Anya Gallacio

Anya Gallaccio
July 11 through September 14, 2008
Camden Arts Centre, Arkwright Road London NW3 6DG
Anya Gallaccio's spectacular new installation connects Camden Arts Centre's garden to the galleries, bringing the outdoors inside.
The new piece is firmly rooted in the site, as if nature has broken into the space pushing through the gallery floor and walls. Using organic transient materials, Gallaccio’s intervention is impressive in its visual impact and physicality.
Gallaccio is one of the leading British sculptors of her generation. Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2003, she graduated from Goldsmiths in 1988 and in the same year exhibited in Damien Hirst’s 'Freeze', the exhibition that brought together a generation of Young British Artists for the first time.
Gallaccio's work is concerned with nature, beauty and decay, she uses ephemeral materials to refer to the cyclic nature of life and death.
Her sculptures' multi-sensory and experimental elements allow you to engage with the rich tactile qualities. Past installations include real chocolate and sugar, rotting and decayed fruit, and trees cast in bronze.

"The Art of Faith Ringgold" Opens at Thorne
KEENE, N.H., 8/25/08 - Faith Ringgold, an award-winning author and artist, exhibits a variety of artwork spanning 44 years at the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery from Monday, September 8, through Sunday, November 23.
"African/American Influences: The Art of Faith Ringgold" showcases this African-American artist's story quilts, oil paintings from the 1960s, works on paper - including prints and tankas from the 1970s - and soft sculpture such as masks and dolls. The exhibit includes the original layouts for Tar Beach, Ringgold's first children's book, which won more than 20 awards, including the prestigious Caldecott Honor Book of 1992. The Caldecott honor is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children to the artist of an American picture book for children.
Visitors to the exhibit may take Ringgold's online survey on racial identity by sitting at a computer. The survey is a conceptual study on race and color in America to determine what a person would feel, think, and do if their racial identity was suddenly changed.
The Friends of the Thorne Education Program, from October 20 to 31, focuses on this exhibit. The program for K-12 schoolchildren and senior citizen groups includes a guided tour of the exhibit and a hands-on art project. To schedule a group visit, contact Colleen Johnson at 603-358-2731.
