Artworks inspire new plays at Playwrights & Artists Festival →

November 14, 2017

This season, KNOW Theatre is staging works from some big-name playwrights, including Tennessee Williams, Sam Shepard and Neil LaBute.

Over the next two weekends, though, the Binghamton venue will host its 14th annual Playwrights and Artists Festival that will feature six new short plays inspired by three artworks chosen by Tim Gleason, KNOW’s artistic director. Also in the mix — as with last year’s performances — will be original music composed for the event. Talkbacks will be held after each performance.

This year’s three artworks are Joseph Q. Daily’s “Maria’s Wish,” a painting that shows a seemingly romantic nighttime of a woman in a white dress staring into a candle flame near an open window; “Out of the Shadows” by local artist Orazio Salati, an impressionistic mixed-media piece featuring a shirtless man and shadow figures boxed in as part of an outdoor dreamscape; and “Disco Shrine” by Gordon Lee, a painting with an odd mix of objects inside of a cubbyhole in a blue-and-purple-tiled wall.

Exhibition shot from “A Cup of Sugar” at Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts

Corning and Binghamton Art Galleries Trade Spaces for First Friday Show

August 31, 2017

A First Friday Art Gallery has taken the theme of borrowing from a neighbor to a new level.

Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts is hosting “A Cup of Sugar” for First Friday at its gallery located at 186 State Street in Binghamton.

The show is a collaboration between Brunelli and the Exhibit A Art Gallery in Corning.

Exhibit A Curator Ann Welles has taken her works and designed a show at Brunelli, and Brunelli has does the same at Exhibit A.

Director John Brunelli says the galleries have been trying to team up for a special project.

Director John Brunelli says, “We always thought it would be a good idea to collaborate. The art world can be a lonely domain, especially in Upstate New York. It’s a competitive domain, so it seems. We wanted to get back to the old fashioned notion of borrowing from your neighbor, so it’s an exchange.

Brunelli and Welles will host a Director’s Talk conversation at each of their galleries in the coming weeks.

The Cup of Sugar show runs through September.

Borrowing from neighbors was once a commonplace practice. It kept us connected and was and part of the web of relations between those who lived in close proximity. Today, online purchases are shipped within hours and information can be discovered without leaving the couch. Our reliance on, and relationships with, those nearby have diminished. Two contemporary galleries located in Upstate NY, separated by 77 miles of Interstate, have developed a neighborly relationship built on sharing ideas, resources and encouragement. Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts in Binghamton, NY and Exhibit A in Corning, NY are collaborating on a tandem exhibition titled, A Cup of Sugar, which opens in August at the two art venues.

Interview with Jessica Fridrich

“My interest in photography intensified with the emergence of digital imaging catalyzed by my first visits to the American West in 1993 and 1995. It is fair to say that I started taking pictures while hiking and ended up hiking to take pictures. Also, since I was a child I was fascinated with astronomy. I always wanted to image deep space objects but such technology was simply unavailable in the socialistic Czechoslovakia. I get easily excited today with what one can achieve with relatively inexpensive equipment.”
