Cast/Recast is curated by Alissa Maru in collaboration with Hannah Barco and Sue Wrbican. In 2020, artist and George Mason University School of Art professor Sue Wrbican installed the new public sculpture Buoyant Force in Reston Town Square Park in Reston, Virginia. The interactive sculpture features a QR code that enables the viewer to talk to the sculpture via text, and the sculpture will begin to tell viewers its story. The sculpture can also offer a reading, like a Tarot Card reading. The twenty-two women in Cast/Recast are the artists who created those readings, or Oracles as they came to be known. Invited by Wrbican to create digital images and texts that speak of our collective futures, Mason Exhibitions has now brought these artists together in Cast/Recast to exhibit works of their choosing. What results is an exhibition of unsinkable spirits offering a multitude of wisdoms. This story is ongoing, and it is a story of insistence, and persistence, with a sharp focus on analyzing contemporary injustices and moving us toward a world that we want to live in. Cast/Recast fills Gillespie Gallery with installations, sculptures, altars, manifestos, performance documentation, paintings, photographs, wallpaper, a soundtrack, and a portal. |

Forecast November 3, 2022–January 22, 2023 Curated by Alissa Maru in collaboration with Hannah Barco and Sue Wrbican Opening Reception & Artist Talk Friday, November 4, 6–8pm Tephra ICA at Signature www.tephraica.org Forecast presents twenty-two image and text works that speak to our collective futures. Far from a singular vision, these predictions span the range from willing the utopic into existence to raising the alarm bells about what may be to come. The predictions, or “Buoyant Oracles” as they came to be known, were created by a cohort of female identifying artists responding to Sue Wrbican’s public sculpture Buoyant Force, which is located in Reston Town Square Park in Reston, Virginia. The Buoyant Oracle is a playful interactive feature activated by scanning a QR code that provides the opportunity to chat with Buoyant Force and receive a reading of paired poetry and images. Created by the Playful City Lab at American University in collaboration with Sue Wrbican and Tephra ICA, the installation features an evolving cast of guest oracles and narratives. Read more here. Special funding for Forecast is provided by the GLB Memorial Fund for the Arts. |

LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER PYRAMID ATLANTIC ART CENTER National Juried Exhibition of Works on and of Paper August 19–October 2, 2022 RSVP FOR THE OPENING RECEPTION JURORS:CINDY CHENG, KELLY TAYLOR MITCHELL, GRETCHEN SCHERMERHORN Looks Good on Paper features 2D and 3D works on, in, and of paper. The exhibition showcases diverse practices and concepts in paper arts including trends and advances in the art of hand papermaking, politics of paper/papermaking, and explorations of the materiality of paper itself. The wide-ranging works show paper pushed to the limits: stretched, manipulated, recycled, cast, or otherwise transformed so conceptually and visibly, it becomes something else altogether. “I think the scale of the works will be surprising to visitors. We often think of paper in its 8.5″ x 11″ size, but that notion is very much challenged by accumulation, transformation, or repetition in pieces such as in Xuewu Zheng’s “Zen Wall” of cast bricks,” remarks Schermerhorn. “It’s exciting to see how something as common as paper can be used to discuss current political events or philosophical conundrums, such as the piece by Kristen Tordello-Williams, “For Flags,” that explores the history of labor in a common American work garment.” The selected artists represent an array of approaches in art making, from traditional to experimental. Some are very fresh-on-the-scene of paper arts and some are accomplished, master-level artists with CVs that read like novels. |

“As Maryland continues to recover from the global pandemic, it is important to recognize just how important a role the arts play in our lives,” said First Lady Yumi Hogan. “As we look to brighter days ahead, we know the arts community will be there to help us reflect, heal, and celebrate. All the artists in Maryland contribute to this creative ecosystem. I want to congratulate all the awardees for their incredible contributions to the arts and our communities.”
This year’s awardees were chosen from a pool of 540 applicants through a public panel process. MSAC worked with 38 panelists, made up of multidisciplinary artists and practitioners from across the state, to review and evaluate each eligible application.

Panelists reviewed all 540 eligible applications, which included 311 from Baltimore Metro region, 166 from Washington Metro region, and 63 from the Eastern, Southern, and Western regions.
Panelists then recommended 86 applications to move forward to the public Regional Panel Meetings for further review. From here, 66 were recommended for Regional Awards. See list below.
In addition to the recognition, awardees receive grants to support their continued artistic growth. 53 artists will receive a regional grant of $2,000 to recognize promise, and 13 artists will receive an award of $10,000 to recognize notable artistic achievement. Two state awardees, chosen from the $10,000 regional winners, were also named: Stephen Towns of Baltimore City and Mia Rollow of Prince George’s County will receive an additional award of $15,000 to recognize outstanding artistic achievement.
"It’s a privilege to be recognized by my artistic peers. This award gives me more motivation to continue the work that I have been creating," says Stephen Towns.

UNCOMMON GOODS WILLOW STREET GALLERY www.dcartsstudios.org January 31 - March 1, 2020 Artist Talk: Sunday, March 1, 2020 1:30pm Artists: Damon Arhos, Sarah Irvin, Nicole Salimbene, Olivia Tripp Morrow Exhibit Curated by Megan Maher Press: The Washington Post, In the galleries: Uncommon Goods, Mark Jenkins (February 21, 2020) The artists featured, Damon Arhos, Sarah Irvin, Nicole Salimbene, and Olivia Tripp Morrow, transform household objects into complex and beautiful works of art. By changing the use or physical attributes of these everyday, ready-made objects, the artists in Uncommon Goods invite us to interpret new ways of looking at the commonplace. These works challenge the viewer to consider the range and depth capable of the humble, utilitarian objects that surround us. Damon Arhos created his Iron Paintings by dripping paint over irons onto wood. Through this act, Arhos revisits the iron’s place as a household appliance into a tool akin to an artist’s brush or palette knife. He also subverts the iron’s traditional gender coding and association with women’s work. The artist invites the viewers to ask, can an object transcend from appliance to a means of conceptual self-expression? Sarah Irvin repurposes the objects in her own home to make cyanotypes with repeating patterns and shapes found in her children’s toys, such as her daughter’s doll house and teacups. Irvin’s focus on household objects serves as an exploration of social dynamics, especially in her role as an artist, mother, and wife. Irvin sees the power of this project in its ability to go beyond the home “in shaping greater social relations, through acknowledgement of the malleable nature of a developing individual. The potential for massive societal shifts is therefore capable through small and even imagined personal spaces.” Nicole Salimbene is “particularly drawn to the elegance and monumentality found in the ordinary and ephemeral.” She uses the pages of Artforum to investigate the relationship between consumerism, decorative arts, and the contemporary art market. Salimbene separates each magazine page by color to thread them into monochromatic tapestries, turning pages containing art criticism and glossy advertisements into decorative objects. By doing so, the artist adapts the power dynamics of the traditionally male-dominated art market into a traditionally feminine craft. For Olivia Tripp M0rrow’s Gradient series, she creates ephemeral sculptures from women’s undergarments by arranging them in a gradient of skin-like hues. Tripp Marrow’s ability to construct abstract sculptures while still maintaining the form-fitting integrity of undergarments (to stretch, to conform, to contain) provides a nod to the beauty, strength, and multiplicity of women's bodies and experiences. Tripp Marrow’s use of intimates also invites the viewer to reconsider the public and private aspects of women’s bodies, while her careful construction of skin color gradients alludes to the subjective concept of beauty and our pursuit of it. |

Workshop
OPENING TO YOUR CREATIVITY: ART AS A CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE Location: HALCYON ARTS LAB www.halcyonhouse.org 1801 35th Street, Washington, D.C. 20007 January 12, 19, 26, and February 2, 2020 3:00-4:30pm Nicole Salimbene leads participants in a series of writing and art exercises introducing visual journaling as a tool for reflection, inquiry, and meditation. No prior art skills needed. This is not an art class to learn traditional representational art skills, but an invitation to inspire curiosity and to experience the transformational power of art-making. Through creative experimentation that is focused not on producing an art object, but on an unfolding practice, this workshop provides space for a deeper awareness of the internal and external matters guiding your life and work to emerge. Nicole Salimbene has created a method for using the artistic process to develop mindfulness and to enrich vocational wellness, and has brought this approach to various academic institutions, community settings and professional associations. She has led workshops in affiliation with American University, Clark University, Lama Foundation, The Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, Wesley Theological Seminary, Ghost Ranch and World Wildlife Fund. |
