<br />
(Alexandria, VA) </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The deceptive
beauty of Frances Gallardo’s cut-paper hurricane series belies the urgent
underlying theme of climate change, which is a particular threat for her native
island of Puerto Rico in the Tropics. Gallardo’s work combines exquisitely
crafted cut-paper installations with conceptual performance art. Delving
beneath the surface, paper serves as a metaphor for human skin and
vulnerability. Based on satellite imagery appropriated from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meteorology</i> includes large-scale cut-paper installations and
sculpture. The public opening on Saturday, January 18 will include a
site-responsive performance by the artist. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<br />
(Alexandria, VA) The Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Target Gallery presents <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You,
Me, and the Void</i></b>, a solo exhibition by DC-based artists <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Radio Sebastian</b>, which <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">opens on August 3<sup>rd</sup> and runs
through September 1<sup>st</sup>, 2013</b>. Each year the Target Gallery hosts
“Open Exhibition,” an open call for proposals for a solo exhibition. Three arts
experts from the DC-area made up this year’s jury panel; Samantha May, Director
of Hillyer Art Space, Foon Sham, noted sculptor and professor, and Morgan
Hungerford West, founder and writer of the arts and lifestyle blog Pandahead.
They reviewed close to 50 proposals individually, and then gathered for a group
review of their top ten selections before naming Radio Sebastian the 2013
winners. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.radiosebastian.com/">Radio Sebastian</a> is a husband and
wife collaborative between artists Corwin Levi and Yumi Blackwell. The title
for the exhibition, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You, Me, and the Void</i>,
comes from the artists’ examination of “the void," which they state in
their proposal, has always existed. Yves Klein famously leapt into it. Anish
Kapoor noted "the void is not silent" and described it as "that
very first moment of creativity where everything is possible and nothing has
actually happened."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">To Radio Sebastian, they do not see “the void” as
containing nothing, rather “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a space where
everything is possible and has already happened, but we most often access only
sparks of creation and must work out the actual creating ourselves. </i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It is the space in which everyone's
creativity and power exist and from which we can glimpse moments of what is
possible.”</i><br />
<br />
The exhibition will consist of the manifestation of Corwin's void, a selection
of poets' voids, and a selection of people at large's voids. Corwin's void is
based in the word shine and the six-sided symbol he equates with it. He sees
this word and this symbol as representing everything that an individual is
capable of achieving and his void is full of them, for everyone. They will
include in the show drawings of networks of this symbol, both abstractly and on
top of photographs. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be a site-specific installation where they will write public domain poems on pieces of paper, tie them into floating bundles, and hang them from the ceiling with fishing line over stacks of poetry books and a tape drawing on the floor.<br /><br />In addition, they will include video pieces where they have asked, and videotaped, many people saying the word "shine" for as long as they can, their personal shine, and their descriptions of the Void--and have edited these together. They will also encourage Target Gallery viewers to submit video clips (via email) for inclusion in their future exhibitions and to add to the videos in the gallery as the show progresses.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The entire exhibition will be online
beginning August 3rd at <a href="http://www.torpedofactory.org/target">www.torpedofactory.org/target</a>.</b><span style="color: black;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What: Beyond Function <br />When: Saturday, May 4th – Sunday, June 2nd, 2013 <br />Reception: Thursday, May 9th, 6-8pm; juror talk with Novie Trump at 7pm, FREE<br /><br />Target Gallery presents Beyond Function. From precariously stacked bowls to “inflatable” dinosaur sculptures, the exhibition features ceramic works that go beyond utility, seeking to be valued for their aesthetic quality over their usefulness. In addition, juror Novie Trump and Laurel Lukaszewski will create a site-specific ceramic installation outside of the gallery. Join us for a reception on Thursday, May 9th from 6-8pm to meet some of the artists and hear a juror talk at 7pm.<br /><br />___________________________________________________________<br /><br />(Alexandria, VA) The Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Target Gallery presents Beyond Function, which opens on May 4th and runs through June 2nd, 2013. Throughout time ceramics has been an important part of our daily lives. When one hears the word ceramics, their first thought often goes to items such as tableware, tiles, vases, etc. While it can be appreciated for its aesthetics, this work is most likely regarded first for functional quality over artistic merit. This exhibition examines how artists today are using this ancient medium and going beyond utilitarian connotations, creating work that seeks to be valued as pure form.<br /><br />Beyond Function will feature a wide range of work by thirteen artists from across the United States, and one from Turin, Italy. Artist David Bogus, from Laredo Texas, will show his piece Optimist Luggage 1. Bogus uses the slip-cast method, which is traditionally used in the mass-production of pottery, using molds made from both found and rendered objects to achieve a sense of scale and repetition. He applies principles of graphic design and color to achieve a superficial attractiveness while their contents have purposely been obscured offering both psychological and nostalgic metaphors.<br /><br />Brooklyn-based artist Phoenix Lindsey-Hall presents Extinguish, part of the larger body of work After Kempf, an exploration into lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender hate crimes. Using mixed media, including ceramic, concrete, and found materials, Lindsey-Hall transforms everyday objects that have been used as weapons in specific hate crime cases. “Clay becomes skin as I press into the surface, leaving the trace of my hand and simultaneously representing the act of violence. Here the twisting, mutilation and ultimate undoing of the body is transferred to the objects. The disturbance of everyday objects calls into question the very system in which they exist.”<br /><br />Selected artists include: David Bogus (TX), Jackie Brown (PA), Angela Carbone (TX), Mary K Cloonan (MD), Stephen Gian Mangione (CA), Clara Graziolino (Italy), Anita Holt (VA), Brett Kern (WV), Phoenix Lindsey-Hall (NY), Shalya Marsh (PA), Lori Mills (NY), Tybre Newcomer (MI), Amanda Small (NC), Mary Sweeney (NY)<br /><br />Juror Information – About Novie Trump<br />Novie Trump is a sculptor and installation artist working primarily in ceramic and mixed media. Formally trained in classical archaeology at the University of North Carolina, her work has been selected for juried and invitational exhibitions in the US and Europe and has been featured in numerous publications. Winner of the 2009 Strauss Fellowship, she has been awarded grants and commissions for several public art works, the most recent at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC. Trump is the founder and director of Flux Studios, a contemporary art space in Mt. Rainier, MD.</span></div>

<br />On January 10th, our juror Linn Meyers gave a wonderful gallery talk during the reception for <i>Between the Lines</i>. She spoke her process an reasoning behind her selections for the exhibition, specifically how "<i>Drawing has long been understood to be a preparatory medium – artists
have made drawings in preparation for making works in other mediums such
as painting, printmaking or sculpture. Drawing has been for some
artists and viewers synonymous with “sketching.”...The distinction long made between drawing, painting, and sculpture
continues to become less and less important to both viewers and artists.
The works in this exhibition explore, through both imagery and
materials, the way artists are using drawing as a primary mode of
expression in the 21st century."</i><br />

This exuberance is girded by masterful drawing, seemingly effortless mark and convincing picture structure; Mr. Duke applies his craft with conviction, enthusiasm and without apology.”</span></i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;"> – David Page, 2012 Open Exhibition Juror</span></b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;"> <br />

A distinguished panel of three arts-experts who reviewed over eighty submitted proposals unanimously selected Duke’s work. The exhibition will open on Saturday, August 4<sup>th</sup> and run through Sunday, September 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2012. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please join us on August 9<sup>th</sup>, from 6-8pm for a reception to meet the artist and hear him speak at 7pm.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;"><b>When asked about this series of work, Duke says:</b><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“In my paintings I ask myself ‘Is this the way the world is?’ I reshape and retool my painting experience to answer that question. But while the question begins with the world, it ends with the work itself: ‘Is this the way the world is in this work?’ The search is for the world in painting and painting in the world (painting worlds/ painting’s world). Am I in the world or is the world in me? I allude to my life, to writers’ works, to imagery, and it is my hope that this record of allusion conjures and creates the same. I am referring to text, theory, idea - but I am also finding myself already there, looking out to see in.”<br />

We accomplish this through a series of juried exhibitions that are open to all artists nationally and internationally. One opportunity that we offer annually is our Open Exhibition competition, which invites artists to submit exhibition proposals for a chance at a solo exhibition in the gallery. In addition to the honor of having a solo exhibition in a world-renowned art center, the gallery offers the artist a show catalog. We choose a panel of three arts experts to choose the winning exhibition proposal. This year’s distinguished juror panel included Jack Rasmussen, </span><span class="A11"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">Director and Curator of the American University Museum at the Katzen Art Center in Washington</span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">, Catriona Fraser, international award-winning photographer and the Director of Fraser Gallery,</span><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">and David Page, South African-born, internationally acclaimed Baltimore-based sculptor</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">.</span></i> </div>

Recognizing the therapeutic benefits of the medium,
Peace Paper works to make hand papermaking available to the world in
numerous ways. Peace Paper works with survivors of trauma and uses a
portable paper making studio and fibers that hold significance (such as
articles of clothing that one might have worn during chemo treatment, or
part of a military uniform, etc) to create hand made paper. Their goal
is to bring paper to the people so that they may transform their unique
fibers into works of art; expressing their stories through the pulp
while using the medium of papermaking to enrich their artistic voices. </span></span></div>

</style><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">The Torpedo Factory Art
Center’s Target Gallery presents <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Masks</i></b>, which opens on June 30 and
runs through July 29. This solo
exhibition features paintings and sketches by Susan Makara, winner of the
Friends of the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s annual Artist of the Year award. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">About this series of paintings Makara says, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Masks</i> showcases my strongest and most
fantastical work to date. The ideas for the series come from my imagination,
visible only in my minds’ eye until I paint them. We all wear masks. Our true
feelings and thoughts are not always revealed for others to see. Sometimes we
hide the person within.”</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;"><br />
<br />
The juror for this exhibition was </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;">William Schran, Assistant Dean of Fine Arts at Northern Virginia
Community College. About Makara’s work he said, “Susan demonstrates a command
of the medium with powerful imagery that speaks to the viewer, yet presents a
sense of mystery. There is a haunting dream-like quality with the figures, all
hidden behind masks. Behind the
mask, who is looking at whom?”</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11pt;"> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"></i></span></div>

<br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Forged </span></i></b><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">explores how artists today are
taking a contemporary approach to one of the oldest known metalworking
processes. The selected works represent a broad range of formal qualities, techniques,
and points of view. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">They run the gamut from
conceptual to functional, from practical to outrageous, but they all share a
common root in the deep-seated role of metal as a shaper of thought and
behavior. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">As stated
by the juror Twylene Moyer, </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">the selected work has “…the
power to make us think, again, about how the most ancient of materials and
processes can be renewed to forge a continually evolving present.”</span> <br />

Peace Paper: </span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peace Paper utilizes traditional hand papermaking as a means of engaging
communities in art practices which bring people together, broadcast
their stories, and transform their fibers into meaningful art pieces.
The project operates everywhere from private workshops to public
demonstrations in order to perpetuate the art of hand papermaking while
adapting to the needs of each specific community. Peace Paper merges its
skill set of papermaking, bookbinding, printmaking, and creative
writing with the unique practices and concepts of host communities as a
way of empowering our collaboration. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Torpedo Factory Art Center is honored to present Peace Paper. As a sneak peek to our July 2012 Exhibition, Peace Paper is providing a hands on presentation in the main hall of the Art
Center, where they will talk about their program, and give the audience
a chance to get their hands wet. This event is free and open to the
public.</span><br />
