SUMMARY:Contested Terrains
DESCRIPTION:Landscape remains important for contemporary artists\, yet many have a dramatically different relationship to the genre. The five artists featured in Contested Terrains acknowledge how human intervention has shaped landscapes across the Americas. Together\, these artists extend the potential of landscape as a genre\, and allow it to function as an entryway to overlooked histories\, acknowledging how politics\, power\, and extraction have shaped the Americas as we know them today.

SUMMARY:Solo(s): Krista Franklin
DESCRIPTION:Krista Franklin (American\, b. 1970) creates books\, poetry\, collages\, handmade paper\, installations\, murals\, performances\, sound works\, sculptures\, and lectures. Solo(s): Krista Franklin draws on the artist’s vast range of materials and references\, situated at the intersection of poetics\, popular culture\, and the dynamic histories of the African Diaspora. Often referring to the performance of a single musician\, the exhibition’s title\, ​Solo(s) is instead guided by the artist’s commitment to collaboration with fellow artists\, writers\, and musicians. As a political gesture\, Franklin appropriates text and images from vintage magazine articles and other printed matter that she collects. The very act of collaging—cutting\, pasting\, and juxtaposing—puts Franklin’s works in direct conversation with the materials of other photographers and writers\, transporting her to the time of their original publication.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Annalee Davis
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by the artist and writer Annalee Davis. Combining history\, ecology\, and cultural activism\, Davis explores the extractivist plantation history of Barbados\, where she lives and works. Her practice\, which often engages community and collaborators\, includes walking\, writing\, artmaking\, growing plots\, and more recently\, embroidery. In this talk\, the artist will discuss her process and recent projects\, including A Garden of Hope (Barbados) and Pray to Flowers – A Plot of Disalienation (Sharjah\, UAE). This event will take place in Taste Restaurant. \nThe event is free and open to the public\, but RSVPs are encouraged as space is limited.   \nRSVP FOR THE talk \nAnnalee Davis is a Barbadian visual artist and writer whose practice combines history and biography in discussions of  ‘post-plantation economies’ with cultural activism in the arts sector. Davis’ works explore Barbados’ transformation from a once biodiverse landscape to sugar plantations and more recently a tourism-dependent island\, both arguably sectors of enclosure and exclusion. She understands the plantation as an economic model irrevocably impacting the contemporary environment whose historical legacy has been traumatically inscribed upon the landscape and its people. Working in her studio located on an operational dairy farm–once a 17th-century plantation–Davis exposes the poly-vocal narratives buried beneath the land. Drawing\, walking\, making (bush) teas\, and growing living apothecaries\, her practice suggests future strategies for repair and thriving while investigating the role of botanicals and living plots as ancestral sites of refusal\, counter-knowledge\, and healing. A Caribbean activist nurturing more equitable platforms for emerging artists\, her work as the Founding Director of Fresh Milk\, and co-founder of Caribbean Linked\, Tilting Axis\, and Sour Grass–promotes pan-Caribbean community engagement by working with artists across the multi-lingual archipelago. Collectively\, they reinforce the healthy growth of contemporary visual arts in the region\, by working with artists who often feel marginalized from mainstream society. Davis is a graduate of Fine Arts from Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey\, and The Maryland Institute College of Art\, USA.   \nSolo exhibitions include Reseeding the Post-Plantation\, Barbados Museum & Historical Society; re:wilding\, Haarlem Artspace\, UK; Heartseed\, TEOR/éTica\, Costa Rica; This Ground Beneath My Feet – A Chorus of Bush in Rab Lands\, The Idea Lab\, The Warfield Center\, University of Texas\, Austin\, USA.   \nCurrent group exhibitions include:  Linhas Tortas\, ”Mendes Wood São Paulo\, Brazil;  Against Apartheid\,  KARST\, Plymouth\, UK;  Seeds and Souls\, Kunsthal Charlottenborg\, Copenhagen. Recent shows include: Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present\, Sharjah\, UAE;  What’s on your Plate?\,  Hayy Jameel\, Jeddah\, UAE;  And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers?”\, Kunsthalle Wien\, Austria. \nwww.annaleedavis.com | @annalee.devere

SUMMARY:Speed Up Your Drawing
DESCRIPTION:This class will emphasize speed and accuracy in your drawings including how to start drawings faster. Students will be pushed on speed earlier in the class and then can relax into a longer drawing in the second half of the class. No laid-back\, leisurely drawing in this class. Standing is required to get an accurate drawing with speed and movement. Like athletics\, quick drawing requires active body movement and the ability to move to get a better angle. Drawing faster requires repetitive practice. \n\nAdults
