ARTIST TALK: Nov. 5, noon
In “Places and Spaces,” painter Richard Niewerth investigates the moments and spaces of urban transience, from crosswalks and subway platforms to sidewalks and bus stops. His paintings are populated with people, however, despite the multiple figures that appear in them, the people rarely engage with each other or interact with their environment. Ranging from photorealistic to near abstract slashes of painterly strokes that evoke more than they reveal, Niewerth employs a variety of techniques to examine the way we communicate in public spaces. A self-professed people watcher, the people in Niewerth’s paintings are momentarily stilled amid their comings and goings. These instances are those we often overlook in our daily lives, where commutes and moving from place to place distract us from our relationship to those around us. Key for Niewerth is the body language of his figures; how they carry themselves and interact (or not) with their surroundings, and the way we read people as we navigate our daily lives. There is a sense of isolation and alienation in Niewerth’s figures, as they navigate the urban spaces of the modern city where one is both alone and yet never truly alone.
Richard Niewerth is a professor emeritus in the Visual Arts department at AACC, where he served as department chair for 18 years. He was among the department's founding members and key to the growth of the major in visual arts. A tireless advocate for art and the development of the department, he was integral to bringing digital media and computers to the visual arts at AACC.
Niewerth has long exhibited his painting regionally, nationally and internationally. His work can be found in a number of permanent collections including the Maryland Senate building, the Permanent College of Maryland Artists at Towson State University, Delaware Museum of Art, Do Museu Nactional de Belas Artes and Do Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Richard Niewerth
I’m an active practitioner of the art of people watching. My work explores my interest in the realm of non-verbal communications commonly known as body language. More precisely, how we view and respond to those around us. Psychologists tell us that our perceptions of others are influenced by many and varied factors, such as demeanor, dress, prejudices and our past experiences. When confronting strangers in public spaces, we may vilify certain individuals as being unsavory while to others we may attribute heroic qualities. In response to our perceptions of others, we initiate what I call the dance of self-awareness in which we seek, through body language, the appropriate outward projections as a means of dealing with the common space we are forced to share. When looking at my paintings, the viewer is invited to respond to the body language of the players and form their own narrative.

Reception and Juror's talk: May 1, 5-7 pm in the gallery
View works by 25 artists in “Art of Accumulation,” a national juried show, April 24 through May 22 at AACC's Cade Center for Fine Arts Gallery. The show is juried by Tara Gladden, cultural affairs and engagement specialist for Salisbury University.
Join us for a reception and juror’s talk on May 1 from 5 to 7 pm.
Gladden chose works that engage with the concept of accumulation through the combination and exploration of nontraditional materials, repetitive processes, and/or relationships among material, time, memory and experience.
Briana Babani of Red Hook, N.Y., created “Cukoo,” a found chair obsessively wrapped in spaghetti, where the chair’s utilitarian function for sitting has been humorously usurped into nonutilitarian “art-for-art’s sake.” Jamie Speck of College Station, Texas, transforms used fabric softener sheets into tactile fiber modules that reference elegant home furnishings and, on a more intimate scale, the process art of Eva Hesse. In Erik Jon Olson of Plymouth, Minnesota’s, aptly-titled “You Can Never Have Enough of What You Don’t Really Want,” the artist threads plastic waste into a commanding and scintillating quilt grid. In Artemis Herber of Owings Mills Maryland’s assemblage, “Phlegeton,” references to the infernal river of Hell are played out in cautionary nuclear waste graphics and the faint echo of human presence. Chris Combs of Washington, D.C., uses outmoded digital displays of countdowns that never quite reach their completion, and references to Fritz Lang’s 1927 film “Metropolis” to comment on contemporary fears of AI takeover.
Juror Tara Gladden is a cultural producer, curator, interdisciplinary artist, and educator. From 2019-2023 she served as Gallery Director and Curator for the Kohl Gallery at Washington College and is currently serving as cultural affairs and engagement specialist for Salisbury University. She holds an MFA in performance and interactive media arts from Brooklyn College.
Dates: March 27-April 17, 2024
Exhibit Reception: March 28, 5-7 p.m.
View 90 student artworks juried by Steven Pearson of McDaniel College and selected from 300 artworks submitted by students. The works on display encompass the range of visual disciplines at AACC, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, ceramics, graphic and digital design, video and mixed media pieces.
Pearson, the Joan Develin Coley chair in Creative Expressions and the Arts at McDaniel College, also chose nine pieces to enter AACC’s Student Art Collection. Pearson chose two photographs by Reed Talada; one is a cyanotype and the other a digital print entitled “Wash Away,” a close-up of a sudsy cleaning sponge with a miniature plastic figure perched aboard. Joshua Able-Curter’s documentary style photograph “Street Dreams,” shot in downtown Baltimore, was also chosen. Christopher J. Pipkin’s cyanotype entering the Student Art Collection “Beware the Gibbon” contrasts beautifully with Talada’s cyanotype in its atmospheric effects. Other works entering the Student Collection include Mark Lindley’s pen and ink piece “Clowns and Geese;” Louise Wallendorf’s large-scale lithograph based on a sculpted Hellenic horse head in the Walters Museum collection; John Doran’s striking figural/abstract lithograph; and Sarah Evans’ pastoral color linocut “Summer II.” Pearson also chose Elaine Storm’s iridescently-glazed green ceramic piece “Raku Box."

PECHA KUCHA ARTISTS' TALK: Feb. 8, 4:30-5 p.m.
EXHIBIT RECEPTION: Feb. 8, 5-7 p.m.
In “Street View,” painters Matt Klos and Nora Sturges investigate the visual contours and terrain of cityscapes both near and far from home. Klos’ series "A Community Portrait" investigates his historically working-class community of Sparrows Point by tracing the alleyways and painting on site. Generally, each painting spans a few hours of working time to capture a particular light, time of day and season. In the series "The View from the Road," Sturges paints from screenshots she takes in Google Street View following the route Charles Darwin took on his voyage with the Beagle (1832-'36). These meticulously crafted paintings reveal idiosyncratic contemporary moments. Both artists value discovery by looking closely. Their ideas are couched in the time required to paint in an empirical and investigative manner.
ARTISTS’ STATEMENTS:
MATT KLOS
"A Community Portrait" is a series of small format paintings of my community made during my sabbatical in spring 2023. Subjects include the outbuildings as seen from the back alleys near my home and front views of houses along a historically black and landlocked street in Sparrows Point. Over the last 20 years I’ve spent time observing these often-overlooked areas, which I have seen on walks at various times of day. I’m often surprised by the endless variations and beauty found here. As we increasingly choreograph our identities via social media, slavishly attending to every detail of how we may be perceived, it's refreshing to see a dimension of our public facing selves that is not as self-conscious and as premeditated. Our homes reveal volumes. I see each painting in this project as a type of portrait and, as such, communicates both specific and general truths about our communities and ourselves.
Matt Klos received his M.F.A. in painting from University of Maryland, College Park and his B.F.A. from Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD). He is a recipient of four Individual Artist Awards from the Maryland State Arts Council (2019, 2016, 2012 and 2008). His work has been featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions including the Prince Street Gallery in Chelsea, N.Y., in 2011. He was awarded first place in the Bethesda Painting Awards in 2007 and received an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant in 2001. Klos teaches drawing and painting full time at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, and has served as a guest lecturer/critic at various institutions including the New York Academy of Art, Boston University, College of William and Mary, Towson University, University of Missouri and Mount Gretna School of Art. He is a member of the collective Perceptual Painters and Zeuxis.
NORA STURGES
Since 2008, I have worked intermittently on a series of tiny paintings collectively called "The View from the Road." My original inspiration was the early color photographs of Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii, who set out in 1905 to document the Russian empire, and my paintings offered me an opportunity to document the interesting things I saw on my own travels, out in the world near home and farther afield. During the pandemic, deprived of actual travel, I found myself devoting considerable time to exploring foreign places in Google Street View, and wanting to paint the wonderful things I was discovering. Instead of using chance or previous knowledge to choose places to explore, I decided to follow the route Charles Darwin took on his voyage with the Beagle (1832-'36). Like Darwin, I am convinced of the value of observation, especially the intense observation painting entails, even when the subject is, on the surface, boring. Darwin’s observations led, years later, to the theories of natural selection and evolution he set forth in "On the Origin of Species;" already my voyage and observations are leading me to ideas about the human species.
Nora Sturges has exhibited her work widely in solo shows at the Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, Va., Spaces in Cleveland, David Lusk Gallery in Nashville, C. Grimaldis Gallery and School 33 in Baltimore, the 1708 Gallery in Richmond, and the Lancaster (Pa.) Museum of Art, among others. Her group exhibitions have included Lonsdale Gallery in Toronto, Galerie Youn in Montreal, Civilian Art Projects in Washington, D.C., Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien in Berlin, Germany, the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, Asya Geisberg Gallery and The Painting Center in New York City, Seraphin Gallery in Philadelphia, and Goucher College and Maryland Art Place in Baltimore. She is the recipient of four Individual Artist Awards from the Maryland State Arts Council. Sturges received a B.A. in studio art from Bowdoin College, and an M.F.A. in painting from Ohio University. She lives in Baltimore where she is professor of art at Towson University.

EXHIBIT RECEPTION: Nov. 1, 5-7 p.m.
CURATOR STATEMENT: It was an honor to juror 'Disconnect/Connect,' a group show open to the members of Han-Mee Artists Association of Greater Washington (HMAA). HMAA is a collective of Korean American artists who have immigrated to the Washington area. Like other immigrants and their descendants, they struggle to maintain ties with a land and culture that is physically distant, struggle to make connections with American life and culture, and struggle to maintain a sense of community with the past and present.
When I began selecting work, I was looking for pieces that showed a link between two cultures, either visually with subject matter or through materials and processes. I was particularly drawn to work that hinted at nostalgia whilst being of the present and to work that incorporated tradition through a contemporary lens. Each of the selected artists spoke to me through their individual and unique interpretation of the theme. Through sculpture, relief and painting, these artists express the sensation of being simultaneously connected and disconnected to the past and present and to their native country and their adopted land.
ABOUT THE CURATOR: Sculptor Jin Lee, b. 1975, studied sculpture at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Lee returned to Maryland in 2012 and teaches at Anne Arundel Community College. Lee received the Wharton Award in 2003 and has exhibited her work in Germany, San Francisco, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Virginia. She currently has works on view at The Maryland Hall Center for the Arts in Annapolis.
Lee creates abstract work in a range of scales using steel, wood and mixed media. Her sculptures address concepts of tension, pressure and the struggle to be free. Her explosive sculptures are comprised mostly of wedge-shaped elements tightly bound between heavy steel plates or trapped in cement and exhibit evidence of the performative aspect behind her concept. Her most recent works of crocheted copper and aluminum wire address the paradox of isolation from the public and the forced proximity of a household, the conflicting emotions for the safety of containment, and the desire to roam freely.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT: “The object is not to make art but to be in the wonderful state which makes art inevitable. I am not interested in art as a means of making a living, but I am interested in art as a means of living a life." – Robert Henri, "The Art Spirit." The artists selected for this show have integrated art-making as part of their lifestyle with passion, necessity and joy. They have a variety of day jobs: art preparator, landscaper, lawyer, event planner and graphic designer. They have continued to make art despite everyday life and work demands, and have found a way to incorporate their practice into the everyday. The practice of art-making as a way to live is to self-reflect in celebration of life. The artwork and the artist are one. The artwork results from such practice – an appreciation for a good life.
ABOUT THE CURATOR: Andrew Liang immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan in 1993. He received a B.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2002. He was a founding member of Splotch Visual Pulse, a web-based, artist-run collective showcasing and reviewing artworks submitted from around the world from 2003 to 2006. Liang co-directed Current Space, an artist-run collective, from 2010 to 2018, curating exhibitions and events. He has co-directed collaborative art projects that invite viewer participation such as Human Foosball (2009), Mole Balls (2010), Human Pinball (2011), Cart (2011) and BINGO (2012). Liang worked as an exhibition preparator and installation manager for the Maryland Institute College of Art from 2005 to 2020. He is now pursuing an M.F.A. from UMBC.

About the Exhibit: Artists have long used comedy as a tool to critique society and an art establishment that takes itself too seriously. From the playful irreverence of Marcel Duchamp, Maurizio Cattelan and Sarah Lucas to the dark satire of Francisco Goya, Honoré Daumier and Martine Syms, artists have employed diverse forms of humor to elicit laughter while revealing cutting truths. Through a national open call, "Tell it Slant: Art with Wit" brings together work that responds to contemporary issues using one of the most potent yet disrespected weapons in the artist’s arsenal.
About the Juror: Sarah Jesse is the director of the Academy Art Museum in Easton. Before arriving on the Eastern Shore in 2021, she was interim director and CEO of the Orange County Museum of Art, associate vice president of education at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, director of education at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Okla., and worked at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. She is a graduate of the Museum Leadership Institute, received her Master of Arts in art history from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and her Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin College.
