The Callahan Center Gallery at St. Francis College will feature a new body of work from Jeannine Bardo during the month of November, curated by artist John Ros.

Jeannine Bardo states in her artist statement, “My landscape is nearing extinction, as am I, as are we.” The work that makes up the exhibition, Solastalgia, directly relates to this phase. The term solastalgia, coined by philosopher Glenn Albrecht in 2003, is the psychic or existential distress caused by environmental change.

A recent Yale/GMU study states that, “[e]ven though ‘two in three Americans are either moderately or very interested in global warming,’ public opinion research finds that 70 percent of Americans ‘rarely or never discuss global warming with family or friends.’”

Solastalgia is Bardo’s attempt to bring that conversation to the fore. Throughout her life she has planted herself firmly into the ground as an artist, community activist and educator, yet her works speak to an interest in that movement which surrounds us and shapes us. Bardo cultivates her persistent energies of constant motion onto the page. It is with this energy that she also presses on us — an affront in gesture and meaning so that we too may experience a sense of solastalgia.

The exhibition is on view from 04-29 November 2016. Join us for a reception for the artist on Saturday, 12 November 2016 from 4-6pm. The gallery is located at 180 Remsen Street, Brooklyn Heights, New York, 11201 and will be open to the public during school hours.

SRO GALLERY opens its 2016 Fall season with There Is Absolutely No Inevitability As Long As There Is A Willingness To Contemplate What Is Happening, a group exhibition featuring the work of Jo Baer, Don DeMauro, and MaryKate Maher. Taking its title from the 1967 Marshall McLuhan text about technology, The Medium is the Massage, this exhibit looks to the foundational elements from within the studio and how each artist extracts from the interior space to facilitate the process of thought and consideration of a broader nature.

The exhibit, curated by John Ros, will feature a combination of sculpture and two-dimensional work from DeMauro and Maher, as well as working drawings for Baer’s canvas, Altar of the Egos (Through a Glass Darkly), 2004. SRO GALLERY will also have available for view Jo Baer: In the Giclée-ed Land of the Giants, a giclée edition of 6 prints and 1 title page, with text by John Ros, which debuted at the Frieze Art Fair in New York this past May.

Our bodies. Individual. En masse. Deciders and followers. Corps-état at center and surrounded – These are our movements and moments: past, future, and present.

Body Politic looks at the figure as inherently political. Our bodies are equal rights, incarceration, inequality, abortion, rape, human trafficking, torture, war — the list is endless. As we move throughout our day, many actions become automatic. Technology pushes and tugs us into one direction or the next: we are subject to a constant deluge of information and access by others, finding comfort in the actions of the “like-minded”.

With the invisible motion of the technological energy around us all, our bodies, minds and souls are also in constant movement. Because of this we seek camaraderie as a sense of pause. However, the more we are surrounded by the “like-minded”, the more divisive we can become. Rather than focus on our similarities, how much more interesting to negotiate our differences? How can we aim for a space that promotes a truly free and open society?

Body Politic, curated by John Ros, features the work of Nina Buxenbaum, Mike Cloud, Loren Nosan, Paulapart, Elinore Schnurr, Zach Seeger, Kathy Stecko and Arielle Stein as a way into these conversations through the practices of these eight artists.
