SUMMARY:Two Volcanoes
DESCRIPTION:The Union for Contemporary Art will display London-based artist Alicia Reyes McNamara’s “Two volcanoes grow together\, two rivers lay side by side\,” an investigation into the queering of Mexican and Irish folklore and rituals in which beings and landscapes mutate and shapeshift\, creating a personal imaginary in forms of embodiment. The collection of dream-like paintings reimagines femme centered folklore and reclaims these stories and explores these deities as independent\, self-possessed beings who have the potential to transcend their own definition and acquire a new life or meaning. \nReyes McNamara writes: “I hope to transport the viewer into an unfixed amorphous world of shapeshifting feminine energy\, and they be both curious and uneasy.” \nThe exhibit is on display May 4 through June 22. The opening reception is May 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; at noon\, Reyes McNamara will join us in conversation on the themes of her collection. \nCo-Op + Gallery Hours\nTuesday\n1–8pm \nWednesday\n1–8pm \nThursday\n1–8pm \nFriday\n10am–5pm \nSaturday\n10am–5pm

SUMMARY:Spunk
DESCRIPTION:The Union for Contemporary Art presents “Spunk” from Feb. 16 through March 10\, 2024\, a play adapted by George C. Wolfe from “Three Tales” by Zora Neale Hurston and directed by Denise Chapman. Music by Chic Street Man. Tickets are “pay as you are” sliding scale ranging from FREE to $90.  \nSynopsis: Hurston’s evocative prose and Wolfe’s unique theatrical style blend to create an evening of theatre that celebrates the human spirit’s ability to overcome and endure. Utilizing the blues\, choral narrative and dance\, the three tales focus on men and women trapped inside the “laughin’ kind of lovin’ kind of hurtin’ kind of pain that comes from being human.” The first of the three tales\, SWEAT tells the story of a young washerwoman who is abused and betrayed by her estranged husband\, and of her ultimate triumph over him. The second piece\, STORY IN HARLEM SLANG\, is told in 1940s Harlemese. It is the story of two street lotharios trying to outhustle each other and win the favor of—and a meal from—a domestic on her payday afternoon off. The third tale\, THE GILDED SIX BITS\, is a bittersweet story of an adoring husband’s betrayal by his loving but innocent wife.

SUMMARY:Meet Me At The Fence OK Bye
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Meet me at the fence ok bye” by Leslie Diuguid is on display from Feb. 10 through March 9. The opening reception is Feb. 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will include refreshments and a conversation with Diuguid. \nArtist statement: Analyzing thrifted artifacts that act as a material memory. Finding the border between childhood and adulthood. Detritus of the past. While homecoming to care for aging parents I excavated a 1990 phone book filled with handwritten notes\, addresses\, and marker tests. \nRemembering the brief\, hurried and anxious need to play. A question phrased as a statement between friends calling to meet up for a day of swinging\, biking\, playing games and running around the neighborhood. My dad told me not to call before 10am as it would be rude. \nRemembering the phone as a stationary tool you went to before it became life consuming. My friend\, Susan Kemp and I would make the breathless call\, hang up\, and simultaneously bolt out toward the fence followed by an excited dog and a slamming screen door behind us. \nThe use of screenprinting allows media to take on a new life. To dismantle tattered rags and revisit old phone books as a coming of age archive. \nStepping through items that have become a part of my identity. Zooming in on heavily worn clothes and expanding focal points of interest layered with excerpts of handwritten letters from my younger self and family members. Holding test marks of all kinds—stains\, spills and splatters in high esteem accumulated over the course of decades. \nThis fixation on gestures suggests the portrait of a ghost. \nSome clothing gifted\, others bought\, all saved and all whose diminishing quality acts as a nonlinear origin story for the necessity to protect and house a growing body. \nThinking middle out\, I’m partial to trees as icons that represent heliotropic growth toward a brighter future while digging deeper into the fabric from which I originated. \nArtist bio \nLeslie Diuguid (b. 1986\, Kansas City) is a Brooklyn-based printmaker and publisher who works closely with artists to create fine art editions and one-off works using the art of screen printing. \nDiuguid grew interested in disassembling and restructuring her built environment while independently practicing drawing and painting throughout her childhood. This design approach to visual language morphed into an affinity for the process and refinement involved in printmaking. She graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2009 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Printmaking.

SUMMARY:Spunk
DESCRIPTION:The Union for Contemporary Art presents “Spunk” from Feb. 16 through March 10\, 2024\, a play adapted by George C. Wolfe from “Three Tales” by Zora Neale Hurston and directed by Denise Chapman. Music by Chic Street Man. Tickets are “pay as you are” sliding scale ranging from FREE to $90.  \nSynopsis: Hurston’s evocative prose and Wolfe’s unique theatrical style blend to create an evening of theatre that celebrates the human spirit’s ability to overcome and endure. Utilizing the blues\, choral narrative and dance\, the three tales focus on men and women trapped inside the “laughin’ kind of lovin’ kind of hurtin’ kind of pain that comes from being human.” The first of the three tales\, SWEAT tells the story of a young washerwoman who is abused and betrayed by her estranged husband\, and of her ultimate triumph over him. The second piece\, STORY IN HARLEM SLANG\, is told in 1940s Harlemese. It is the story of two street lotharios trying to outhustle each other and win the favor of—and a meal from—a domestic on her payday afternoon off. The third tale\, THE GILDED SIX BITS\, is a bittersweet story of an adoring husband’s betrayal by his loving but innocent wife.

SUMMARY:Meet Me At The Fence OK Bye
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Meet me at the fence ok bye” by Leslie Diuguid is on display from Feb. 10 through March 9. The opening reception is Feb. 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will include refreshments and a conversation with Diuguid. \nArtist statement: Analyzing thrifted artifacts that act as a material memory. Finding the border between childhood and adulthood. Detritus of the past. While homecoming to care for aging parents I excavated a 1990 phone book filled with handwritten notes\, addresses\, and marker tests. \nRemembering the brief\, hurried and anxious need to play. A question phrased as a statement between friends calling to meet up for a day of swinging\, biking\, playing games and running around the neighborhood. My dad told me not to call before 10am as it would be rude. \nRemembering the phone as a stationary tool you went to before it became life consuming. My friend\, Susan Kemp and I would make the breathless call\, hang up\, and simultaneously bolt out toward the fence followed by an excited dog and a slamming screen door behind us. \nThe use of screenprinting allows media to take on a new life. To dismantle tattered rags and revisit old phone books as a coming of age archive. \nStepping through items that have become a part of my identity. Zooming in on heavily worn clothes and expanding focal points of interest layered with excerpts of handwritten letters from my younger self and family members. Holding test marks of all kinds—stains\, spills and splatters in high esteem accumulated over the course of decades. \nThis fixation on gestures suggests the portrait of a ghost. \nSome clothing gifted\, others bought\, all saved and all whose diminishing quality acts as a nonlinear origin story for the necessity to protect and house a growing body. \nThinking middle out\, I’m partial to trees as icons that represent heliotropic growth toward a brighter future while digging deeper into the fabric from which I originated. \nArtist bio \nLeslie Diuguid (b. 1986\, Kansas City) is a Brooklyn-based printmaker and publisher who works closely with artists to create fine art editions and one-off works using the art of screen printing. \nDiuguid grew interested in disassembling and restructuring her built environment while independently practicing drawing and painting throughout her childhood.
