YOU'RE INVITED TO PARTY AND "STEAL" A PIECE OF OUTSTANDING ARTWORK BY STELLAR ARTISTS FOR A GREAT CAUSE!
Proceeds Benefit Five Points Arts’ exhibition and education programming.
How does it work?
6:00 – The Party begins with Thieves, Artists, and Witnesses enjoying hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and entertainment, and the opportunity to “case” the artwork on display.
7:00 – The Heist begins! The Mastermind takes their pick of the treasure, then the Cat Burglars – dash as a group, each with the goal of snatching their favorite piece of art in just three minutes. The Art Nabbers perform the next caper, followed by the Bandits, then Robbers, Looters, Crooks, Artful Dodgers and the Swindlers scrambling for the remaining works of art.
Master of Ceremonies: Robert Calafiore, Associate Dean – Hartford Art School
50 WORKS OF ART BY 50 OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS WAITING TO BE HEISTED RIGHT OFF THE WALLS!
SVITLO
In collaboration with Mira Matić and Kateryna Snizhko, Looiersgracht 60 is pleased to present the group exhibition, Svitlo. This exhibition brings together the work of 12 artists, including Nettie Edwards (UK), Cristina Fontsare (ES), Liz Harrington (UK), Poppy Lekner (NZ), Ky Lewis (UK), Anna Luk (UK), Sonia Mangiapane (AU/NL), Emilie Poiret-Brown (UK), Megan Ringrose (UK), Erika Gabriela Santos (US), Kateryna Snizhko (UA/NL), and Lauren Spencer (UK).
‘Svitlo’ is the Ukrainian word for 'light' and follows an initial presentation in 2021 titled Struck by Light in which presented artists came together to explore the expansive potential of light as a medium. The titular reference to light is also a nod toward the artists’ collective hope and desire for peace within times of darkness and uncertainty. The exhibition focuses on image-based work as a reflection of how various physical realities can be captured, remembered, and projected in order to imagine greater potential of change.
The works exhibited question the material and representative conditions of 21st-century photography. Employing a variety of mediums and techniques, the artists manipulate imagery, material, and the conceptual underpinnings of photography. This departure from transitional lens-based practices invites analogue and digital methods of image-making such as cyanotype, risograph, and experimental processing to expand the ideas of what the photographic process can be. Considering the semantic root of photography to mean drawing with light, these artists play with light as a tool of graphic expression, capturing the ephemeral, the unseen, and the momentary meeting of light, object, and gesture. The work on view moves beyond the representational aspect of photography and questions the relationship between light and shadow, perception and image, and the multifaceted potentials of reality.
