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
