Traverse Part II: The Invitational

Featuring Jess Stambaugh & Invited Guests

Art is evolving faster then ever in this digital era. This month at Atlantic Works Gallery Jess Stambaugh’s show entitled Traverse Part II is unfolding and advancing as fast as light. New thoughts are being executed, more exciting art is being hung, other artists are showing. Don’t blink or else you will miss this moment of creative magnitude. Come to Third Thursday March 20th and live this moment to the fullest.

The pulse of digital culture is surging in a world of instant information and waning attention spans. Through a series of retrospective, witty and satirical collages, found sculpture Jess Stambaugh and her cohorts examine the surreal, often absurd, obsessive nature of connected in the digital age.

Exhibition Dates: March 7-28, 2014
First Fridays Opening Reception: Friday, March 7th, 6-9 PM
Third Thursday Reception: Thursday, March 20th, 6-9 PM

TOTEM Opening Reception

TOTEM: Animal as Symbol

Artwork by Atlantic Works Members & Invited Guests

Join us at Atlantic Works Gallery for the opening reception: Thurs. Jan. 16, 2014, 6-9 PM

Have you ever felt the stirrings of an animal daemon (or soul) within you? Or felt a connection to the natural and animal world which made you feel like you were remembering something ancestral, dream-like, vital, and lost in our contemporary reality of extinction, dwindling resources, and degraded landscapes?

Historically, the TOTEM — or rather the shamanistic spirit it embodies — is an object or symbol representing an animal which served as an emblem of a family, clan, or tribe of people, reminding them of their ancestry, life-force, and mythic past. In this exhibit of installations, paintings, and video, the Atlantic Works Artists explore the idea of the totem, the animal dialog and the ties that bind us to the animal world.

As wild spaces become increasingly distant, and animals increasingly threatened with extinction, the works in this exhibit present a dramatic, revelatory tour of all that is wildly alive, and an invocation of what we are missing.
