NEW WORK AT COLLECTIVE.1 DESIGN FAIR, NYC
SOLO SHOW AT JMKAC OPEN NOW THRU AUG. 18, 2013!
Lauren Fensterstock: The Celebration of Formal Effects, Whether Natural or Artificial
on view from 3/3/13- 8/18/13 at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, WI
JMKAC
"Creating three distinct gardens using ornately quilled, cut, and sculpted black paper, the artist presents highly crafted, delicate installations that embody the contradictions of all gardens. Her installation allows viewers to marvel at the human imagination that went into creating worlds out of nature. Simultaneously, the choice to use black to create the gardens symbolizes grief, perhaps lamenting the moments when human imagination gives way to arrogance, and “the natural” is imposed on nature."

DUBH: DIALOGUES IN BLACK
American Irish Historical Society
991 Fifth Avenue. New York, NY 10028
October 7th to November 13th, 2011
Open: Thursday - Sunday 10-5pm
In dubh; dialogues in black international curator Brian Kennedy looks at black as both a physical and emotional starting point for the most interesting creative voices from Ireland in dialogue with their American peers. This project also places great importance on how design/craft is viewed and discussed; as a result the catalogue for dubh; dialogues in black will include essays by Irish and American writers, who will discuss and debate the issues surrounding the exhibition.
Following the show in New York, the exhibition returns to Ireland where it will appear at Oliver Sears Gallery, Molesworth Street, Dublin from February 2 to March 15, 2012. Further information on both these events, and other future projects, can be found at STUDIOpractice

TWO SHOWS OPEN IN MAY!
Lauren Fensterstock: Incidents of Garden Displacement (see below)
and
Field of Vision: Artists Explore Place
May 22 – October 2, 2011
Racine Art Museum
Our feelings or memories about a place are formed by how a location (beach, forest, field, building) feels, not just by how it looks. Details are often minimized by overall thoughts and impressions—sounds, textures, light, and smells. The nine artists represented in Field of Vision respond to and explore their perceptions of “place” through carved wax flowers, hanging plants made of porcelain paper clay, atmospheric paintings on mirrored glass, and jewelry referencing landscapes. Artists whose works are featured in this exhibition include Olga de Amaral (Colombia), Nicole Chesney (RI), Lauren Fensterstock (ME), Mary Giles (MN), Sarah Hood (WA), Rebecca Hutchinson (MA), Jolynn Krystosek (NY), Harold O’Connor (CO) and Beverly Penn (TX).
