by Lauren Simkin Berke "As a gender non-conforming person, I was foolish thinking I might see a time when my existence itself was not dangerous. Now, more than ever, I am trying to create images for the forces of good, to help in the struggle for human decency."

“Mapping Cartographies” Workshop

On December 13, 2014, we invited our friend and visual artist, Lauren Simkin Berke (http://simkinberke.com/) to teach a workshop, titled “Mapping Carographies” at The Bridge. In this multi-generational class, particpants mapped many different aspects of their lives, including their day, their hopes, their past, their rooms, journeys, their bodies and more.

A sample of some of the creations are below:

Continuing thru Jan 7th:

Lauren Simkin Berke "To be kept" and Bill Leech "That's not happened in years"

Accola Griefen Gallery, 547 W27th St., NYC (Suite #634)

Lauren Simkin Berke’s work is grounded in vernacular photography and Americana. Each composition is loosely based on a found photograph - an intimate possession discarded by its owner. Working in house paint and marker on large canvases and in drawing and in a variety of printmaking processes on small, snapshot-sized blocks, the artist addresses how we document ours lives.

In his large scale paintings and more modestly sized collages Bill Leech combines repeating figures, faces, buildings, flora, fauna, and strings of abstract forms. In many works, the individual elements, either stenciled or collaged, act as symbols or icons that play out an open narrative across a landscape-like tableau. Through thin washes of paint or paper Leech’s subjects emerge, sometimes barely, implying glimpses of larger realities.
