In 2018, I had the pleasure of curating Clemente’s first exhibition, “Art That Speaks”.

It was a featured Action of the organized by For Freedoms as a nationwide effort to get people out to vote in the midterms.

Clemente’s exhibition of large charcoal drawings was supported by a Mass Cultural Council] LCC grant, organized by Walk Unafraid and hosted by Fuel Bistro in Great Barrington,Massachusetts.

What a joy to see he’s been awarded an studio residency
I couldn’t be more proud!!!

Clemente is a remarkable artist, collaborator, community activist, builder, father and overall human being. It’s a privilege to have him as a friend.

I have such deep gratitude right now!
We just learned (on our way to Art Basel on Friday) that I've been selected for an Artist’s Resource Trust award for my forthcoming ANTARCTICA TEMPORALIS project! What an honor!
It's an ambitious project designed to creatively engage a million people to take climate action.
This is my biggest project yet.
It's for the planet, y'all!
We can do this! Lezzgo!

Thank you to the A.R.T. Fund committee for this great honor. It's encouraging to be reminded that the time and effort spent on writing grants is worthwhile, and that we mustn't give up hope.

Tonight!

I am crawling on a glacier in a long white gown. It is bone-chilling, cold.
My forearms are numb and my dress is wet from the heat of my body., melting the snow beneath me.
Frigid. Damp. A long, slow crawl.
Behind me, I hear the calving of an ice shelf.
As the glacier melts into the sea and I melt into the glacier, I wonder, how much longer can either of us last?

The Long Slow Crawl: A Prayer for Antarctica
Trance performance by Gabrielle Senza, Neko Harbour, Antarctica, March 18, 2022
Performance still by Erica Simone.

Gabrielle Senza is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is guided by intuition, deep listening and a profound connection with living environments. The process, she states, “aids in guiding my creative journey and making amends with the ineffable past."

Her passion for engaging collaboratively with place, time, humans and nature, has led her to many far-away places and curious situations.

For several decades, she has found herself possessed by an inexplicable spiritual connection to a long, white empire-style muslin gown she had made in 1989. Mysteriously compelled to perform a number of unanticipated meditative acts while wearing the gown — such as sweeping broken egg shells into a pile, performing a walking meditation on Governor’s Island with a chair strapped to her back, floating down a river in Maine, and most recently, crawling on a glacier in Antarctica — she follows the Spirit’s lead in a protracted hypnotic state.

i’m very excited to share my first NFT created in collaboration with photographer Erica Simone.
premiering at Wonder Fair this weekend!

Bidding is now open.

Gabrielle's socially engaged art practice has resulted in a wide range of ongoing creative projects that inspire, empower, and cross-pollinate diverse international audiences. These include The Long Slow Crawl (1989), The Collaborative Scroll (2001), Walk Unafraid (2003), Terra Temporalis (2011), and InVisibility Lab (2017).

Based in the Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts, she exhibits, lectures, and performs internationally. Her work is included in corporate and private collections worldwide, as well as in the public collections of the Whitney Museum and MoMA.

Whoa, how exciting!
🔥 🔥 🔥
I just discovered that a university art museum that owns some of my paintings from the Untitled Dialogues series (early 2000s) is in the process of putting their entire permanent collection of more than 2,500 works online.

What an honor to have one of my pieces chosen for their initial selection of 45 works!

Who would have guessed my work would be keeping company with Roy Lichtenstein, Thomas Hart Benton, Mary Ellen Mark, Ansel Adams, Ando Hiroshige, Rene Magritte, Rockwell Kent, and Kathe Kollwitz?!

🔥 🔥 🔥

The Ohio Wesleyan University permanent collection housed at the Ross Art Museum includes more than 2,500 works that are used in exhibitions, teaching, and research.

PS: This one happens to be one of my favorites! ❤️

'I carry this poem as a superstitious b*tch. Because when I shattered a mirror recently my neighbor told me to wait for the full moon and look at it through a shard of broken mirror in order to liberate myself from seven years of bad luck...'
An excerpt from the poem inscribed on Phebe Macrae Corcoran's 'Heart That Makes a Sucking Motion'.
From Artyard: Artist Phebe Macrae Corcoran's scapulars, blanket, quilt, gloves, and video, on view at ArtYard as part of Invisible, examine states of grief and absence in the wake of the untimely death of a friend and fellow artist.
Invisible is curated by and is on view at through April 10. ArtYard is open to the public from 11 AM to 5 PM Wednesdays through Sundays. Visit artyard.org (link in bio) for more information.

Text from ArtYard:
Haiku-length poems by Vasiliki Katsarou are dispensed from gumball machines. Printed on water-soluble paper, the poems may be treasured and retained or dropped in a water-filled receptacle to disappear. The machines cost 50 cents to operate.

One of my favorite parts of the Invisible Exhibition, and the ArtYard building in general, is the Very Small Gallery!
Featuring the work of Monica Banks (), we certainly had fun walking around the space looking for all the tiny peepholes.
From :
"Monica Banks' 'cakes' are from the artist's Inequality Bakery, a storefront intervention to stop passersby in their tracks by reminding them that the occasions we celebrate, such as birthdays and anniversaries, also call to mind all those who could not attend our parties.
The VSG consists of three miniature installations hidden in the walls of the new building and visible by means of small apertures or peepholes."
Did you find them all on your visit?
