Beyond the Field In Plain Sight: the David Hammons BUAM Artist-in-Residence Program

Works by Bryan Fernandez, Santiago Parra, and Fahim Rahman
Spool Contemporary, 138 Baldwin Street, Johnson Cit, NY 13790

Reception: Friday, April 26, 6-9PM
Open hours: April 27-28, 12-4PM

In this pop-up exhibition, the students have created work that find its lens and inspiration in Hammons’ wit, sarcasm, compassion, and complex practices, but their work moves beyond these elements to engage questions identity, culture, ritual, and art making. Support for these projects was generously provided by Art Bridges.

Everything I’ve Never Said

April 4 – April 18, 2024

Opening on Thursday, April 4, 4:30 – 6:30 pm

Artist talks on Monday, April 8, 4:30 – 6:30 pm

 

The fifteen graduating Binghamton University Art & Design BFA students will feature their works in the exhibition Everything I’ve Never Said. The exhibition opens to the public April 4th, with an opening reception at 4:30 pm, and will remain on view until April 18th. Artist talks will take place Monday, April 8th at 4:30 pm. All events are free and open to the public.

 

This exhibition represents the culmination of their BFA degree program and features artworks spanning multiple disciplines, including painting, drawing, graphic design, printmaking, sculpture, game design, video installation, and more. Everything I’ve Never Said is an ode to life’s unspoken moments and a celebration of art’s ability to materialize the experiences, emotions, and personal narratives of the participating artists. It is also an invitation to viewers to explore themes of introspection, reflection, and self-discovery, as each artist confronts the unspoken and finds solace in the act of creation.

 

Binghamton University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is a pre-professional degree with an intensive focus in studio art and design for students who wish to pursue arts-related careers. Our students go on to work in a wide range of creative industries; as practicing artists after graduation; or go on to pursue graduate degrees. Students can choose to concentrate in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Printmaking, or Graphic Design.

The 2024 BFA artists are: Zoe Congdon, Anna Faulkner, Gabriella Harbord, Jade Kirdahy, Santa Barbara Maslar, Atlas Mason, Giovanna Mitchell, Em O’Brien, Santiago Parra, Addy Phoenix, Fahim Rahman, Caitlin Smith, Fiona Sullivan, Alexa Valadez, and Samantha Velasquez-Ballin.

This brief overview by a paintmaker describes how artists have pushed the limitations of available materials, used new techniques to work at the margins of material capabilities, and embraced new technologies — for better or for worse.

Join the Binghamton University Art Museum for Painted Exchanges: Artists and Paintmakers 1968-76 opening reception, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 1, 2024. At 6:00 p.m. there will be remarks and a short musical performance inspired by artwork on view.

Between 1968 and 1976, paintmaker Leonard Bocour, with his wife and collaborator Ruth Bocour, made a series of gifts to the collection of the Binghamton University Art Museum, augmented by additional gifts from Sam Golden, Bocour’s nephew and partner in Bocour Artist Colors. The artists represented in this collection were beneficiaries of a network of exchanges, whereby the paintmakers gave paints to financially strapped artists to enable them to continue to make work, made connections for them with galleries, and gave lectures to their art school students, and, in exchange, they solicited feedback on the qualities that the painters sought in their materials, received assistance in placing their paints in local art stores, enjoyed being part of the creative milieu, and frequently received paintings in lieu of monetary payments.

Some of the artists in this exhibition have found a place in the narrative of art history, others have gained less recognition, yet together, their works offer insight into American artmaking during a period of reorientation in the waning days of the New York School’s abstraction. This exhibition invites visitors to closely examine the paintings’ surfaces, offering insight into a range of styles, materials and techniques, as some artists sought to expand the possibilities of abstraction, while others leaned toward the figurative.

Gifts from Leonard and Ruth Bocour and Sam Golden to the Binghamton University Art Museum are among the many contributions they made to university and civic museums in the Northeast, and beyond. In so doing, they supported artists in placing their work in public institutions, furthered art education, expanded the audience for contemporary art by affording regional access to it, and enabled museums to enrich the collections under their stewardship.

The exhibition was incubated in the Thinking Through Painting course, co-taught by the curators. Preliminary research on several of the paintings from the Bocour collection was conducted by students in the two-semester research intensive course sequence offered under Binghamton University’s Source Project initiative.

Co-curated by Andrea Kastner, Department of Art and Design, and Pamela Smart, Department of Art History. Support is provided by donors to the Kenneth C. Lindsay Study Room Fund and to the Binghamton Fund for the University Art Museum.

Betsy Jo Williams, a longtime member of the Cooperative Gallery teams up with her daughter Amy McLaren in a joint show called “A Tale of Two Stories.” Williams works clay and wood sculptures and Williams-Mclaren is an oil painter. “A daughter and a mother. One in her late 70’s one in her late 40’s. Each has her own story to tell but then isn’t all art about stories? Some stories are more camouflaged than others. Some are beautiful stories. Some are sad. Some are told in a way that makes you smile or laugh even when the story is not a happy one. People respond differently to the same story since they bring their own experiences and interpretations into it.” OPEN Fridays 5-8 pm Saturdays 11 am- 3 pm and by appt with the artists. Art Talk on third Thursdays at 7 pm via Zoom or in person.
