Emily Lisker's strange, visceral theaterscapes paintings explode in size and color in the new series "Three's a Crowd." Michelle L'Heurex new series "Gender Redux "explores the ambiguity of our identity as well as the ambiguity that exists within the multiple layers of the painted surface. John Bhogal rocks the Youth Gallery on the 2nd floor with "Handle It!" mixed media paintings spanning styles that hit just right. But let us not forget the photographic medium, Russ Pedro presents a series of photographic still lives in the Open Window gallery. The AS220 Project Space presents "Screening My Thoughts" videos and book works by Julia Gandrund. Delicate line & Primordial images twist & dance & open up to the magical beauty of the world, sometimes softly like a whisper.

& like a whisper that turns into monsoon we have a special autumn surprise: we have transformed our little side room exhibition space into a bookshop/reading room/printed ephemera exhibition space. we are looking to feature works by book artists & and makers of printed ephemera of all stripes!

Welcome to autumn! October is here & we can hardly contain our excitement for the hauntingly enchanting shows this month....

At the Main Gallery we have: Do It! Show It! Sing It! Work It! An AS220 Group Exhibit with work by, staff, residents, volunteers, and other luminaries that shine upon the little valley of AS220! Head on over to the Project Space where artist Holly Ewald, working with Folklorist Michael Bell created a life sized book installation Languages of the Land, A Dialogue with The Downs.
As part of the the installation In Place, Elsewhere: Artists' Book exhibition will be exhibited in the side room of the AS220 Project Space. Artist Holly Ewald and AS220 Gallery Director Neal Walsh invited artists to contribute artists' books on the theme of Place, and the various ways we experience being in place. An artists talk with Holly Ewald and contributing artists is scheduled for Thursday October 15th from 6pm-8pm, at the As220 Project Space. And last but not least, we have new photography by Ray Min & Miguel Rosario in the Youth Gallery. Ray Min's work documents the world of local boxing clubs, while Miguel Rosario explores the life and culture of the Dominican Republic.

So while you're sippin' some cider and rotting your teeth with candy corn, don't forget to check out the AS220 galleries this month!
