The Walsh Gallery is pleased to present “Crossroads: A Shifting Landscape” a multi-media group exhibition of contemporary landscape art curated by Jesse Gordon and Emily Ozga. The included artists address contemporary innovations in the landscape genre visually, thematically and through the use of alternative media. Artwork included in the exhibition also emphasizes the changing role of landscape art in the present day as a platform for socio- political discourse as opposed to a verisimilitude of the natural world. The curators developed this exhibition as a response to the traditional objectives of the genre, demonstrating contemporary concerns about the world we inhabit.

Featured artists include Louise Barry, Carol Chave, Travis Childers, Raquel A. Foote, Richard Gilles, Mikhail Gubin, William Hudders, Nina Jordan, Suzy Kopf, Jeremy Rosenstein Kortes, Franck Lesbros, Susan Maakestad, Jason Meyer, Bruce Pollock, Daniel Rosenbaum, Patrick Seufert, Susan Shaw, Rachel Sitkin, Ryan Thompson, Kati Vilim, Joe Waks and Sook Yoo. The selected artists include an international group, as well as artists from the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. An exhibition catalogue with an essay by the curators will be available at the Walsh Gallery.

Monday June 6th – Thursday July 21st, 2011

Opening Reception:

Thursday, June 9 – 5pm to 9pm
The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University is pleased to present How to Speak Puerto Rican, a solo exhibition featuring artist Jose Camacho.  Camacho was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and moved to America as a young adult in the 1980’s.  These dual perspectives influence Camacho’s artwork, revealing a romantic, yet candid outlook on both cultures.  Identity politics play a large part in his creative arsenal, which draws upon such influences as Puerto Rican folk music, Spanish classical literature, modernist painting and American pop culture.  The artworks on view include painting, mixed media and sculpture.

Curator Jeanne Brasile notes that while Jose’s message is strongly informed by his Puerto Rican heritage, “I am also drawn to his use of materials and his process.  Jose’s interest in surface and texture is apparent in his many paintings and drawings, which typically consist of layered materials such as paint, paper and graphite.”  Process-wise, Camacho’s approach is laborious, and he’ll often re-work his art over a period of years, adding and/or subtracting layers to achieve the desired effect.  The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with an essay by art historian Niria Leyva-Gutierrez.  Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 10:30am to 4:30pm.  Admission is free and open to the public.

October 18 through December 10, 2010
Opening Reception – Thursday, October 21 5pm to 8pm

The Walsh Gallery, in collaboration with The Joseph A Unanue Latino Institute at Seton Hall University is proud to present “Cuban Artists’ Books and Prints: 1985 – 2008” a traveling exhibition on view October 18 to December 10, 2010. A related symposium will be held on November 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the Walsh Gallery. The exhibit, curated by Dr. Linda S. Howe and the Wake Forest University Cuba Project Collective, features more than 130 books and objects from thirteen Cuban painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers, multimedia artists, writers, and the Vigía Press. Works on display are by Sandra Ramos, Yoan and Iván Capote, Aglutinador (Sandra Ceballos and René Bravo Quintana), Ibrahim Miranda, Carlos Estévez, Rene Peña, Rocío García, J.A. Vincench, Olympya Ortiz, Danilo Moreno, and Tonel (Antonio Eligio Fernández) and Ediciones Vigía (the bookmaking cooperative and press from Matanzas, Cuba).
These works represent the artists’ personal responses to life in Cuba over the past two decades and reveal how their creativity and imagination have been shaped by occurrences such as the fall of the Soviet Union and the 1990’s Special Period of economic strife. According to Dr. Howe, “This exhibit is primarily about the ingenious resilience of the Cuban artists represented and how they express their experiences of life in Cuba, but it is also a testament to the service and entrepreneurial work of more than 200 Wake Forest students, faculty and staff over the years. Without them, this exhibit never would have happened.”
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10:30am to 4:30pm. If you require further information, contact Gallery Director, Jeanne Brasile at 973-275-2033, jeanne.brasile@shu.edu or view the Walsh Gallery website at http://academic.shu.edu/libraries/gallery/

Exhibition: 6/7 – 7/22/2010 | Opening Reception:  6/10, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University is hosting a solo exhibition highlighting wall sculpture by artist Tracy Heneberger.  The show is a survey of three-dimensional art created by the artist over the past twelve years in various media including; bronze, wood, aluminum, stone and organic materials such as fish.  Heneberger often uses iterations of materials that organize smaller parts into a well-ordered whole of line, pattern, color and shape.  By combining natural elements in rhythmic ways, the end result is at once rich in detail, and yet elegantly simple.
