Games include the Exquisite Corpse drawing game (advanced drawing skills not required!)\, the Dream Game (a board game where you end up creating a dream!)\, and many varieties of surrealist word games. The consummate master of ceremonies\, Miller will not only explain and lead the games to kick off the event\, but he’ll also DJ – providing a surrealistic soundtrack to the evening. (Paper and drawing/writing tools will be supplied). \nSays Miller\, “A great virtue is that these games are not at all competitive. A person who is an experienced artist may interact with a more naive drawer to produce a brilliant composition. It’s a thrill for me to see people\, many who never met before they sat down together to play\, collectively create something brand new.”  \n\n” ‘A Night of Surrealist Games’ was a first for us and an overwhelming patron favorite.  His knowledge of Surrealism and skill in getting strangers to play together was a smashing success!”    I.C.A.

There will be a public reception beginning at 5:30 followed by a talk with the artist at 7:30. The show will also preview on Friday November 2 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm during the Vermont Jazz Center Emerging Artist Festival. The show will remain up through November 29th\, 2018. Gallery hours are Saturdays from 2 to 6 pm or by appointment. \nDetailed line drawings on old and recently salvaged paper mark a departure from the political and socially conscious images Namenwirth rendered through a technical process of digital pixelation. This current work delves into a highly personal art\, where each element is touched\, edges felt rather than masked and taped. \nThe inspiration for the work comes from closely watching trees as they grow\, observing the landscape\, their exterior bark and inner bark\, finally inside to the growth rings. These observations are translated through a process of abstraction\, drawing freehand in ink. “As the tree grows so do my drawings\, everything that happens in the process becomes part of the finished work – the moment is accepted as artifact\,” said Namenwirth.   \nNamenwirth has exhibited at The Bronx Museum\, Momenta\, VertexList and Galapagos in New York and his “Video and Animations” have been screened at Diva in Miami. He also ran an art moving company that made the moving the art. The truck painted as a conceptual message board while using it as a gallery and performance space during art happenings in Soho and Chelsea. \nThis is Namenwirth’s first solo exhibition since 2008 at VertexList when he decided to step back from the socially oriented work he had been producing and began to study music and started a project growing trees from seed. It was only after planting trees all over New York and New England and becoming a regular performer on the New York experimental music scene that Aron returned to drawing. “When Aron first came to Vermont to perform\, he planted some seedlings that have now grown into healthy saplings” said John Loggia\, who curated the show in cooperation with Gallery Director Lisa Mendelsund. “His drawings are meditations on that process modulated by spontaneous variations inspired by improvised music.”  \nFor more info or to inquire about purchasing art\, email  Anamenwirth@gmail.com. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n lines-10\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-1\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-2\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-11\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-5\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-12\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-6\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-9\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-4\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-8\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-3\n \n \n \n \n \n lines-7\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-19\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-18\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-17\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-16\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-15\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-5\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-6\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-7\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-8\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-9\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-10\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-11\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-12\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-13\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-14\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-4\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-3\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-2\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-1\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-21\n \n \n \n \n \n rings-20\n \n \n \n \n \n cube\n \n \n \n \n \n tree log URL:https://118elliot.com/event/aron-namenwirth-the-autographic-image/ LOCATION:118 Elliot CATEGORIES:Past Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/namewirth_wide.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181102T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181102T200000 DTSTAMP:20260426T040711 CREATED:20180924T184714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181030T183747Z UID:1690-1541179800-1541188800@118elliot.com SUMMARY:Gallery Walk: VJC Emerging Artist Festival & Exhibition Preview DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Jazz Center’s Annual Emerging Artist Festival \n7:00 – 8:30pm at 118 Elliot: The Archer Parks Trio \nMore about the Emerging Artist Festival\nHeadliners \nArcoiris Sandoval’s Sonic Asylum\nAmaury Acosta’s King Klave\nDarryl Kniffen’s Planet Kniffen\nThe Young Lions \nThe VJC combines its two seasonal Emerging Artist concerts into one major event this year.

It’s about coming clean and putting it out in public. Bringing the personal and intimate into a public space is a transgressive and powerful act. At the same time\, because the subject of personal narrative or confessional writing is lived experience and emotional travail\, it is often derided as feminine\, self-absorbed\, and weak.  This event is about reclaiming and owning a kind of writing that is sometimes dismissed or denigrated. It embraces the notion that confessional writing is women’s writing. It’s about the lives of women and the way that women write about their lives. By putting their experience into words and then out into the world\, women transform their lives in powerful ways and empower other women to do the same. \nLaundry will feature mostly local women writers of diverse backgrounds and experience reading brief\, sometimes raw\, personal or confessional pieces in various formats–spoken word\, poetry\, and creative nonfiction. Readers—Meg Baronian\, Shanta Lee Gander\, Diana Whitney\, Wendy Levy\, Verandah Porche\, Taite Blaise\, Ruth Antoinette Rodriguez and others will present work at this event.

This show\, comprised of local artists—in affiliation with River Gallery School—is going to scrape off some of the grime\, and leave you smiling.\n \nHave you seen some of Leigh Niland’s series\, The Secret Lives of Shopkeepers? These alone will be worth the visit. Also featured are paintings by Leonard Ragouzeos (shown)\, Robert Thomson\, and Ralph DeAnna.\n \nWe are filling the room to the rafters with the faces of people you see all the time. But do we see each other truly? These portraits invite us to look closer\, past the selfies and drive-by encounters\, into an aspect of each other that we might well have missed.\n\n\n\nOpening Reception\, Friday\, October 5th\, 5:30 -8:30pm. \nGallery Hours on Saturdays 12-5pm and by appointment c/o lcmendelsund@gmail.com 802-257-2757\nUp through November 2 URL:https://118elliot.com/event/gallery-walk-who-we-are-the-secret-life-of-shopkeepers/2018-10-05/ CATEGORIES:Past Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ragouzeos_wide.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gallery Walk":MAILTO:info@gallerywalk.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181003T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181003T203000 DTSTAMP:20260426T040711 CREATED:20180924T195537Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181027T193657Z UID:1712-1538589600-1538598600@118elliot.com SUMMARY:African Drum & Dance with Seny Daffe DESCRIPTION:African drum and dance with live drumming for the dance class taught by Seny Daffe! \nAll levels welcome. \nDrum class: 6 – 7:00pm\, sliding scale $12-$20 \nDance class: 7:00pm – 8:30pm\, sliding scale $15-$20 URL:https://118elliot.com/event/african-drum-dance-seny-daffe/2018-10-03/ CATEGORIES:Classes & Ongoing Events,Dance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Seny-Daffe-teaches-drum-dance-at-118-Elliot-October-24th.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="African Dance Vermont":MAILTO:africandancevt@gmail.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
