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.

  Brooklyn Arts Council's Exhibition:



"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 is 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.

  Monotype in CCP benefit auction



On November 2, I had the pleasure of working at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT with master printer and friend, Susan Newbold. Under her guidance, I created multiple monotypes using dried leaves. One was chosen by Artistic Director, Anthony Kirk, to be included in the Auction on November 21.

Now in its eleventh year, MONOTHON2009 takes place at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking with a whirlwind of creative activity. For eight days in November, this marathon of monotype printmaking provides artists the opportunity to work with Master Printers in intensive, five-hour sessions to create original monotypes.

MONOTHON2009 culminates in an exhibition of selected monotypes to be auctioned to benefit CCP at the ever-popular Auction & Party on November 21.

Prints by more than 100 leading and emerging artists will be available at live and silent auctions.
Silent Auction: 6:30-8 pm

Opening Reception: Tuesday June 16th, 6-8
Atlantic Gallery

As the world’s second largest automaker, General Motors, files for bankruptcy, Atlantic Gallery announces its summer group show Sic Transit Gloria ~ The End of the Road, an exhibition of artwork concerning all things transit and transitory by over 50 artists. The complete phrase ‘Sic Transit Gloria Mundi’ translates as ‘Thus Passes the Glory of the World’, but recent headlines about increased congestion, pollution, and diminishing resources might imply ‘thus passes the glory days of cheap oil’ and the ‘free ride’ that came with it. Paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture relating to travel, actual and ephemeral; by plane, train, automobile or camel.

"Art & Alchemy"

Each of the artist-alchemists in this exhibition curated by Barbara Lubliner uses 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.
