Open Studio: Negative Space Free Community Artmaking Monday, January 8, 2024 4 PM to 6 PM Pier 57 Pier 57, 11th Avenue, New York, NY, USA Media Inquiries: adam@culturalcounsel.com RSVP Coles Phillps, cover art for Life Magazine, January 27, 1910 © Yau Hoong Tang via Colossal Magazine Our eyes are trained to see things right in front of us. But what if we look in between those objects and patterns? Artists such as Coles Phillips and Yau Hoong Tang use the idea of negative space differently – one omits and one adds. After looking at the work of these artists, children will create their own representations of the “in between” of negative space. About Open Studio Open Studio at Pier 57 invites children to explore hands-on projects across a wide range of artistic disciplines. Each session introduces children to the elements and principles of art while surveying artists across generations. Specially designed for children on the Autism Spectrum but welcoming to all, each session is multisensory focused. Participants will explore art materials (such as clay, paper, or textiles) at their own pace alongside movement breaks and ample time for storytelling and social interaction. Open Studio is recommended for ages 12 & under. What To Expect This activity takes place in the Community Classrooms at Pier 57, located just beyond the food hall. The program’s curriculum is rooted in accessible artmaking practices and Children’s Museum of the Arts’ pedagogy of Look, Make, Share.

Family Photo Collages Inspired by Tina Barney Gallery Visit Thursday, April 20, 2023 10 AM to 11:30 AM Kasmin Gallery Kasmin Gallery, 10th Avenue, New York, NY, USA Media Inquiries: adam@culturalcounsel.com RSVP First graders from PS 33M Chelsea Prep joined our Artists in Residence for a behind-the-scenes tour of Tina Barney ’s exhibition The Beginning at Kasmin Gallery. Taking a cue from Barney’s intimate photographs of familial traditions and domestic rituals, students collaged their own family photographs with art magazines, construction paper, and felt to create artworks that showed family memories in a whole new light. About the Exhibition Spanning the years 1976 to 1980, The Beginning brings together the earliest works of acclaimed American photographer Tina Barney (b. 1945). Featuring images largely unseen by the public, the exhibition chronicles a period of technical and artistic development that would lay the foundation for the complex and incisive tableaux that ultimately established Barney as a key figure in international photography. While quarantining during the Covid-19 outbreak, Barney began to sort through her archive of thousands of 35mm negatives, discovering long-forgotten images that reanimated her memories of life as a young artist: “The photographs in this book seem like X-rays of my mind,” she has said. Programs at Children's Museum of the Arts are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
