Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Sauerteig-Pilaar focuses on the female form as her muse\, mostly conjured from self-portraits\, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life\, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. \nSauerteig-Pilaar received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993\, and after living in New York City\, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums that led to the eclectic mixed media paper constructions she is most notably recognized for. Her work has been showcased and celebrated in galleries and museums across the country. She was awarded the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation residency in Jersey City\, NJ in 2022. \nClick Here to Read Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar’s Artist Statement URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/christine-sauerteig-pilaar-to-bare-witness/ 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/2024/03/P-Tina-1-by-Christine-Sauerteig-Pilaar.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240405T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240602T140000 DTSTAMP:20260525T081234 CREATED:20240320T203601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240326T153153Z UID:10000083-1712340000-1717336800@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Lindsay Godin: Futurisms DESCRIPTION:Opening: Friday\, April 5 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  \nLindsay Godin (b.1992) was born in central New Jersey and got her MA & MFA in Studio Arts (emphasis in Photography) at the University of Iowa in 2018.

Regardless of their disabilities\, artists are provided with the tools and materials needed to produce complete pieces of work that are distinctly their own. \nOn a daily basis\, Arts Access fosters an environment of artistic creativity among the participating artists. The program improves the quality of life for the artists and those around them. In addition\, Arts Access programing aids in changing the perception about the capabilities and talents of people with developmental disabilities. \nThe artwork created by the artists in the Arts Access Program clearly demonstrates the creativity\, talent\, and abilities of artists with disabilities. \nArts Access is a nurturing environment for self-expression\, providing opportunities for artists to create\, perform\, exhibit\, and sell their work. The program is a vehicle through which individuals with disabilities can have their ideas\, imagination\, and creativity come to life. \nExhibiting Artists: Cheryl Chapin\, Chet Cheesman\, Michael Cornely\, Philip Fisher\, Karen Frascella\, Bari Kim Goldrosen\, Tammy Heppner\, Misty Hockenbury\, Ellen Kane\, James Lane\, Lee Papierowicz\, Paul Santo\, Nancy Soto\, Isabell Villacis\, Anthony Zaccaria \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 \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 \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 \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n \n Click here to learn more about The Arts Access Program URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/counterpoint/ 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/2023/06/Misty-Hockenbury_My-Color-Wedding.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230930T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231208T170000 DTSTAMP:20260525T081234 CREATED:20230614T144930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240118T170549Z UID:10000022-1696082400-1702054800@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Kendra – A Celebration of Work by Contemporary Indo-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Curated by Shourabh Mukherji\nClick here to read Shourabh Mukherji’s Curator Statement \nOpening: Saturday\, September 30 from 2-5pm\nClick here for Kendra exhibition price list \nExhibiting Artists: Sejal Ashar\, Soumitra Bagchi\, Hema Bharadwaj\, Seema Bhattacharjee\, Ranjita Bhowal\, Minakshi Chaudhary\, Nisha Chowdhary\, Mashiul Chowdhury\, Swagata Chowdhury\, Prapti Das\, Rasheed Gani\, Meeta Garg\, Richa Gupta\, Anuradha Gurumurthy\, Parvathi Kumar\, Aprajita Lal\, Nohi V.

He considers himself a semi-educated artist in that he’s taken classes at places like the Art Students League and the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan but doesn’t have any degrees in art. He does much of his learning through work. To him painting is often an adventure in a search for meaning\, a record of a discourse between what’s going on inside and outside of him. His work often has a gritty feel reflecting an interest in noir and jazz. There are expressionist influences and boundary crossing between the representational and abstract. There is often an exploration of underlying patterns suggested in compositions involving heightened impressions\, atmosphere and mood of the seeming commonplace. Current work can include the additional use of collage materials to his acrylic painting. Lately he has been more intuitive and experimental as a result of the introspection from the current circumstances of his retirement coinciding with the restrictions of the past few years. \nEpstein was selected for a solo show at the Monmouth Museum for their 2014 Emerging Artist Series. He’s been part of dual artist shows at the Hamilton Street Gallery in 2016 (Road Work) and 2019 (Midnight Mercury). While working as an x-ray technician he had paintings on 7 covers of the trade magazine “Radiologic Technology” after being a winner in their cover contest. \nClick here to read Steven Epstein’s Artist Statement\nLearn more about Steven Epstein \n\nGregory Hennen: Where I Wander\n2022 International Juried Exhibition Solo Exhibition Award \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\nGregory Hennen is a landscape painter whose work is inspired by his extensive time spent in nature which included 15 years as the property manager for Manitou Point Nature Preserve in Garrison\, NY. While there he was responsible for designing and maintaining over 4 miles of trails along the Hudson River property. He makes graphite sketches that are often followed by small gouache paintings in preparation for more complex oil paintings created in the studio. \nHe earned his BFA from Eastern Connecticut State University\, Willimantic\, CT. His work has been shown nationally\, including group exhibitions at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, Huntsville Museum of Art\, University of Southern Mississippi and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences.

Ryan\, Sibel Adali\, Linda Tomkow\, Rae Gold\, Nancy Winegard\, Kerstin Katko\,\nRachel Montroy\, Susan Getchell \n“My first exposure to the medium of felt came through Joseph Beuys’ art\, and his many uses of felt (e.g. “Felt Suit\,” “Plight\,” and “Sled”)\, as well as Robert Morris’ industrial felt abstract sculptures. This early exposure\, more than twenty years ago\, helped me see wool\, and other soft materials\, as a medium for rigorous artistic exploration. \nThe submissions for this exhibition presented many wonderful uses of felt. The first time through the entries I looked at everything and then took a long break—returning the next day. At that point\, I selected the work that had stayed with me from the previous day. The next review was more difficult. I had to eliminate several really good works to fit the limited space within the gallery.  At this point in the process\, I asked myself: how does each piece relate to the term “contemporary” in the Center’s name? I considered how the medium and the composition work together to support the artist’s vision; how the objects contribute to the art community at large and to works in other media that are dealing with similar concepts.”\n— Wes Sherman \nClick Here to Read Wes Sherman’s Complete Juror Statement \nWes Sherman has been an artist for nearly 30 years.

I could see the hours of attention\, and felt the love and dedication that went into creating the variety of paintings\, drawings\, sculptures and ceramics. Many of these pieces used vibrant colors and a variety of lines to explore nature\, memories\, folk art\, science\, and religion. \nVarious themes and stories began to unravel each time I viewed the works. I could see the use of layers of multiple colors to create interesting textures and organic shapes and depth. The balance of color and contrast contributed to the captivating mood\, as many of the works were dreamlike and mysterious. In the portraits\, although the expressions in the characters are calm and the images are static\, there is a sense of energy and movement captured in the whimsical and brave figures. With so many great pieces to choose between\, it was tough making this decision.” — M’kina Tapscott \nM’Kina Tapscott has a fifteen year career in education\, access\, curation and advocacy. Beginning with her work as Director of Education and Programs at Project Row Houses\, an art and social service development in Houston\, TX\, and continuing through education and outreach positions at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, and the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft\, Tapscott has championed the primacy of art in building community and advancing social change.  Concurrent with her curatorial and administrative work\, Tapscott has taught art history and studio art at all levels– most recently at the University of Houston and Houston Community College.  A practicing artist\, she holds an MFA from the University of Houston and a BFA from Texas State University.

Architectural spaces and forms inspire Wolf’s artwork. Using these forms as a metaphor for the human experience\, his work explores the dichotomies of protection vs. vulnerability. Material integrity is an essential aspect of Wolf’s artwork. He chooses the materials for each work carefully so that it speaks to the essence of the piece. The artist uses wood\, stone\, metal\, and gold leaf while incorporating technologies such as 3D printing creating contemporary art with an ongoing dialogue with history.  \n \nWolf is represented by Monica King Projects. His exhibitions with Monica King Projects include Spring to Action\, Wish You Were Here\, participating in a designer showcase in the penthouse at 100 Franklin\, and exhibiting online in the Intersect Chicago/SOFA Fair. Wolf recently completed a residency at Mana Contemporary sponsored by the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation\, where his focus was on drawing and works on paper. He received individual fellowship grants from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the NJ State Council of the Arts and received the Power of Art Award\, personally presented to him by Robert Rauschenberg. Wolf’s architectural installation\, Sanctuary\, was the inspiration for an exhibition of the same name at the Orlando Museum of Art. Learn more about Michael Wolf\nClick Here for Michael Wolf Artist Statement and Bio URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/michael-wolf-crossings/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Spring Solo Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Michael-Wolf-detail.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210409 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210606 DTSTAMP:20260525T081234 CREATED:20230418T145125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231222T002724Z UID:10000017-1617926400-1622937599@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Andrew Werth: Organic Abstractions DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: April 9\, 2021 – June 5\, 2021\nVirtual Opening Reception: Friday\, April 9\, 2021 at 6 p.m. via Zoom \n2019 Members’ Juried Solo Exhibition Award \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 \nAfter a first career as a software engineer\, Andrew Werth\, with formal degrees from Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Engineering and Information Networking\, moved to Manhattan where he self-directed an arts education that drew from many of the arts institutions in New York City\, including the School of Visual Arts\, The New School\, and the Art Students League.
