Studio Montclair’s 17th Annual Open Juried Exhibition, “ViewPoints 2014,” features the work of one hundred national and international artists reflecting the diversity of interests and concerns that characterize art and life today. The exhibition will run from June 4 to 28, 2014, at Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art, the exhibition co-sponsor, located at 591 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. An opening reception and award ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 6-9pm.
Referring to a description of the current art world as a "massive tapestry interwoven with the threads of many artists," juror Sue Scott, independent curator, writer, art consultant and founder of Sue Scott Gallery, says this exhibition "offers the opportunity to understand just how pulsating, alive, and varied this tapestry is." With artists from Montclair and many NJ towns well represented, the exhibit also features artists from the 16 other states and one from the United Kingdom. The juror has done a remarkable job in assembling varied viewpoints which use a vast variety of mediums, from traditional oil on canvas and photography, to glass, iron, digital photos, collage, concrete, found objects, yarn and fabric. There are constructions and deconstructions, intensely personal works and those that make environmental statements. The show is a must see to engage your point of view!
Featured artists: Cary Africk, Christine Anderson, Danielle Austen, Lisa Bagwell, Rob Barth, Amy Becker, Bartosz Beda, John Bendel, Michael Benevenia, Federico Bianchi, Brad Birchett, Jennifer Breitenstein, Lynne Buschman, Kirsten Campbell, Kathy Cantwell, Curtis Cascagnette, Nora Chavooshian, Robin Clark, John Cleary, Zach Collins, Donna Conklin King, Pam Cooper, Patricia Cudd, Lynda D’Amico, Jean Davey Winter, Doug Depice, Matthew Derezinski, Kurt Dyrhaug, Laura Elkins, Roshanak Elmendorf, Eileen Erbeck, Noel Farese, Jodie Fink, Connie Freid, Bennett Gewirtz, Allan Gorman, Orna Greenberg, Jack Gron,Kate Hamilton, Lannie Hart, Colin Hathaway, Micãl Hernãindez, Elizabeth Herrmann, Alice Jacob, Paul Jervis, Michael Burris Johnson, Michael Kellner, Gina Kingsley, Alexandra Kirtley, Richard Koch, Neal Korn, Taehyub Lee, Wendy Letven, Eric Levin, Colleen Lineberry, Elaine Longtemps, Manuel Macarrulla, Dave Magyar, Bonnie Maranz, Rose Materdomini, Hildy Maze, Dan McCormack, Apryl Miller, Paul Mordetsky, Maureen O’Leary, Lisa Ocasio Hirkaler, Anne Oshman, Daniel Pailes-Friedman, Arthur Paxton, Christopher Priority, Lisa Redburn, William Dean Reynolds, Gregg Rosen, Judy Row, Anthony Santella, Katia Setzer, Beverly Shipko, Jim Shirey, Don Sichler, Srujana Sinha, Britt Snyder, Katherine Stanek, Margie Steinman, Brian Stymest, Abie Sussman, John Szabo, Nishiki Tayui, Michael Teters, Katie Truk, Miriam Untoria, William Waggoner, Danielle Wagner, Anne Wedler, Jenny Wiener, Eric Williams, Margaret Withers, David Witten, Christine Wuenschel, Tony Zaza, and Fotios Zemenides.
