October 10, 7 – 10 Artist will be in attendance Gretechen Minnhaar, Sunday in the Park, 2009, acrylic, collage on wood, resin, 36 pieces 10" x 8" - 8" x 6"	Block Party at 4141 Evet to Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Gretchen Minnhaar. Celebration on the Grand Gretechen Minnhaar's artistic journey has crossed the boundary between two cultures - that of South America where she spent her childhood in Argentina and that of North America where she spent her professional life in Michigan. While working as an architect, she carried sketchbooks with her as she traveled and recorded the colors and images of unfamiliar places. It was the experience of creating these visual journals that drew her to art as a full time commitment. This decision strengthened her resolve to examine in her painting issue raised by women's movement from both Latin and North American perspectives. The changing roles of women in society and definitions of individual power and entitlement led to a series of works exhibited at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Gretchen's most recent work describes a walking population, moving through public spaces like troupes of dancers uniting and diverging. Her astute sense of color and constantly moving spatial perspective give her work a consistent direction as she moves from one thematic focus to the next.

101 / exhibit 101 NE 40th St. Miami, FL 33137 305 573 2101 EMAIL WEB Tue – Sat: 11 – 7 Opening Reception Sat. October 10, 7 - 10 Jason Shawn Alexander, Insomnia, oil on panel, 48 x 36 in	Until November 14 Jason Shawn Alexander. Insomnious Whether positive or negative, artist Jason Shawn Alexander hopes his abstract figurative works evoke some response. “The one thing I always want in all my work is some form of emotive connection,” the artist says from his studio in Los Angeles. In his first solo show at 101/Exhibit in Miami, titled Insomnious, Alexander presents mostly images stemming from right before sleep or right after waking up, as seen in Insomnia in which two female figures are superimposed on each other. “There’s more of that image making in this show, and from the title of that painting came the show title. It seemed to fit because I don’t sleep well at all,” says Alexander. “It’s the perfect title for a large collection of images that are disjointed and come from a restless mind.” Alexander also incorporates a few collages and letter making in this new grouping. He continues to push himself while at the same time experimenting with different palettes and approaches. Influenced by Irish-born British figurative painter Francis Bacon, Alexander reates abstract human life as much as possible, yet brings it back just enough so it’s recognizable. These are not literal scenes but rather images that convey scenarios that are impossible or undesirable in reality. He’s more comfortable abstracting and going more expressive with male figures while his female forms are more tense.

Her medium is pulp; the vehicle is water-dipping, beating sifting. She has recently completed a year of Hanji history, practice and contemporary research in Korea where as a Fulbright Scholar she learned this ancient art of papermaking. Her book-making, installation performance artwork uses paper that distinctly takes on a life of its own. Native Intelligence presents new artworks that reside primarily in tradition and generational memory made tactile and texture-filled from the outcome of this ancient Hanji practice. Curated by Rosie Gordon -Wallace, Native Intelligence examines Aimee Lee’s journey with paper. Artist Talk: Saturday, October 10, 2 - 4
