The Hope Project by Trummerkind at chashama 159 West 119th Street (facing Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.) September 9th - 30th, 2006 Mon. September 11th, 9am ? 11pm Sat. & Sun.  9am -11pm M-F by appointment Contact: Risa Shoup, 212.391.8151 ext. 26 The Hope Project, located at 159 West 119th Street, is FREE and open to the public.  This event is the public unveiling of five years of work, and will feature an exhibit of temporary tape drawings blanketing the walls and glass storefront, as well as presentations by the artists.   Trummerkind is a collective of artist-citizens based in Providence, Rhode Island dedicated to drawing on buildings with tape, and creating large, temporary art pieces and public collaborations. With a foundation of seventeen years of drawing with tape in schools, museums, and hospitals, the artists drew the 490 firemen and airline passengers who passed away in the collapse of the World Trade Center as life-sized silhouettes on the buildings of Manhattan. The individual tape drawings connect to map out four heart-shaped paths that span the island of Manhattan, (beginning at Fulton Street and weaving north into Harlem). The artists have made this unfunded project universally accessible through their website - tapeart.com/hope. The website presents an assemblage of the 15,000 photographs and supporting narratives documenting the creation of the drawings and their surroundings, and also features 490 podcasts, 1,500 pages viewable on mobile phones, and Google Earth co-ordinates for each drawing. The Hope Project took over 30,000 volunteer hours to complete, and is an act of pilgrimage and contemplation in honor of those who perished on the Eleventh of September in New York City.    "Trummerkind has accomplished one of the most visionary, inspiring and cathartic public art projects.  Having donated thousands of hours, this extraordinary artistic effort is a most precious gift of love honoring everyone involved in the catastrophic events of 9/11." - Jerry Beck, Artistic Director of the Revolving Museum, Lowell, MA    Schools and community groups are encouraged to call in advance to book weekday visits.  For more information visit chashama.org or tapeart.com/hope.

SUGGESTIVISM AND COLOR an exhibition of plastic arts by George Nobl and Teresa Grau chashama Gallery, 112 West 44th St. (bet 6th Ave & Broadway) (this venue is handicap accessible) September 5 - 28, 2006 Opening Reception on September 7, 5-8p Gallery hours: 11a to 6p, Tues - Sat. George Nobl follows the principles of Suggestivism, a movement that has anonymously motivated art while it lurked at its core. Suggestivism, embracing many meanings, rather than trying to depict an "exact reality" based on the prevalent cultural symbols, has been the skeleton of the arts. The endoskeleton is becoming an exoskeleton! -An obvious recent example of Suggestivism are the Beatle's songs, whose meaning is still debated after many years.   George Nobl, whose career spans Ibiza and Madrid in Spain, Amsterdam in Holland, Soest in Germany and New York City, will be working on his sculpture in the window, trying to relate the public to the process of sculpture.   Teresa Grau has a distinguished career in Peru and will be bringing the vibrant coloring of South America that visitors bring back, and that lives on in their memories for years.

between black & white colors by Numyi Lee chashama Gallery, 217 E.42nd St. (bet. 2nd & 3rd Aves) (this venue is handicap accessible) September 1 - 29, 2006 Opening Reception: Thursday, September 14, 5-8p www.numyiart.com numyil [at] yahoo.com 718-728-7858
