Wonderfully uncanny\, murmurations are a warp and weft of singularity and collectivity\, each individual bird shaping the flock through a subtle attunement to adjacent birds that creates a synergistic whole. \nThis exhibition features the art of Co11ective\, a group formed in 2020 and made up of eight artists from New Jersey\, New York\, and Aruba who work across a broad range of media and styles including sculpture\, painting\, drawing\, photography\, creative writing\, video\, installation\, and interdisciplinary work. As a group of artists\, we consider what the phenomenon of murmuration can teach us about collaboration: How can we make a body of work that is both greater than the sum of its parts and true to our individual practice? Inspired by the concept of murmuration\, this group exhibition is comprised of individual pieces and collaborative works that come together as a whole.\n \n \n \n \n \n Co11ective Members \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Katrina Bello\nBerendina Buist\nJoseph Castronova\nNova Darkstar \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Frank May\nWes Sherman\nElie Porter Trubert\nKatie Truk \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Murmuration by Co11ective Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist Panel Discussion\nSaturday\, October 253:00-4:30pm \n\n\n\nExhibition walk through and discussion with the Co11ective artists of Murmuration. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Group Critique\nSunday\, November 910:00am-12:00pm \n\nCritique by Co11ective artists of Murmuration.All artists ages 12+ are welcome! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n These events are free and open to the public. \n  URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/murmuration-by-co11ective/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Trubert_Life-Cloud-1939-1974-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250926T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251207T140000 DTSTAMP:20260409T040902 CREATED:20250827T135517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250827T135901Z UID:10000196-1758909600-1765116000@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Gabriella D’Italia: Getting Dressed in the Dark DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: September 26\, 2025 from 6-8pm \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n “I focus on time as a material phenomena in various media\, often drawing inspiration from the natural environment. I use layering\, repetition\, and pattern across textiles\, mixed media on paper and canvas\, video\, and text. New patterns emerge from these processes. It is in these new patterns that I find the truth of all transformation\, a kind of material mantra\, and the possibility of a more human and interconnected understanding.” — Gabriella D’Italia \nGabriella D’Italia (she/her) is an interdisciplinary\, award-winning fine artist\, writer\, and Master Gardener. Her work explores home\, nature\, female identity and the contributions of these environments to our human wisdom and sustenance. She is best known for her highly inquisitive\, pro-craft\, feminist fiber works and multimedia collage. Her work has been exhibited at biennials\, salons\, embassies\, and galleries internationally. Her memoir\, Getting Dressed In The Dark\, An Artist’s Way Home\, is coming from Unsolicited Press\, October 2025. \nGabriella grew up in Morristown\, NJ. After receiving her BA in Philosophy and the History of Science and Mathematics through the Great Books program at St. John’s College\, she moved to Boston and then Maine\, where for two decades she immersed herself in costume design\, quilting\, leadership roles in nationally recognized fine craft organizations\, and teaching courses on creativity. She holds an MFA in Intermedia from the University of Maine\, Orono.

This performance transforms our outdoor grounds into a dynamic studio\, where participants\, adorned in white disposable gowns\, become both canvas and creator. With charcoal as a drawing tool and toilet paper as a sculptural material\, attendees are encouraged to experiment\, collaborate\, and express themselves freely. Watch as rolls of toilet paper take flight\, creating whimsical canopies over a central tent\, or as individual hands sculpt delicate and robust forms from the pulp. The event embraces the beauty of impermanence\, celebrating art that is made in the moment and reshaped by collective energy. \nFree Event \nHosted by Frank May \n \n \n \n \n \n Frank May is the owner and curator of M Galleries and M Galleries PNA (mgalleries.org) in Washington\, NJ.
