Sculptures are sited on both public and private land throughout the village and at The Current. \nThis year celebrates artists of both national renown and those with emergent regional careers\, providing a diverse collection of perspectives for broad inspiration. Art can be a meaning- or change-maker\, a cultivator of conversation\, or a way to participate in and interpret the world. At its best\, art connects us to where we are in time or place\, whether physical or cerebral\, political or personal. It connects us with the people and the world around us\, asking questions\, and encouraging empathy and understanding. \nArtists \n\nChakaia Booker\nChris Curtis\nClark Derbes\nWoody De Othello\nJustin Kenney\nJohn Matusz\nOren Pinhassi\nDon Porcaro\nJonathan Prince\nJackson Tupper\nHank Willis Thomas URL:https://gostowe.com/event/exposed-outdoor-sculpture-exhibition-2/2024-07-25/ LOCATION:The Current\, 5 School Street\, PO Box 411\, Stowe\, VT\, 05672\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,Community Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://gostowe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screen-Shot-2024-05-28-at-9.59.27-AM.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Current":MAILTO:gallery@thecurrentnow.org GEO:44.4649131;-72.6846278 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Current 5 School Street PO Box 411 Stowe VT 05672 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=5 School Street\, PO Box 411:geo:-72.6846278,44.4649131 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240725 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240726 DTSTAMP:20240731T093625 CREATED:20240530T205325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240606T144737Z UID:10031184-1721865600-1721951999@gostowe.com SUMMARY:Climate Imprints DESCRIPTION:Climate Imprints\nJune 22 – October 19\, 2024\nOpening Reception Saturday\, June 22\, 2024\, 4-7 p.m. \nGallery Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.\, Monday – Friday\, Saturday 10 a.m.-3 p.m. \nFrom lithographs to embroidered screenprints to woodcuts\, The Current presents Climate Imprints\, curated by three master printmakers of the highly acclaimed EFA Blackburn Printmaking Workshop\, Chakaia Booker\, Tara Sabharwal\, and Justin Sanz.

Internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist Chakaia Booker is best known for pioneering the use of recycled rubber tires as a raw material for monumental sculptural works. A fixture of the New York City East Village art scene since the early 1980’s\, Booker has exhibited across the US\, in Europe\, Africa\, and Asia with works included in more than 40 museum and private collections. \nBooker’s work has spanned decades with an intentionality of practice and purpose. She chooses discarded tires to create beauty from detritus\, and elegance from industry in a way that both simply is\, and yet has strong underpinnings of social and environmental justice. Her solo exhibition at The Current\, both inside and out\, highlights beauty and hardship\, tradition and caretaking\, and dives deep into Booker’s practice\, highlighting a monumental outdoor sculpture\, while inside The Current\, her photographs\, prints\, and indoor sculptures fill the galleries. The work asks the viewers to take time to listen\, lean in\, contemplate\, heal\, work\, create\, and be. \nBooker’s signature style stems from a modular approach to building an artwork through layering regardless of media or scale. Primarily a sculptor\, Booker works with rubber\, bronze\, and ceramics alongside a dedicated practice in painting and printmaking. “At my core I am an inventor\, looking for new forms and movements to express my ideas\, methods to manipulate materials and processes\, and ways to connect with an ever-changing audience.” – Chakaia Booker \nTaking Time: A solo exhibition by Chakaia Booker is curated by Rachel Moore. \nThe Current is your center for contemporary art. Exhibitions of acclaimed international and emerging artists. Adult and youth art classes and private lessons. School tours\, film screenings\, lectures\, outdoor exhibitions\, and summer art camps. All brought to you through the generous support of our town\, our members and our sponsors.

Elaine Cole-Kerr will promote her Children’s books and Vermont Covered Bridge Calendar! \nAbout the Elaine Cole-Kerr: \nElaine was born and raised in Westmore\, where the mountain top view of Lake Willoughby inspired her painting. Works include portraits of animals and friends and depict landscapes and sights familiar to residents of the NEK. \nA self-taught\, inspiring artist\, Elaine enjoys working in a number of mediums including pencil\, watercolor\, oils and acrylics. Familiar scenes presented by the artist move from the common-place to the extraordinary. Many of her frames are designed and created by her husband\, Rod Kerr. Says Cole Kerr\, “My husband not only makes the beautiful frames but has helped me build my business and is very supportive.” This is a great passion that I so cherish !\nFollowing a brief retirement from painting\, Elaine returned to share her talents\, creating scenes on not only canvas\, but also barn board and glass. Cole Kerr was recently the featured artist at Copley Hospital Morrisville\, NVRH Hospital in St. Johnsbury\, WREN Gallery\, Bethlehem\, N H. Some of her work is also at the NEK Crafter’s Emporium in Newport\, Vt. Elaine will do commissioned work of your favorite place\, jus email her! Elaine also has a gallery at her residence in Greensboro\, VT. \nShe has also exhibited in other venues in our area\, including a display at Greensboro Free Library\, and the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro.\nThe artist’s works call to mind painting by “Grandma Moses\,” Ralph Cahoon and Martha Cahoon\, whose artworks have been associated with the “primitive” school of painting.
