SUMMARY:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! | Art Student Residency Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! \n\n\n\nThe Greensboro Project Space Art Student Residency Program \n\n\n\nAugust Cohort in Residence: August 5 – 17\, 2024 \n\n\n\nOpen Public Studios Hours: \n\n\n\nAugust 12th | 12-3p \n\n\n\nAugust 14th | 12-5p \n\n\n\nAugust 16th | 6-8p \n\n\n\nGPS is pleased to present the 2nd annual student residency program\, Summer Studios: Arts on Site! This residency will assist in educating students that the gallery can also act as makerspace\, where they can play\, experiment\, take creative risks\, and develop their artistic voice. \n\n\n\nDesigned to support UNCG undergraduate student artists (BA + BFA) striving to develop\, adapt\, and/or reinvent their creative process and to promote artistic growth and development\, artists are afforded two-weeks of uninterrupted research and development\, coupled with financial support and public presentational platforms to share their creative work. The residency’s mission is to be an adaptive space to build a sustaining art community for our UNCG students so their creativity and connection to the Greensboro community thrives.  \n\n\n\nThis student opportunity was made possible by our Founding Sponsor\, Maggie Triplette \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAugust Cohort \n\n\n\nConstantine Sotos (BFA Printmaking and Drawing) plans to use several mediums\, such as charcoal\, ink\, metal\, linoleum\, and photographs to explore his experience of living and growing up in Lumberton\, NC. Lumberton has always been the city that his mind wanders to and he plans to assemble a space as a tribute to this place which\, out of pure luck\, he has since moved from. There will be several pieces of debris from Lumberton placed around the space to bring any viewer into a different environment/state of mind. Prior to the two weeks at GPS\, he will record the people and places of Lumberton\, as well as gather materials from around the town. \n\n\n\nLaura Herandez (BFA Painting) intends to investigate the relationships between familial connections that people could possibly have that are heavily focused on Hispanic/Latino backgrounds through painting. This research will be conducted by comparing multiple experiences from different perspectives and delving on how these links might be based on other outside hardships that individuals could go through that can cause these relationships to transpire. This subjected would be incorporated through works in symbolic visuals or icons that will be deliberately ambiguous at the surface. Research will span from documentaries\, social media\, other’s experiences\, and so on. \n\n\n\nMelissa Ferguson (BFA Sculpture and Ceramics) will continue an exploration of movement and sound in conjunction with viewer interaction. She plans to experiment with different materials (wood\, metal\, and found objects) at a large scale and envision a room in which movement through will create a variety of noises. Using an armature to secure and hang items of varying materials and sizes at different lengths\, floor fans will also be used to activate the space when no one is in it. \n\n\n\nChloe Rush (BFA Drawing) will investigate how two portraits set in her inventive universe are in conversation with one another\, which draw upon her research interests. She draws black people in an Afro-futuristic Southern universe that she invented\, by using drawing mediums to explore the complexity of the multitudes of black identity in the South. Through these images she examines what defines “normal” in the context of growing up between two different classes in the South while challenging the logic of limiting stereotypes that pertain to black bodies to build new truths outside of the dominant narrative. She plans to experiment with defining what is considered “not normal” in the black south and shine a light on these “abnormalities.”

SUMMARY:Reversal\, reinterpretation\, reinvention art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reversal\, Reinterpretation\, Reinvention\n\n\n\nSolo Exhibition by Amiah Jones\n\n\n\nAugust 20 – 24\, 2024\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, August 23rd | 6-8PM\n\n\n\nMore About Reversal\, Reinterpretation\, Reinvention  \n\n\n\nReversal\, Reinterpretation\, Reinvention is a series of works that stem from a liminal space. This space is filled with the constructs we build between facing our pain and healing ourselves. These paintings\, drawings\, and prints are parts of me that have healed.  \n\n\n\nAs a biracial woman in the LGBTQ+ community\, my space is oftentimes dark\, much like the palette in many of my works. This place is bombarded with repeated instances of systematic oppression fueled by racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, and capitalism. From turning to history in order to understand such indoctrination\, to rethinking and reshaping how to see the world clearly\, these three objectives have helped me continue to see humanity with hope. I wish for a world where everyone’s truths are accepted with the care we only save for ourselves. After all\, the light that saves us is not shined upon us\, but embedded within the choices we make together.  \n\n\n\n“The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live\, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives. It is within this light that we form those ideas by which we pursue our magic and make it realized.”- Audrey Lorde \n\n\n\nMore About Amiah  \n\n\n\nAmiah Jones (b. 1999) is a Filipino-African American painter and printmaker based in Thomasville\, North Carolina. Using the human figure\, pattern\, reflection\, geometry\, and a limited palette\, her work embodies the layered richness of our fractured\, but retranslated history. Born to a Filipino mother and an African American father who grew up during the civil rights movement\, Jones’ experience in the Southern U.S. has shaped her passion for human rights and the visual arts. Her work has ignited her efforts to bridge the gaps between what makes empathy so vital today; unconditional love and fear of the misunderstood.  \n\n\n\n“Going to school in a rural town while having black inner city friends forced me to serve as a bridge\, constantly reminding my friends of the resilience and education of our ancestors\, while fighting to uncover the same truths to peers and teachers at school. I would come up with metaphors\, sometimes making people laugh just to get the attention off of the sudden discomfort I was reciprocating. My work now serves as that uncomfortable\, ironically playful but heartbreaking bridge.  \n\n\n\nWe live in a society where making space to exist freely\, for many\, is automatically seen as political. While this experience holds true\, beauty\, humor\, and familiarity provide a gateway – a gateway for people to accept a complexity that’s historically misunderstood\, historically unwanted. It’s incredibly difficult to find your own gateway\, your own visual language\, but my obsessions with play\, conflation\, and abstraction have allowed me to negotiate for my acceptance\, negotiate for change\, negotiate for love. I’ve been rooting for an ongoing connection with my blackness that’s richer than the quick anger\, cry\, absolve\, and I embrace that connection the most through the arts. Through oil painting and printmaking\, I grasp at the dimming sparks of goodness that fall within the crevices of what we call humanity. The little acts of kindness\, the subtle jokes we make in pain\, and the sparks of love that go unnoticed through the dark.”  \n\n\n\nJones is currently residing in Thomasville\, NC. She received her BFA in painting at the University of North Carolina Greensboro in May of 2024. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Public Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p
