Showcasing creativity in wine making and the arts is a great combination.

SNITCH by Plurale is almost like an elusive exhibition: no easy answers are given. It is a short-circuit. It goes like: trap-art-what?-questions-no answers-what?-trap. Objects are placed in the space – their presence becoming a symbol, and yet there’s silence all around. We are left alone, required to confront them. It’s up to us to determine whether trap can really be art or it’s all bullshit, and this is all just mockery. In which case, of course, though of a different kind, it would be art no less. Short-circuit. https://lnkd.in/d-WPhZUA

Pleased to have supported on the comms strategy for the launch of Omenai Gallery, a hybrid, digital-physical model taking up its first physical space in Chicago's West town. ✨ Omenai, Inc, the gallery's parent company, was founded by Gbenro Adeyemo, who in 2021 launched the social media and editorial platform as a means of connecting African diasporic communities and democratising global access to contemporary African art. Collectors, artists and enthusiasts began engaing with the platform in novel ways, building circuits of trusts that would prompt Adeyemo to organically expand his mission into physical, exhibiting space. The move signals the importance of digital technology in transnational community building, and also presents new opportunities for cities, such as Chicago, to meaningfully and positively impact the ever-global, African art market. Presenting the works of Kwaku Osei Owusu Achim, in the artist's first ever solo exhibition, Omenai Gallery's inaugural exhibition opens to the public today.

I have selected this work for the offer "Behind the Masks of Utopian Joy", which will be held at Chili Art Gallery (13-15 Dimofontos Street, Thissio) from Thursday, 22 February to Saturday, 2 March 2024 and online via ARTgrid, for a month. I have four works to choose from. Two of them will be selected to be put on display during the exhibition. The works are available in 5 hand-signed prints on museum-quality materials. I'm very interested in the exhibition's theme: what's behind the overly optimistic masks. What do we use to mask or reveal our thoughts/feelings? 1. Grey Scarf 1.

The annual report of Asortymentna kimnata 2023 is out and in the first link. 16 exhibitions with over 152 exhibition days featuring works by 114 artists. 4 art books and 3 art residencies. Several transport missions of Ukrainian contemporary art to Europe and 2 exhibitions abroad. One School of Contemporary Art and one tailor made program for the artists affiliated with southern regions of Ukraine as well as for more connections between south in west inside the country. One important remark - in 2023 we were not evacuating any new art pieces, but we taking care for those which are staying in our shelter since 2022. From almost 1000 evacuated pieces we’ve got one third still in our shelter — those are mostly the pieces which do not have a place to come back. In 2023 we’ve also started to restore some of those pieces. Since spring 2023 we do not have external funding for the costs, connected with shelter, security and restoration. This is being financed from the own costs of the organization and/or from some smaller rests of overheads for other programs. We are still understuffed and lacking resources for institutional sustainability. But we are working on it and doing our best with what we have and where we are.

Abstract Art: What you need to know Our upcoming October exhibition is a celebration of abstract art (Ps. Register your interest in attending here: https://lnkd.in/egq2GKHs Some find abstract art liberating, appreciating its emotional depth and freedom of expression. Others might be confused to not see people, objects, or places, literally represented. THE HISTORY 👨🏼🎨 Abstract art emerged in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, diverging from traditional realism. Impressionism and Post-Impressionism set the rebellious tone. 👨🏼🎨 Visionaries like Kandinsky and Malevich propelled abstract art, including Cubism's geometric deconstruction and Kandinsky's pure abstraction. 👨🏼🎨 Abstract Expressionism by Pollock and Rothko surged with unrestrained, intuitive creations, revealing artists' subconscious. ABSTRACT ART TODAY 👨🏼🎨 Today, abstract art thrives via digital mediums and conceptual innovation. It invites emotional connection, transcending literal boundaries. 👨🏼🎨 Abstract art fosters personal ties, encourages creativity, and reflects cultural shifts. Its boundless expression embodies the human imagination's essence.

👏🏽😃🎉 Excited to be the juror for this upcoming exhibition at Strata Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Call for entry is on their website. Link in comments. This juried exhibition will feature artworks centered upon the concept of selfhood. It will consider how selfhood is constructed, altered, and reimagined. Contemporary artists investigate the multiplicitous nature of selfhood: gender, sexual orientation, race, class, age, ethnicity, and so forth. Artworks may consider selfhood outside the traditional Western views of self. Selfhood, as a dichotomy, can reflect cultural norms and be a source of resistance to them. Navigating selfhood during disruptive times can lead to crossroads of crisis; thereby, artists may present visualizations of selfhood that explore the process of self-discovery, self-definition, and self-direction.
