 The Crooked Mirror

envoy gallery, 131 Chrystie Street, NYC, Nov. 21, 2007, to Jan. 12, 2008. Opens Nov. 30, 2007
from Artcal.net...
The abstract paintings by Arnold Kemp, Augusto Arbizo’s Rorschach paintings and the distorted photographs by Charles Hovland, provide a non-representational take on the exhibition title, while Carol Cole’s ANI (Anti-Nothingness Image and its reflection) and James J. Williams III’s installation (looking to document, suspend and praise the evils that ooze out of one's pours as well as the passion and roundness of existence), represent the three dimensional part of the exhibition.

What F Word?
03/09/07
Reviewed in New York Times...
‘WHAT F WORD?’ The “F word” in question in this group is feminism, though others come under its purview. The work spans decades, from an apt updating of a Flemish madonna and child by the estimable and too-long-overlooked Anita Steckel, to very recent art by Dana Frankfort, Jane Hammond and Shay Nowick. In a brand-new piece, Elaine Reichek brings Ezra Pound into the picture; Ulrike Muller pays tribute to Mina Loy. Patricia Cronin contributes an image of a tomb sculpture she designed, depicting herself and her lover, the artist Deborah Kass (also in the show) embracing on a bed. The sculpture is installed on a plot the two women own in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, where it is intended to remain forever. Cynthia Broan Gallery, 546 West 29th Street, (212) 760-0809,

F Is for Feminism! And Other Things!
02/28/07
Gillian Reagan in New York Observer...What the F? That’s what Carol Cole Levin asked herself (and you might, too) when she gathered artwork for What F Word?, an exhibition at the Cynthia Broan Gallery in Chelsea. Originally organized for a feminist art project at the College Art Association conference held earlier this month, the estrogen-charged exhibit includes work from 34 female artists dancing around Gloria Steinem’s favorite F-word: feminism. According to Ms. Levin, 63, who spoke to The Observer from her North Carolina home: “You just didn’t say that you were a feminist artist …. These are women’s words that are sometimes ignored.” The photographs, paintings, video installations and mixed medium pieces have serious themes on faith, fascism and floods, but it’s the funny pieces that make the exhibit worth attending. Ms. Levin’s work on “finance” is a breast made out of shredded money that plays “God Bless America” when you press the nipple. Nancy Davidson’s video “Let ’er Buck” documents an elderly woman competing in a rodeo. Suzanne McClelland’s bright pink-and-red painting “Coming to a Head” is an instructional display on how to give a blowjob. So queue Sleater-Kinney and Le Tigre on the iPod and take notes, girls!

 Through the Flower into the Garden
2/5/06
Exhibition opens at Salem College Fine Arts Gallery
Salem College hosts an exhibition of work by Greensboro artist Carol Cole, beginning February 5 at the Salem Fine Arts Center through March 12. Cole has produced a body of work remarkable both for its highly consistent themes and its wide range of material inventiveness. From a series of drawings collectively entitled The Bubble Blower (from 1976 and 1977) to the sculptures that have occupied much of her artistic energy since 1991, Cole’s work has been an investigation of her inner self. Yet, she mines her content so deeply and unflinchingly that it offers a universal message.
“Through the Flower and Into the Garden” is presented in two galleries and pays tribute to two artist/writers, Judy Chicago and Joanne Greenberg.
Salem College

Thinking with Blood opens July 11 at Dorsky Gallery in Long Island City, NY
6/20/04
Opening Reception: Sunday, July 11, 2:00pm – 5:00pm
Exhibition Dates: July 11 - August 30, 2004
Curator: Craig Bunting
Art has a vital place in the healing process. Thinking with Blood encompasses three decades of contemporary art, a testament to rugged individualism and to the South's unfailing sense of survival. It explores issues of identity and the effects of racism, Southern stereotypes and Southern heritage, Southern romanticism and Southern self-destruction. There are themes both secular and religious, and the humor the South has never forgotten.
The exhibition reaffirms the truth of blacks and whites in the South having much more in common than the world usually recalls. There is the shared love of storytelling, of tales populated with sweltering atmosphere and gothic characters, the exaggerated theatrics of cleansing and catharsis, the visceral delight in the shared religious histories and histrionics.

AC (Anatomically Correct) opens May 7 at 473 Broadway, NYC
5/7/04
Exhibition Dates: May 7 - May 29, 2004
The exhibition AC: Anatomically Correct is quite timely. Its intent is to encourage open and frank discussions and a healthier approach to subjects customarily relegated to literal and metaphorical back rooms and awkward "birds and bees" recitations. AC also
addresses vital issues of a phallocentric society, the empowerment of women, and censure of creative thought, segueing to informative discussions of sex education, AIDS, STD, and other critical health issues. These serious subjects are approached both directly and obliquely, in some cases deploying humor to broach the subject and to put the observer in a more receptive frame of mind.

Asheville Art Museum
3/15/2004
Thinking with Blood: Conflict and Culture in the American South opens in Asheville, NC, on March 19 and runs through June 20, 2004.
"This exhibition includes three decades of contemporary work by twelve Southern artists and examines the nature of postmodern existence in the Southeastern United States. As we move into the 21st century, the much vaunted New South may seem to have eclipsed the old cultural identities of Yankee and Southerner. Thinking With Blood, through media as varied as paint, carved wood and beads and objects which range in size from the monumental to the miniature, brings a new eye to bear on the New South. The ugly legacy of racism, poverty and loss are unflinchingly scrutinized, as is the humor, humanity and deep ties to the land that historically characterize Southernness. This is an important exhibition, showcasing not only these resonant themes but also the very wide, vital and exciting range of work being created by Southern artists today."

"Not and exhibition of art for art's sake, this is an exhibition intended to address a wider audience and a more universal concern, the possibility of reclaiming our identity and our traditions, and the love of our homeland, with all of its peculiarities and eccentricities."
