<p><strong>March 15th, 6PM &#8211; 10PM</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_252" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 599px"><a href="http://www.cmasseyart.com/paintings/recentpaintings/business-and-pleasure-10/" rel="attachment wp-att-252"><img class=" wp-image-252" title="Business and Pleasure 10" src="http://www.cmasseyart.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Business-and-Pleasure-10.jpg" alt="" width="589" height="589" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Business &amp; Pleasure 10</p></div>

<p>Please come to support a very exciting project, <strong>Soñando en Color</strong> (Dreaming in Color). An art auction will be hosted by Rush Arts Gallery on March 15th, 2012. The <a href="http://sonandoencolor.com/">Soñando en Color</a> project is a contemporary art and cultural research program that will coincide with the 2012 Havana Biennial. This project is being organized by <a href="http://brooklynartincubator.org/">Brooklyn Art Incubator </a>and the actual project will be in Havana this May 2012.  The components of the final program will be a documentary, group art exhibit, artist panel discussion,and community youth arts donation and engagement. This initiative is attempting to expand upon a long history of dialogue and exchange between American artists and Modern Cuba.</p>
<p>Soñando en Color is an examination of the response that Afro-Diasporan artists have to the socio-cultural climate and history of Cuba. This project seeks to explore the cultural footprint that Contemporary Cuba has made on the world, how people of African descent have reacted to this influence, and how that information relates to the world’s current socio-economic and political transitions. A portion of the proceeds raised for this project will be used to enhance the technological education of the children&#8217;s art program at El Centro Experimental de Artes Visuals, the host gallery for the exhibit in Havana. The remainder of the funds raised will be used to support the exhibition and accompanying documentary.</p>
<p>A host of premier New York Artists will provide work for the Auction. Among them <strong>Hank Willis Thomas, Danny Simmons, Marilyn Nance, Derrick Adams</strong>, and many more are being confirmed. <strong>Collectors, see this a rare opportunity!</strong></p>

<p>This unique show will feature the work of contemporary quilter, Patricia Montgomery, mixed media artist, Christina Massey and installation work by Eun-Kyung-Suh.</p>
<p>Brooklyn native, Christina Massey discusses her “Business and Pleasure” series, “During the winter of 2008-2009 I was laid-off of my job due to the economic Recession.  With mixed emotions of hurt and rejection from the loss of the job, I also felt relief from a commitment to a job I didn’t want.  Losing my job during that time gave me a place in History, and I felt connected to all the millions of people in the same position as me and sought to create a series of work that focused on these mixed emotions.</p>
<p>Using collared shirts and khaki pants donated from bank employees, I hand stitched together sections of my own past “failed” work that had been torn and cut up with scraps of new canvas.  This organic, quilt-like surface is stretched over a frame and painted with acrylic and oil paints.</p>
<p>Physically fragments of new and old, success and failure, business and pleasure these works are bits &amp; pieces of my past and present, likes and dislikes, a merger of corporate requirements and the livelihood of being an Artist.”</p>
<p>Patricia Montgomery from the San Francisco Bay area notes, “Syncopation series are abstract textiles that are characteristic of African American quilts. These characteristics include vivid color palettes, strong contrasting color combinations, asymmetrical and strip piecing. The design and development of this series is based on color, texture and rhythm.</p>
<p>These contemporary African American quilts provide a colorful celebration of the human spirit and community.”</p>
<p>Korean-born, Duluth-based textile installation artist Eun-Kyung Suh, received a M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA in the U.S.A. She has been focusing on a series of sculptural vessels as a metaphor for personal, family and cultural memory since 2008. These sculptural vessels are created out of diaphanous textiles, using a design originally inspired by <em>Bojagi, </em>one of traditional art forms in Korea. Bojagi is the wrapping cloth used to cover, store or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household belongings.</p>

<div id="attachment_274" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.cmasseyart.com/paintings/recentpaintings/attachment/14/" rel="attachment wp-att-274"><img class="size-medium wp-image-274" title="Business &amp; Pleasure 14" src="http://www.cmasseyart.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/14-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Business &amp; Pleasure 14</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The app is free to download and easy to use. Friends, family members, fans, and complete strangers can vote for my art on the app. The artist whose artwork with the most votes at midnight, Eastern Standard Time, on May 14, 2012 (the day before we announce the West Collects 2012 Winners) will win $25,000 cash.  The winner of this popular vote will be announced with the other winners on May 15, 2012.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is the method the West Collection is using to acquire all artworks for the collection this year. Why? Because they found that there aren&#8217;t enough days in the year (or dollars for airline tickets) to get in front of all of the art worth seeing. How many art fairs, galleries, and studios must one visit to get a complete picture of the contemporary art scene? Even with all of the art they do see, almost daily, they know that they are missing opportunities to see a lot of great work. So, they decided to open it up and let you tell them what they should be seeing, what they should be collecting.</p>

This piece will premiere at the opening of <em>Visual Phrasing</em>.</p>
<p>During the Gallery installation process of this project and at the  opening reception, audiences can discuss the inspiration of the phrase  informally with some of the visual artists such as Danica Phelps, Debra  Ramsay, Industry of the Ordinary, Bill Davis, Christina Massey, Joseph Farbrook, Karen  Shaw, and Ken Weathersby.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.reno.gov/Index.aspx?page=576&amp;recordid=5586">McKinley Arts &amp; Culture Center </a>of the City of Reno will be featuring a solo exhibition titled <a href="http://www.cmasseyart.com/?page_id=17"><em>An Art Community</em></a> by Christina Massey.</p>
<p><strong>The McKinley West Gallery,</strong> 925 Riverside Drive, Reno, NV 89503</p>
<div id="attachment_182" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 598px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-182" href="http://www.cmasseyart.com/?attachment_id=182"><img class="size-large wp-image-182" title="Brooklyn: An art Community, Red Hook " src="http://www.cmasseyart.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Red-Hook-3-1024x778.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="443" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Brooklyn: An art Community, Red Hook </p></div>

<p>Inspired by the irony of the “art community” where a supportive, nurturing environment is supposed to exist<strong> </strong>within a fiercely competitive world of Art, these works mingle the complex issues of gentrification, community and race with that of the marketability of an artistic environment and the effect and place that Artists play within those communities.</p>
<p>The works are created by weaving cuttings and scraps of multiple paintings and/or prints that had originally been created to exist on their own.  Each piece has been named after a neighborhood of Brooklyn and generally represents the ethnic make up of those communities at this moment in time.   True to the ethnic make up of most communities however, no one piece is made of entirely one canvas, and the interwoven structure of the scraps of paintings would collapse with out the support of the others.</p>
<p><em>An Art Community</em> connects people, by comparing their similarities in the situations of gentrification, race and community.  By the work being simultaneously specific and literal as well as abstract and conceptual, <em>An Art Community </em>challenges the notions of permanence, connections and identification from place.</p>
<p>.</p>

<p><em>Home Sweet? </em>questions the romantic idea of the home by digging  through the surface to reveal what lies beneath. This exhibition  examines the concept of “Home” in several ways: Home as the hidden  relationship one has with their personal space, Home as body with flesh  and organs, Home as a psychological space, and the symbolism of the body  as architecture.</p>
