DIVERSE. Poetics of Nature.
2024-10-17 19:00 - 2025-03-15 17:00 (America/Puerto_Rico) | Universidad Ana G. Méndez – Recinto de Gurabo, 6XRV+Q6H, Rio Grande Road, Juncos, Gurabo 00777, Puerto Rico, Gurabo, Puerto Rico
“Diverse. Poetics of Nature is an exhibition that reveals my enormous admiration and respect for nature, for its intuitive and spontaneous frankness. In times when everything tends to be the result of a construction: images, what we say, perceptions… the only thing that remains real and true, is nature.”
Jeannette Betancourt

From the summit the clouds
2024-11-22 18:00 - 2025-02-17 20:00 (America/Mexico_City) | Jardín Borda Cultural Center,, Av. Morelos 271, Cuernavaca Centro, Centro, 62000 Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico
This is a multisensorial installation by Mexican artist and curator Elizabeth Ross.
The artist primarily used Xuan paper and inks to create an emotional, artistic, and gestural diary, a response to the intense emotions evoked by the ongoing events in West Asia. Sound, video, and aroma create a singular experience.
The curator Iris lam Chen ends her presentation text with this paragraph: All the works highlight the complementary contrast between the angry and sanguine nature of the Latin American vocal denunciation that demands a reaction, and the melancholic and phlegmatic nature of the Chinese culture that prays for the honor of the fallen from silence and ritual. This intercultural mix is ​​inexorable in Elizabeth’s work and a constant in the present exhibition.

Contemporary papermaking draws on generations of knowledge about fibers, waters, and motions of the body. There is ritual in the processes of preparing pulp, pulling sheets, and pressing and drying paper between or upon boards. The practice of papermaking is learned as much through an inherent, tacit understanding within the body as it is through overt instruction. Working with pulp is a tactile exercise – one through which artists imbue meaning and history into their materials and art.
Tacit Knowledge celebrates seven years of Dieu Donné’s West Bay View Foundation Fellowship, an immersive studio mentorship for emerging papermakers to expand and enrich their artistic practices at Dieu Donné’s papermaking studios in Brooklyn, NY. Artists and papermakers Anna Hendrick Karpatkin Benjamin, Katharine L. DeLamater, Candy Alexandra González, Jaz Graf, Lauren Krukowski, SR Lejeune, and Anela Ming-Yue Oh each spent three to six months in the Dieu Donné papermaking studios, fully immersing themselves in the art of papermaking, supporting artists and projects coming through the studio, and learning to hone their techniques and develop their own practices. Their fellowships culminated in dedicated professional studio days for each artist to each create new bodies of artwork in handmade paper. Their resulting artworks pull from personal, social, and historical experience, and explore ritual, identity, heritage, and environment, mining both inherited and privatized forms of knowledge.

TFAP NYC invites you to No Reservation.
NO RESERVATION covers the journey of diverse global goddesses – African, Asian, Indigenous, and Middle Eastern – who crash a dinner party in celebration of false gods of present-day power and persuasion.
These goddesses have been underground for centuries but now rise up, sensing the urgency of their presence ‘at the table.’ This multidisciplinary performance piece was co-created with diverse women artists and moves forward from second wave feminist artists who took on the patriarchy through works like The Dinner Party, by Judy Chicago, Some Living American Women Artists/Last Supper by Mary Beth Edelson and the dinner scene in Top Girls by Caryl Churchill.
Will you join us at the table?

College Art Association 113th Annual Conference | New York City, February 12–15, 2025
Art Historian Linda Nochlin stated that, “feminist art history is there to make trouble, to call into question, to ruffle feathers in the patriarchal dovecotes.” This event is dedicated to women who are troublemakers, and whose creative practice references science as a source of inspiration for writing, research, curating and art making. Through their work they question underlying assumptions about the world, how standard scientific processes and methodology which aspire to objectivity may instead be steeped in bias and discrimination, leading to flawed and inaccurate, entirely subjective data outcomes. Some have adopted science-based art making techniques, materials and concepts, to explore ideas about humanity. Women, for many years, were not able to aspire to formal careers as scientists as they were excluded from places of higher education. The same could be said of the visual arts – women were not seen in museums but they were still making art. In both cases, it was incorrectly assumed that women lacked certain physical and mental capacities, thus justifying their exclusion. This event will focus on both the physical sciences (including artificial intelligence, trans-species organ transplants, DNA, ecology and natural history) and the social sciences (including psychiatry, hysteria, and mysticism).
