SUMMARY:Multiple Exposures Gallery Presents "Cold Warriors\," a Solo Exhibition of Photography by Tom Sliter
DESCRIPTION:Multiple Exposures Gallery is pleased to present a new exhibition of photography by MEG member artist Tom Sliter.  “Cold Warriors” is a portfolio of images that offers an artist’s view of the aircraft that defined the Cold War.  Rather than focusing on the aircraft’s characteristics\, the exhibit delves into the underlying design elements — the grand sweeps\, smooth lines\, sharp angles\, and graceful curves that are a hallmark of pushing boundaries.  Higher.  Faster.  Farther.

They reviewed applicants’ career highlights and how they have marketed themselves or their work. It was worth a maximum of 25 points. Applicants needed a combined 50 points from Phases I and II to advance.\nPhase III gives the jurors an opportunity to meet and interact with the applicants. This is the first time jurors are seeing the art work in-person to review it for quality. Jurors will consider the applicants’ ability to communicate about their artwork\, with an eye toward their desire to positively engage with the public. It is worth a maximum of 25 points. Presentations will be open to the public.\n\nThis year 50 applications moved forward to Phase III.  Presentations to jurors by applicants is open to the public. \nWednesday June 15\, 7 – 10 PM:  Presentations by 17 applicants.  Each applicant presents for five minutes with ability for jurors to ask questions.  Each applicant shares a presentation via slide show and each artist shares two in-person artworks.

SUMMARY:Workshops on the Waterfront: Fluid Art with Guido Zanni
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. \nJune’s Workshop: Fluid Art with Guido Zanni (Studio 344)\n \nFluid Art (a.k.a.\, pouring acrylics) originated in the 1930s; it’s both a style and technique of painting. Acrylics are mixed with a thinning medium and poured onto a canvas. The flowing paint is then manipulated into the desired design.  Brushes are rarely used; paint is manipulated with forced air\, heat guns\, chains\, strings\, and other non-traditional methods. Fluid art is not a random process; outcome is guided by an understanding of the physics and chemistry of paints including paint density\, viscosity\, reflective properties\, pigmentation\, and texture. Several fluid art techniques will be demonstrated along with an explanation of each technique. \n\nGuido classifies himself as an abstract fluid artist. His training consists of college courses and numerous art workshops. To a large extent\, he is a self-taught artist\, developing his own techniques and style\, working mostly with acrylic paints. He has exhibited in numerous shows and galleries\, and maintains a studio at Torpedo Factory Art Center (Studio 344).

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Julia O'Bryan
DESCRIPTION:Join us online!\nfacebook.com/torpedofactory \nJoin us on Friday\, June 24  at 12pm on Facebook for a live artist talk with 2022 Post-Grad Resident\, Julia O’Bryan\, as her three-month post-grad residency comes to a close. O’Bryan talks with moderator Leslie Mounaime\, curator of exhibitions\, about her experiences during her time in the Post-Grad Studio #319. \nHear her speak about how his residency inspired his work and process. With a BFA in Ceramics from Southwestern University in Georgetown\, TX\, hear about her recent explorations in different techniques and how her work has evolved over time. \nJulia will be working in Studio #319 for the rest of June. \n  \nAbout Julia: \nJulia O’Bryan is a graduate of Southwestern University in Georgetown\, TX. 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

It provides direction for Torpedo Factory Art Center to become a 21st century\, leading arts institution with a broad and deep connection to visitors\, artists\, and Alexandria residents\, built on equity and high performance with a curated building of artists at its heart. \n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to\nThe Factory Society\nThe Factory Society began as a young patrons committee of the Torpedo Factory and was launched as a separate and distinct nonprofit in 2017. Since then we have expanded our mission to include collectors of all ages. \nWe want to open collectors’ eyes to avenues of discovering affordable\, original and local art. We hope this will empower them to feel more confident while buying it\, and break down the barriers that prevent them from engaging with artists at galleries or shows. \nOur vision is a more down to earth art world! \n________________________________________ \nMusic all afternoon by DJ One Luv\n

Having spent over four decades exploring monumental and geological phenomena in a wide range of works from painting to photography to video\, in 2006 she decidedly began devoting herself exclusively to the exploration of environmental issues. Her artworks integrate experiences of on-location explorations\, interactions with scientists in their labs and research data all resolved into captivating climate-conscious works that encourage critical thinking about the role humans are having on the environment. Her most recent museum show\, SEEING CLIMATE CHANGE\, clearly demonstrates this.

SUMMARY:Workshops on the Waterfront: Kamille Simone
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. \nAugust’s Workshop will be provided by Summer 2022 Post Grad Resident Kamille Simone. \nKamille Simone is an interdisciplinary artist from northern Virginia. In her work\, cosmic colors meet checkerboards from a long-gone suburban counterculture and symbols plucked from astrology and spirituality-based imagery. Floating and loosely abstract pictures form from the amalgamation of texts conjured by black conceptual artists\, desert transcendentalists\, and queer media. Through her work\, Kamille builds a queer\, black\, mystical iconography with drawing\, painting\, writing\, and embroidery. She earned an MFA from George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design and a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. She recently shared a visiting artist lecture with the graduate students at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and received the Outstanding MFA Award as a participant in the Next Exhibition. She has exhibited work at The Garden\, Target Gallery\, Anderson Gallery\, Studio 23\, Bronx Art Space\, Gallery 5\, Richmond Library\, and the Refinery Space. Commissions include Justin Allen’s Black Boots’ Ekphrastic Punk EP\, Afropunk\, Elbowroom\, and Gallery 5.

SUMMARY:Multiple Exposures Gallery Presents "Recto / Verso\," a Solo Exhibition by MEG Artist Matt Leedham
DESCRIPTION:Recto / Verso is a story of alternate realities before\, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.  Matt Leedham’s exhibition encompasses two creative mediums – photography and bookbinding.  One represents Leedham’s creative journey before the pandemic\, and one represents his creative journey during the pandemic.  Combined\, they enabled Leedham to express his artistic vision more completely than through the use of either medium separately.
