SUMMARY:Coral Gables Museum: Painting with Bronze; The Work of Freda Coffing Tschumy
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 27th from 6 – 8pm experience the Opening of Painting with Bronze; The Work of Freda Coffing Tschumy at the Coral Gables Museum\, Carole A. Fewell Gallery. This exhibition is on view January 27 – April 9\, 2023. \nCurated by Yuni Villalonga\, Director of Curatorial Programs at the Coral Gables Museum. This exhibition gathers a selection of abstract\, experimental work in bronze and other materials by local artist Freda Coffing Tschumy\, from the 1960s to today. \nWith a broad education that includes painting\, drawing\, stone carving\, and bronze casting\, as well as art history\, English\, and religion\, Tschumy has developed a strong teaching career alongside her studio practice. In 1991\, she became the Director of the University of Miami Foundry\, where she co-founded the program Art After Dark and taught Bronze Casting. Also in the 1990s\, she started The Foundry Guild\, along with other artists. In 2004\, she was asked to help create the foundry at ArtSouth in Homestead\, and four years later\, she joined the Foundry at Miami Dade College/Kendall as an adjunct professor. \nSince 1974\, Tschumy has widely exhibited her work nationally. Her public artwork is currently on view at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden and at the University of Miami Metro Station. Her work is collected by the FIU Wolfsonian Museum\, Miami Dade Art in Public Places\, Vassar College\, Count and Countess Fernando Pecci-Blunt\, Taffy Gould and the Canadian Postal Museum. \n  \nImage: View of Freda C. Tschumy’s studio in Coconut Grove\, Photo: Pavel Acosta\nTschumy’s bronze abstract sculpture holds an unusual\, often reverse mirror up to the physical world\, inspired by how energy has sculpted the universe. Her art loosely evokes how forces of nature have transformed our world\, from roots and branches of trees to hidden interiors of sea shells\, from whirling water spouts to jewel-like galaxies visible only through high-powered telescopes” says Elisa Turner in the exhibition catalog.

SUMMARY:Coral Gables Museum: The World is a Handkerchief\, The World in a Handkerchief
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 27th from 6 – 8pm experience the Opening of The World is a Handkerchief\, The World in a Handkerchief at the Coral Gables Museum. This exhibition is the result of the project’s iteration in Miami\, where a group of local artists have been selected and invited to participate in the workshop. The resulting works\, along with the previous handkerchirfs\, will be presented at the Coral Gables Museum from January 27 to February 15\, 2023. Curated by Claudia DeMonte and Cecilia Mandrile; Organized by Yuni Villalonga\, Director of Curatorial Programs\, Coral Gables Museum. \nParticipating Artists:\nLiene Bosque | Ivonne Ferrer | Maria Lino | Shelly McCoy | Adrian Menendez | Aurora Molina\nPatrick Oleson | Fabian Pena | Evelyn Politzer | Zion Rozier | Aida Tejada | Laura Villarreal | Silvia Yapur \nHandkerchiefs have accompanied people in celebrations and farewells in many cultures for centuries\, offered bodily protection and coverage\, and sustained expressions of political tenets and spiritual beliefs. In this project\, handkerchiefs become vessels of memories and itinerant narratives; containers of emotions; translators of wounds\, and signals of ideological resistance. Each piece epitomizes a soft space that holds disappearing recollections of homeland as well as reflections on displacement and identity that can be carried as a tangible memento. In times when touch appears as a dangerous sense\, every single printed handkerchief means a meaningful testament to the continuous nurturing mentorship among artists and educators\, reminding us that soft touch remains both as an intimate and universal element of communication. \nThe World is a Handkerchief is a traveling exhibition rooted in the Spanish saying ‘el mundo es un pañuelo\,’ which translates into English as ‘this is such a small world’. The project traces serendipitous encounters\, moments of discovering personal connections in distant places or unexpected contexts. \nThe project began with the meeting of Claudia DeMonte and Cecilia Mandrile as a mentor and student respectively at the University of Maryland\, United States in 1995 and has expanded through an international collaborative network between mentors\, students\, and peers. To celebrate this constant and sustained creative dialogue\, in 2019 the curators developed a portable exhibition of 50 handkerchiefs that explored the meaning of belonging and interconnectedness that this Spanish saying so tangibly evokes. \nIn the reconstruction of this alternative family made up of artists and collectives from different latitudes and generations during the last two decades\, both printed an edition of 25 handkerchiefs\, and sent a printed handkerchief along with a blank handkerchief to 50 invited artists to intervene with their own reflections on home\, identity\, and belonging. From this exchange a “wandering genealogy” was born\, a tribute to the strong threads that have woven this shared territory as itinerant artists and educators. \nDriven by the collaborative nature of their artistic practice and based on extensive research into the history and tradition of the printed handkerchief\, it is only natural that this family tree expands its branches through traveling graphic editions. The World in a Handkerchief is a new chapter of the project\, a graphic\, soft\, and traveling portfolio curated by guest artists from the core genealogy. Workshops have been held at the Centre for Fine Print Research\, Bristol\, UK; Proyecto’ ace and Zona Imaginaria.
