SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Frank Chang\, 'The Mesh'
DESCRIPTION:From the artist: In the studio\, I take on the perspective of an “archaeologist of the present” in order to reflect on the climate crisis. Otherwise\, the stakes feel too high and making art feels futile and insignificant compared to the magnitude of the problem. I collect fragments of climate news\, bureaucratic documents\, and mass media imagery\, looking for linkages that are unexpectedly resonant. I am searching for things under the surface\, inexplicable connections that are strangely well suited to expressing the feeling of the present\, with all its contradictions\, anxieties\, and possibilities. \nThis exhibition combines new and recent climate-related work. The title is inspired by philosopher Timothy Morton’s metaphor of the mesh. Morton uses the mesh to refer to the ecological interconnectedness of all things\, both living and non-living. The mesh\, according to Morton\, allows us to imagine things normally thought to be contradictory. It is both foreground and background\, hard and delicate. It is both too large and infinitesimally small. The mesh is the perfect metaphor for thinking about climate because “[e]ach point of the mesh is both the centre and edge of a system of points\, so there is no absolute centre or edge.”[1] The mesh also perfectly encapsulates my working process\, in which each fragment leads to another; I see what’s in front of me as both the beginning and end of the process. \nHyperbatteries is a series of sculptures that reconfigure the clean and rational aesthetics of various “green” battery technologies as dense assemblages of entangled materials\, histories\, and ideas. I began with the definition of batteries as connected energies\, then followed threads ranging from the German Romanticism of early battery pioneers to Qing Dynasty symbolism and spirituality. Of course\, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is crucial in helping to mitigate climate change. But batteries are too often depicted as the “solution” to climate change\, with little regard for how they are produced or where their minerals come from. Indeed\, as political scientist Thea Riofrancos points out\, “…the promise of zero emissions sits alongside the reality of fossil fuel extraction and combustion\, renewable energy deployment\, and mining to outfit carbon-free capitalism.”[2] \nOther works in the exhibition employ a variety of archaeologically inspired motifs and techniques\, especially paper squeeze casting. Paper squeeze\, or paper molding\, was an archaeological technique developed by Alfred Maudslay in the late 19th century in which layers of wet paper were pressed onto Mayan monuments to create replicas that could later be cast in plaster. Maudslay used this technique to reach remote sites in Guatemala that would have been inaccessible to teams carrying tons of plaster-casting supplies. Incidentally\, Maudslay began his archaeological work at the same time widespread global temperature recordings began. My paper sculptures are copies of copies\, created by first making a “sacrificial sculpture\,” which is then paper-molded. When completed\, the original is thrown out\, leaving the paper cast as the work. By displaying the cast as the artwork\, I want to highlight its indeterminacy. The sacrificial sculpture can be thought of as both absent and present\, like an impression\, thought\, or memory. The surface of these sculptures is fragile yet resilient and is skin-like\, which reminds me of the solidity and impermanence of ourselves\, our past\, and our imagined futures. \n\nFRANK CHANG (b. 1979\, New York) is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs and re-frames ordinary or familiar visual forms in order to examine the entangled and complex interrelationships between climate\, social\, and cultural issues. Chang’s work spans a variety of mediums\, including works on paper\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance\, but each body of work is based upon a consistent methodology in which recognizable forms — from the vernacular to the historical — act as springboards for deeper investigations into these issues. \nHis work has been exhibited at Gallery Ondo (Seoul\, South Korea)\, Gallery G (Hiroshima\, Japan)\, Wells College (Aurora\, NY)\, Ithaca College\, Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Bushel (Delhi\, NY)\, Dartmouth College\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Museum of Jurassic Technology\, LA Design Center\, Woodbury University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, among others. He has also installed site-specific works on Governors Island\, High Desert Test Sites (Wonder Valley\, CA) and alongside a stream in South Windham\, VT.He was formerly co-director of Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles\, and he was a contributor to the book Dispatches and Directions: On Artist-Run Organizations in Los Angeles and to the journal MATERIAL. He received his BA from Dartmouth College and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Art & Design at Binghamton University. \n[1] Timothy Morton\, The Ecological Thought\, (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, 29.[2] Thea Riofrancos\, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\, (W.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: 'In Between Two Tall Mountains' and 'Breathing In and Out'
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to present In Between Two Tall Mountains by Gabrielle Hall and Breathing In and Out by Brianna Bernas\, concurrent exhibitions by two senior fiber art majors from Buffalo State University that explore concepts of emotional resilience\, adaptability\, and making material the immaterial.  \nThe exhibitions will be on view from April 24 through May 30\, 2026. An artist reception will be held on Saturday\, May 9\, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Both artists will speak briefly about their work starting at 12:00 pm. \nGabrielle Hall’s In Between Two Tall Mountains is a collection of soft sculptures\, weavings\, and collages are an exploration of how fiber can be utilized in ways beyond two-dimensional visuals\, bridging the gap between art and the space it inhabits. Brianna Bernas’ Breathing In and Out is a series of woven and felted pieces that look to the body and nature for symbols of adaptability and strength to challenge notions of emotional resilience and what it means to be “soft” in the face of hardship.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: 'Lucky You: Grief in Practice'
DESCRIPTION:Emily Constantin is a ceramics major at Buffalo State University. She is graduating this spring and will be having an exhibition called “LUCKY YOU: Grief in Practice” on display at Gallery At Seneca (2322 Seneca St. Buffalo\, NY)  May 11th-18th 2026. \nEmily Constantin’s senior exhibition explores the evolving stages of grief through ceramic works rooted in memory\, transformation\, and the quiet resilience of the human experience. \nAbstract: \n“LUCKY YOU: Grief in Practice” is a ceramic-based research and exhibition project that investigates how material process and immersive installation can communicate and support the experience of grief. Recognizing that grief manifests across a wide spectrum-from personal loss to broader forms of instability-this project explores whether an embodied\, spatial art environment can function as a communal framework for reflection and emotional processing. Through the transformation of familiar everyday objects into altered ceramic forms\, the work examines how recognition shifts when translated into clay. \nTechniques such as casting\, distortion\, cracking\, and varied firing processes are used to embed emotional tension directly into the material\, allowing clay to record states of pressure\, collapse\, and reconstruction\, rather than relying on literal representation\, the project centers process as a means of conveying complex psychological experiences. \nThe resulting works will be presented within an immersive installation where spatial arrangement\, lighting\, and scale shape viewer perception and engagement. Audience responses will be gathered through comments to evaluate how effectively the work fosters emotional connection and reflection. By integrating material experimentation with viewer interaction\, “grief in practice” contributes to contemporary ceramics by positioning process as both a conceptual and experiential tool for exploring grief\, resilience\, and shared human experience. \n  \nArtist Statement: \nEmily Constantin is a ceramicist whose work\, influenced by the philosophy of wabi-sabi and the natural world—particularly the forest—uses hand-built forms incorporating rocks\, fossils\, natural textures\, and everyday materials to explore imperfection\, impermanence\, and organic form as reflections of time\, identity\, memory\, and a sense of home\, inviting connection and dialogue between the human experience and the beauty of the natural and imperfect.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Frank Chang\, 'The Mesh'
DESCRIPTION:From the artist: In the studio\, I take on the perspective of an “archaeologist of the present” in order to reflect on the climate crisis. Otherwise\, the stakes feel too high and making art feels futile and insignificant compared to the magnitude of the problem. I collect fragments of climate news\, bureaucratic documents\, and mass media imagery\, looking for linkages that are unexpectedly resonant. I am searching for things under the surface\, inexplicable connections that are strangely well suited to expressing the feeling of the present\, with all its contradictions\, anxieties\, and possibilities. \nThis exhibition combines new and recent climate-related work. The title is inspired by philosopher Timothy Morton’s metaphor of the mesh. Morton uses the mesh to refer to the ecological interconnectedness of all things\, both living and non-living. The mesh\, according to Morton\, allows us to imagine things normally thought to be contradictory. It is both foreground and background\, hard and delicate. It is both too large and infinitesimally small. The mesh is the perfect metaphor for thinking about climate because “[e]ach point of the mesh is both the centre and edge of a system of points\, so there is no absolute centre or edge.”[1] The mesh also perfectly encapsulates my working process\, in which each fragment leads to another; I see what’s in front of me as both the beginning and end of the process. \nHyperbatteries is a series of sculptures that reconfigure the clean and rational aesthetics of various “green” battery technologies as dense assemblages of entangled materials\, histories\, and ideas. I began with the definition of batteries as connected energies\, then followed threads ranging from the German Romanticism of early battery pioneers to Qing Dynasty symbolism and spirituality. Of course\, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is crucial in helping to mitigate climate change. But batteries are too often depicted as the “solution” to climate change\, with little regard for how they are produced or where their minerals come from. Indeed\, as political scientist Thea Riofrancos points out\, “…the promise of zero emissions sits alongside the reality of fossil fuel extraction and combustion\, renewable energy deployment\, and mining to outfit carbon-free capitalism.”[2] \nOther works in the exhibition employ a variety of archaeologically inspired motifs and techniques\, especially paper squeeze casting. Paper squeeze\, or paper molding\, was an archaeological technique developed by Alfred Maudslay in the late 19th century in which layers of wet paper were pressed onto Mayan monuments to create replicas that could later be cast in plaster. Maudslay used this technique to reach remote sites in Guatemala that would have been inaccessible to teams carrying tons of plaster-casting supplies. Incidentally\, Maudslay began his archaeological work at the same time widespread global temperature recordings began. My paper sculptures are copies of copies\, created by first making a “sacrificial sculpture\,” which is then paper-molded. When completed\, the original is thrown out\, leaving the paper cast as the work. By displaying the cast as the artwork\, I want to highlight its indeterminacy. The sacrificial sculpture can be thought of as both absent and present\, like an impression\, thought\, or memory. The surface of these sculptures is fragile yet resilient and is skin-like\, which reminds me of the solidity and impermanence of ourselves\, our past\, and our imagined futures. \n\nFRANK CHANG (b. 1979\, New York) is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs and re-frames ordinary or familiar visual forms in order to examine the entangled and complex interrelationships between climate\, social\, and cultural issues. Chang’s work spans a variety of mediums\, including works on paper\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance\, but each body of work is based upon a consistent methodology in which recognizable forms — from the vernacular to the historical — act as springboards for deeper investigations into these issues. \nHis work has been exhibited at Gallery Ondo (Seoul\, South Korea)\, Gallery G (Hiroshima\, Japan)\, Wells College (Aurora\, NY)\, Ithaca College\, Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Bushel (Delhi\, NY)\, Dartmouth College\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Museum of Jurassic Technology\, LA Design Center\, Woodbury University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, among others. He has also installed site-specific works on Governors Island\, High Desert Test Sites (Wonder Valley\, CA) and alongside a stream in South Windham\, VT.He was formerly co-director of Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles\, and he was a contributor to the book Dispatches and Directions: On Artist-Run Organizations in Los Angeles and to the journal MATERIAL. He received his BA from Dartmouth College and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Art & Design at Binghamton University. \n[1] Timothy Morton\, The Ecological Thought\, (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, 29.[2] Thea Riofrancos\, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\, (W.

DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to present In Between Two Tall Mountains by Gabrielle Hall and Breathing In and Out by Brianna Bernas\, concurrent exhibitions by two senior fiber art majors from Buffalo State University that explore concepts of emotional resilience\, adaptability\, and making material the immaterial.  \nThe exhibitions will be on view from April 24 through May 30\, 2026. An artist reception will be held on Saturday\, May 9\, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Both artists will speak briefly about their work starting at 12:00 pm. \nGabrielle Hall’s In Between Two Tall Mountains is a collection of soft sculptures\, weavings\, and collages are an exploration of how fiber can be utilized in ways beyond two-dimensional visuals\, bridging the gap between art and the space it inhabits. Brianna Bernas’ Breathing In and Out is a series of woven and felted pieces that look to the body and nature for symbols of adaptability and strength to challenge notions of emotional resilience and what it means to be “soft” in the face of hardship.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Art & Architecture On Screen: Turner & Constable
DESCRIPTION:Two of Britain’s greatest painters\, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other\, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition\, in London from November 2025 to April 2026\, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen so that both can be enjoyed together. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side\, as they so often were in life\, on the big screen for the first time. \nTurner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealized depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of “fire and water.” \nMarking 250 years since their births\, this unmissable new cinematic production explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts. This is not to be missed. \nThis production runs approximately one hour\, 30 minutes. \nPart of Arts in the Afternoon\, which is sponsored by Dr. James M. & Marcia Merrins
