On several occasions, Lincoln Center Institute partners have studied the work of celebrated visual artist (and LCI teaching artist) Barbara Ellmann. If you ride the J train, you have probably passed her work any number of times, admired it, but not known the installation of faceted-glass, entitled The View From Here at Van Siclen Avenue, was hers. (And now you do, so keep an eye out next time!)
Her latest exhibition is part of a collective endeavor. From January 13 through April 1, 2012, The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey is holding an exhibition called Textility. According to the Center, the exhibit “explores the diversity of textile influence on contemporary art at the moment, asking, ‘How and why are artists doing this, and why now?’ “ Barbara’s encaustic work entitled WHEREWITHAL is on display:
