Work exhibited range from abstract designs to more complex figurative paintings. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which coloured pigments are added and then applied to a variety of surfaces. Early examples of encaustic art date back to Egyptian Fayum mummy portraits 100-300 AD, and later in the 20th century, artists like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg embraced the medium. More recently, encaustic art has seen resurgence in popularity among contemporary artists as this event exemplifies.

Description:

What's an altered book? Just take an unwanted book and use it as your canvas; a liberating way to create art and a chance to have a relationship with it. You’ll learn how to continue folding each page in exactly the same manner so that you achieve a more sculptural looking book form. There are endless variations that you can do with this technique. Many of us grew up thinking that writing in or damaging a book was a very bad thing to do. Altering a book is a way of saving it and giving it new life. Dive in with your imagination and enjoy the experience.

Description:

Newburgh, NY – The Ann Street Gallery welcomes electronic music artists Suzanne Thorpe and Bonnie Jones to conduct a workshop and concert,
Electronic Music: Powered by Girls, on Saturday March 13 from 1:00-5:00 pm, and a public concert at 8:00 pm.

The workshop is free to the public, and concert admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students.

The workshop will provide young girls aged 13-18 hands-on experience with both digital and analog technologies, fostering familiarity and confidence in areas of art, science, and technology. Designed for students with basic computer literacy, the workshop will include a sound walk and recording session, audio editing session, and exercises designed to develop skills in listening, dialogue, sharing, and vocalizing. The artists believe that creative musical expression within a group setting is an effective method for addressing critical female adolescent and young adult issues such as: confidence and self-image, group-awareness, self-awareness, creative problem solving, peer support, and diversity.

The evening concert will feature solo electronic music compositions by the artists as well as an improvised collaborative duet performance.
Thorpe will present a single performance of Nautical Twilight, a multichannel solo work for flute, electronics, laptop and hemispherical speakers. Nautical Twilight is a piece about the absence of illumination, when objects are discernible, but details indistinguishable. Jones will present an improvised performance based on a text/poetry score. Jones’ unusual self-made electronic instruments and use of microphones provide a unique palette in which to explore ideas of “voice” and “language.” The piece will combine sound and poetry written by Jones, exploring the area where music becomes communicative and text becomes aural.

Location:Ann Street Gallery

In this exhibition, fifteen contemporary artists from across the country and abroad explore the ancient tradition of encaustic painting. Work exhibited range from abstract designs to more complex figurative paintings. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which coloured pigments are added and then applied to a variety of surfaces. Early examples of encaustic art date back to Egyptian Fayum mummy portraits 100-300 AD, and later in the 20th century, artists like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg embraced the medium. More recently, encaustic art has seen resurgence in popularity among contemporary artists as this event exemplifies. Those interested in the ancient medium of encaustic art should not miss this exhibit.
