Walnut Hill Framing and Fine Art Services

Walnut Hill : Exhibition Framing and Fine Art Services is proud to present a selection of works from "Next Stop Atlantic".

In a bold move, the NYC Transit authority joined the artifcial reef building program off the East Coast of the US in 2000 and sent stripped and decontaminated subway cars off on barges to be dropped into the Ocean in order to build refuge for many species of sh and crustaceans which would colonize the structures.

Mallon traces the progress of the train cars on their way towards their last voyage, majestic waves approach the viewer in these large scale photographs as they too are transported out to sea to behold the lifting and transfer of these massive machines. One photograph hauntingly depicts elements of nature creeping into their barren hulls, drifts of snow lines the walkways, a glimpse of sunshine streams through their removed doors as they wait in stacks to be carted off to sink to the dark depths of the ocean oor.

Mallon’s photographs elicit both the sadness and the beauty of cascading water overtaking these iconic g- ures of New York transit as they sink beneath the sur- face of the water; surges and sprays are caught in time. Stephen Mallon dedicated the last three years to fol- lowing this endeavor, chronicling the last phase of NYC Transit’s involvement in this program. The photographs that are presented in this exhibition capture the grandi- osity of this effort; the weight of these 18-ton train cars can be felt as they are ferried off and plunged into the water.

The Ballot show

PRESENTS

THE BALLOT SHOW !

"The  USS Radford"  30x45  edition of 5 Opening: Friday Oct 14th 7-9 October 14th-23th, 2016 Fri-Sun 1-6 & by appointment 147 Roebling St, Brooklyn NY 11211 The Front Room Gallery is proud to present the Fourth quadrennial "Ballot Show", which focuses on the American electoral system, and the overall notion of voting with a ballot. "The Ballot Show," held every 4 years since 2004, is inspired by the American election, and contemplates our antiquated electoral-college voting process. The impetus for the first “Ballot Show” was disillusionment with the shoddy way the 2000 election had been handled—hanging chads, votes not counted, people not allowed into the polls, the Supreme Court decision. Many artist’s works in the following two versions of the exhibition (in 2008 and in 2012) dealt with the archaic nature of our electoral process, but also with the feeling that we as a people aren’t happy with the choices that we are offered. This year we are faced with an election with the two least popular candidates ever, and it seems both side’s votes are driven by hatred of the other sides contender. This election is a turbocharged reality show fueled by accusations and innuendo live on 24 hour social media. It’s possible the only actual fact we will see in this whole campaign is that one person will be elected in November. Featuring works by: Daniel Aycock, Julia Whitney Barnes, Guy Ben-Ari,Thomas Broadbent, Phil Buehler, Ken Butler, Dave Cole, Ethan Crenson, Linda Ganjian, Peter Fox, Enrico Gomez, Sean Hemmerle, Kim Holleman, David Kramer, Jesse Lambert, Lisa Levy, Stephen Mallon, Sascha Mallon, Karen Marston, Mark Masyga, Ross Racine, Marshall Reese/Nora Ligorano, Daniel Rosenbaum, Emily Roz, Sante Scardillo, Philip Simmons, Jeremy Slater, Mark Stilwell, Rodger Stevens, Miho Suzuki, Jim Torok, Kathleen Vance, Cibele Vieira, Monika Wuhrer, Ahron Weiner, and more..

GALLERY 21

 Bringing Brooklyn to Norfolk Virginia!

Sept 23- Nov 5th

curated by Patrick Todd

Happy to announce I am showing at Gallery 21! 

“Bringing Brooklyn to Norfolk”

Gallery 21 will host its Fall exhibit “Bringing Brooklyn to Norfolk” Friday, September 23 – November 5.  The exhibit features 24 artists from Brooklyn, New York in a variety of mediums. The exhibit is curated by Patrick Todd and is described as: “Bringing Brooklyn To Norfolk” is an incomplete survey show of unique and different approaches to art making. The show aims to highlight quality and diversity through context, and hopefully, bring the

conversation of art to the forefront. No theme, no idea, no curation can tie these objects together in a super narrative. The viewing audience is invited to explore the artists' individual stories in greater depth and contemplate on their process in honing their skills.

Artists included in this exhibition are: Amanda Church, Amelia Biewald, Brenda Zlamany, Chris Dunlap, Cibele Vieira, David Friedman, Debra Drexler, Ellie Murphy, Esperanza Cortes, Hecter Rene, Jen Hitchings, Jennifer Delilah, Jim Klein, Julia Whitney Barnes, Julian Armond Jimarez Howard, Kathleen Vance, Ken Butler, Matthew Mahler, Max Yawney, Michael Pribich, Peter Fox, Sean Hemmerle, Stephen Mallon, and Sue Kovacs. An opening reception will take place Friday, September 23 from 5:00 to 8:00pm. Refreshments will be

served. 

About Gallery 21:

     Gallery 21 opened in April, 2016 and was designed by Jim Todd with a unique “elite urban” style combining brick walls, polished concrete floor and high black ceilings as a chic backdrop for displaying a dynamic selection of paintings.

Gallery 21 is open Friday – Sunday, noon – 5pm.
