Exhibition Statement

Learning to draw is really a matter of learning to see – to see correctly – and that means a good deal more than merely looking with the eye. (Kimon Nicolaides)

In the context of the Exhibition, “to be drawn to it means “to be attracted to a work of Art”. One may be thinking of “drawn” in the artistic sense, as in making a sketch, but in this case, it regards to be the allure of artistic styles and approaches.

About the Curator

Nikolaos Yulis received his Master’s in Visual Arts from Miami International University of Arts & Design and Graduate studies, Parson’s School of Design and C.W. Post in New York. He has exhibits both at the national and international level. He is an Art Coordinator at South Broward College and a Gallery consultant.

What’s Your Elephant Art Exhibit to Opens with Compelling Art and Performances

 

Opening Night + Performance: Saturday, August 18th | 1310 Gallery | 6pm-10pm

Artist Niki Lopez will be curating her 10th Annual Art Show at Fort Lauderdale’s 1310 Gallery. She was recently featured on the People Magazine Investigates: Cults series on the Investigation Discovery channel. There, Lopez shared her story of being raised in an abusive cult that thrived on secrecy, until she and other survivors broke their silence, which ultimately brought down the cult and its leader.

This experience inspired her to create a space in her art to share her “elephant” (an obvious truth that is being ignored or otherwise unaddressed) and to passionately provide opportunities for others to do the same. What’s Your Elephant uses a combination of art exhibits, interactive installations, and workshops to provoke and facilitate discussions unveiling issues like gender, discrimination, and abuse.

Visual Artists:

  • Adewale Adenle
  • Artists for Black Lives Matter #a4blm
  • Cathleen Dean
  • Cindy Shaw
  • Jodi Stoner
  • Kristin Beck
  • Mary Catello
  • Naomi Lauren Ross
  • Natalya Kochak – Niki Lopez
  • Rene Gordon
  • Robbi Potter
  • Stonewall National Museum & Archives (COMMUNITY PARTNER
  • Susan Buzzi
  • Tabatha Mudra
  • Talora Michaels
  • Teepop
  • Tina La Porta
  • Victoria Sheridan
  • #whatsyourelephant workshop artwork
  • Wilbert Simpson

Attendees are invited to participate with an interactive installation to share their “elephant.” Lopez will also host a “What’s Your Elephant” workshop at the location of this exhibition’s community partner – Stonewall National Museum & Archives on Thursday, August 2, 2018.Participants will use creative arts in a safe space to reveal individual or societal “elephants” impacting their lives. “It’s about acknowledging it [the elephant] owning it, so that it doesn’t define you,” says Lopez.

Admission is free and open to the public. This exhibition presents materials of a sensitive nature. Viewer discretion is advised.

Opening night will be hosted by poet Rachel ‘Flow Diva’ Finely and include performances byInez Barlatier,Venus Rising, Mystic Mantra Band, May Reign, Dillon, Morgyn Danae, G. Winston James, Charnell Richards and Chelsea Ward. Music DJ Bumi.

Posted on by

1310 Gallery has the honor to invite you to the November Exhibition.

newlayercover

 

Layers: A Conscious Transformation of Energy is a collective art exhibition that explores the concept of the layers of life that affect us, from societal structures and social behavior to interpersonal relationships, self-discovery, inner growth and spiritual evolution.

LayersBack2

 

The exhibition focuses on artists’ interpretations of the impact of these various layers on the self and society and the challenge for individuals to embrace the process of self-discovery to consciously transform their lives at the core and, subsequently, the world around them.

Layers stimulate us to question our notions of identity, normality, and the definition of humanity.

The exhibition will include Guest Speakers Dr. Elizabeth Bonnet and Rosa De Lourdes, Presentations by Shayna Saurez and Johanne Rutledge, Musical component by Reina Sang and Sound Meditation by Urban Namaste

June 18th – August 13th 2016

What’s Your Elephant: Art + Performance + Community Outreach

Produced: Niki Lopez of Niki Art Studio, Alana DaCosta & at 1310 Gallery

Deadline for entry: May 27, 2016
Installation dates: June 15-17, 2016
Opening night: Saturday June 18, 2016
Location: 1310 Gallery, Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts

Open to:  all mediums.

Paintings, Sculpture, Installation art, Video art, Mixed media, 2D & 3D works.  Preference given to

interactive & installation pieces.

Submitted artwork should fit or complement the theme “Elephant in the Room” which can be either conceptual or literal in context:

Media themes seeking: controversial, hidden agenda, taboos, secrets, discrimination, inequality, privileges,  challenges to social norms,  masks,  cover -ups and other uncomfortable issues we sometimes choose to hide.

Let’s go there again! “What’s Your

Elephant” as in ‘the elephant in the room’ is metaphorical idiom for an obvious truth that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss, It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook; thus, people in the room who pretend the elephant is not there have chosen to avoid dealing with the looming big issue.

An important and obvious topic, which everyone present is aware of, but which isn’t discussed, as such discussion is considered to be uncomfortable.

There will be a panel discussion as well as a month-long interactive piece inviting the community to share their ‘elephant’.

Artists are welcomed to  participate  in a community outreach art project  with local at-risk youth.  Artists who are interested in volunteering in the art project please contact the producers of the show. All participating artists are encouraged to participate in all of the events; however,  the only requirement is to be available  the opening night.
