Above image:
Title: Silenced
Medium: dried rose petals, acrylic, ink
Dimensions: 36 x 36 x approx. 8 inches
Date: 2011

Statement:
As a way to cope with my horror, overwhelming sadness and urge to "do something" after the tragedy of September 11,  I performed a healing ritual. Starting September 18, every Tuesday, the anniversary of the attack, I bought a dozen white roses.
 
While I peeled off 11 petals from 9 roses, I sang or hummed the hymns, “Amazing Grace" and "Jerusalem.” Then I placed the petals between the pages of the New York city phone book to dry. I continued this each week for many months until I had accumulated enough petals for every victim of the World Trade Center attack. These were preserved, layered in paper towels, housed in shoe boxes, waiting to be made into a memorial.
 
Now, carefully and reverently coated with acrylic and numbered,  the 2,752 petals represent the lives cut short that day.

  Exploring Home in London & New York, an artist collaboration, 2010-2012



Linda Stillman is a fine artist deeply rooted in New York. Writer/illustrator Maryann Kovalski is an ex-New Yorker now in London after a life in Canada. They met as students at the School of Visual Arts and found each other again decades later.

This rediscovery sparked an exploration of their lives as creators in New York and London, documented in postcard exchanges. The pair investigate the differences and similarities between the two cities using rubbings, drawings, collage, photographs and found objects. They compare their external worlds and domestic minutiae, manners, mores and the rhythms of daily life. Some pieces are collaborative, some stand alone.

This project was initiated under the auspices of the "Here There and Everywhere 2011" exhibition sponsored by the TransCultural Exchange. Catalogue available at http://www.transculturalexchange.org/herethere/htecatalog02.htm

Please join us at our first exhibition:
Sidewalk stand in front of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, USA
May 21, 2011 from 9-5. Rain date: Sunday, May 22, 2011.
Please check here to confirm dates.
   
  Hidden Cities



I am pleased to have 2 of my photographs included in the show, "Hidden Cities."
"No matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City, a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions. These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side."

In this series of photographs, mixed-media artist Linda Stillman documents lost objects she finds on the streets of New York City. These images document her personal everyday journey and reference the unknown story behind these lost belongings. Formatted as documents, the photographs are hung in a grid, forming an archive of the everyday. They reflect Stillman’s interest in overlooked objects and fleeting moments of experience, and the ways in which they are collected, preserved and remembered. The exhibition series “Art Wall on Third” is curated by Arezoo Moseni.

"The Glitch Generation"
Curated by Michele Jaslow and Spring Hofeldt
through June 25, 2010

above: Found: Glove, yellow, Franklin Street Subway Station, Brooklyn; archival pigment print; 2009 © Linda Stillman

Glitch Generation was a group exhibition of artworks rooted in mistakes, either intentional or found, including "glitches" in the wiring of our brains. Some participating artists have created a unique environment to produce a malfunction in an otherwise stable system, while others have happened upon a glitch by chance.

Whether the artist intentionally used a computer program to create a glitch, manipulated hardware to create a manufactured imperfect environment, or came across the aberration by chance, each saw an opportunity to create beauty and to work with color and form in a new way by shedding light on the glitches.

Dates of exhibit: October 8, 2008 through December 5, 2008

"Art & Alchemy"

Each of the artist-alchemists in this exhibition curated by Barbara Lubliner used found materials to transform waste into wonder.

Carol Goebel transforms rusted metal tools into beautiful compositions that flicker with life and make you think you have come upon a flockbof amazing flying creatures.

Linda Stillman chooses found materials, remnants of daily life – coffee filters, tea bags, blossoms and bark from her garden and paint shards from her painting practice and transforms them into witty and elegant compositions.

Elyse Taylor creates a charming and moving narrative patchwork of life experiences in her ongoing project, "Growing," made up of 16" square
panels, using a large variety of recycled and found materials along with paint and collage.

Dan Walker transforms plastic parts by aggregating them according to color. His explosive assemblages and sculptures are dazzling in their intricacy and nuanced color relationships.
