AS220 Galleries
Close up of artwork by Marjorie Hellman.
As usual, AS220 Galleries have new artists in each of the galleries this month. The galleries will all be open from 12 - 5pm, Thursday - Saturday. All shows are up through December 23rd!
AS220 Main Gallery at 115 Empire St. is showing “The Con Artist Family Reunion: Where Art and Mischief Meet.” A visceral art extravaganza exploring the interdisciplinary practices of The Conlin Family, featuring two parents, an eight-year-old, and three cousins. Through exhibiting various works and interactive installations, the exhibit presents these multigenerational artworks as a family portrait.
Aborn Gallery at 95 Empire St. presents “Jelly Side Up.” Formed initially as an artist support group during the pandemic, “Jelly Side Up” showcases the diverse works of Ali Buffum, Harry Buffum, Jim Chapin, Tom Emmet, Karen Lee, and Pike Powers. This collaborative group show celebrates the collective energy and bond of friendship, encouraging us to seek the positives in everyday life.
AS220 Project Space at 93 Mathewson St. presents “FROM THE CATALOGUE OF LOST PARTS” by Marjorie Hellman. Focusing on the dichotomy between painting as a flat object and depicting dimensional forms, this exhibit examines contrasting colors and illusions of abstraction. A process involving close observations of the natural and artificial world, this collection of paintings and drawings applies the simplicity of line and the complexities of color usage.
