+|- International; Virtual Festival of the Arts in Q-tine

Patchogue Arts Council • Museum of Contemporary Art Long Island (PAC•MoCA L.I.) is initiating and organizing a virtual Universal celebration of the arts produced and shared while in quarantine.

Working with Co-curators around the world representing USA, Mexico, Russia, Romania, Norway, Poland, and Chile, PAC•MoCA L.I. is connecting artists from creative pockets across the globe and presenting their work for the masses to experience during one of the most unifying events of this millennia.

What is happening is not just on a local or even a national sphere, but a global one that transcends any borders, language, or culture. We are forever connected by this shared experience.

The arts and artists are always here in the best and worst of times. We all can see worldwide through various social media outlets – hundreds of artists sharing work, links, live streaming, and places to click on to experience the arts – now virtually more than ever before and free to anyone anywhere.

Art, ingenuity, and creativity are responsible for everything around us from the utensils we use to cook with to the cell phones we can’t live without. It’s easy to forget that creative thinking and an artist in some form are at the heart of it all, but right now, art is what everyone can turn to first.

The Arts provide an escape, relief, and hope. It’s at times like this we are reminded just how important they are.

April 18^th we will launch the festival and present artists working in different media and disciplines each day from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM.

Exhibit: Consummate Plush

PATCHOGUE ARTS COUNCIL • MOCA L.I. Consummate Plush Curated by Janet Goleas March 7 – April 19, 2020

Consummate Plush, an exhibition organized by artist and independent curator Janet Goleas, takes its name from an Emily Dickinson poem titled, Part One: Life, CXXXVIII. Fueled by Dickinson’s expansive intuition, veracity, and her elastic use of language, the exhibition will explore identity, abstraction, and the phenomenological nature of vision.

Selected artists include Virva Hinnemo, Laurie Lambrecht, Christa Maiwald, Linda Miller, George Negroponte, Judith Page, Bonnie Rychlak, Daniel Wiener, Lucy Winton, and Charles Yuen.

The enigmatic genius of Emily Dickinson has been studied for over a century, yet she remains a beguiling literary – and literal – conundrum. Part mystic, part heretic, she wrote in metaphor with aching clarity. Dickinson envisioned the mind and spiritless as concepts than as actual places; she feigned conventionality in her dress and manner yet was an early and vocal feminist, and her use of language and grammar upended literary convention. She questioned faith, morality, pain, and ecstasy. A botany aficionado and gardener, the poet also assembled an herbarium of 424 flowers, now residing at the Harvard Houghton Rare Book Library. Her posthumous success revealed Dickinson to be one of the great modernist voices in American poetry.

Consummate Plush is a response to Dickinson’s quiet yet radical oeuvre, her flexible use of structure, and the depth of her self-inquiry. Judith Page’s veiled figures and Daniel Wiener’s fantastical motifs possess vestiges of the Gothic, touching on Dickinson’s plastic sense of identity and mortality. Christa Maiwald’s embroidered images recall the stitched bundles of poetry found in the poet’s bureau after her death. Lucy Winton and Charles Yuen share a sense of the dreamscape – places where the chimerical exists alongside this-ness and otherness. Virva Hinnemo’s use of gesture and spatial depth transport us to an environment in which writing and imagery coexist. Bonnie Rychlak’s subversive drains offer both a sense of escape and reflection, and Linda Miller’s examinations of organic form elude to abstract figuration and the monumental. For George Negroponte, an incisive use of pastiche and tight, visual reciprocity conjures Dickinson’s startling poetic structure. In Laurie Lambrecht’s embroidered rocks and photographic imagery, it is the poet’s genteel life in the botanical that confers a sense of natural wonder, order, and reverence.
