The Hope Project  by Trummerkind at chashama 159 West 119th Street (facing Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.) September 9th - 30th, 2006 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).   Schools and community groups are encouraged to call in advance to book weekday visits.  For more information visit tapeart.com/hope.

Despina Stamos trespass  by Despina Sophia Stamos at chashama 266 West 37th Street (between 7th & 8th Avenues) September 25th - 30th, 2006: Monday 9/25, 2pm Tuesday 9/26, 5pm Wednesday 9/27, 12:30pm Thursday 9/28, 10am Friday 9/29, 7pm Saturday 9/30 @ 3pm and 8pm. Despina Sophia Stamos' performance installation, "trespass", is an experiment in "proxemics" at chashama's 266 west 37th Street Window Space. In this piece, she will explore our subtle and intricate relationship to space, boundaries and borders.   She will be joined by a different guest artist daily including Maria Garvey, Sarah Godbehere, Nequi Gonzalez, Janusz Jaworski, Abigail Levine, Marta Storme Sundberg, and others. "trespass" is provoked by current global border disputes and the study of "proxemics", a term coined by Edward T. Hall in 1966 for the interrelated observations and theories of spacial use. His book, "The Hidden Dimension", brings attention to the cultural meaning of space and its distribution. Stamos uses his concepts as departure points from which to investigate how we experience territory culturally, geographically and physically. http://tmdas.j-3.org

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.
