This exhibit @Lichtundfire in NYC is up till March 1 with a conversation event on Saturday 2/22 (details below). And here is a glimpse of the catalogue I designed of Martin Weinstein’s beautiful work, with an essay by director and curator at Lichtundfire, Priska Juschka, available at the gallery. • CONVERSATION: With Martin Weinstein (artist), Robert Curcio (curcioprojects) D. Dominick Lombardi (artist, curator, writer) Moderated by Priska Juschka (director Lichtundfire) PANEL, Q&A and RECEPTION: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 | 5-7 PM • MARTIN WEINSTEIN Continuum: A History of Impermanence. A Solo Exhibition by Martin Weinstein Curated by Priska Juschka Exhibition Dates: February 6 – March 1. A Solo Exhibition by New York artist Martin Weinstein with a selection of works ranging across more than forty years, and his second solo exhibition at the gallery. The group of mainly paintings in various media explores the transition that work can engage in over time, while keeping close to the core of subject-matter, process, and viewpoint. Martin Weinstein has painted interiors and exteriors in direct contact with his subjects since the 1980s– carefully observing the changes of light, season, or time of day impactful to his compositions. • @lichtundfire #lichtundfire @msweinst #martinweinstein #painting #pastel #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #exhibition #artexhibition #gallery #galleryexhibition #newyorkgallery #newyorkartist #newyorkart #art #artist #curator #artcurator #les #lowereastside #lowereastsidenyc #conceptualart #landscapepainting #interiorpainting #newyorkgalleries #artgallery #worksonpaper #talk #panel #artisttalk #conversation

Design for the next exhibit at Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild to hang on the exterior (and interior) of the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, in Woodstock, NY.

Sad for the passing of artist Jayne Quick-to-See Smith, who I first became familiar with when designing a poster series that now resides in the Smithsonian - the series was for longtime design client Bread and Roses - the cultural arm of Union 1199/NYC (later absorbed into SEIU). The series, ‘Native American Women of Hope’ featured 12 pivotal women from around the country, and accompanied by a study guide for classrooms. More about this series and a photo of the poster at a future juncture. • Repost from @abqmuseum • Jaune Quick-to-See Smith 1940–2025 Albuquerque Museum mourns the passing of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. A citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, Jaune was a great artist, mentor, curator, and supporter of so many artists and young scholars. Her impact was immense, and she will be deeply missed. See her work in the collection on the Collections / e-museum page in our LinkTree.

Repost from @calderfoundation • In the early 1940s, Calder created a new series of open form sculptures made of carved wood and wire. The primarily static works were designed with unusual installations in mind, often mounted up high on a wall or perched on a tabletop. “They had a suggestion of some kind of cosmic nuclear gases—which I won’t try to explain,” Calder said. “I was interested in the extremely delicate, open composition.” James Johnson Sweeney and Marcel Duchamp proposed the name “constellations” for these works. Vertical Constellation with Bomb, seen here, is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (@ngadc), where it is on view.      Image: Vertical Constellation with Bomb (1943), wood, wire, and paint. © 2025 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

When the pandemic hit, I no longer had access to the print studio that I had regularly occupied and so I started working in collage again - and as a personal salve and meditation of sorts, I created a 5x7 collage a day and stopped at #200. I named the series ‘InQuietude’. The first 100 or so were cut up monotypes, but later I worked with other papers, when I found an ancient box of color aid papers - which are actually quite excellent, silkcreened color - and the ‘Saturated’ series came into being. Many are favorites and this one especially. ‘InQuietude - Saturated’ series #179 (July 2020). I find it useful sometimes to see what connects older work to the current, and what ‘language’ remains constant. • Collage • 5x7 • framed size 11.5x13.75 • #collage  #contemporaryart #artonpaper #abstractart #colorabstraction #worksonpaper #geometricabstraction #nonobjectiveart #susannaronner #colorrelationships #colorshapecomposition

This monotype was created during Woodstock School of Art’s annual ‘Monothon’ - where invited artists are paired with a master printer - one monotype from what’s created during the session is selected by Kate McGloughlin (the magnificent artist/educator/beloved overseer of the printmaking studio - @katemcgloughlin) and is donated and exhibited in WSA’s annual fundraising event. This monotype was selected, and sold in that year (2022) - so I didn’t get a chance to live with it, but glad it’s bringing someone joy. A great event for a worthy cause for our local treasure. Reflecting on previous work as I create new work. • Monotype • 10x8 on Rives BFK printmaking paper • framed size 16.5x14• created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio • #monotype #printmaking #hudsonvalleyartist #womanartist #contemporaryart #colorabstraction #abstractart #contemporaryprintmaking #abstractprintmaking #artonpaper #colorabstraction #geometricart #geometricabstraction #susannaronner #livewithart #contemporaryartcollector #abstractmonotype

Interesting to reflect on one’s personal ‘language’ - and how it comes through in my case, whether in serigraph/silkscreen (as shown here), monotype, collage/mixed media, painting. This ‘unique’ silkscreen from 12/2023 - created only three works with these colors, but each different from the other in the placement of the screens. • Unique Serigraph • on 22x28 Rives BFK printmaking paper • created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio • #serigraph #silkscreen #contemporaryart #colorabstraction #abstractart #nyartist #contemporaryprintmaking #abstractprintmaking #artonpaper #colorabstraction #geometricart #geometricabstraction #artforinteriors #susannaronner #livewithart #serigraphy

Very Banksy, but he has a point in wanting the viewer to not just glance and walk by a work but for it to compel you to study it. • #banksy #streetart #artistquotes

When you combine the great designs of Balenciaga (beautiful line, forms), with the equally great photo eye of Irving Penn (who also worked with Issey Miyake), you get these exquisite images. For me, it’s all visual inspiration. • Repost from @alice.rawsthorn • Cristóbal Balenciaga | 2. Having fled from Spain to France to escape the danger and turmoil of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Cristóbal Balenciaga opened a couture house on Avenue George V in the summer of 1937 only to face the extreme challenges and uncertainty of another conflict, World War II, when the Germans occupied Paris. He devoted the war years and their immediate aftermath to refining his aesthetic and his technical approach to haute couture. . By 1950, Balenciaga had defined the key themes of his future collections. They are beautifully illustrated by this 1950 photograph taken by the US photographer Irving Penn for Vogue-Paris. It depicts one of Penn’s and Balenciaga’s favourite models, Régine Debrise, wearing a waspily waisted ottoman jacket, which reveals the intense precision – and unerring eye - with which he cut, set and draped fabric. Balenciaga’s extensive knowledge of fabrics, and his inspired choices of weights and textures, is apparent too in the rich velvet of the beret and the opulent wools of the jacket and stole. His love of dramatic colour contrasts can be seen in the mix of red, green, charcoal and black. . The same qualities are imbued in the Balenciaga pieces worn by another of their favourite models, and Penn’s wife, the dancer and sculptor, Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, in a 1950 fashion shoot. By then, Balenciaga faced growing competition from the French couturier Christian Dior whose soft, curvaceous “jolie madame” style was less iconoclastic and uncompromising than his, and more commercial. Yet Balenciaga remained revered by his contemporaries, including Dior, who described him as “the master of us all”. . #design #fashion #cristobalbalenciaga #irvingpenn #reginedebrise #lisafonssagrivespenn #christiandior .

This piece became the spark for the ‘Piccola’ series, where I created 44 painted paper collages (6x6.5) - an exploration that grew into the larger ‘Mezzo’ and ‘Quadrato’ series, which still continues today. This piece began during the very last hour of the great instructor/artist David Hornung’s pivotal 4 day color workshop (in the ‘free/do what you want’ segment) at Woodstock School of Art, and then completed when returning back to my own studio. Series at susannaronner.art • And four in the ‘Mezzo’ series can be seen in the upcoming exhibit at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz, NY, guest curated by the also great artist/instructor, ransome, opening February 8, 2025 (more on that in it’s own post). • Collage with acrylic gouache painted paper, indirect mark making • 6x6.5 • framed size 11.5x13.75 • #collage #worksonpaper #paintedpaper #collageart #woodstockschoolofart #hudsonvalleyartist #contemporaryart #colorabstraction #abstractart  #artonpaper #geometricart #geometricabstraction #livewithart #susannaronner #artistdesigner #colorshapecomposition #davidhornung @_woodstockschoolofart @davidhornungart @ransomegart @dorskymuseum

Design for the next exhibit at Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild. A quick snap of program director (and friend to artists), Robert Langdon, hanging the new banners/posters in this frigid, windy weather. I love spreading beauty in my little town through design. Many remember the beloved sisters, photographers Colleen and Kathleen Kenyon, who pioneered the Center for Photography Woodstock (CPW). • ‘My Sister, My Self: The Photographs of Colleen Kenyon and Kathleen Kenyon’ January 18 – February 23, 2025 Opening reception Saturday, January 18, 2025, 2-4 PM ‘Presented in conjunction with CPW in Kingston, the exhibition is curated by Bard College art historians Tom Wolf and Laurie Dahlberg, and is the first full-scale retrospective of the artists, both longtime Woodstock residents.    During the 1970s and ‘80s, photographers Colleen Kenyon (American, 1951-2022) and Kathleen Kenyon (American, 1951-2023) were part of the women artists’ movement that challenged the photographic establishment with innovative approaches to the medium. Colleen Kenyon made hand-colored portraits of herself and her identical twin sister, while her sister, Kathleen Kenyon, appropriated gender-specific images of women from the mass media to create ironic photomontages. During the 1980s and ‘90s, the Kenyon sisters served as Director (Colleen) and Associate Director (Kathleen) of the Center for Photography at Woodstock.’ Find out more at woodstockguild.org @woodstock_byrdcliffe_guild • #photo-mavericks #woodstockny #centerforphotographywoodstock #cpwkingston #jendragon #tomwolf #lauriedahlberg #colleenkenyon #kathleenkenyon #twins #susannaronner#woodstockbyrdcliffeguild #exhibitiondesign | susannaronner.com

Delighted for design clients, artist/quilters Karen Schulz @schulz1376 and Judy Kirpich @judykirpich for their upcoming exhibit. Great to see this photo of the installation taking place (Judy Kirpich’s quilt being hung). And it was a great pleasure to design their catalogue which will be available at the museum (and/or contact the artists directly). Congratulations to them both. Catch the exhibit if you can! It will be stunning. • Repost from @internationalquiltmuseum • Installation of “Studio Showcase: Judy Kirpich and Karen Schulz” is underway! This exhibition features new work by both artists. Though the quilts initially appear radically different, both artists create pieces that transform the flat dimension of their textile canvases into a space that invites the viewer to immerse themselves. “Studio Showcase” is set to open on Jan. 17 in the Coryell Gallery.

“Obsession is what it comes down to. It is difficult to think without obsession, and it is impossible to create something without a foundation that is rigorous, incontrovertible, and, in fact, to some degree repetitive. Repetition is the ritual of obsession. Repetition is a way to jumpstart the indecision of beginning. To persevere and to begin over and over again is to continue the obsession with work. Work comes out of work. In order to work you must already be working.” — Richard Serra • #richardserra #repetition #sculpture #largescale #processart

Painting over monotype. ‘Over Under #2’. This exploration is definitely surprising me and energizing at the same time. Just following its impulse.

Marking the end of 2024 and in anticipation of the start of 2025, I spent some of yesterday going through the monotype ‘reject’ drawer in my flat files, cutting up or tossing some large pieces that I deemed as ‘failed’/not as strong (making room for ‘new’ and no longer holding on to what doesn’t give me joy); then painted some paper to use in my ongoing ‘Mezzo’ and ‘Quadrato’ painted paper collage series; and with my paints still out, decided to experiment and paint over a few large ‘reject’ monotypes (22x30 sheet), keeping with a limited palette and obscured 99.9% of it - and surprisingly, the paper accepted the acrylic gouache quite well - and now I can’t wait to paint over a few more ‘rejects’. Quick photo snap. And thanks to the pearls of wisdom from a catch up conversation yesterday with longtime great artist friend/design client/and now art ‘cheerleader’, @yaleepstein, who encouraged me to be willing to explore (work over ‘rejects’), along with other wise words, and the seeds were planted. Not sure this is what he exactly had in mind but it’s been in my mind as a curiosity. This is perhaps on the wild side, but that’s ok - lessons being learned. • ‘Over Under’ #1 • Acrylic gouache on 28x30 Rives BFK.

Yay, a new catalogue is born for Artists/Quilters, JUDY KIRPICH and KAREN SCHULZ - and ready for their upcoming two person exhibit at the International Quilt Museum (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), January 17-June 7, 2025. Their large scale work is stunning, continuing to expand the visual language of abstraction within the tactile medium of quilts. With essays by Petra Fallaux. • — Essay excerpt:
‘A duo exhibition of two accomplished artists invites a compare and contrast approach… “I do not sketch — although I wish that I did...,” says Kirpich about her creative process. “I work improvisationally, pinning up compositions on six very large design walls. My compositions rarely end up where they started — they morph and change often up until the very last seam. I take pictures all the time as I am constantly moving pieces around and having a photographic record allows me to go back to something I liked before I changed it. I make many many samples which I pin up all over my studio walls. I test everything — thread color, stitching techniques, amount and types of batting, acrylic paint colors, brush strokes, and even scratching techniques.” Schulz describes her way of working somewhat differently: “My curiosity drives me to create work in a call and response improvisational manner as I explore the nature of my materials, be they cloth, dye, thread, paper or paint…I interact with my chosen medium with acquired skill as form appears and meaning is revealed. It is a thrill to realize visual compositions where disparate elements of line, shape and color, come together as if adhering to some mystical underlying rubric.”’ — ©2024, Petra Fallaux • @judykirpich @schulz1376 • Their catalogue is featured on my design website home page [ susannaronner.com ] and on the portfolio page ‘Artist + Exhibit Catalogues’. • @internationalquiltmuseum #artistquilters #abstractquilts #abstractquilting #artquilt #internationalquiltmuseum #judykirpich #karenschulz #petrafallaux #nancycrow #cataloguedesign #catalogdesign #susannaronner #designforartists #improvisationalquilting #improvisationalquilt #crowtimberframebarn #contemporaryquilt
