SUMMARY:Workshops on the Waterfront: Throwing Pottery with Julia O'Bryan
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a free workshop or live demo with a Torpedo Factory Art Center artist at the Waterfront entrance of the Art Center. There will be a different project every third Saturday of the month from April – September\, 1 – 3pm. \nJoin us for sunshine\, artmaking\, and fun! \n  \nThrowing Pottery with Julia O’Bryan\nJulia O’Bryan is the Spring Post-Grad Resident (Studio 319) and a graduate in Studio Art from Southwestern University in Georgetown Texas. She began throwing pottery when she was sixteen and it quickly became her passion. Her work stems from her childhood growing up in southwest Missouri as well as from her struggle with an aggressive auto-immune disease. \nJulia will demonstrate how to throw the base forms of mugs and bowls with porcelain. She will show different steps used in throwing different vessels on the pottery wheel from start to finish\, including centering the clay\, pulling walls\, and finishing. \n  \nArtist Statement: \n“The time we are given is an elusive commodity. The passage of time is the one thing we all have in common and yet\, not many of us stop to contemplate. We cannot change it. We all go through the same days\, hours\, and minutes\, and yet we all spend them differently. We define our own time by the memories we create and our experiences. You are the only person that can decide how to use the time you are given and whether it has been a time well spent. My work is inspired by my struggle with an autoimmune disease that has greatly altered my view on time and the way that I spend the time I have. Much like the coral I use as a metaphor to represent the destruction throughout my lungs\, as it is slowly being choked by the toxins around it as it continues to fight for survival in its environment\, I am trying to survive when the odds are stacked against me. I hope that my work gives the sense of a beautiful life well lived. I hope that my work gives joy\, hope\, and support to others in a similar position.”

SUMMARY:LE DRIP: The Uncontainable Sauce of Black Essence
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: April 23 – July 17\, 2022\nExhibition Reception: Friday\, May  13\, 2022 7 – 10pm  \n  \nView Online Catalog\nLE DRIP: The Uncontainable Sauce of Black Essence is a solo exhibition by Washington-based artist Blu Murphy\, Target Gallery’s 2022 solo exhibition recipient. The LE DRIP series is a group of mixed media portraits created as a tribute to the black community and celebrates the essence\, beauty\, and magic of this resilient and often undervalued group of people. \nThe subject matters included in this series are elementary and middle school students who attend a title one school in southeast D. C.\, where the artist also teaches arts education. Through collage\, the artist carefully and strategically combined the statement “I Am Art” with graffiti and images that represent black narratives. The portraits in this series offer the viewer an opportunity to challenge their perspectives and see a subset of individuals who are often unseen or overlooked as valuable masterpieces. \nThe white industrial walls of  Target Gallery are used as a backdrop to represent urban communities. Steeped in symbolism\, upon entering the gallery\, viewers will observe shoes hanging from a wire anchored in the ceiling. In urban communities\, this symbolizes remembrance; we are honoring and remember community members who are no longer with us. \nThe series includes more than ten (10) works of art encased in vibrant colored up-cycled frames. Dripping paint “le drip” travels from the portrait to the frame and then onto the gallery wall representing the uncontainable and undeniable sauce of the black essence. The ingredients of “the sauce” are rich and include: our combined pain\, triumphs\, joys\, strength\, and swag. \nThis exhibition was created to challenge the viewer to think about the following questions: \n\nWhat do you qualify as art?\nWhat do you view as valuable?\n\nThese questions are explored further in a simple\, black\, and white video created by the artist that features people from her community either boldly making the statement “I Am Art” or expressing why they consider themselves art. She hopes that each viewer will leave with a heightened sense of self-love and a different perspective on what they qualify as art. \n\nAbout the Artist\nBrandy “Blu” Murphy (she/her)\, is a Washington\, D. C. based artist is known for capturing the strength of her subjects through photography and utilizing graffiti\, texture\, and color to tell the story of disenfranchised African-Americans who are often unheard and unseen and showcasing them as works of art. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout the Jurors\n \nMaps Glover is an artist and innovator\, from his installation and performances at some of the nation’s premiere stages including the Kennedy Center. Maps’ illustrations have also graced the covers of magazines like The Fray\, Hello Mr\, and Condé Nast Traveler. His approach to art is unique meditative his practice invites the viewer to reimagine the world around them. \n\nHeather Hakimzadeh is the Curator at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Since her tenure at Virginia MOCA\, she has organized over 50 exhibitions ranging from local to internationally recognized artists. Hakimzadeh’s recent exhibitions include She Says: Women\, Words\, and Power\, Inka Essenhigh: A Fine Line\, and Wayne White: Monitorium. She wrote essays for both Inka Essenhigh’s monograph and the catalogue that accompanied the seminal group exhibition\, Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose. She earned a B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University\, a B.A. in Art History from Old Dominion University\, and an M.A. in Art History from the George Washington University. \n\n \nThomas James is a visual arts curator and arts facilitator based in Maryland. An appreciator and collector of fine arts\, he highlights working artists and facilitates spaces for creatives to refine and develop their craft. Beginning his career in the arts while in college at Frostburg State University\, his first exhibition was at Mountain City Center for the Arts\, where he was interning.

Her work stems from her childhood growing up in southwest Missouri as well as from her struggle with an aggressive auto-immune disease. Her work is an accumulation of her experiences; from her childhood\, from her struggle with an aggressive autoimmune disease\, all of the things that have made her who she is. Based on the destroying and scarring found throughout her lungs and body from her struggle with her autoimmune disease\, the coral is a reflection of the beauty that can be seen through decay. The wide range of color throughout the coral on her work is meant to reflect the passage of time through the “bleaching” effect it creates. Gold accents throughout the work is meant to draw attention to the beauty in the human body over time and the beauty through brokenness that can occur throughout life.  \n \nNew Project Studio (Studio 9)\nMini Forklift Hydraulics with Alexandria Archaeology Museum\nHarness the power of hydraulics!
