Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Display, the title of the exhibition, echoes the context or intent of an object and how it can shift when placed in varying spaces; but it’s really all one display,” says Anne Currier. “Showing my work as the Langley H. Kenzie Award recipient is part of a series of year-long positive coincidences. The Burchfield
Penney’s support of craft-based media, exhibiting in its Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery and earning a collaborative grant to design tile walls with Boston Valley Terra Cotta is a confluence that transformed 2017 into a miracle for me.”

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

“Much of my work is derived from human interaction. Imagine making an impression in the sand from sitting on the beach, getting up and seeing the residual shape formed,” describes Currier. “I also remember being inspired watching a couple do Tai Chi, intrigued by the physical call and response of their hand gestures.”

Drawing some inspiration from nature’s palette observed from her Allegany County home and studio, Currier creates surfaces reminiscent of mottled boulders, slate and rust, as well as intangible fog.

Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Display has been curated by Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections & Charles Cary Rumsey Curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State.

THE HEALING POWER OF SOUND
Description:
Even though the history of sound healing goes back to ancient times, experiencing Sonic Reiki for the first time feels like it is out of this world and yet so comforting. The most basic Universal law is that Everything is Vibration. When you understand this law, you are given the tools to help change the world for the better – both for your own health and the health of the world; and to be able to better resonate with aspects of nature, Spirit and the Universe.

Benefits are a stress release, enhances energy flow, helps relieve pain, helps you to focus, lowers blood pressure raises oxygen levels. When energy flows we look younger and feel better. Donations are welcome!
Instructors: Linda Sylvester, S.R.M.T and Tom Burakowski R.M.

About The Vintage Jazz Collective
Catering to the Lindy Hop, Blues, and Balboa dance communities, the Vintage Jazz Collective brings to light rare collections of swing music straight from the jazz era. Each tour they perform hand-selected favorites from a different collection curated by a band leader of the swing era.

For 2018-19, our small jazz ensemble will be debuting the collection of George Manning. Many of Manning’s charts are original arrangements that have been out of print for over 80 years!

George Manning was a Rochester-based band leader, and his vast collection of charts was donated to the Eastman School of Music a decade ago. It consists of eleven boxes of musical arrangements, direct from the largest swing music publishing companies of the swing era.

For the 2018-19 touring season, the Vintage Jazz Collective has selected the most danceable arrangements from the collection to perform for you! Hidden in this archive of early swing music, we’ve unearthed some gems that showcase the breadth of the musical repertoire and the evolution of swing music as we know it.

Come on out and enjoy an evening of some of the best local gypsy jazz inspired music to celebrate Django Reinhardt’s 108th Birthday. Django Reinhardt (1910 – 1953) is the originator of what we commonly call gypsy jazz. He is admired by jazz guitarists all over the world. He founded with violinist Stéphane Grappelli the Quintette du Hot Club de France and this quintet has inspired countless modern groups such as Stéphane Wrembel’s Django Experiment, the Rhythm Future Quartet, the Rosenberg Trio, Bireli Lagrène’s Gypsy Project and so many more. Django was also a prolific composer. Some of his most famous tunes are Nuages, Minor Swing, Troublant Boléro and Anouman.

The five featured groups will be Carina and the Six String Preacher (Carina Mastrantonio, vocals, Vincent Mastrantonio, guitar, Eric Beimiller, drums), the Hot Club of Buffalo (Dean Gionis, guitar, Josh Assad, guitar, E.J. Koeppel, violin, Kevin McCarthy, bass), Green Schwinn (John Blake, vocals, Andy Othman, guitar), Tyler Westcott and Friends (Tyler Westcott, guitar, Sean McNamara, guitar, Pat Jackson, bass), French ConéXion (Jeremy Spindler, accordion, Marc Cousins, bass, Bernard Kunz, guitar).
Each group will play a half hour set between 5:30 and 8:30 and another one between 8:30 and 11:30. The last half hour will be a jam. So, if you get there late or have to leave early, you’ll still get to see all 5 groups. Admission is $10.00 cash at the door.

Funktional Flow: Hailing from Buffalo, NY, Funktional Flow is a multi-genre quintet heavily rooted in rock and reggae, with a funk foundation. Over the past six years, the band has released three albums and played hundreds of shows throughout the Northeast and beyond. With the release of the newest album “Time Will Tell” on March 5th 2016, Flow is poised to take it to the next level and branch out nationally. Flow is heavily influenced by Sublime, Umphreys McGee, Moe, and Blind Melon but maintains a fresh, high energy sound that results in a diverse catalog of music.

Since the bands establishment in 2010, Funktional Flow has played notable music festivals such as Catskill Chill, The Great Blue Heron, A Bears Picnic, Buffalove Music Festival and Night Lights Music Festival. They also host their own festival, “Flow Fest”, at Woodlawn Beach located on the shores of Lake Erie, just outside of Buffalo, NY. Funktional Flow has shared the stage with many notable acts including; Warren Haynes, Railroad Earth, Rusted Root, New Riders of the Purple Sage and members of Little Feat. The Flow has succeeded in making a name for themselves throughout the North East and beyond; continuously earning recognition from musical publications. Recently the band was voted “Best Original Alternative Band” in Western New York. Also featured in Relix magazine’s “On the Rise” section and was a previous winner of the coveted Artvoice “Best of Buffalo” award. Dubbed a multi-genre monster, Funktional Flow is best experienced in its natural state, a live performance.

Thursday, January 24th – Psymbionic w/ special guests Criminal Sound

-Doors: 8:00pm, show: 9:00pm
-Tickets: $12 ADV/$15 DOS
-Ages: 18

About Psymbionic:
Cresting the modern wave of electronic producers, Psymbionic creates aural experiences that explore the range of multi-tempo Bass Music within an influential and dynamic culture. With an ear for situational relevance, Psymbionic enjoys turning non-traditional sound design and infectious rhythms into dancefloor heat, while also maintaining his history in the downtempo, emotive side of the electronic sound.

John Burcham has been moving bodies and turning heads as Psymbionic for several years in all corners of the USA, playing with acts such as Bassnectar, STS9, Big Gigantic, ill.Gates, Excision, EOTO, and Tipper. His passion and innovation in the music world are showcased through album releases on Muti Music and MalLabel, as well as in his role as label manager for the popular Electronic imprint Gravitas Recordings.

In a live show context, Psymbionic confronts mixes that are limited to the scope of the build and release, avoiding an industry epidemic of drop-monotony that overpowers the flow of music. Burcham seeks to prove that there are more powerful influences in moving a crowd than simple tension, providing an interwoven dynamic that relies on the strength of his blend, rather than the sole force or familiarity of the apex.

Psymbionic’s theory of music is a journey that doesn’t visit the same place twice, building excitement for what’s next not because you can anticipate it, but because you’ve never been there before.

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Display, the title of the exhibition, echoes the context or intent of an object and how it can shift when placed in varying spaces; but it’s really all one display,” says Anne Currier. “Showing my work as the Langley H. Kenzie Award recipient is part of a series of year-long positive coincidences. The Burchfield
Penney’s support of craft-based media, exhibiting in its Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery and earning a collaborative grant to design tile walls with Boston Valley Terra Cotta is a confluence that transformed 2017 into a miracle for me.”

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

“Much of my work is derived from human interaction. Imagine making an impression in the sand from sitting on the beach, getting up and seeing the residual shape formed,” describes Currier. “I also remember being inspired watching a couple do Tai Chi, intrigued by the physical call and response of their hand gestures.”

Drawing some inspiration from nature’s palette observed from her Allegany County home and studio, Currier creates surfaces reminiscent of mottled boulders, slate and rust, as well as intangible fog.

Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Display has been curated by Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections & Charles Cary Rumsey Curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State.

To start off the new year, Amigone Funeral Home, Inc. will be hosting a mobile blood drive with Unyts – Donate Life in their parking lot at the Tonawanda Chapel on Friday, January 25, 2019 from 1-6 PM.

Organ and blood donation is a topic that one of Amigone’s office team members is very passionate about, Rebecca Nason.

She shares: “Unyts was kind enough to select my experience as their “Share Your Story” feature to close out 2018. We hope to make a positive impact on our community, as all donations stay local. Regularly donating like me could be a great New Year’s resolution. Looking forward to hearing your stories and seeing you at the event!” Please take the time to read the article below.

Come visit one of Buffalo’s must-see treasures: The Guaranty Building! Originally built in 1896, this Adler & Sullivan designed structure is a highlight of Buffalo’s downtown architecture. Come see the beautiful terra cotta tiles on the exterior, the incredible mosaic work on the interior, and learn the history of this building, including what makes it a great preservation story. Preservation Buffalo Niagara is the exclusive provider of tours of the Guaranty Building.

Pre-registration is required for this tour. Walks on are not permitted, due to the limited capacity on this tour. Online registrants will receive a confirmation email. If you prefer to register over the phone, please call (716) 852-3300. If you have any questions, please contact Olivia at (716) 852-3300.

Tours of the Guaranty Building are on Fridays at 2 pm and Saturdays at 11 am.

Join us on M&T Fourth Friday January 25, 2019 for the opening of “From the Core” by Sheila Barcik; the opening reception will run from 5-8pm.

Sheila Barcik explores life, existence, and the existential experiences of searching and surviving in the contemporary world. Barcik constructs grids of single sheet drawings, each presenting a unique space in time. Together, the small works forms new images that flow from one moment to the next. The unsettling landscapes function as a cryptic schematic, populated with figurative and symbolic forms that are both familiar and foreign. Barcik invites the viewer to wander slowly through this ambivalent environment, taking time with each individual drawing as well as the full installation.

“From the Core” will be on view at Buffalo Arts Studio from January 25, 2019 – March 2, 2019.

Join us on M&T Fourth Friday January 25, 2019 for the opening of “Amalgams” by Lee Hoag; the opening reception will run from 5-8pm, with the artist speaking about their work promptly at 6pm.

Hoag’s work expands upon traditional ideas of assemblage sculpture. He works with collected objects to create new, unexpected forms. He chooses objects for their organic forms and couples them with language to evoke subconscious associations within the viewer. Well dosed with mystery, humor, and innuendo—both sacred and profane—Hoag’s sculptures conjure up the unimaginable within viewers. His work transforms everyday objects into charged psychic forms.

“Amalgams” will be on view at Buffalo Arts Studio from January 25, 2019 – March 2, 2019.

Buffalo, NY – Eleven Twenty Projects is pleased to announce a special exhibition of work from the collection of Hamburg, NY artist Jack Edson.
Contemporary art is collected for numerous reasons—investment, vanity, and posterity but at the heart of it, there is a collector and their compulsive love for the works they acquire. Some are driven by systematic interests in a museological fashion. Others follow the tangents of their heart and primarily purchase things they love, things they might—for reasons known only to them—otherwise not be able to live without.

Over time, these built collections become the invisible archives of our times. They find accrued value outside the personal collection and merit attention from a wider audience. Marked by subjective tastes and inquisitive eyes, they can become remarkable compilations of objects and images, inclusive and broadly cutting across various genres of work. Built and collected for personal reasons, they can become educational and informative about the works, their makers, and the collector whose eye brought them together.

With its prevailing interests in art, history, material culture, and the region of Western New York, Eleven Twenty Projects is initiating an annual consideration of collecting that will showcase the work of one regional collector. Presented as a concise survey—rather than omnibus compendium—A Focus On Collectors will bring to the surface the hidden gems of the region, collected over the years by passionate and driven individuals.

Included in the exhibition will be works by: James Allen, Pierre Alechinsky, Jozef Bajus, Brendan Bannon, Jonathan Borofsky, Harvey Breverman, Roger Brown, Charles E. Burchfield, Ellen Carey, Wendel Castle, Judy Chicago, Charles Clough, Robert Cottingham, Susan Crile, Allen d’Arcangelo, Marisol Escobar, Phillip Elliott, Roy De Forest, Howard Finster, Nancy Graves, Duayne Hatchett, Al Held, George Afedzi Hughes, Jed Jackson, Les Krims, Mark Lavatelli, Robert Longo, Joseph Mazur, Arnold Mesches, Kenneth Payne, John Pfahl, Judy Rifka, Don Robertson, James Rosenquist, Susan Rothenberg, Lucas Samaras, David Salle, George Segal, Cindy Sherman, David Schirm, Nancy Spero, Carol Summers, Neil Tetkowski, Walasse Ting, Alfonso Volo, William T. Wylie.
*Works are for exhibition only and are not for sale.

ABOUT JACK EDSON:
Jack Edson is a master quilter and has been collecting art and a wide variety of other objects since he started working as a librarian in 1970s. He earned his BA in English from Canisius College and his Master of Library Science from the University of Rhode Island and served as director of the Hamburg Public Library from 2005 until 2017. Over the past four decades Edson has been honing his quilting skills making detailed historical portrait quilts. Edson says, “I may be working with cloth, but I’m actually painting in my mind.” Recently, he was awarded the 2018 Margaret E. Mead Memorial award, as part of the Art in Craft Media exhibit at the Burchfield Penney Art Center and his work was included in Material Men 2: Contemporary Masters at the Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum. In the March 2019 selections of Edson’s work will be featured in the exhibition Contemporary Portraiture at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.

– Show: 9:00 PM
– Tickets: $10 Advance // $12 Day of the Show
– Ages: 18

About Space Junk:

With their unique sound mixing traditional rock structure, and complex developmental jamming, Space Junk evolves house, rock and jazz influenced improvising as the force to separate them from your typical solo based Jam band. Each show is a unique musical journey – ensuring that no two shows are the same. Their loyal fan base ties this live intelligent dance party together, sure to keep your feet moving, your blood pumping, and your brain in a frenzy.

Unofficially formed in 2009 while attending college in Fredonia, Space Junk got its name and a new home in Buffalo, NY in 2011. Joining forces with Buffalo’s Frosty Tone DJ crew, Space Junk proved that a live band could hold their own with the late night DJs and MCs. Here they established their long form improvisational development, reminiscent of their DJ influences and counterparts in Trance, DnB, Dubstep and House. Maintaining a presence amongst the DJs and Jam bands in the Allentown bar district, they continued to push the limits of their tension filled peaks. They have shared the stage with acts such as Dopapod, Particle, Dr. Fameus, Consider the Source, Kung Fu, Digital Tape Machine, Jimkata, The Heavy Pets and many more. They where awarded Best Rhythm Section at the WNY Music Awards ceremony in 2013. And in 2016 Space Junk was voted the #1 electronic band by Western New York News.

Close your eyes during one of their jams and you will see these analog musicians transform into one digital beast. Fueled by heavy delays, face-melting guitar solos, mind bending electro-funk jams, and an ambidextrous drummer/DJ/keyboardist [Yes, their drummer does all three simultaneously], Space Junk is bound to leave you stuck in orbit after seeing them live.

We are all born with a connection to our Intuition. As we go through our lives very often our intuition is put aside in favor of focusing on what we see with our physical eyes and the logical aspect of our minds. Being consciously connected to our intuitive side is completely natural and this in turn helps us live lives that are full of meaning and purpose. AND we can use our intuition to facilitate readings that can help others heal and find their true purpose.

In this workshop I am going to help you understand and trust the intuitive messages that are there for us all.

Learn how to connect to spirit guides and understand their messages
Learn how to connect with loved ones who have crossed over to the other side of life, receive evidence from them that they are indeed who they say they are, and properly understand & interpret the messages and guidance they have to offer
You will learn the basics. Spirit communicates with us using mind language. Clairvoyance or clear seeing, Clairaudience or clear hearing, and Clairscentience which is clear feeling & gut feelings. You will learn to use “The Claire’s” to get accurate messages for yourself & others using mind language.

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Display, the title of the exhibition, echoes the context or intent of an object and how it can shift when placed in varying spaces; but it’s really all one display,” says Anne Currier. “Showing my work as the Langley H.

With its prevailing interests in art, history, material culture, and the region of Western New York, Eleven Twenty Projects is initiating an annual consideration of collecting that will showcase the work of one regional collector. Presented as a concise survey—rather than omnibus compendium—A Focus On Collectors will bring to the surface the hidden gems of the region, collected over the years by passionate and driven individuals.

Included in the exhibition will be works by: James Allen, Pierre Alechinsky, Jozef Bajus, Brendan Bannon, Jonathan Borofsky, Harvey Breverman, Roger Brown, Charles E. Burchfield, Ellen Carey, Wendel Castle, Judy Chicago, Charles Clough, Robert Cottingham, Susan Crile, Allen d’Arcangelo, Marisol Escobar, Phillip Elliott, Roy De Forest, Howard Finster, Nancy Graves, Duayne Hatchett, Al Held, George Afedzi Hughes, Jed Jackson, Les Krims, Mark Lavatelli, Robert Longo, Joseph Mazur, Arnold Mesches, Kenneth Payne, John Pfahl, Judy Rifka, Don Robertson, James Rosenquist, Susan Rothenberg, Lucas Samaras, David Salle, George Segal, Cindy Sherman, David Schirm, Nancy Spero, Carol Summers, Neil Tetkowski, Walasse Ting, Alfonso Volo, William T. Wylie.
*Works are for exhibition only and are not for sale.

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Display, the title of the exhibition, echoes the context or intent of an object and how it can shift when placed in varying spaces; but it’s really all one display,” says Anne Currier. “Showing my work as the Langley H. Kenzie Award recipient is part of a series of year-long positive coincidences. The Burchfield
Penney’s support of craft-based media, exhibiting in its Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery and earning a collaborative grant to design tile walls with Boston Valley Terra Cotta is a confluence that transformed 2017 into a miracle for me.”

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

“Much of my work is derived from human interaction. Imagine making an impression in the sand from sitting on the beach, getting up and seeing the residual shape formed,” describes Currier. “I also remember being inspired watching a couple do Tai Chi, intrigued by the physical call and response of their hand gestures.”

Drawing some inspiration from nature’s palette observed from her Allegany County home and studio, Currier creates surfaces reminiscent of mottled boulders, slate and rust, as well as intangible fog.

Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Display has been curated by Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections & Charles Cary Rumsey Curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State.

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars, and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced, and directed by Roberta Grossman, executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, and shot by Director of Photography Dyanna Taylor, Who Will Write Our History (based on the book by Samuel D. Kassow) mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon—the truth—and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.
About the Global Screening Event: Across the world, on one single day, Sunday, January 27, 2019—International Holocaust Remembrance Day—movie theaters, churches, mosques, synagogues, universities, museums, and community centers will screen WHO WILL WRITE OUR HISTORY. Audiences everywhere will join a post-screening discussion streamed live on Facebook from the evening screening at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.

Please join the faculty, students, parents, and alumni of Saints Peter and Paul School at our Open House on Sunday, January 27th from 1-3pm at 5480 Main Street in Williamsville. We are enrolling for grades Pre-K 3 thru 8th grade.

As part of the school’s commitment to growth and accessibility, SSPP is offering generous scholarships and tuition incentives to new K-8 families who enroll for the 2019-2020 school year.

Additional Open Houses to be held from 9-11am on 2/12, 3/12, 4/9 and 5/29 and from 5:30-7:30pm on 5/9.

Following Fit is the first book from Buffalo personal trainer and author, Kristen Perillo. The book is a memoir about how Kristen Perillo’s quest to understand fitness and nutrition turned into a series of lessons about her relationship with her body, her relationship with food, and her identity—as a teacher, as a trainer, and as a woman. Based on her blog, Following Fit is the story of a person who came to fitness late—in her thirties, after years of feeling unathletic—and found a passion she didn’t know she had. Her passion for fitness and nutrition takes her through a career change, a descent into binge eating, and an identity shift, but it also leads her back to her self, to a sense of wholeness, and to an understanding of health and wellness that goes beyond physical fitness.
