SUMMARY:Mind's eye art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Mind’s Eye\n\n\n\nA journey from illness to healing: A neurodivergent perspective \n\n\n\nPainting Exhibition by Anne R. Laperriere\n\n\n\nSeptember 2 – 6\, 2025\n\n\n\n*Reception: Friday\, Sept 5th | 6-8P\n\n\n\n**Artist Talk: Saturday\, Sept 6th | 2:30-3:30P\n\n\n\n*live music by Rene El Jaguar\n\n\n\n**with Special guest Slam Poet Euridice L. White \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Mind’s Eye \n\n\n\nI had the courage to begin this series of autobiographical acrylic paintings in 2022. The series is made up of bold\, figurative works whose characters\, mostly self likenesses\, show states of mental health and illness I’ve grown into\, out of\, and lived with during my lifetime. The viewer is taken into scenes expressing feelings and events such as depression\, terror\, mania\, solitude\, and thriving experienced during a lifetime of neurodivergent existence. “Mind’s Eye” speaks about mental illness\, wellbeing\, and the transformation and healing of the human mind and spirit.  \n\n\n\nColors in the compositions are either confronting and contrasting\, or subdued\, foreboding and calm. The paint is layered\, creating an obsessive history and rich hue. Animal beings and symbolic images appear intermingled with the figures. Paleolithic and Neolithic pattern and sculpture and hints of ancient mysticism also appear\, plumbing the depths of the psyche and communicating in a primal language of emotion and notion.  Brushstrokes are broad and emotive or tiny and repetitive. A carefully considered\, bold composition of shapes and human/animal bodies is seen from afar\, while tedious detail work is enjoyed up close. \n\n\n\nMore About Anne  \n\n\n\nAnne Laperriere is a multi-disciplinary artist who grew up in and around Detroit\, Michigan. Here\, she spent her childhood lost in art making\, branching out to other activities such as dissecting deceased birds in the backyard\, melting plastic animals in the microwave\, and experimenting with her mother’s cosmetics.  \n\n\n\nHer lifelong obsession with art led her to earn a scholarship for study of sculpture at the Cleveland Institute of Art. She experienced working and interning in the field of museum taxidermy and exhibit creation at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History\, and the Smithsonian’s exhibits department. When bouts with undiagnosed bipolar disorder became challenging\, Anne relocated away from the harsh winters in Detroit and Cleveland to her current Winston Salem\, North Carolina. Here she worked for fifteen years in an operating room\, while creating a painting series of inspirations experienced on the job.  \n\n\n\nIn the present\, Anne is employed as a faux-finisher\, and in her basement studio  builds a series of paintings about her experiences through mental illness and wellbeing. She has turned to art making as a therapy\, an expression\, and a means of communication about her journey as a human being through existence.   \n\n\n\nLearn more about Anne by visiting her website here and following her in IG: @anne_ruth_laperriere \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:The last days of the news and record photo exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Last Days of the News and Record\n\n\n\nPhoto Exhibition by Mercer Bufter\n\n\n\n September 2 – 6\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, Sept 5th | 6-8P\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Last Days of the News and Record  \n\n\n\nI didn’t think much about the News and Record building until they started knocking it down. Then I got kind of obsessed. I photographed the building and site routinely\, mostly while I was doing other things. I used whatever camera and film I was carrying at the moment. In that way\, my photos of the News and Record are both intentional and careless\, considered and unplanned. All of the stories connected to that site are basically hidden from me. The photographs are simply visual explorations of what it’s like to wonder about a specific place many times over many months. In addition to the prints on the wall\, there are two volumes of photos for passers-by to browse. The News and Record site is a small plot and an inherent part of this work is the repetition of views and details as they changed over the months. The interior photos\, on the other hand\, cannot be updated since the destruction of the building was final. Those images\, and the hidden stories connected to them\, receded farther and farther into the past as the site was cleared of machinery\, cleared of rubble\, and filled in with grasses and weeds. They continue to recede\, I suppose\, as the geese enjoy the new little pond they’ve gained since the demolition of the News and Record. \n\n\n\nMore About Mercer  \n\n\n\nMercer Bufter is a poet and photographer in Greensboro\, N.C. His photos of Beef Burger were exhibited in Greensboro Project Space’s 2024 Community Arts Show and his series on the destruction of Henry Louis Smith Homes on Florida Street was shown at Hemphill Branch Library and Vance Chavis Branch Library\, both in 2024. He photographs people\, places\, and things wherever he goes. \n\n\n\nTo learn more follow Mercer on instagram @ mr._ez_pz \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Gallery Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12 -5 PM \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5PM

SUMMARY:that which remains art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:That Which Remains\n\n\n\nExhibition by Leigh Ann Hallberg and Paul Bright\n\n\n\nSeptember 16 – 27\, 2025\n\n\n\n*Reception: Friday\, Sept 19th | 6-8P\n\n\n\n*Gallery walk-through with artists\, 6:30p\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About That Which Remains  \n\n\n\nBeginning with our hominin ancestors\, artists have always made use of found materials\, recovered objects\, and their specific qualities to create art. But increasingly\, materials for art became subsumed mostly as vehicles for depiction and expression; as a means to an end. The singular qualities of the materials of art begin to reassert themselves in the late 19th C\, not merely coincidentally with the rise of photography. The photograph\, so successful in recording the specificity of surfaces\, the lighting and chiaroscuro of forms\, the “facts” of appearances\, allowed a medium like paint to more freely exhibit its inherent qualities\, even when used in the service of depiction. (Much of Impressionism was structured and animated by this interplay of the physicality of evident paint and the expression it facilitated.) The introduction of collage in Cubism and the conceptual deployment of found objects in the work of Duchamp et al\, brought intense focus on the materials of art as well as the proposition that art no longer needed be as created as it had been. It could be composed of preexisting things\, found and repurposed objects\, in a new\, industrialized world of burgeoning objects of all kinds. The artist’s role in this context was largely that of selector – not unlike a photographer taking a picture – finding or stumbling across the right object to convey an intended meaning\, a meaning which very often arose in part from the found object itself\, which carried a history of past use and significance that intertwined with its new role as art object. Improvisatory\, aleatory or chance methodologies often guided selection of the objects and the creation of these works. Our work in That Which Remains acknowledges this lineage and these approaches in varying degrees. \n\n\n\nOur respective work is diverse in the forms it assumes\, in its intentions\, and in its stylistic permutations. But in That Which Remains\, we are presenting works that share  \n\n\n\na focus on traces\, palimpsests\, residue\, and remnants. With the commonality of being made from detritus\, from the Found\, of discarded parts and fragments\, the works evince improvisation\, construction\, and accretion as compositional methods. The work is varied but coheres through conceptual\, aesthetic\, and visual overlaps. Our interventions on our chosen objects can be minimal or subtle\, but they are significant. \n\n\n\nLeigh Ann’s work evinces a preoccupation with lineage\, phenomena of “nature\,” and scales of time and experience\, in both the outer and inner worlds of human experience and the related proportionality of abstraction and figuration. It incorporates manipulated and reconfigured heirlooms; a woman’s dress gloves (Chirality); a sectioned and reconfigured Murray Bay wool blanket (Murray Bay: Standing Wave; a broken plate with inscribed figures of a seemingly runic numerology (3:2); re-embroidered linens (Leighs\, Nana’s Helix); and durational paintings called Accretions. She also presents an elegant metaphor for our toxic\, over-consumptive present\, Core Sample\, a totem holding layered and compressed plastic waste\, reminiscent of glacial ice samples containing the stratified atmospheric history of eons.  \n\n\n\nPaul’s are fundamentally abstract works\, even when they are composed of figurative or recognizable elements. They eschew or disrupt narrative. They traffic in advertising imagery – the “de/collages” of found materials and removed posters\, the serendipitous Tear Sheets – and the found materials that pervade our lives (Just Like A Box). He is interested in how the physical degradation of their components mirrors their materialist and often retrograde messages. However\, when these elements and ambiguous images are recontextualized in collaged compositions\, they reveal an unexpected poetry. This is also elicited from the “aural quotidian” in his sound collages’ arrangement of found and recorded sounds (Wet in Dry)\, while the direct\, minimal contrasts of topical printed matter (of Minor Interventions) opportunistically reveals the unintended irony or ready-made satire of their sources. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Beautiful In My Eyes art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful In My Eyes\n\n\n\nSolo Exhibition by Grace Thompson\n\n\n\n September 30 – October 4\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, October 3rd | 6-8P\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Beautiful in My Eyes \n\n\n\nBeautiful in My Eyes features a group of observational oil paintings that focus on capturing lived moments in time. The work in this exhibit evokes memories of paused moments in daily life\, crafting nostalgic feelings and thoughts. As life can be unpredictable\, I seek stability by recording familiar spaces to appreciate the time spent in them and with the people I care about. This prompts me to accept spaces for what they offer rather than staging a scene. Often\, I jump into painting without preparatory drawings because the subject changes as the environment moves through time. The paintings invite the audience to reflect on small things and moments that matter to them\, whether that be observing how the sun comes through the window during midday or a napping family pet.  \n\n\n\nMore About Grace  \n\n\n\nI am an observational oil painter interested in capturing fleeting moments in time. Many of my paintings render the progression of quotidian spaces across sessions\, capturing movement of objects\, people\, and light. I explore the sense of nostalgia in mundane spaces through rigorous rhythmic applications of mark and color. \n\n\n\nFollow Grace on Instagram @gracthomp \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Gallery Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12 -5 PM \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5PM
