order were MAP benefactors including Suzi Cordish; City Paper art critic Bret McCabe; art dealer C. Grimaldis; Gutter magazine publisher and photographer Joe Giordano; and several hundred artists and bargain hunters scanning the walls for art works that distinguished themselves from the crowd. Prices ranged from $ 50 to $6,000, so there was something for everyone.
