SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Pintura Básica
DESCRIPTION:Únase a nosotros para una demostración de técnica básica de pintura al óleo con el artista Henry Bermudez. Discutiremos cómo preparar el lienzo para pintar al óleo con aplicación de yeso y cómo usar el medio para la disolución de la pintura al óleo. También hablaremos de diferentes técnicas para pintar con pincel y espátula. \nUno de los intereses de Henry Bermúdez a través de toda su carrera ha sido la necesidad de representar aspectos ancestrales de las culturas primigenias de las cuales ha tenido contacto. Inicialmente\, a la edad de veintiún años\, se encuentra con la cultura afro americana en el pueblo de Bobures\, localidad ubicada a orillas del sur del Lago de Maracaibo\, (Venezuela). Allí los mitos\, las leyendas y símbolos empiezan a permear su obra\, entrelazándose con elementos representativos de la cultura contemporánea. Luego en 1977 decide vivir una temporada en México\, donde su obra se ve nutrida por toda la cultura prehispánica Azteca\, principalmente influenciada por el mito del Quetzalcoalt\, la serpiente emplumada\, que viene a marcar un referente importante en toda su carrera. En el año 1981\, se traslada a la ciudad de New York donde a través del Museo Metropolitano de arte\, entra en contacto con las máscaras africanas y todo lo previamente experimentado en la localidad de Bobures\, lo anecdótico y referencial de del mito oral\, del cuento de camino\, de la leyenda remota\, comienza a tener cuerpo y forma\, representándose de manera inaudita y viniendo a emerger con otra vitalidad y carácter. En el año 1985\, es invitado a participar en la Bienal de Venecia y es allí donde entra en contacto con las raíces de la cultura occidental\, ya que decide residenciarse una temporada en la ciudad de Roma. Así el Renacimiento viene a ser un contrapeso significativo entre lo primitivo y selvático y el orden racional y lógico\, tomando como un elemento iconográfico a la imagen de los Duques de Urbino. Para el año 1997 realiza una excursión al profundo Amazonas\, donde entra en contacto con la cultura Yanomami\, y así la referencia del mito a través de lo antropomórfico\, comienza a tener un carácter predominante en su obra. En el año 2014 realiza un viaje al Perú\, donde entra en contacto con la cultura Inca y las ánforas funerarias vienen a llamar su atención y vienen a colarse en su cartografía mitogràfica\, en su topología del mito hispano. \nAsí llegamos a estas fechas más recientes \, donde Bermúdez esta residenciado desde 2004 en la ciudad de Philadelphia\, y es la contemporaneidad de la cultura norteamericana\, que le permite tejer una red barroca entre lo actual y lo ancestral\, tomando elementos de la cultura kitsch y pop\, (como la escarcha y el tatuaje) para hilar un discurso que se aleja de lo antropocéntrico y vincular al hombre en una cultura que comienza a hacerse difusa ante la naturaleza del mito. \nEsta visita está abierta al público con una donación sugerida de $ 10\, pero está limitada a un número máximo de 100 participantes. Se requiere registro avanzado. El seminario se realizará a través de Zoom\, al que se puede acceder desde computadoras de escritorio y portátiles\, así como desde dispositivos móviles. Recomendamos descargar la aplicación Zoom a su dispositivo con anticipación. Recibirá una URL para unirse a la demostración después de completar el proceso de registro.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Painting in 3D
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a demonstration of a very unique technique the artist Claes Gabriel uses to make his colorful and bold sculptural paintings. We’ll learn his process in building a the structural frame\, stretching canvas on a varied angled frame\, and designing and painting the sculptural piece. We’ll also discuss Claes’ recent foray into mural painting and his mural “Boat People.” \nClaes Gabriel is a Philadelphia-based artist from Port-au-Prince\, Haiti. Gabriel immigrated to the States in 1989 and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1999. His three-dimensional paintings ring with the spiritual energy of beings from folklore and his own imagined tales\, capturing a deified presence in each piece. Inspired by modernists such as Frank Stella and Sam Gilliam\, Gabriel’s work lives beyond the confines of a flat wall; he stretches and sews canvases taut over wooden armatures to construct masks and free-standing statues. After considering the natural shape of the piece\, Gabriel uses bright acrylics to pull out patterns\, eyes\, lips\, and personality that seem to rise to the surface of their own free will. Gabriel often says he knows a piece is finished when he can bow to it. \nThis demonstration is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The tour will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance.

SUMMARY:Havana Time: a Conversation with Dara Haskins & James Claiborne
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia-based curator and cultural worker James Claiborne is joined by visual artist Dara Haskins for a conversation exploring Haskins’ 2019 series of paintings\, entitled Havana Time. This dialogue centers on time both Haskins and Claiborne separately spent in Havana\, Cuba\, and looks to explore issues of normalcy\, visibility\, and community. Produced as a meditation on Haskins’ 2019 residency in Havana\, this series of paintings continues Haskins’ exploration of the Black Queer body\, and is inspired by Afro-Cuban religion and culture\, the stunning backdrop of the city of Havana\, and the community and connections held there by both Haskins and Claiborne. \nThis event is part of Fleisher’s Social Activism Through Art series. It is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. This event will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance. You will receive a URL to join the discussion after you complete the registration process. \nDara Haskins artist statement:\nMy work has been impacted by the surroundings of living in Vedado and Old Havana Cuba. Originating from an important part of my painting process that lies between connecting historical content to the contemporary spaces\, and how that relationship coexists. Havana Time is my complete reflection of the month I lived there. It is inspired by the Afro-Cuban religion\, African art\, location\, and music. This series explores a reflected story of intimacy\, color\, joy\, and Afro-Cuban culture. From Photographs and sketches\, I composed 16-20 small to large scale oil paintings of surrounding people\, places\, and objects I navigated daily. Throughout history\, the gay black body has been a reflection of racism\, underrepresentation\, and hardship. I am to challenge that reflection by capturing the essence of what day to day may or may not look like manifesting normalcy and transparency in domestic spaces. I challenge the memory of my work by exaggerating color and structure to create an atmosphere as well as physical elements of figures or objects as being seen or not seen that reflect and question identity. \nDara Haskins (b.1992 Baltimore) Has rooted her practice in Philadelphia working primarily in painting oil portraits and figurative oil and mixed media paintings. Addressing the ways the black body has been represented and looked at throughout history\, she challenges the identity of being seen and unseen connecting historical content to contemporary spaces and how that relationship coexists. She is currently working on a series of paintings called quarantine series 2020. It reflects isolation\, relationships\, and intimacy throughout figurative oil self-portrait paintings in areas in her home and bedroom. Transferring from Anne Arundel community college in 2017 Haskins received her BFA at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2019. Winning the Franklin C. Watkins Memorial Grant for gifted painters in (2019) and The J Henry Scheidt Memorial Travel Scholarship to Cuba in (2019). She currently lives and works in Philadelphia. \nJames Claiborne is the Public Programming Manager for the African American Museum in Philadelphia. Prior to his current position at AAMP\, James served as the Community Engagement Manager for the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance\, Program Manager with First Person Arts\, and the Editor for Visit Philadelphia’s Philly 360 campaign. Currently\, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Philadelphia Cultural Fund\, a non-profit that distributes over $2 million in city funding to the region’s arts organizations. As an independent curator\, James founded the gallery program at Art Sanctuary\, and has presented exhibitions by a range of artists\, including Deborah Willis\, James Dupree\, Amber Arts\, Richard Watson and Barkley Hendricks.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance - A Day Ends / A Day Begins: Technology as a Language for Empathy
DESCRIPTION:During this interactive\, cross-disciplinary event\, learn about The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s current exhibition\, Samara Golden: Upstairs at Steve’s. Led by museum tour manager Katie Parry and University of Pennsylvania computer and information science doctoral student Ajay Patel\, this event will examine a defining characteristic of our current cultural moment: an overwhelming feeling of isolation coupled with a pervasive\, wired connectivity. Katie will give a short presentation about Samara Golden’s collaboration with FWM that coincided with the unsteadiness 2020 presented\, inviting us to wonder: how can we reflect on our days? How can we understand this moment with empathy? Can technology help us? The events of 2020 impacted the installation of Golden’s work and called for FWM staff to imagine new ways to connect to the public using technology as a tool and a companion. Ajay Patel will discuss the creative process of developing an interactive artificial intelligence platform in response to Golden’s work and its potential to generate empathy\, inspire action\, and conjure hope. \nAjay Patel is currently a Ph.D. student in machine learning at the University of Pennsylvania and the founder of Plasticity\, an AI startup. Recently\, Ajay helped build an AI project for Samara Golden’s exhibit at The Fabric Workshop and Museum. \nKatie Parry is a practicing artist with 20 years of experience in arts education. In her current role as museum tour manager at she imagines tours\, workshops\, and programs to engage all ages. She works in the community to build partnerships that become bridges—connecting contemporary art to all ages. Parry believes that art can serve as a mirror in which concepts such as identity\, loss\, violence\, injustice\, nature\, and love can be reflected within ourselves while we are looking and creating. As an educator\, Parry works towards holding these mirrors up to the light. \nThis event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to a maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The event will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices.

SUMMARY:Social Activism Through Art: Jewelry Settings
DESCRIPTION:In this Zoom Event\, Kathryn Kelly will share with us her journey from Philadelphia artist\, architect\, woodworker\, and former Fleisher student to Central Saint Martins in London\, a mecca for design. She will discuss her motivations and her drive to pursue higher education regardless of challenges along the way. She will showcase her work and her process while discussing sources of inspiration. A question and answer period will follow Kathryn’s presentation. \nKathryn Kelly is a jewelry designer from Pennsylvania whose extensive experience in the fields of architecture and woodworking informs her designs\, both aesthetically and technically. The daughter of an architect\, woodworker\, and ceramicist\, she incorporates her own experience in each of these crafts into her jewelry designs which are formally influenced by architectural details as well as methods from furniture making. Her jewelry is created in precious materials using a combination of rapid prototyping\, lathe turning\, casting\, and hand fabrication.
