included in exhibition On May 22nd from 6-9pm, Greenport Harbor Brewery will proudly host an open reception for their latest exhibit: LOTS FOR SALE. This show looks at the relationship all of us have as consumers, with the products we bring into our home and our environment. It looks at how we treat our environment as a commodity without regard to its intrinsic value as unspoiled nature. Roz Dimon paints today’s ‘contemporary landscape as advertisement,’ from “Washington Pig” (a playful satire on the almighty dollar) to “Absolut Death” (vodka like you’ve never experienced it before). Dimon, who loads her brush with everything from pixels to graphite recently sold a piece to the Metropolitan Museum. Janet Culbertson paints a vision of our ruined landscape, a surrealistic view of the destruction we wreak on our environment. Janet has had over 20 one-woman shows and was the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner grant in 2007. She will show a selection of paintings on paper including “Wasteland” and “The Last Oil Spill” In her Real Estate series, Jackie Black appropriates and interacts with images from the glossy East End catalogs which offer every inch of available land as site for trophy homes to the highest bidders. Jackie is the author of the critically acclaimed photo book, Last Meal, published in 2003. There is” lots for sale” in the world. Black, Dimon & Culbertson ask us to look at the true costs and implications of our consumption. The questions are timely, the answers are not easy, but it’s not all doom and gloom. If you look closely you’ll find some humor within the darkness. This show will run through 6/27/10. Greenport Harbor Brewery is the first and only
brewery on the scenic North Fork of Long Island. Its main mission is to
produce fresh, high quality craft beer for those who visit the tasting
room in Greenport and the many establishments across Long Island and New
York City. Tasting Room and Gallery hours Friday-Sunday, 12-6pm 631-477-6681.

St Gallery: Insight: Contemporary
Approaches to Drawing The Ann Street Gallery is pleased to present Insight: Contemporary Approaches to Drawing, a group exhibition that features more than forty selected drawings by contemporary artists grouped together by the medium. The exhibition opens with an artist reception on Saturday July 18 from 6-9 pm and runs through August 29. As an artistic medium, drawing's long history has its beginning in the Paleolithic cave drawings of Lascaux, reaching through antiquity, and triumphed during the Renaissance. While typically, we think of a drawing as two dimensional, many of the artists included in this exhibition have exceeded that boundary. Their work and their messages have literally pressed beyond the confines of the paper surface and seem to project into our space. Their work explores the possibilities of drawing using non-traditional or indirect means, while addressing traditional art-historical subjects as portraiture, narrative, figurative work, interiors and the decorative frieze. By expanding outside the traditional formats, these artists have begun to create innovative styles and techniques, while preserving the formal design elements and prinicples of drawing. The featured artists include: Shaun Acton For more information,
please contact the gallery at (845) 562-6940 x. 119 or (845) 656-1132.
Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday 11-5 pm or by appointment.
