<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The genius of <b><i>Ray
Grist</i></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> is his ability
to combine his influences – from Miro, Picasso, Cezanne, and Kandinsky – into a
wholly new form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also takes
inspiration from African traditions and Black American artists Hale Woodruff and
Romare Bearden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But whether he is
working in the expressive non-objective to contemporary still life and
landscape, his dynamic us of form and color give his paintings a remarkable
quality of aliveness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His canvases
and prints fairly vibrate with what can only be called “spirit,” so that the
viewer has the impression that the work is animate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<b>Lauren Chenault -
</b>Upon graduation Lauren Chenault
treated herself to a camera and was quickly smitten by the photo bug. Her focus
is landscapes, the ocean, and beach.
Lauren says, “it's calming here (the beach) and I feel that I can never
take the same photo twice.” Lauren grew up in north Massapequa. She says, “I want to be the best that I can, and stand out from the
rest.” Lauren has not formally studied photography, but is mostly self-taught. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>Anthony
Barboza</b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> was born 1944 in
New Bedford, Massachusetts, with roots originating from Cape Verde, Barboza’s
wide-ranging traditional and innovative works have been exhibited in public and
private galleries, museums and educational institutions worldwide. He is well
known for his photographs of jazz musicians during the 1970's - 80's. He
says,“When I do a portrait, I’m doing a photograph of how that person feels to
me; how I feel about the person, not how they look. I find that in order for
the portraits to work, we have to make a mental connection as well as an
emotional one.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Barboza’s work

Louisiana. He studied painting at
the University of New Orleans, and was awarded a scholarship to l’Ecole

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Alugas works
with ideas from myths and folklore, arts and philosophy and the concrete
elements of painting: the canvas, gesso, paint, the brushstroke, and splashes
of paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each painting, or series
of paintings, is an essay, or meditation, which explores both its subject
matter and the very nature of the painting materials. Each calls for, shatters,
pushes and pulls against the other, like strands woven to form a tapestry of
meaning. The result is a painting, a concept to be read. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Shawn Walker
says, “Coming from the urban realism of The Ashcan School, my newest portfolio
works to move my inner vision of the world around me into reality; to make the
invisible visible. I seek to reveal what is usually hidden - to manifest rather
than to create. Following from the Be-Bop artists like Monk, Bird and Miles,
from the works of Fellini and Antonioni, and from the cubists and abstract
expressionists, I am developing a surrealist modernist view drawn from an
African aesthetic, advancing the legacy of Romare Bearden, Charles White and
Jacob Lawrence.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;">The Omni Contemporary Art Gallery, Ray Grist, proprietor, is dedicated to presenting high quality paintings, prints, photographs, and sculpture, to the communities in Nassau County, NY. Galleries in Chelsea, Soho, Williamsburg, The Hamptons do not have a monopoly on where collectors and potential collectors can see and purchase fine art.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f6f6f6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;">
In addition, Omni Contemporary is creating opportunities to the many well-established and accomplished artists who might not have access or representation in the galleries in New York City or the North Fork of Long Island. As well Omni Contemporary welcomes new artists whose works maintain the high quality we recognise.<o:p></o:p></div>

A blog by Ray Grist.<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ERIC ALUGAS</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">Eric Alugas was born and raised in <u></u><u></u>New Orleans<u></u>, <u></u>Louisiana<u></u><u></u>. He studied painting at the <u></u>University<u></u> of <u></u>New Orleans<u></u>, and was awarded a scholarship to l’Ecole Nationale Superieur des Beaux Arts, in <u></u>Montpellier<u></u> and <u></u><u></u>Paris<u></u>, <u></u>France<u></u><u></u>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">He lived in <u></u>Paris<u></u> for many years, exhibiting there and throughout Europe, before returning to the <u></u><u></u>United States<u></u><u></u>. He now lives in <u></u>New York<u></u>, and exhibits there, as well as in Europe, and throughout the <u></u><u></u>United States<u></u><u></u>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u></u><span style="color: black;"> </span><u></u><u></u><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Alugas works through ideas from Myths and Folklore, the Arts and Philosophy, (e.g. <u>Built For Comfort</u> : Willie Dixon in California; <u> Image</u>: a meditation on Roland Barthes; <u>Embers</u> : from Malcolm X's speeches ; <u>Night Scene III </u> <u>:</u> from Richard Wright's short stories & Malcolm X's speeches, <u>Tears</u> : on Frederick Douglass; <u>Forceful...</u> : thoughts on our society; <u>Sweet </u>: to Lorraine Hansberry; <u>Blackboard...</u> : Plato's cave) and the concrete elements of Painting— the canvas, gesso, paint, the brushstroke, splashes of paint.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u></u> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">He probes those elements: their material use, and the history of their use, i.e. ideas associated with, and permeating them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">Each painting, or series of paintings, is an essay, or meditation, which explores both its subject matter and the very nature of the painting materials: each calls for, shatters, pushes and pulls against the other. They are strands woven to form a tapestry of meaning. The result is a painting, a concept - to be read. His paintings are Historical Painting in the profoundest sense: dealing with the encounter of the history of the painting materials, and the Idea, in the history of painting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Arial; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The works are executed in oil paint, some with mixed media, on heavy free hanging canvas, suspended by metal grommets. In Alugas’s work the canvas is as prevalent and integral as the gesso, the gesso as the paint, and the paint as the wall.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">A Brief History<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Kamoinge,
Inc. was founded as a collective of African-American photographers seeking
artistic equality and empowerment. It works as a forum in which members view,
nurture, critique and challenge each other’s work in an honest and
understanding atmosphere. In 1963, two groups of New York based, African
American photographers held a joint meeting. One group was Group 35, which
included James Ray Francis, Adger W. Cowans, Louis Draper, Herman Howard, Earl
James and Calvin Mercer. The other group included Herbert Randall, Albert
Fennar, Shawn Walker, and James Mannas. Out of this meeting came the Kamoinge
Workshop. The name derives from the Gikuyu language of Kenya and means ‘a group
of people acting together.’
Photographers Roy DeCarava, Larry Stewart and Melvin Mills were
important catalysts for the group’s early development with DeCarava, a
philosophical and artistic innovator, voted the first director of Kamoinge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In
1965, the group opened the Kamoinge Gallery in a brownstone on West 137<sup>th</sup>
Street. The activities in the new space included numerous group exhibitions,
rigorous and constructive critiques of photographs and portfolios, frequent
visitors and guest speakers. Early guests included: Peter Magubane, a
photojournalist from South Africa; John Szarkowski, Director of Photography at
the Museum of Modern Art; Langston Hughes, playwright and Poet Laureate of
Harlem (who was a guest at a few Kamoinge meetings); Henri Cartier-Bresson, the
important French photojournalist; and R. E. Martinez, publisher of <i>Camera</i></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">, an influential Swiss photo magazine. Since the
founding of Kamoinge, its members have participated in hundreds of individual
and group exhibitions in major national and international artistic institutions
too numerous to name. Kamoinge members have published scores of photographic
books and portfolios, all concerned with the truth, insight and integrity of
both the subject and artistic process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Kamoinge
is the most longstanding group of creative professional photographers existing
in America to date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Based
in New York City, Kamoinge has met continuously since 1963 under the leadership
of creative and active directors including Anthony Barboza, Roy DeCarava, Louis
Draper and Beuford Smith. Individually, the members lecture, conduct seminars,
teach in universities and work in fine art photography, commercial photography,
motion pictures, and video. Current active members include Salimah Ali, Anthony
Barboza (President), Mark Lee Blackshear, Spencer Burnett, Adger W. Cowans (Vice-President),
Gerald Cyrus, C. Daniel Dawson, Albert Fennar, Collette V. Fournier, Russell K.
Frederick, Ronald Herard, Toni Parks, John Pinderhughes, Herb Randall, Eli
Reed, Herb Robinson (Treasurer), Radcliffe Roye, Darryl Sivad, Ming Smith
Murray, Frank Stewart, June Truesdale, Shawn Walker and Budd Williams. The

Herb Robinson has been documenting the human experience as a
New York based photographer for over 40 years. From early on, the great Roy De
Carava was a seminal influence that encouraged him in his work. Herb also
studied and absorbed the work of such painters as Chardin and Vermeer who
influenced his composition and use of light. Music - jazz in
particular - has been an important influence on Herb's working style.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Herb
says, "My instrument is the camera, the vessel that responds to and
carries my emotions. These 8 photographs are a continuation of my <i>Still Life
Figure Series,</i></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> started a few decades ago, as homage to the beauty of
the human form. No other species possesses such complexities of line, form,
texture and movement.</span><!--EndFragment-->

<div class="p2">
Coming from the urban realism of The Ashcan School, my newest portfolio</div>
<div class="p2">
works to move my inner vision of the world around me into reality; to make</div>
<div class="p2">
the invisible visible. I seek to reveal what is usually hidden - to manifest</div>
<div class="p2">
rather than to create. Following from the Be-Bop artists like Monk, Bird and</div>
<div class="p2">
Miles, from the works of Fellini and Antonioni, and from the cubists and</div>
<div class="p2">
abstract expressionists, I am developing a surrealist modernist view drawn</div>
<div class="p2">
from an African aesthetic, advancing the legacy of Romare Bearden,</div>
<div class="p2">
Charles White and Jacob Lawrence.</div>
<div class="p2">
Here the walls, sidewalks and streets themselves are the subject matter, as</div>
<div class="p2">
they reveal the spirits within; the spirits that called to our ancestors to</div>
<div class="p2">
create the traditional rituals that I celebrate in my earlier work. I see myself</div>
<div class="p2">
not as religious but as spiritualist. My large collection of African</div>
<div class="p2">
masks/”primitive” objects and my study and knowledge of the Black/African</div>
<div class="p2">
aesthetic provided the impetus for this series.</div>
<div class="p2">
Other photographs within the series harken to the universe, to exploding</div>
<div class="p2">
stars and super novas. These move inward towards neutrons and protons</div>
<div class="p2">
and outward towards galaxies. In the tradition of the Dogon who first</div>
<div class="p2">
recognized and incorporated the movement and significance of the stars</div>
<div class="p2">
into their everyday lives, I am trying to connect the spiritual with the</div>
<div class="p2">
concrete, looking at the concealed universes around us.</div>
<div class="p2">
The magic of photography allows the photographer to give voice to his</div>
<div class="p2">
alchemist self. This series uses light to give rise to the painter within the</div>
<div class="p2">
photographer. Consistent with my previous work, however, all of these</div>
<div class="p2">
images are “found images”. They are not digitally created or re-organized,</div>
<div class="p2">
only enhanced. They pull through the multi-layering within the existing</div>
<div class="p2">
reality to reveal the significance within the common place. The viewers</div>
<div class="p2">
must interact with these shapes and colors to find their own interpretation</div>
<div class="p2">
of what exists: to find, if you wish, their own spirits.</div>
<div class="p2">
I see part of my responsibility as a photographic artist to broaden the</div>
<div class="p2">
perspective of our craft to present views of the world others might not have</div>
<div class="p2">
seen or considered. I am trying to move my art form forward.</div>

<b><i>BE-BOP/IMPROVISATIONS</i></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
These images reflect my work as a photo-journalist/street photographer, as I give</div>
<div class="p1">
expression to my more surrealist fine-art voice. These are all analog images that have</div>
<div class="p1">
been “found” – neither computer generated or enhanced nor super-impositions done</div>
<div class="p1">
in the darkroom. I am attempting to document the “parallel universes” that we</div>
<div class="p1">
confront every day but often do not see.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The series deals with reflective surfaces. I am interested in the multi-layering of</div>
<div class="p1">
collage art and how the interplay of the layers influences the interpretation of their</div>
<div class="p1">
individual meaning and the viewer’s understanding of the whole image. I am</div>
<div class="p1">
attempting to emulate what the classical be-bop musicians like Bird, Diz, Monk,</div>
<div class="p1">
Trane and Miles did: taking basic, common themes and re-working them/improvising</div>
<div class="p1">
on them.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I am presenting visual images in new rhythmic and harmonic formulations,</div>
<div class="p1">
improvising with how many layers I capture. My multi-dimensional images include</div>
<div class="p1">
glass, the background within it, the focal plane and planes behind the camera.</div>
<div class="p1">
Sometimes one or more of these planes have additional reflected elements that</div>
<div class="p1">
multiply the complexity. They incorporate both an image and a process, with a 2-D</div>
<div class="p1">
perspective that follows into the distance and an enhanced 3-D dimensionality. The</div>
<div class="p1">
viewer adds the final dimension in this process – as (s)he brings a personal</div>
<div class="p1">
interaction with all of these elements, resolves the initial confusion and sees the</div>
<div class="p1">
common-place in a new way.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
A master black-and-white printer, I started to work in sepia in the 1970’s*. Sepia</div>
<div class="p1">
gave additional depth when photographing people of color, and the warm tones</div>
<div class="p1">
provided another element in my visual statements, giving me a new excitement about</div>
<div class="p1">
my work. When I lost access to my darkroom and moved to commercial processing, I</div>
<div class="p1">
found that using a dye-silver process film (Kodak C-41) on color paper gave me a</div>
<div class="p1">
sepia option that further enhanced the project.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Be-Bop/Improvisation is one of my on-going projects.</div>

Anthony Barboza was born 1944 in New Bedford,
Massachusetts. He is an
African-American photographer, historian, artist and writer. With roots
originating from Cape Verde, and work that began in commercial art over forty
years ago, Barboza’s artistic talents and successful career helped him to cross
over and pursue his passions in the fine arts where he continues to contribute
to the American cultural scene.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Barboza has a prolific and wide range of both traditional
and innovative works that have been exhibited in public and private galleries,
prestigious museums and educational institutions worldwide. He is well known
for his photographic work of Jazz musicians from the 70's - 80's. Barboza
says,“When I do a portrait, I’m doing a photograph of how that person feels to
me; how I feel about the person, not how they look. I find that in order for
the portraits to work, they have to make a mental connection as well as an
emotional one. When they do that, I know I have it.” Many of his photographs
achieve his signature effect through the careful use of lighting and shadows,
manipulation of the backdrop, measured adjustments to shutter speeds,
composition, and many other techniques and mediums at his command.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times;">started as a photography at the age of 14 with his father, an avid </span>amateur photographer. He studied with Ralph Hattersley (Columbia University), Lizette Model (New School for Social Research), and Paul Caponegro (New York University/ Graduate Institute of Film and Television). Dawson worked as a medical photographer at the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry where he developed his craft under Marshall Taub, the Chief Medical Photographer. At NYU, Dawson also studied the history of photography under John Szarkowski and Peter Bunnell, who were at the time the curators of photography at the Museum of Modern Art (NYC). While in film school he met Louis Draper, one of the founding members of Kamoinge, a pioneering group of African American photographers founded in 1963. Dawson was later asked to join the group in 1970. In 1971 he was awarded a CAP Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, in 1978 a CETA Grant from the Cultural Council Foundation (NYC), and in 1984 an independent grant to photograph in Brazil. As a photographer, he has been published in numerous books and magazines and has shown in over 35 exhibitions. </div>

Carnival is one of Brazil’s most well known cultural activities, especially the celebrations of the <i>Escolas da Samba</i> in Rio de Janeiro and the <i>Bloco Afros</i> in Salvador, Bahia, but there are numerous other important festivals throughout the country. Little known outside of the state of Maranhão, <i> Bumba-Meu-Boi</i> is non the less one of the most impressive cultural manifestations of the African Diaspora. The name ‘Bumba-Meu-Boi’ can mean ‘Bang! Pow! Wham! My Bull.’ In its’ contemporary form, it is a spectacular celebration that fuses African, Amerindian and European elements in a swirling colorful display. Brazilians often point to this fusion as illustrating their national ethos and the blending of the races in their country. Unfortunately, that description of creolization, as is the case with <i>capoeira</i> and <i>samba</i>, tends to obscure or devalue an originating African influence.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ethnomusicologist Kazadi wa Mukuna has shown that Bumba-Meu-Boi was created in the São Francisco river valley in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco in the 17<sup>th</sup> Century and later spread to other parts of Brazil. Enslaved Africans working in the area’s sugar plantations and mills created it to ridicule their colonial masters. Makuna presents a quote from 1861 in which Bumba-Meu-Boi is described as “the stupid and immoral merrymaking of slaves.” (The description above was extracted from <i>Rhythms of Resistance: African Musical Heritage in Brazil</i> by Peter Fryer, which is a scholarly classic on Brazilian music.) The basic plot tells the story of the birth, growth, death and resurrection of a prize bull on the plantation of a Portuguese owner. A slave, Pai Francisco, killed the bull so that his pregnant wife, Mãe Catarina, could satisfy her craving for the tongue of an ox. After exhausting the abilities of western medicine and science, they call in an Amerindian healer who successfully resurrects the bull.</div>

The different styles of bumba are designated as <i>soltaques</i> or accents. Although the exact date of its creation is unknown, the earliest style of bumba was <i>Boi de Zabumba</i>, the most African form. The types of instruments used in Zabumba and manner of playing them indicate a musical origin in the traditions of Central Africa. Boi de Zabumba was later imitated and modified to emphasize other ethnic identities. The <i>Boi de Matraca</i> style, created around 1868, stresses an Amerindian or indigenous cultural contribution. Central to this style are the <i>Caboclos da Pena</i> (Indians of the Feather), figures dressed in huge feathered costumes, representing Amerindian shamans with the power to heal. The most prominent musical instruments are the <i>matracas</i>, large hardwood clappers. The most recent style, <i>Boi de Orquestra</i>, originated in 1952 and stressed European costumes, choreography, instruments and musical styles.</div>

The Bumba-Meu-Boi Photography Project was started in 1999. It grew out of an older Brazilian project, which began in 1983 and was formalized in 1984 with a grant from Arthur Ashe and Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe. The earliest images were taken using Canon and Leica film cameras, and Kodak and Fuji transparency films. These analog film images were later scanned using an ICG 380 vertical drum scanner at the Advanced Media Studio at New York University. Starting in 2005 all the photographs were taken with Canon digital cameras. John Pinderhughes made the prints for this exhibit on Canson Platine Fiber Rag paper using a Canon 5100 digital printer. A larger selection Bumba-Meu-Boi photographs were shown in 2011 at the Brazilian Endowment for the Arts (NYC) in a group exhibition, <i>Between Light and Shadow: Aspects of Brazilian Popular Culture</i>, curated by </div>

Frances Alenikoff was a trailblazing dancer and choreographer who created her own unique style and form of contemporary dance. Frances' creative curiosity led her beyond dance and movement. She employed her sensibility as a visual artist in arranging her choreography, and used multi-media in her performance early on, during the late 1960's, 70's, and 80's. Her influence was wide spread.<br />
<br />
This video is just a very brief sampling of a scant few of her performance.<br />

A blog by Ray Grist.From 1977 until 1979, while living in Charneca da Caparica, Portugal, I created a portfolio of lino cuts. I did these lino cuts as morning and evening meditations. Along with the prints I wrote a series of Haiku poetry, in both English and Portuguese. The portfolio contains 6 lino cuts and 11 Haiku, 5 in Portuguese and 6 in English.

She is widely anthologized and has four collections of poems. Her plays have been performed internationally as well as national. Rashida reads her poetry solo and with musical instrumentation. Much of what she read with musical accompaniment is to the jazz of the late 1950’s, 60’s, up until the 1990’s. Originally from West Africa, Dr. AbuBakr has taught French and English Speaking African Writers, Literature of the African Diaspora. She was a part of the Black Arts Movement of the 60’s in New York. She is an art and culture critic and has published essays on Langston Hughes and Mariama Ba.<br /><br />During 2005 I produced a video of Rashida reading from her collection of poems, “Magic Music.” This video consisted of Rashida reading several of her poems with musical accompaniment and photos, some by the photographer, Shawn Walker.</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > In the selection above Rashida reads "Ode to an Old Piano," her dedication to Bud Powell.<br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Ray Grist</span><br /></span><br /></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-V-ucZuWmazpL0kVamvdS0uohx1En-3PEWhP9uBymKiSjjLo2nuwfZLKm5DCY62QGYYX9UVh6ZKAcdHXEv2W1Y2-a6OZ8x_-craRzsaf8mb6QOPoUe5CbCE2cQ8eZSecHt4DMP7njdpwk/s1600-h/Blue+a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263730426074632258" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 280px; cursor: pointer; height: 301px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-V-ucZuWmazpL0kVamvdS0uohx1En-3PEWhP9uBymKiSjjLo2nuwfZLKm5DCY62QGYYX9UVh6ZKAcdHXEv2W1Y2-a6OZ8x_-craRzsaf8mb6QOPoUe5CbCE2cQ8eZSecHt4DMP7njdpwk/s320/Blue+a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">ANYTHING WITH FABRIC</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br /><a href="http://www.brendacolling.com">Brenda C</a></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" ><a href="http://www.brendacolling.com"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">olling</span></span></a><br /></span></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">I asked Brenda what she did, when we met the first time.

Cowans, H. Glenn Bennett, Ray Grist, Charles Searles, David Hammons, and Luther E. Vann. Each issue of <span style="font-style: italic;">JUMP</span> featured one of these artists as the lead article. The rest of the publication presented a variety of articles, features and columns, which expressed an incidence of happenings, exchanges and/or events in the contemporary ART world. <span style="font-style: italic;">JUMP TV</span> continued the format of <span style="font-style: italic;">JUMP - A Forum of New </span><span style="font-style: italic;">World Culture,</span> featuring an artist for half of the program. The remaining half offered a similar variety of articles. I produced 65 shows of <span style="font-style: italic;">JUMP TV</span>, which were aired on a continuous basis on MNN.<br />
<br />
In this new medium, the Blog, I can <span style="color: red; font-style: italic;">JUMP again</span> – continuing to offer exposure to some of the lesser known and under recognized, yet significant artists of our day. This opportunity offers even wider promise than print or TV. Here, print and video can be combined with even more possibilities – music, speech, color, animation, etc.<br />

The exhibition is shared with works by Perci Chester.<br />
<br />
The opening reception was also an <span style="font-style: italic;">Art for Obama</span> event. A portion of the sales was donated to the campaign to have Barack Obama elected as the next USA President.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 78%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 100%;">"Bountiful" clay wall sculpture - Barbara Delany<br /><br /><br /><br />The exhibition featured Barbara Delany’s ceramic and mixed media (ceramic with found objects) wall hangings. I was very much impressed and pleased to see and experience these works.<br /><br />This was a very rare event since Mrs. Delany does not show her works very often. In fact, this was the first time I have seen her pieces. My impression is that her works manifest a high degree of formal and aesthetic sophistication. Mrs. Delany delves into her pieces with a need to explore and realize the strongest and fullest possibilities that each demands. Often she will take a hammer to a piece, not to destroy, but to re-arrange, to open up even more possibilities.

In doing so, I discover exciting new shapes and forms among the broken pieces which, when rearranged or combined with found objects suggest an idea for a new sculpture. These new sculptures become reinterpretations, the result of a renewed and altered vision of each work as recombine its parts.”<br /></span><span style="font-size: 100%;">As I’ve said, I was delighted and inspired by the works of </span><span style="font-size: 100%;">Barbara Delany.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />During the last 15 or so years I have worked closely with Edson “Café” DaSilva. “Café” is a renowned percussionist from Sao Paolo, Brazil. He has worked with, and performed with many internationally renowned musicians, such as, Harry Belafonte, Herbie Mann, Djavan, Chico Buarque, Roberta Flack, Quincy Jones, David Byrne, Mick Jagger, and a long list more. We have produced a DVD video “Ancestors,” which features the trio, “Folia de Reis” – Salvador “Dom Salvador” DaSilva, Milciades “Cidinho” Teixiera, and “Café”. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVz30xTEIgw">Follow the link </a>for one tune from the DVD “Ancestors – Folia de Reis.”<br /><br />I am Ray Grist.
