RIP Aldwyth, brilliant visionary artist. Much thanks to @curiosocurator Mark Sloan for bringing her to a wider audience (and for bringing us together 25+ years ago in a show at @halsey_institute in Charleston). Please seek out Olympia Stone’s wonderful documentary “Aldwyth: Fully Assembled” to get a sense of her work and life. Thanks also to @penelopegreen1 for two stories in the @nytimes
Big thanks to Joe and Susan of @pierogigalleryreal for including my work in the two fabulous shows Open Book(s) and Pierogi Flat Files @manacontemporary #bookart #artistsbooks #pierogigallery #orianestender
Pierogi's traveling Flat Files are on the road again and will be on view at Mana Contemporary Jersey City for an extended stay. They will house portfolios of original works by 350 artists with a selection of works displayed in the gallery. Access and participation, on the part of both artists and viewers, was the original and remains the central idea of the Pierogi Flat Files. One of the goals is to demystify the art viewing process by allowing people to view a large and eclectic group of original artworks in portfolios. The viewer becomes a participant in this interactive curatorial project, relying on their own confidence and discretion. With this exhibition, we hope to broaden the viewing experience and to bring the audience back to an in-person, visceral viewing where they can see and hold original artworks in hand.

I can’t believe Tony has left us. Even though I know he’s had health issues he seemed immortal. Really, what a guy. He was always very supportive of me. We traded work and I was so honored to get the original Firecat as one of the pieces in our trade. #tonyfitzpatrick @tonyfitzpatrick9 RIP Tony.

In CONTEXT: Art, Books, & Freedom, artist and curator Meg Hitchcock brings together 15 artists whose work incorporates books and text. The artists diverge in their approach and content, from social commentary to political statement to literary allusion, but their common ground is their love of the printed word. The artists use books and text as tools of investigation, exploring the psychological impact of visual language while pushing the boundaries of our freedom to express views that diverge from popular opinion. Paradoxically, the book is used as a means to question its own authority within the context of a revered liberal arts library. Indeed, the artists’ works take on new meaning at Columbia University, where they exercise the freedom of expression at a critical time and place in our nation’s history.
