Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville

If fashion is your thing and you're going to be taking a last-minute summer trip down to the Jersey Shore this weekend and spending all day at the beach has gotten a little stale, you might want to check out the "Seams: Contemporary Art to Wear" exhibition at The Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville - 15 minutes from Atlantic City. The exhibition only runs through Aug. Sunday. Co-curated by Toms River mixed media and textile artist Joanie San Chirico, "Seams" presents the works of 12 established and emerging artists from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachussetts, Iowa and Canada, who create pieces using experimental textile techniques and cutting-edge technologies as well as traditional sewing and weaving.
"Seams" considers the idea of clothing as expression, identity and as a form of communication. The creative intersection of art, fashion and design is explored using a variety of materials and conceptual presentations. It highlights works in which the artist go beyond the everyday utility of clothing to confront a range of important themes such as self-expression, social connection and domestication. Included are the works of New Jersey artists Marisa Dipaola, Diana Savona and Kerr Grabowski.

The Noyes Museum of Art is Expanding!

The Noyes Museum of Art will be opening a satellite gallery in Hammonton, New Jersey for October 3rd on South 2nd Street. The NMA is now at a juncture of reinventing itself as not only a place for primarily an adult audience to passively view art, but a place for the community to have an experiential visit. This satellite would provide an exciting opportunity for the community to delve into stimulating exhibitions which will attract a diverse audience from western Atlantic and neighboring counties.

Hammonton’s Downtown is going through a renaissance! New specialty stores, cafes and restaurants have been an almost instant success. The Hammonton Art Center has been the back bone and hub for the visual arts. New streetscapes, façade improvements and a new city hall has been part of this catalyst for this economic revitalization. The proximity of major highways and passenger train station is facilitating more people to visit Hammonton. Given these monumental improvements, in a time when many downtowns are falling apart, The Noyes Museum is proud and honored to be a part a great community. To help insure its success, the gallery space will have an advisory committee composed of the museum’s board, the president of Hammonton Art Center’s Board, and community members of Hammonton.

Inspired by Homer’s Odyssey, The Princeton Artists Alliance presents visual interpretations as contemporary works of art in a new exhibition at the Noyes Museum opening January 11 and continuing through April 13, 2008. Poseidon’s wrath, Penelope’s tears and Odysseus’ escape from the Cyclops are among the struggles and triumphs captured in this exhibition. Homer’s Odyssey is a collaboration with The Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. The public can meet the artists at the Opening Reception on Friday, January 18 from 5 to 8 p.m.

In addition to the exhibition, The Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey will offer two free lectures at the Noyes Museum. On February 1 professor Kate Ogden will present The Continuing Classical Influence in Western Art from noon to 1:00 p.m. and on March 23 professor Rob Nichols will discuss How Greek is Greco-Buddhist Art from noon to 1:00 p.m.

The Princeton Artists Alliance members read Homer’s Odyssey, translated by retired Princeton University literature professor Robert Fagles, and created art inspired by passages in the classic tale. Princeton artist Marie Sturken’s handmade paper piece entitled “Outwitting the One-Eyed Giant,” which portrays men hanging from the underbellies of rams, was created after the artist read Book 9: Lines 477-487, which talks about escaping from the giant Cyclops as he slept. The exhibition is full of symbolism and contemporary views of the great literary work. Homer’s Odyssey was first exhibited at the Bristol-Myers Squibb Gallery in Princeton in 1999 and has since traveled to the Newark Museum, the Foundation for Hellenic Culture in New York and the Art Gallery at the College of New Jersey.

Founded in 1989 by professional artists, the Princeton Artists Alliance is a non-profit organization that holds various educational events to enrich the community through visual art. The Princeton Artists Alliance holds workshops, exhibits, artist talks and open art studios. The artists work with a wide range of techniques, mediums and subject matter. Each member has an extensive list of both individual and group exhibitions shown regionally, nationally and internationally. More information on the Princeton Artists Alliance can be found at http://www.princetonartists.org/. The Princeton Artists Alliance Opens Exhibition Based on Homer’s Epic

New Jersey artist W. Carl Burger opens a solo exhibition of his work on January 18 at the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, N.J. The self-titled exhibition includes artwork that celebrates the natural environment of southern New Jersey. Created exclusively for this exhibition, Burger’s large-scale expressionistic works were painted in some of southern New Jersey’s most treasured natural sites including Batsto Village, the Pinelands and the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge.

The public will have a chance to meet the artist at the Opening Reception on January 18 from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will be on display through May 9.

Burger, of Califon, N.J., is one of the state’s most notable artists with a career that spans over five decades. Working mostly in watercolors, he paints plein air, or on location, throughout the year on large sheets of watercolor paper held down on a table with bricks. Wetting the large-scale paper often means using a bucket of water or a garden hose, depending on his location. “If something goes wrong (with the painting) I attack it with a flood of water from the hose,” says the artist, “I build up the colors and then soften it with the hose.” Burger’s work is inspired by Cezanne, Braque and Picasso, artists who Burger believes to be the innovators in 20th century. He is also inspired by the Gothic and Renaissance imagery and architectural layouts of American and European landscapes. He has traveled throughout New Jersey and around the world to capture the natural images that give him his greatest inspiration.


Burger was born in Pforzheim, Germany in 1925. Six months later, his parents moved to the United States and settled in Irvington, N.J. Burger attended a grammar school that offered art programs and he was immediately intrigued. During high school, a watercolor demonstration by artist Maurice King inspired Burger to use the medium in the bulk of his artwork. Since the age of 15, Burger has created more than 700 oil paintings, watercolors, drawings and collages.
Burger received his master’s in fine arts education from New York University where he studied with the renowned Hale Woodruff, Tony Smith and Reginald Neal. During this time he was inspired both by the innovation of his professors and the momentum of the abstract expressionist movement. In an interview with Harry I. Naar, professor of fine arts and gallery director at Rider University, Burger explains, “I found a deep respect for the energy, sensuality and spontaneity of abstract expressionism. I realized that I could, in fact, create an image about reality and especially the landscape using dramatic colors with stronger brush strokes that captured my true inner feelings about the site.” Burger continues, “I realized that I did not have to be so literal in my depictions to create an image of a landscape. To me, the landscape is always changing and I feel that my style and technique tries to reveal that feeling.”

Burger took postgraduate classes at Columbia University and Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. Burger exhibited work throughout the country including the Lincoln Center and the National Academy of Design in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute and the Butler Institute of Art in Youngstown, Ohio. His artwork can be seen in various corporate collections including Johnson & Johnson, British Airways, and Nabisco World Headquarters. He taught design and drawing for over 40 years at Kean University in Union, N.J and is now Professor Emeritus.

The Noyes Museum of Art was founded in 1983 to collect, preserve and exhibit American fine art, crafts and folk art with an emphasis on New Jersey artists and folk art forms, reflecting the area's long traditions, history, landscape and culture. General funding for The Noyes Museum of Art is provided by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Arts; the Mr. and Mrs. Fred Winslow Noyes Foundation; the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; the Odessa F. and Henry D. Kahrs Charitable Trust and the Shop Rite LPGA Classic. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday,10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. and closed on Mondays and major holidays.

EXPERIENCE SCULPTOR JONATHAN SHAHN HEAD ON AT THE NOYES
The New Jersey Artist Opens New Exhibition at the Oceanville Museum
New Jersey sculptor Jonathan Shahn opens a solo exhibition on November 16 at the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, N.J. The exhibition, titled Jonathan Shahn: Imaginary Portraits, includes sculpted heads, human forms and figures. Working primarily in wood, Shahn literally creates expressions of life - drawing inspiration from classical busts and sculptures, which he merges with faces of people he knows. The sculptures will be on display through January 6, 2008.


Shahn has been creating sculptures and drawings representing the human figure since the early 1960s. His life-sized sculptures, carved from enormous wood blocks or formed from plaster, express the honesty and simple elegance of the human figure. Suggestive of Picasso and Giacometti, Shahn’s oversized heads, often perched on elongated or thick neck-like pedestals or placed within boxes, function as portraits of common people. He prefers to work with wood because it is a “slower, more resistant” material that allows his figures to evolve naturally, but he is also known for his smooth plaster sculptures. Most of his wooden sculptures are completed over months. The rough-hewn figures sometimes receive a paraffin coat or brush marks that the artist describes as “directional patterns” and “anatomical suggestions,” implying African, Egyptian and medieval art that is both classical and clean.

CRAFTS MARKETPLACE

Regional artists and their unique crafts take center stage at The Noyes Museum of Art’s annual Crafts Marketplace on Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The annual event features hand-made objects including jewelry, ceramics, fiber and other fine crafts made by over 30 artists from New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
