Ten artists united in January 2021, as part of the 12th Wonder Women Artist Residency, to research and create work addressing health. The current pandemic has exposed healthcare system failures and has forced urgent conversations about our personal and collective health that would otherwise be considered private. These public conversations demanded that the artists address the bodies they live in, how they are perceived, and the acknowledgment of those who are often not accounted for when we say our bodies. The health concerns addressed in this show are pre-pandemic issues but lensed from a place of grief, frustration, fear, and a range of mountainous feelings brought on by more than a year and a half of isolation and global turmoil. The works highlight these concerns and present a collection of self-portraits at this historic moment. The exhibition considers our urgency to get \u201cback to normal\u201d vs. the reality of a global pandemic that is still ongoing and has fundamentally changed our health and social structures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NJCU Galleries and _gaia are pleased to co-present Eye of the Storm, the 11th annual Wonder Women Residency Project which features nine women artists exploring the increasingly vital issues of climate change and current environmental challenges. Eye of the Storm is an urgent call for action to address the drastic changes in temperature, glacial melt, super storms, plastics pollution, and contaminated resources, from our local communities to as far away as the Arctic. Each artist’s work presents an individual narrative, engaging in the science, data and future of life on the planet, and considers the artist\u2019s role in informing and empowering people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wonder Women mission is to engage underrepresented artists who are eager to participate in a collective dialogue about agency, gender, art and social change. This year’s residency was hosted at Dineen Hull Gallery at Hudson County Community College, which will hold a panel discussion on Friday, May 4, 2018, 3 – 5pm.

Superfood @ Main Gallery in Gallery Aferro<\/strong><\/p>\n

April 11th \u2013 May 23rd 2015
\nOpening Reception April 11th 7 \u2013 10pm<\/p>\n

The ninth edition of _gaia studio\u2019s Wonder Women Residency explores the social construction of Superfood. A generation after the birth of the Kraft cheese single and our recent turn back towards the natural, we turn to this newly fetishized landscape to reflect on how we shape it and it shapes us. With this in mind, Wonder Women invited artists to consider what is Superfood to women in their role in food communities, economies, and families. We challenged these artists to explore possibilities with women at the center of food cultivation, cooking, feeding, and nurturing. The shows work culminates into an investigation of medically enhanced drinking water, food as comfort, food as personal identity and food as prescription. Utilizing an array of mediums, the works will engage, inform and question these complex landscapes via painting, video, sculpture, interactive installation and relational aesthetics
\n_gaia is a collective of women artists and activists creating art, events and opportunities in the visual and media arts, performance and design. Its members actively promote and support the work of local women artists while developing programs that encourage collaboration and create community to help emerging artists in need of studio space, facilities and resources. In pursuit of raising awareness _gaia concentrates on activism, from issues in the local community and the art world to global issues affecting the lives of women.

The exhibit will feature multimedia projects that the artists created during _gaia\u2019s seventh annual Wonder Women Residency. The six-week residency explored the opportunity of redefining the future of global economies by focusing on education, literacy, and the empowerment of women and had the artists reflect on the power of women’s agency in communities and economies. The resulting projects address the possibilities for global change with women at the center of learning, health, governance, and public and private spaces.<\/p>\n

Meredith Goncalves and the collaboration of Sonia Louise Davis and Salome Asega present portraiture as empowerment. Hannah Kirshner and Katya Grokhovsky use performance and video to explore gender roles, personal journeys and identity. Christine Posner explores authorship in her work in which she creates a collaboration and exhibition with Geraldine Posner, a photographer during WWII, who was presented with challenges to continue a photography career as a woman in the middle of the century. Sharon de la Cruz uses graffiti to teach the audience about the immense strength of women of color. Linda Hu and Kathleen Kranack have created drawings to present history, female identity and women\u2019s stories.<\/p>\n

A special, hand-made, limited edition catalog created by the artists and curators will be available at the gallery.<\/p>\n

The Wonder Women residency is hosted annually at _gaia\u2019s Jersey City studio. In 2011 the residency expanded to include an international summer project that traveled to Cyprus last year and will be traveling to Brazil this summer.<\/p>\n

((Brooklyn, 11\/11\/11): _gaia together with its collaborators in Cyprus: The Cyprus Community Media Centre (CCMC), the European Mediterranean Arts Association (EMAA) and Rooftop Theatre Group present the New News is Old News: A Wonder Women Project at The Gowanus Studio Space.<\/p>\n

In January 2011, _gaia studio invited 10 New York and New Jersey based artists to participate in their residency program Wonder Women, exploring the changing media landscape in a project called \u2018New News is Old News.\u2019 The work was completed and exhibited at Gallery Aferro in Newark, NJ. Its curators Doris Ca\u00e7oilo and Maya Joseph-Goteiner along with three of the artists, Christine DaCruz, Sharon De La Cruz and Lindsey Muscato traveled to Cyprus upon invitation by the Cypriot organizers, Alana Kakoyiannis, on behalf of CCMC, Ozgul Ezgin on behalf of EMAA; Ellada Evangelou, on behalf of Rooftop to stage a similar program with artists in Nicosia and to present the culmination of the week-long process in an exhibition at the Peace Room in Nicosia.<\/p>\n

During the residency, the curators and selected artists: US based Christine DaCruz, Mairikke Dau, Sharon de la Cruz, Melissa MacAlpin, Escobar-Morales, Lindsey Muscato, Larysa Myers, Cristine Posner, Sharone Vendriger, Nicole Wilson and Cyprus based Heleniq Argyrou, Kakia Catselli, Eser Kec?eci, Go?kc?e Kec?eci S?ekerog?lu, Costantia Manoli, Maria Petrides and Julie Sandor met for critique sessions and discussions related to the media.<\/p>\n

In their projects for the exhibition, the artists focus on communication and the content of news in US and Cypriot media, paying particular attention our changing relationship to news. Among the many collaborations and discussions the projects emerged as individual and collective experiments. Christine Da Cruz and Maria Petrides collaborate to collect oral histories and create embroidered portraits of women. Sharon de la Cruz uses the American cultural iconography of Aunt Jemima to present her vision of Crooked Images. Melissa MacAlpin illustrates love stories from the NY Times. Lindsey Muscato considers the physical experience of reading a broadsheet illuminating details from newspaper articles in her drawings of controlled coffee spills. Julie Sandor deconstructs TV media consumption using found video.<\/p>\n

All 17 artists will show a selection of the work created in the US and Cyprus residencies in a group exhibition at The Gowanus Studio Space beginning Friday, November 11th at 7:00PM and will remain open until Friday, November 25th<\/p>\n

The project is made possible through the generous support of the U.S. Embassy’s Bicommunal Support Program (BSP) as well as through a crowd sourcing initiative launched by _gaia studio using Kickstarter and our hosts The Gowanus Studio Space.<\/p>\n

THE EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

The curators invited ten artists from the New York\/New Jersey area to participate in an eight week program addressing the questions: Who mediates the news? How is social media changing your foundation of news? Can technology keep up with history? When was the last time you read the paper? is journalism dead? NNION artists explore personal and cultural understanding and experience of media; the different perspectives of journalism online vs. print; the future of news.Newspaper stories no longer fit the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of news as \u201ca report of recent events: previously unknown information.\u201d In many respects, we have created an endless source of updated information online and while few people have the time to read the entire newspaper, even fewer can keep up with the minute-to-minute updates via Twitter, blogs, online publications, and RSS feeds.Projects address the changing voice of news, its\u2019 outlets and content.<\/p>\n

The residency invited artists and curators from the New Jersey\/New York area to participate in a six week program that would engage them in discussions about their work, feminism, (im)migration, identity construction, human rights, and culture.WW5: Ah, Motherland! created a collective dialogue and artwork that explored the dynamic issues of emigration and (im)migration into the United States. As the projects came into focus, it became clear that notions of home, family, culture, and heritage are as as fluid and rich as the work being created. The exhibition illustrates a collective journey to determine the participants’ knowledge of (im)migration, as well as to set a new standard of living with cultural relatedness and awareness. Each project represents a personal struggle with (im)migration and it\u2019s effect on identity. Anjelika Krishna drapes her heirloom saris to create new representations of self and identity that includes a merger of east and west. Sonali Sridhar explores technology, tradition and design in “Odhni,” a traditional Indian textile that harnesses solar energy.Other artists explore notions of body and memory. Holly Pitre uses essential elements of salt and water to illustrate change, erosion and a personal typography of identity. Roxana Marroquin’s “In my Skin” uses photography to merge her body with landscapes of memory. Giana Gonzalez and Christina da Cruz both approach a revisiting and reframing of their cultures with their work exploring Portuguese Fado and Panamanian Carnavale. In the exploration of Motherland many of the artists focused on mothers and the inheritance of culture and identity through family. Willa Goldwaithe reinvents the japanese noren inspired by her grandmother. Lizette Louis and Pamela Godard both create portraits of mothers via woodburning and video, respectively, and Agnieska Wszolkowski collaborates with her mother in “Gobelin” in order to explore her own Polish culture and traditions of craft and artmaking.WW5 coincides with the Feminist Art Project. The purpose of the Feminist Art Project is to bring public attention to the significant and continuing impact of women and their art on all aspects of contemporary art practice, highlighting their international influence, and guaranteeing their inclusion in the cultural record, past, present, and future._gaia is a collective of women, for women, for the making of textiles, clothing, printmaking, painting, architecture, music, film, photography, science, the performing arts, writing, environmental, social and political activism: all things which color the lives of the women involved. We actively promote and support the work of local women artists while developing programming to reach out to and help emerging artists in need of studio space, facilities and resources. In our pursuit of awareness we also concentrate on activism, from issues in the local community to global issues affecting the lives of women.Sponsors: Division of Student Affairs, Division of Academic Affairs, Office of the Dean of Students, Office of Campus Life, Speicher-Rubin Women’s Center, Alumni Relations, Art and Design Association.PRESS CONTACT: Doris Cacoilo 201-386-0486 info at gaiastudio.org___________________________________________________________________________________Please come out to our 2nd exhibition of last year’s residency projects this Friday!!
