Artport Kingston

Current Exhibition: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Curated and organized by Laurie De Chiara and Stefan Saffer

November 28 - January 31, 2021

Mary Ann Strandell's "Transit Portal" installation, combines a 50 foot wall drawing, hand-painted in situ, with (14) 3-d lenticular print media. It brings together historical spaces of baroque, modernism, and post-modernism. With this she considers the multiple viewing experience as a portal, akin to our computer/network user-world with the real, the fantastical, and the virtual as a mash-up of a quarantined social connection.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Artists: Becky Bailey, Beth Humphrey, Mary Tooley Parker, Sarah Lutz, Julie Hedrick, Carlos Pinto, Maxine Leu, Stuart Farmery, Jen Kelly, Aurora Abzug, Rodger Stevens, Becca Van K, Bradley Wood, Hanna Washburn, Celeste Fichter, Melanie Einzig, Jeila Gueramian, Jennifer Dalton, Mary Ann Strandell, and Seth David Rubin.

New York, NEW YORK, September 20, 2020 – In times of crisis, art and poetry provide philosophical and spiritual insights, catharsis, and healing. For millennia, artists and poets have been the visionaries whose work possesses the power to capture the full range of human experience, from the horrors of war to the ecstasy of transcendent love. The vision behind this collection is to create a vast wealth of powerful expression that is both deeply enmeshed in the specificity of history and at the same time, an enduring, crucial, human constant. The artists and poets chosen for this book create an intersectional, multi-generational poesis, from David Ferry, who is 96, to Adelaide Holden, 6. Each poem is paired with a visual work, creating an interweaving of human witness that grows exponentially as the book progresses. This is a book to return to over and over, not always starting at the beginning, but finding new vibrant pathways through its proliferating interconnections.

Some of the poets and artists in the book are Tom Sleigh, Rosanna Warren, Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Gail Mazur, Alan Shapiro, Roger Bonair-Agard, Elaine Equi, Mel Chin, Deborah Kass, Susan Bee, Michael Joaquin Grey, and Michael Rees.

Following are comments about the book: 

“This book is a joy, a rare marvel, a true feast for the senses.” – Rowan Ricardo Phillips, poet, author of Living Weapon, 2013 Whiting Award winner, and professor at Williams College

“Many spreads in this volume embody Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s belief that ‘as long as there is poetry, there will be an unknown, as long as there is an unknown there will be poetry,’ by pairing works of art and poetry that at first look may be unknowable, but create synergy that stole my consonants: “Ooooh!” The oldest and youngest poets bounce off each other eloquently—96-year-old David Ferry, National Book Award winner, paints a stark evocation of a Walker Evans photograph, while Grace MacNair so accurately describes ‘The starlings—/out-swung in sheets’ in ‘The Shape of Air.’ Go spend good time with this volume, as it artfully makes the unknown more knowable.” – Tina Kelley, poet, author of Rise Wildly, and winner of a 2003 Washington State Book Award and a staff Pulitzer Prize at The New York Times

Bemis Exhibition and Auction

The 2020 Bemis Exhibition and Auction

October 1 - 30th 2020

The Bemis Center For Conteemporary Art
724 S. 12th Street, Omaha, NE

Check out my new work for the auction:
"Woodman Tower Construction Transit"
3D Lenticular Media, w acrylic 
42 x32" 2020  (framed)
 
Mary Ann Strandell,



 
Art statement;
Every time I venture to Omaha, I search for the tower
marked WOODMAN. The urban core surrounds it.
It was more indelible after Alexander Payne's, About Schmidt.
The construction site rendered in ink, of the1971 structure 
is embedded into the layers of this 3d Lenticular Media. It is 
part of a long line of works that envelope my interest in unfolding 
the views of the subtext, the bones of time. There is memory 
imbued within the bones of the building, the place, the architecture 
that in and of itself has veracity. These time-drawings arc to reel
in the strength of what is becoming,  before our societal 
eyes have shaped it. There is a second construction site in the work. 
It is the famous World War I memorial in Kansas City.
My rendering of it reveals the inner construction, built in 1926. 
There are five additional tower buildings within the framework 
of this lenticular. Two of them are cell towers within the city 
limits of Omaha. These many drawings reverberate within the
mapping and geometric forms that interweave a nuanced grid. 
The optical lense surface of the lenticular allows the many layers 
to activate with the viewer's movement.

ARTPORT KINGSTON

Altered Presence
August 29- October 4th

ARTPORT KINGSTON
108 East Strand Street
Kingston, NY  12401




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life as we know it has been altered worldwide. What used to be “normal” had to change, we all had to adjust and still do. Life is about multi-tasking and adapting to whatever comes our way. Nature taught us the ability to germinate and grow under more or less adverse conditions so once more we learn how to reinvent ourselves constantly.
 
ArtPort’s exhibition “Altered Presence” explores the idea of transformation, from material, conceptual, mechanical or physical. Showing works that seem to alter their appearances, reshape their presence and react to their context.     
Curated by Director: Laurie DeChiara

Artists: Sophi Kravitz, Suzan Shutan, Mary Ann Strandell, Roxanne Faber Savage, Stefan Saffer, Jordan Tinker, Susan Jennings, Susan Rowe Harrison, Karlos Carcamo, Dan Devine,
Michelle Weinberg, Melinda Hackett and others

Gallery Open: Saturdays and Sunday 12-5pm or by appointment—-ArtStream Open: 24/7
We are taking safety precautions to keep our community safe to prevent the spread of COVID-19 



ArtPort is a newly established cultural space in the historic Cornell Steamboat Building along the Rondout Creek in Kingston, NY. ArtPort’s aim is to be a destination for art experiences and unconventional interaction between contemporary art and a wide range
of audiences. A family friendly platform for art exhibitions, performances, workshops and community gatherings.
ArtPort’s genesis illustrates why the endeavor is so unique. First came the Historic Kingston Waterfront Restoration Project, organized to create a Riverwalk destination
for locals and tourists along eight tenths of a mile of Rondout Creek waterfront. Then came the Fleet Obsolete Restoration project -- a not for profit organization dedicated to the restoration of historic WWII PT Boats at the Riverwalk. Both of these projects have been created to celebrate 400 years of maritime industry
legacy on the Rondout Creek.  Now the HKWR vision has grown to include ArtPort, arts programming inspired by the environmental, cultural and historical heritage of the Creek. ArtPort’s first public event opened the holiday season 2019 with a
festive exhibition “Snowflake Waltz”, a visual exploration celebrating the traditions of the winter holidays.  All are invited to come take a stroll through a world of trees
filled with unique decorations.  Artists and makers near and far are sharing their
creations to transform the Cornell Building into a magical wonderland.
