Roe 2.0 – It Ain’t Over Yet! - Artist Walkthrough

Roe 2.0 – It Ain’t Over Yet! - Artist Walkthrough

ON VIEW: January 28 – March 4, 2023
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday Jan. 28, 2023, 4-7 PM CST
ARTISTS WALKTHROUGH: Saturday, March 4, 2-4 PM CST

SEE THE WORK

CHICAGO ––Woman Made Gallery (WMG) is proud to present Roe 2.0 in direct protest and response to the United States Supreme Court’s 6–3 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion in 1973. Roe 2.0 is a hybrid group exhibition featuring works in a variety of mediums by 44 artists in WMG’s gallery space as well as varied responses to the theme by 100 artists in the virtual-only part of this important and powerful exhibition. Individuals also responded to a call for Abortion stories. Some signed their names while others stayed anonymous. Displayed next to the visual artworks at Woman Made, these written accounts, thoughts, and experiences offer an unflinching view of very personal perspectives entangled with political repression. Abortion Stories will be added online throughout the year as they are submitted.

The Dobbs v. Jackson verdict leaves people with the capacity for pregnancy at the mercy of each individual state, which can now set their own abortion laws. Access to safe, legal abortions and reproductive healthcare is a basic human right that the U.S. government actively chooses to exploit. The denial of reproductive rights and access disproportionately affects individuals of color and those from economically disadvantaged communities. Our bodies and reproductive capabilities are not a political playground.

We at WMG believe that art can and does create lasting social change. As an intersectional feminist organization, WMG stands in solidarity with pro-choice activists and organizations. This exhibition seeks to document artists’ voices in this time of urgency, as a means of resistance to facilitate change and create a space for open dialogue regarding abortion rights.

Roe 2.0 Gallery Exhibiting Artists: Amy Bernard, Colby Parker Beutel, Marnie Blair, Borealis, Riley Brady, Marcie Brozyna, Amy Cannestra, Julie Carcione Cavaz, Melanie Deal, Anne Dushanko Dobek, Karen Fike, Ellen Fishman, Lisa Freeman, Theresa Giammattei, Anita Giraldo, Seyeong Hanlim, Frederica Diane Huff, Ali Hval, Ina Kaur, Helen Klebesacel, Epiphany Knedler, Tulika Ladsariya, Kristy Lisle, Elaine Luther, Marie Magnetic, Glenda Mah, Mildred Annani Mercado, Kelsey Faith Nichols, Niki Nolin, Laura O’Connor, Priscilla Otani, Jina Park, Mimm Patterson, Adam D. Piergallini, Mariana R. Rey, Erin K. Schmidt, Heather Schulte, Rebecca Schwarzberg, Sondra Schwetman Art, Suzanna Scott, Marijo Swick, Winnie van der Rijn, Julie Waltz-Stalker, and Jennifer Weigel.

Art in the Time of Corona

Art in the Time of Corona

New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) presents Art in the Time of Corona, it's inaugural benefit auction exhibition of artwork created during and inspired by the massive social and political upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. The auction exhibition is on view in the NUMU galleries, as well as virtually through the NUMU website.  

Many artists have taken the time of isolation to innovate, explore different media, or dive into new methods and concepts. Juried by curator and gallerist, Craig Krull, this exhibition presents a rare opportunity to experience an eclectic range of groundbreaking work, united by this urgent theme. 

“Isolation has been difficult, but it has also been a shared experience. The artists that I selected for this exhibition have clearly been introspective while coming to terms with an unprecedented reality employing their work as ‘a barometer of the moment.’”  — Craig Krull, exhibition juror

NUMU will also offer supporting programming throughout the three month exhibition. When the COVID-19 shelter-in-place mandate was announced in Santa Clara County in March, NUMU reached out to its community with an invitation to participate in a project called “Create in Place,” to share ways that they were being creative while sheltering at home. What resulted was an exuberant response from community members of all stripes—artists, non-artists, adults, and children. These creative projects by community members will be shown on a digital reel that will be viewable on the NUMU website and in the Museum during the auction exhibition. A complete listing of public program dates and details will be announced in the coming weeks. 

The auction fundraiser will be accessible online beginning on the first day of the exhibition, December 11, 2020.  Proceeds benefit exhibiting artists and NUMU exhibitions and educational programs. 

EXHIBITING ARTISTS Tracey Adams, Julie Alland, Barbara Boissevain, Andrea Borsuk, Toby Britton, Marie Cameron, Ruth Cali Caprow, Jessica Cardelucci, Stacey Carter, Matthew Chase Daniel, Elvira Dayel, Christel Dillbohner, Luz Donahue, Kathleen Elliot, Eden Gallanter, Tara de la Garza, Ewa Gavrielov, Theresa Giammatei, Paul Gibson, Shelby Craton Graham, Liz Hickok, Abigail Holms, Christine Huhn, Theodora Varnay Jones, Kathryn Kain, Mythili Kattupalli, Rebecca Koury, Jacqui Leatham, Carrie Lederer, Derek Lynch, Marsha McDonald, Susan Miller, David Molesky, Tanya Momi, Rita Norton, Janis O’Driscoll, Laura Plageman, Britney Penouilh, Patricia Prescott Sueme, Fanny Retsek, Sawyer Rose, Conable Hunter, Christina Salinas, Robynn Smith, Leslie Ann Spowart, Tammy Swarek, Rosalinda Taymor, Maria Teplova, Rachel Tirosh, Bernard Trainor, Tom Yacoe.

​A Group Show featuring 50 artists whose artworks were NOT selected to exhibit in the ‘De Young Open’, the museums unprecedented nod to local artists in celebration of their 125th anniversary.  inspired by the original ‘Salon Des Refusés’  ("exhibition of rejects") of 1863 - an exhibition of works rejected by the jury of the annual ‘Paris Salon’, when, of the 5,000 paintings submitted to the ‘Paris Salon’, a mere 2,217 were accepted….the Emperor himself okayed the ‘Salon des Refuses’ to appease the angry artists. At this time, in 2020, with 6190 artists having submitted 11,514 individual artworks, and with a mere 877 artworks accepted, our own pool of ‘De Young Open’ refusés numbers 10,437 (!) – a well justified number to go ahead and celebrate our creative spirit in good company!

Participating Artists: Alisa K. Moore    Agneta Falk    Arran Harvey   Barbara Pollak-Lewis    Barbara Sizelove   Beka Brayer   Byron J. Abels-Smit    Candice  Jacobus     David Perry      Dennis Hearne    Ed Handelman    Elizabeth Ashcroft     Elizabeth Scarborough    Felipe G Colina    Gordon Sizelove   Gregory Vernitsky   Heather Robinson   Jain McClain    Jane B Grimm    Jeffrey Nemeroff    Jill Andre    Kim Haueter    Kit Cameron    Lisa Keith   Liz Boeder   Lucia Gonnella   Lucia Fagen-Deluca    Michael Hylton    Michael Lownie    Paulette Traverso    Peggy Huff    Rebecca Peters    Reddy Lieb    Richard Perri    Rita Buchfinck     Steve Sweetser    Susan Weisberg     Tanya Herrera    Tina Tarnoff  Tisha Kenny   Theresa Giammattei    Victoria Veedell    Walker Dukes    Tammy Zo Pollard
