Robin M Jordan
Scrappy
April 21- May 15, 2011 Opening Reception: Thursday, April 21, 6-8 p.m.
March 31, 2011, New York NY—Scrappy, an exhibition by Brooklyn artist, Robin M Jordan, will be on view at Chrystoph Marten Salon from April 21 - May 15, 2011. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, April 21 from 6-8 p.m. Known for her inventive use of materials and lyrical approach to artmaking, Jordan—in her first solo exhibition in New York City—will show recent sculptural works based on the theme of garden. Jordan says, “As an artist who is inspired by the materials in my environment, it is my home, garden, and the coming of spring that is the inspiration for this exhibition.”
Jordan creates her sculptures from welded steel rods and a variety of recycled materials—salvaged umbrella parts; silk and plastic flowers; abandoned plastic bottles; deconstructed sections from old paintings, works on paper, and sculptures; beach debris; and discarded kitchen utensils. The welded pieces are either based on the artist’s line drawings, or formed into leaves and stems and combined with scrap assemblages. These assemblages are freely

"The essence of sculpture is for me the perception of space, the continuum of our existence."
— Isamu Noguchi
Sculpture depends on space. As a visual artform that exists in three dimensions, it shares our world. Sculpture is making. For sculptors, it is exciting to combine the elements of movement through space, light, color, and form. It’s a thrill to imagine, to sketch, to experiment, and to use materials to make things develop from a vision into physical reality. Sculpture makes words, thoughts and images tangible.
Tenuous Threads
Juried and Curated by Patricia Miranda
Atlantic Gallery is very pleased to present TENUOUS THREADS, a two-part exhibition showcasing works incorporating textiles, fibers, threads and mixed media.Tenuous Threads alludes to the delicate lines that bring us together and sets us apart; that joins us yet repels us. All of life is connected through networks, systems, fibers and webs. Communication (visual, verbal, electrical, chemical, and kinetic) enables an exchange of information amongst all life forms. The exhibition includes innovative artworks that utilize textiles, fibers, threads (natural and synthetic) in sculpture, collage, 3D and 2D mixed media that communicates the strength and fragility of what binds all life.

Talon 2
This sculpture can be viewed on both the Front and Back, in other words, reversible.
The 5th edition of CURRENTS presents an exhibition in which artists respond to the theme of ABORTION. In this turbulent moment in history, abortion remains a signifier of people's ownership over their bodies, being as urgent a subject as any of the issues that now consume us.
The exhibition includes depictions of choice, loss, and anger; works of fecundity, disease, shame, and pain; images of helplessness and of power. There are pieces that reach into the past to demonstrate ways in which women used abortifacients, as well as work that is pro life and religious. All these propositions are united in the gallery to create a space in which we listen to each other.
