Partitions PARTITIONS

MAR 7th - APR 6th 2014

PARTITION is a way to isolate, physically or emotionally.
A change of a border, separating a territory considered a homeland by the affected community.  According to the political definition, it is done by diplomatic means or the use of military force.  In many historical instances, partitions are decided away from the scene, by people not affected. The consequences of such partitions have long-term consequences. Isolation, chaos, and violence have stemmed from such partitions. This exhibition explores partitions, their causes, and unintended consequences. The artwork displayed depicts the feelings and frustrations of people living isolated or under attack as the result of such partitions.

"Crossing Borders" by Mary Woodworth
by Mary Woodworth
The Flight by Mary Wadsworth

The collection on view at the Missing Peace Art Gallery entitled "Crossing Borders" comprises linoleum cut relief prints from work that I have created over the last decade or more. Using images from African-American and Latino experience, Shamanistic and indigenous religion, and contemporary life I create images that viewers associate with dreams. Individually and together they suggest narratives of suffering, liberation, and consolation. Crossing borders suggests new ways of being, seeing, and ways to tell the story. The diverse and common iconography is deeply connected both to my own personal journey of struggle and understanding and to the paths of many others and of many different communities.

Inside Out ~ Aug 5, 2013
Inside Out is a global participatory art project initiated by the award-winning artist JR to pay tribute to the power and dignity of individuals by displaying their portraits in public spaces around the world. People share their untold stories and transform messages of personal identity into works of public art. Inside
Out aims to move beyond the political debate and illustrate that the number of 11 million undocumented people represents real human stories.
The public art project demonstrates the diversity and unity of people that can call America home.
The project was traveling the country and Dayton was chosen as one of the 20 stops- most are other larger cities (Sacramento, New York, Chicago.



Lamentation by Marcia Bernstein It is for Peace  Jorge Pickett
Marcia Bernstein is a native New Yorker. Her works are mixed media wall sculptures.
A desire for varied materials and textures led her from painting to mixed media.  

These works are composed of both “found” materials and those that are handmade. Many contemporary artists now incorporate into their work materials from the “non–art world”.  Here such materials as wood, metal, wire, plaster, cardboard, paper, rope and acrylic paint are recycled and transformed into an aesthetic piece. 

Unframed, this removes any barrier between the work and the viewer
May
2013
The work of the mexican artist, Jorge Pickett, based in Copenhagen.

His background as an artist with a well developed career has shaped his ability to approach  different materials he encounters from various angles. Since the early 90′s he has developed a fascination for experimenting with diverse materials which has been an ongoing passion ever since.

Estimates of civilian casualties over the course of the war range from 8,768 to 28,360. Using a military formula that one civilian death creates ten new enemies, we have created between 87,680 and 283,600 new enemies.

In Windows anirr, t<more here> he eyes of artists and children become “windows” through which we see the reality of war. They also become “mirrors” reflecting back to us our own identity as a nation at war.

Always the Unintended Suffer War
 
“One Life - A Call to Consciousness”

April 6th, 2012
through May 6th
 

Kevin McKelvy is an artist from Southwest Missouri.

He had an idea to present two images in one piece that would change as the viewing perspective changed. The first such attempt would feature Presidents Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln.  Two originals were blended into one unique piece of art.

That piece ultimately led to the entire series he now refers to as “One Life - A Call to Consciousness”. Sixteen originals that were created to produce eight blended visions of social, political and religious icons from around the globe.

"A Show Of Respect"
by artist Helen Broadfoot,
www.helenbroadfoot.com
is a body of work painted for the children of war.
This exhibition is comprised of ten large oil paintings. It underscores the violation of these children’s basic human rights. Each painting depicts a child from a different country and chronicles ways that war effects children. Children die, children are forced to become soldiers, children are captured and sold into brothels and children are displaced and spend their young lives (often their whole lives) as refugees.

A major component of each piece is the inclusion of one of the articles of "The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights".
These articles are painted on the canvas in the language of the child depicted in the painting.
Beside each painting in the exhibit is the translation of the article into English as well as the inspiration for the painting itself.

*this exhibition is available for loan.
Contact MPAS for details.
THIS EXHIBITION CAN CURRENTLY BE VIEWED ONLINE HERE.

Drawing Paradise on the Axis of Evil
"PRE-WAR ART" by UK Artist Emily Johns

"The “war artist” documents the process of war, and comments on the aftermath of war.
This project is “pre-war art” - an equivalent process for a conflict that I hope may never take place.
It deals with the themes that a war artist might deal with, but in a period of tension rather than after the outbreak of hostilities.
My approach has been from the perspective of British relations with Persia and the intertwining of histories."

" Know Justice Know Peace "  Sept 4th through Oct 12th 2009
Max Ginsburg

 His work is suffused with the energy of the city and it’s people: its vendors, its protestors, its athletes, and musicians. The power of his work stems from both his belief in the immediacy of a shared, realistic viewpoint and his strong belief in humanism. His work explores issues of class, race, and gender and in recent years has gone on to examine more subtle relationships within society, such as the way we care for our elderly, our young, and in the wake of 9/11, notions of patriotism.
*(from his bio.)
