Formulation: Articulation
10/25/2008  - 12/07/2008
Josef Albers is one of the 20th century’s most influential artists and theorists. This exhibition presents an overview of his work through a series of 66 limited edition silkscreen prints, originally issued in 1972. Drawing on over forty years of Albers' work in a variety of media, they represent a summation of his creative life. All of Albers' thinking on color and geometrical relationships is embodied in Formulation: Articulation.   The series of prints was carefully sequenced by the artist to be examined and appreciated for its visual interaction, and as individual works of art.  The artworks in the exhibition are accompanied by analytical statements from Albers' extensive writings.

PostSecret
12/13/2008  - 02/01/2009
Frank Warren, artist and author, has developed this exhibition of the PostSecret project with International Arts and Artists. In 2004, Warren began his community art project in Washington, D.C., by handing out postcards to strangers and inviting them to mail him a secret. This exhibition features over 450 of the best secrets from the 100,000 plus postcards Warren has received to date. The secrets they tell reveal certain “truths” about the hopes, fears and realities of our contemporary society. For more information, and to view the secrets sent to Frank Warren this week, go to the project website: www.postsecretcommunity.com.
