Spit It Out!

in the Main Gallery

Opening First Friday March 6th , 6-9 pm

March 6th-27th, 2009

In March, The 621 Gallery presents Spit it Out!, an exhibition revealing the narrative elements of pop-art, deconstruction, and contemporary invention. Alan Skees reacts to current events in a playful, yet critical manner using large-scale two-dimensional graphic art. Ivan Fortushniak exposes the history of paintings by creating distressed surfaces via unconventional methods. Mark Mcleod manipulates truth by incorporating myth and fiction into authentic narrative illustrations.

Glitter Chariot will be performing “All That Heaven Will Allow”, featuring Ryan Berg, Chuck Carbia, Kelly Boehmer, Danielle Shockley, and Lexi Braun. This new performance brings sweet and tragic melodrama together with fantastic characters and sentimental song, completing a fiercely tender yet gruesome and unfortunate story of love. This retelling of the story of Ernie and Bert is thrust into a lovers’ triangle where the love of romance isn’t destroyed; the love of friendship is. Friends in need of each other are faced with the need to continue in the wake of brutal death. Memories of a past imagined (Germany, Kirshner’s Rock Concert, Sesame Street) run rampant, and the tenuousness of their bond is destroyed.

About the Juror:

Aja Roache currently teaches Art Management at Florida A&M University.

She currently serves as Gallery Coordinator at FAMU’s Foster Tanner Fine Arts Gallery.

Juror’s Statement:

“When selecting the art work for ANJE IV, I initially considered strong visual aesthetics. ‘Aesthetics’ being such a subjective consideration, I had to come up with an additional rubric to more objectively define what it is that made me choose one art work over another. After my initial curiosity of each visually striking art piece, I looked closer at the artists’ other images to ensure their work appears to be consistently on a path: technically, conceptually and skillfully. Once these elements were confirmed through long periods of more detailed observations of each image, I felt capable of making final decisions.” “It was a difficult decision to make due to the size limitation of the show, but I am honored to have participated in such a wonderful competition and gallery program. All of the artists that submitted work should be proud of the art they are producing and their contributions to the creative world.”

Head, Tadja Dragoo

In the Nan Boynton Memorial Gallery

The solo exhibition in the by ANJE III Best in Show Artist, Tadja Dragoo.

In No Illusion of Containment: New Works by Anne Stagg and Judy Rushin, the artists invoke complimentary views of social instability, intentional shortcomings, and the way we build our worlds.

Anne Stagg’s paintings pair together the optimism of choice with the tragic beauty of loss through an investigation of regional social constructs. Attempts at perfection intentionally fall short creating a quirky individuality within a hackneyed formula.  Through the repetition of this formula, Stagg shows us that the same rules applied to individuals create wide-cast variations and that when choice is allowed to enter into a formula, the structure begins to show flaws and break down.

“Judy Rushin proposes [that the] painting frame might offer a perspective outside the gallery into our own isolated and compromised existence. Long fascinated by the quotidian: by the life of children and by their architecture of forts, clubhouses and improvised structures, Rushin subverts the usual promise of painting, to offer a window into other worlds; a portal to some beautiful place.”  (Felicia Feaster)

In her newest piece, to be debuted at 621, Reversible: Temporary Refuge for a Benefactor, Rushin constructs a room from the Fort paintings, completing the circular nature of her methodology.

621 Gallery Opens New Exhibit on First Friday, October 2nd

Restricted Geography: Daniel Kariko, Cindy Stockton Moore, John Raulerson

Florida’s inland highways are littered with signs announcing residential development opportunities, proclaiming, “ A Great Place to Live!” Sprouting subdivisions are replacing orange groves, palmettos and cattle land.  However, Daniel Kariko and John Raulerson illustrate how the idyllic roadside billboards paint a much different picture than the life in these undeveloped and ghostly instant-communities.

Cindy Stockton Moore explores the fragmented landscape and reveals painting as a process of artifice and intervention. In these imagined scenes, nature is a site for transgression and transition: both geographically and psychologically.  The current exhibition consists of three distinct series that also incorporate my personal connection to the North Florida region.

This exhibit will run October 2nd through October 25th.The 621 Gallery is open to the public Wednesday – Friday 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Saturday – Sunday 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.  Visit www.621Gallery.org for more information.

Little’s “ghost” serves as a vehicle for her cultural and personal history that can all be seen through video.

Blank Walls

First Friday, August 4th, 6:00 – 9:00pm

621 will kick off the new exhibition season on First Friday, August 4th, 2006. This year we are planning to start the year with something a little different from our usual activities. Starting at 6pm we will have “Blank Walls” at the Gallery. We will have crayons and open frams mounted in the Gallery so that our new members can fill the empty walls because without their support that’s all we would ever have. Blank Walls is a membership drive to help support the Gallery and raise money for the upcoming exhibition seaons. All membership dollars go to support the exhibitions and other events at 621. We are planning to bring you a new and outstanding exhibition each month next year with an opening on each First Friday. Come and show your support, listen to some live music, draw on the walls and become a member!
