February 13–March 13: Robert & Shana Parke Harrison Exhibit: Selected Works:
Rich colors and surrealistic imagery merge to reveal the poetic roots of the photographic
works on display in this collaborative exhibition. As in their earlier works, the ParkeHarrison’s continue to pursue, with the same absorbing psychological and sensory effect, the unpromising relationship linking humans, technology, and nature. Their works reference a world we recognize and we think we know, but exist outside time and place. Director’s Choice: Ann Conrad: Layers+Meaning/Order+Space: The collection of works in this new exhibit begins with a close look at a fundamental landscape element: water.  Water provides visual power, symbolic power (offering the possibility of renewal, reflection, metamorphoses and serenity), and the contradictory power to both give and destroy life.  The cross-pollination of photography, printmaking, and painting has allowed the artist to see, think about, and to call attention to technology’s ability to alter and enhance our visual reality and to contemplate what it means in this age of digital technology to be made by hand and to be one of a kind. Juried Guild Group Show: Elsewhere: Elsewhere is elusive, it is anywhere but ‘here.”  In this juried exhibition, diverse ideas and works in all mediums by Silvermine Guild Artists reflect upon contemporary issues such as aging, war, economics, and the environment. Juried by Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. March 22–April 17: Director’s Choice: Janet Baldi: Bodegónes: Large oil on canvas paintings of still-lifes. Judith Steinberg Exhibit: Boldly colored constructed wall sculptures. Using mixed media such as wire, metal and cut paper. Florence Suerig: Moore of Less: Large white, ceramic sculptures which incorporate forms that build on the tradition of the work of Henry Moore. Fran Henry-Meehan & Diana Moore: Two-person show of Henry-Meehan’s monotype prints of garments and Moore’s cast metal purses.

February 9–March 19: Some Things the World Gave: Jan Lhormer and Susan Schwalb. Curated by Barbara O’Brien. The title, from a poem by Mary Oliver, reflects the vantage point of the artists who look to the natural world for inspiration using the vocabulary of abstraction. Lhormer’s paintings create a lyrical tension between expressive abstraction and the idyllic Cape seascapes and gardenscapes. Schwalb’s silverpoint and acrylic on paper distill the essence of light on the horizon in translucent striated passages. Reception with artists: February 12, 5–7 p.m. March 23 – April 17: Today’s Tomorrow: Sculpture and Installation by June Ahrens, curated by Barbara O’Brien. Ahrens lives and works in Connecticut and Lower Manhattan. Her sculptural installations are based on the knowledge that tactile materials, especially those with a previous life, focus the viewer’s attention toward examining their own thoughts and feelings. Her work since 9/11 (she was in Lower Manhattan) has abstracted the images, forms and emotions of that day and its aftermath. The work on view incorporates everyday materials such as felt, insulation foam, hot glue stick, window screening, paper and deconstructed safety pins. Reception with the artist: March 23, 5–7 p.m.

Through March 22: Hugh Townley: Against the Grain: This exhibit highlights the career of one of the most original sculptors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, who spent the last eleven years of his life living in Bethel, Vermont. His imaginative, often whimsical forms of common and exotic varieties of wood communicate through a personal vocabulary drawn from nature, Native American culture, and Eastern spiritualism. January 13–May 10: Objects of Power: Curated by the students of the University of Vermont’s museum anthropology seminar, this exhibition draws from the Fleming Museum’s permanent collections and explores how power and identity can be expressed and transmitted through material culture. January 27–May 10: More than Bilingual: William Cordova and Major Jackson: Although Peruvian-born visual artist William Cordova and African-American poet Major Jackson come from divergent backgrounds, both artists find inspiration and common ground in music, literature, and the urban aesthetic. The fluency with which they navigate cultural signifiers and media, results in a shared visual multilingualism. The two artists have long admired one another’s work; the Fleming Museum is pleased to bring them together in a collaborative venture for the first time.
