Personal Effects
September 10 - October 23, 2011
Opening Reception September 10, 7-10 PM

Main Gallery
Personal Effects is a sprawling exhibition presenting the idiosyncratic, street
art based collection of photographer Eric Wolfe, and featuring works by more
than
65 international artists including SWOON, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Faile, Bast,
Kara
Walker, Brian Eno, Claes Oldenburg and Anna Gaskell.
In 2004, Wolfe purchased a wheatpaste graphic mounted on wood from a high school
student known as Gaia. In the following years, his collection grew rapidly,
with
works being purchased from galleries, at auction, or directly from the artists,
sometimes using trade or barter. Many of the artists Wolfe became interested in
were in the early stages of their gallery careers or were still relatively
unknown
outside of a small community.
Wolfe's collecting impulses connect with his ongoing need to collect and
preserve
bits of ephemera from his own life as well as the detritus of strangers. Aligned
with the burgeoning market for street art, Wolfe's modus operandi has led to
the
creation of a collection that eventually no longer fit under one roof. As the
years
passed, Wolfe's taste and purchases have evolved along with changes in his own
life
- a reflection of the deeply personal nature of this collection. While street
art
remains at its heart, other forms of contemporary art are well represented and
thematic
groupings crossing all genres and eras have developed, such as works inclusive
of
the F-word, rabbit imagery and a significant collection of Peter Norton
Christmas
gifts. A variety of mediums are also represented, including stencil, collage,
painting,
papercut, spray paint, screen printing and sculpture.
>From Bushwick to Bristol and beyond, Personal Effects brings together Wolfe's
>collection
of over 100 pieces of artwork on simultaneous display for the first time.

Scabs, Bandages and Skeletons

Project Room
"Like a mad scientist or surgeon, I have constructed disjointed protruding bones
(re-imagining the internal skeleton of a piece of furniture) and have
obsessively
attempted to repair used kitchen towels by stitching every piece back together
again.
Not content with trying to repair such mundane every day objects, I've also
attempted
to create 'scabs' for old wooden floors, plugging up the gouges that decades of
use have wrought."
Can an inanimate object be "healed?" '10 Aferro Studio Resident Caroline Mak
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=qb6haecab&et=1107429468854&s=10490&e=0018IiGI3TX1UsodhAc3Z_4uEg56t-9nQbGvEzayroxOJdgFSOCms_AKLtw55tgMMus-AlKL_lrj7cfoHh2Od8iTtokFurzIa_B5Cc6dnXHFru0uRZxNlUtvQ==]'s
attempted mimicry of this organic, biological process led to a new series of
sculptural
objects from found and discarded materials from everyday life, as well as from
the
vast resources of eBay where barely functioning goods can still have a second
life.The
objects that have been "healed" or repaired range from broken ladders and
chairs,
to punctured inner tubes and tangerines.
Facts and Figures
Barbara Wallace

Opening Reception September 10, 7-10 PM
Closing Reception October 21, 7-10 PM
as part of the 10th annual Newark Open Doors Studio Tour
Liminal Space
'09 Studio Resident Barbara Wallace's spare, confrontational installation in the
Liminal Space consists of two large scale sculptures representing the
full-sized
figures of a man and a woman, and a series of sculpted portrait heads based on
the
individuals from the artist's inner circle. The works are created in the
faux-bronze
technique that Wallace has mastered
Wallace is interested in the meaning of creating a portrait: the physical
likeness
of a person vs. their inner essence. The process that the artist uses has more
to
do with her experience and memories of the person involved than of the actual
features
of the person she portrays. Wallace is inspired by the words of the great 19th
century
photographer Julia Margaret Cameron: ". . . my whole soul has endeavored to do
its
duty towards them in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner man as well
as the features of the outer man."
GlassRoots: Collaborations with Matter
September 10 - October 23, 2011
Opening Reception September 10, 7-10 PM
Closing Reception October 21, 7-10 PM
as part of the 10th annual Newark Open Doors Studio Tour
New Media Room
Gallery Aferro and GlassRoots are proud to unveil an exhibition that includes
works
created by young artists, teaching artists and artist friends of GlassRoots
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=qb6haecab&et=1107429468854&s=10490&e=0018IiGI3TX1UuteCHakriNht8QvjsithGJYJsBwcoiThajI87FigjwlN64mJbLXBfz2H52gk66H-VOk9DanvwQQ5Gj8FxgCnN1NTuZIfFOOgl6tw48qv9waQ==].
The exhibition takes inspiration from the three states of matter. Through a
highly
collaborative process, the works on exhibit represent the artists' attempt to
interpret
and reflect the unique qualities of glass and its ability to be transformed into
expressions of themselves. Made of glass, all works were manipulated by fire
and
heat over open flames, in kilns to temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees.
Some pieces on exhibit were created by students who only six weeks prior had no
experience or knowledge of glass making. Others were created by highly trained
and
practiced professionals. All, however, reflect the life experiences, personal
beliefs,
influences and creativity of their creators.
