Refugee Kids: One Small School Takes On the World
Friday, April 7, 2017 at 7:00pm in Osher Hall
Hosted by the MECA&D Diversity Committee, this event is free and open to the MECA&D community and general public. Part of First Friday Art Walk activities.
Refugee Kids is a short documentary that follows students at a New York City summer program for children seeking asylum from the world's most volatile conflicts. The film presents an intimate, emotionally gripping account of the students' stories of escaping war and conflict and resettling in America, chronicling their triumphs and setbacks as their lives unfold over the course of one formative summer. Refugee Kids humanizes complex geopolitics and depict the challenges and urgency of immigration to American in an increasingly dangerous and interconnected world.
Reza Jalali and Ekhlas Ahmed will lead a discussion about the film immediately following the 46-minute film.

Reza Jalali, recognized as one of the eminent ethnic Americans in Making it in America: a sourcebook on eminent ethnic Americans (©2001by Elliott Robert Barkan) and named as one of Maine’s 50 leaders by Maine Magazine in 2016, is a writer, educator, and human rights activist. As a member of Amnesty International USA Board of Directors, Jalali has led delegations to different refugee camps in Turkey and Bosnia. He has participated in numerous United Nations-sponsored international conferences. In 1992, he visited the White House as part of a national delegation to discuss the plight of Kurdish refugees fleeing Iraq. Reza manages the Office of USM Multicultural Student Affairs and advises Muslim students at Bowdoin College.
Ms. Ekhlas Ahmed, a refugee and a civil rights activist from Darfur, Sudan, fled with her family to Egypt and lived there for two years before being resettled in Portland, Maine in 2005. She has since graduated high school with honors and earned a degree in sociology from University of Southern Maine with hopes of helping resettle refugees. She is the vice President and Co-founder of Darfur Youth of Tomorrow, an organization raising awareness related to the violence and unmet needs in Darfur. Currently Ms. Ahmed is an AmeriCorps member educating, helping to motivate Multilingual & Multicultural students through the Make It Happen Program at the Casco Bay High School.

VRAGE Exhibition
2017-04-26 11:00 - 2017-04-28 20:00
VRAGE: The Virtual Reality Art Gallery Experience
On view from April 26, 2017 – April 28, 2017, Closing Event: Fri., April 28, 5:00-8:00pm
Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art & Design
ICA Gallery hours: Wed, 11:00am–5:00pm, Thurs, 11:00am–7:00pm, Friday, 11:00am–5:00pm
The Virtual Reality Art Gallery Experience, or VRAGE, is an exploration of the parallel progression of the worlds of technology and fine art, utilizing virtual reality to add context to the typical gallery experience and to showcase art in creative, immersive ways.
Without the restrictions of real-world environments, VRAGE transcends the idea of what an art gallery is supposed to be. Rather than the gallery existing as a separate entity from the art, VRAGE collectively acts as a piece of art in itself. Through game development and 3D modeling techniques, we have the opportunity to tailor individual galleries to represent the vision of the artists in ways that a traditional gallery room could not accomplish. The optimization of space also plays a key role; VRAGE will contain multiple individual gallery rooms within the confines of an eight foot by eight foot play space.

Maine Startup & Create Week '17
2017-06-19 08:00 - 2017-06-23 17:00
Celebrate entrepreneurship, cultivate creativity, and drive high-impact innovation at Maine Startup & Create Week, June 19-23, 2017.
This Year's Theme: Start stronger. Scale smarter. Solve better.
At Maine College of Art & Design, the art of creative entrepreneurship is one of our core values. We provide each student the necessary professional skills to transform aspirations and values into a creative practice.
Maine Startup & Create Week brings a week of learning, interviews with leaders, hands-on workshops, and social events all focused on creative entrepreneurship and community leadership.
“The speakers, including two startup founders with Maine ties, were picked to help encourage Maine residents who want to develop high-growth, high-impact companies to flourish in a state that is geared toward more traditional small-business models, said event founder Jess Knox, a Portland-based business consultant. Mainers excel at launching small businesses, and hard work, but often lack the opportunity to hear from people ‘who have big aspirations to grow a world-class company,’ Knox said.” — Penelope Overton, Portland Press Herald

Jesse Small
Jesse Small, Aurora Arbor 2016. Stainless Steel throughout. 11’ x 26’ x 4’.
Monday, June 19 at 5:30pm
Jesse is currently an artist in residence at Angels Gate Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. Prior to that he has worked and shown in numerous places, including Vallauris, France, Jingdezhen, China, and Ernabella, Australia. These experiences have led Jesse to combine a unique range of primitive and high tech processes from distant corners of the globe. His work has consistently incorporated local culture and techniques. Present in all his work is questioning selected norms. This is done using great attention to craft in sculptures that elevate simple utilitarian forms, that are themselves utilitarian, or made from found objects. Recently his work with shadows asks the viewer to trade permanence for an object that reveals cycles. In any case, Jesse's range in scale and materials reflect a studio process formed by the moments necessity rather than overarching ideals or dogma.

Nancy Davidson, Curator
A graduate of Bowdoin College and the Maine College of Art & Design, Anne Ireland '94 is a native New Yorker whose ties to Maine began with her father who grew up on the Eastern Promenade, Portland. Today Ireland divides her time between her Maine and Sarasota Florida studios. Ireland has been the recipient of several residency fellowships, in California, Maine and Florida. Her work has been shown in exhibitions throughout New England, most recently at St.Botolph Club, Boston and Greenhut Galleries, Portland. Ireland was profiled in Maine Home and Design in 2013 and has had her work selected for two LLBean catalog covers. She is represented by The Gallery at Somes Sound in Somesville on Mount Desert Island. In her latest work, primarily of Maine where she still lives half the year on her family’s saltwater farm in Bath, Ireland explores nature as a place deep within self. Her palette has shifted, becoming more organic and naturalistic even as her brushwork relaxes, allowing for a hint of abstraction and a greater embrace of intuition. She seeks to create the landscape she wishes to inhabit, moving away from earlier work – horizons pursued, the long view sought – in favor of something more intimate and immediate. Her intention is less to render landscape than open it and invite one to enter it.

Film: The Sacred Place Where Life Begins
2017-07-13 17:30 - 19:00 | Osher Hall, Maine College of Art & Design, 2nd Floor, 522 Congress St., Portland, ME, 04101, United States
Film: The Sacred Place Where Life Begins
Thursday, July 13, 5:30pm
Osher Hall, Second Floor, Porteous
Miho Aida will be screening her film, The Sacred Place Where Life Begins. The film documents women in the American Arctic and their efforts to protect it. Miho is an environmental educator originally from Japan and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to discussing her film, Miho provides opportunities to write letters to elected officials. Both adults and children in the audience are very moved by the experience.
In 2015, Miho biked from DC to Bar Harbor showing the film in campgrounds and libraries. She is now partnering with the Sierra Club and focusing attention on Ohio and Maine to enact change that may help protect this area.
From Miho
Hello, everyone! My name is Miho Aida. My first name Miho means to be a leader who demands for greater democracy for all people and protects culture and environment. My birthdate is the day when US Congress officially recognized as Women’s Equality Day. I aspire to live a life that honors my name and my birthdate. One of the ways that I live up to my name is to create an environmental media culture that gives a voice to women. In particular, I am committed to amplify a voice of women of color through films to counterbalance the lack of their representation in the environmental movement with a hope to provide role models for all girls.
This July, I am coming to Maine to share my award-winning short documentary called The Sacred Place Where Life Begins - Gwich'in Women Speak. In this short film, Arctic indigenous Gwich’in women call for a permanent protection of their sacred land in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from a potential oil development. The development would not only violate the rights of indigenous people but also integrity of humanity, and I feel strongly that I have a personal power and responsibility to stand in unity with the Gwich'in for the future generations.
I will be touring on my bicycle with a hope to help communicate the voice of the Gwich'in women and show how one woman can make a difference to protect our heritage that we all have responsibility to pass on to our future generations. Come see the film and be inspired to take action with us. Join the movement. See you in Maine!

American Genre: Contemporary Painting
Hope Gangloff, After Party, 2015, acrylic and collage on paper
On view from July 20, 2017 – September 15, 2017
Exhibition Reception: Thursday, July 20, 2017, 5:00–8:00pm
The Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art & Design is pleased to announce American Genre: Contemporary Painting curated by artist, writer, and curator Michelle Grabner. Grabner is the Crown Family Professor of Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
American Genre: Contemporary Painting is an exhibition built on a triad of traditional painting genres: still life, landscape, and portraiture. Fifty-two paintings by fifty-two American artists offers a critical balance to the conditions of atemporality, affected responses, and the material turn shaping much of contemporary painting discourse. Alternatively, this exhibition employs historically recognized groupings of subject and forms. Genres incorporate and invoke structures of knowledge by performing classification. Deeply embedded in everyday life, genre is conspicuous and powerful in its ability to chart historical continuity and differences through its organizing forces.

Artists include:
Still Life: Gina Beavers, Dana DeGiulio, Wendy Edwards, Francesca Fuchs, Hope Gangloff, Evan Gruzis, Angelina Gualdoni, Magalie Guerin, Jessica Halonen, Jonn Herschend, Tucker Nichols, Aliza Nisenbaum, Walter Robinson, Roger White, Griff Williams, Kelly S. Williams, Emi Winter, Mathew Zefeldt
Portraiture: Herman Aguirre, Lucas Ajemian, Deborah Brown, Kristin Calabrese, Brian Calvin, Susanna Coffey, Angela Dufresne, Andreas Fischer, Howard Fonda, Richard Hull, José Lerma, Keith Mayerson, Frank J. Stockton, Henry Taylor, Storm Tharp, Kehinde Wiley
Landscape: Dan Attoe, Peter Barrickman, Amy Bennett, Michael Berryhill, Patrick Chamberlain, Ann Craven, Paula Crown, Cynthia Daignault, Rackstraw Downes, Mari Eastman, Shara Hughes, Brad Killam, Eva Lundsager, Tyson Reeder, John Riepenhoff, Claire Sherman, Gail Spaien, Spencer Sweeney, Emily Sundblad
This exhibition will include an exhibition catalog that also functions as a genre reader. The exhibition will close with a one-day symposium hosted by Maine College of Art & Design, and featuring a panel discussion moderated by Barry Schwabsky on September 15, 2017.
For more information or to request an interview, please contact Erin Hutton, Director of Exhibitions and Special Projects, Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art & Design (ICA), 207.699.5025 or ehutton@meca.edu.

'Wreckage Salad' Exhibition
2017-07-22 13:00 - 2017-08-19 16:00 | Ocean House Gallery, 299 Ocean Road, Cape Elizabeth, ME, United States
Adriane Herman, the Chair of the MFA in Studio Art, has an exhibition opening for Wreckage Salad on Saturday, July 22, from 1:00–4:00pm. The exhibition is at the Ocean House Gallery & Frame, located at 299 Ocean Road in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The exhibition is on view until August 19; the visiting hours of the gallery are Wed–Friday, 10:00am–5:00pm; Sat, 10:00am–4:00pm.
Adriane Herman, "Wreckage Salad (Big White Board)," 2016, monotype, 21.5 x 28 inches
Adriane Herman’s series of monotypes entitled Wreckage Salad is collaboratively created, inspired by parti-colored piles of castoff wood, which physically dwarf, and aesthetically vie with, much contemporary art. Each print is a unique impression of an ephemeral arrangement of hand-colored shapes representing material found in the municipal woodpile in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, the artist’s home.
Testaments to tidal cycles of accumulation and release, these intimate yet anonymous heaps of barely controlled chaos materially manifest expansion, destruction, renovation, aspiration, failure, labor, entropy, and the inexorable march from birth to death, with (if we’re lucky) many trips to the dump or curb in between.
Ocean House Gallery owner/framer, Graham Wood has framed Herman’s monotypes using reclaimed maple wood flooring, material that otherwise might have found its way to the same woodpile that inspired Herman’s work.
Herman has exhibited and lectured widely, and has work in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. She is a Professor at Maine College of Art & Design. Her ongoing collaboration called The Freeing Throwers was profiled on NPR.

First Friday Art Walk Reception: Friday August 4, 5-8pm
On View: July 28—August 16, 2017, Monday–Friday, 9am-5pm
Maine College of Art & Design, Zand Head and Friedman Galleries
In 2017, the Justice For Women Lecture (JFW) Series welcomed Zainah Anwar of Malaysia. Ms. Anwar is the director of Musawah, a global movement for equality and justice in the Muslim family and a founding member and former executive director of Sisters in Islam. She is at the forefront of the Islamic feminist movement, which seeks to end the use of Islam to justify discrimination against women.
The portraits and accompanying writings featured in “Life as a Muslim Girl in Maine" were inspired by Ms. Anwar’s meetings with young women at Deering High School and Lewiston High School as part of the JFW program this past March. Students met in small groups with Ms. Anwar and shared their stories and experiences as Muslim women. Learning about Ms. Anwar’s work motivated these young women to participate in the creation of this exhibit.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.

"Life as a Muslim Girl in Maine" is made possible by a grant from the Maine Humanities Council which was matched by Lee International.
The Justice For Women Lecture Series would like to thank Catherine Frost, the photographer, for her beautiful work and her support of JFW and the young women who are featured in this exhibit. We would like to thank our framer, Johanna Moore of Lone Pine Projects, LLC. Additionally, we would like to thank the following organizations and individuals for their generous support: City of Portland, Jenn Carter and Lewiston 21st Century Program, Maine College of Art & Design, and Sarah Shmitt and Portland Public Schools.

She uses materials as wide ranging as textiles, hair, beads, combs, and sound to address issues of nationhood, identity, and racial constructs. She has been a full professor and Chair of the Craft and Material Studies Department at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Richmond, Virginia for over a decade. Formerly she was Baldwin-Bascom Professor of Creative Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and she was awarded their first Mid-Career Distinguished Alumni Award in 2011. She also holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2015 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from her alma mater Amherst College where she received a BA. She has exhibited her work in over 300 museums and galleries in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. She is the recipient of several awards including an Anonymous Was a Woman Award, an Art Prize Grand Jurors co-prize, a Pollock-Krasner Grant, a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship, a Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Fellowship in Italy, a BAU Camargo Fellowship in France, a Red Gate Residency in China, a Civitella Ranieri Residency in Italy, an 1858 Prize for Contemporary Southern Art, a United States Artist Fellowship, and an Art Matters Grant. Her work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Virginia Museum of Fine Art, Musees d'Angers in France among several other institutions.
