Synergy-

Three local artists will present an evening of contemporary music and visual art at Weisser Gallery in Kensington on June 6, 2010. The event, hosted by local glass artist Nancy Weisser will be the opening night of “Synergy” an exhibition of sight and sound.  Nancy will transform her gallery with glass installations and showcase an avant garde blend of sonic and visual arts.  Nancy’s art will be juxtaposed with the live music of MonkeyPaw, featuring local musicians Chuck Underwood and Byron McWilliams.

Nancy Weisser has been creating unique and exciting works of art in glass for nearly 30 years.  Her Broken Memories installation was recently recognized in a worldwide competition by the Corning Museum of Glass for selection in its New Glass Review Publication.  The Broken Memories video marks the first professional collaboration for Nancy and her guitarist husband, Chuck Underwood. Chuck has been one of Washington, DC's most respected musicians for the past 25 years. He and local drummer, Byron McWilliams, have worked together for many years, most recently as MonkeyPaw, a wide-ranging spectrum of sound influenced by a lifetime of diverse musical experiences. Each of the three artists has been personally motivated to create art that is about self-expression rather than dictated by commercial concerns. The result is a breathtaking blend of glass and music that provides an opportunity to appreciate art in its purest form.

The June 6 performance and exhibit at Weisser Gallery will highlight the symbiotic connection between sonic and visual arts by showcasing the premier live performance by MonkeyPaw inspired by the glass works of Nancy Weisser.

An exhibition by the students of ArtQuest.

 

Over the past 12 months, this group has bonded while examining the creative process of how art happens.  The social dynamic of this class has been essential to the individual growth of each artist and their work. Together they have maintained journals, developed and abandoned ideas and brought their concepts to fruition. The path has seldom been direct and the process has posed numerous technical obstacles.  The artists’ group has delved beyond the confines of technique, pursuing the right materials and content to achieve the greatest self expression. The exhibition will not only showcase their finished pieces but will include journals, sketches and test pieces that will document their evolution.  

 

Important Exhibit Dates:

Opening Reception:
January 23, 2010   6pm – 8pm

Artist Talk / Show Closing:
Sunday February 14, 2010  4pm

If you haven't had the chance to see the Markow & Norris Woven Glass exhibit at Weisser Gallery, I highly recomend it. You really have to see "Autumn Sunset Kimono" in person to fully appreciate this masterpiece.  This photo is only one view of this spectacular woven glass sculpture that is on display in our Gallery show extended through Sunday December 13, 2009.  

Markow & Norris will be here in the Gallery on Thursday evening December 10 at 6:30 to discuss this and their other sculptures in depth.   Please RSVP to attend this event; 301.571.8966.
