Latin American and Latino Art

Visual art—especially murals and prints—have profoundly informed our understanding of Latin American culture and history. Art has given people if not a weapon, at least a voice in social, political, religious, race, and labor struggles, especially in the twentieth century. With support from collectors and philanthropists, The Allen Memorial Art Museum in Oberlin has amassed an impressive collection of such work, including work of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro, Guillermo Meza, and others. And this year the Allen offers not just a glimpse, but a solid exploration of the style and color that have so influenced the culture and what we know if it. The exhibit is complemented by conversation: talks by visiting artists Alfredo Jaar (March 5) and Edouard Duval-Carrie (April 2), as well as curator Denise Birkhofer (March 10) are noted later in these listings. Latin American and Latino Art is on exhibit through June 28, 2015 at the Allen Memorial Art Museum, 87 North Main Street, Oberlin. Call 440.775.8665, or go to oberlin.edu/amam.

Todd Schroeder: paintings

Thomas Frontini: paintings

Wendy Partridge: books

Contemporary Letterpress printing and the book arts in Northeast Ohio have blossomed thanks to lots of people, including the founders of Artist Books Cleveland. But when it comes to empowering other artists, none has likely done more than Wendy Partridge. Nearly a decade ago, the quiet printer singlehandedly ensured that the heavy letterpress machines would make the move from Zygote’s old location to the current studio. And since then, there and at the Morgan Conservatory, she has taught countless students the basics, from setting type to cleaning up the presses. Meanwhile, she has continued her own poetic practice, making books with movable type, and innovative techniques such as pressure printing. Check out her eloquent collection at Busta’s, and you’ll see that letterpress ink can be ethereal, soft edged, moody, and natural looking. Her work is marked by strong environmental and literary sensibilities, and of course impeccable printing skills. Through December 27 at William Busta Gallery, 2731 Prospect Ave, Cleveland. Call 216.298-9071 or go to williambustagallery.com.

Constructed Identities

Images don’t just report the reality of their subjects, but inevitably editorialize. Even photography, both by technique and by the moments it immortalizes, can’t help but contribute to what we know of people and things The Cleveland Museum of Art delves into that dynamic with this collection of photography that has helped to define the likes of Mick Jagger (through the polaroids by Andy Warhol, Robert F. Kennedy through the eyes of Henri Cartier-Bresson, and more. It’s on view through April 26, 2015 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Blvd., Cleveland.

Garmonbozia

Some words just beg for research. Fans of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks probably won’t have to look up Garmonbozia, but for the rest of you, according to the Twin Peaks Wiki, garmonbozia is negative spiritual energy of pain and suffering, or perhaps created from pain and suffering.  … Physically, it takes the shape of Creamed Corn. For the purposes of CAN, Garmonbozia is an exhibit of works by Diana Hlywiak and Steve Syd. Indeed, the two photographers’ mutual appreciation of the quirky film maker (and of death metal, and photography) is what drew them together. Come for the opening of their exhibit from 5 to 9 pm Friday, and come back for their gallery talk at 1 pm Saturday to ask them about the gigantic, mobile pinhole camera they made out of a box truck. Garmonbozia is on exhibit through February 20 at the Cleveland Print Room, 2550 Superior Ave., Cleveland. Call 216.401.5981, or go to clevelandprintroom.com.

Themes and Variations: Musical Drawings and Prints

Music is the matter at hand in this selection of about 60 drawings and prints from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s permanent collection. The exhibit explores how music and musicians, both sacred and secular, have been portrayed in art of Europe and the US, from the 15th through 20th centuries. It’s a common theme that brings together works of a diverse bunch, including Rembrandt van Rijn, Jean Antoine Watteau, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Wassily Kandinsky, and John Cage. On exhibit through May 17 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Boulevard, Cleveland. Call 216.421.7350, or go to clevelandart.org.

Michael Romanik: Cloisonné’ Jewelry Trunk Show

Creative Workforce Fellow Michael Romanik has been melting glass into intricate shapes defined by silver wire for more than 20 years. Over the years, his cloisonne jewelry has been inspired by everything from Celtic designs to natural forms, and recently by the printed patterns in fabric—which you might say brings full circle his studies of drawing, printmaking, and glass years ago at the Cleveland Institute of Art. The East Clevelander gives a look into a veritable treasure trove of his work just in time for Valentine’s day, this week at Flux Metal Arts. There’s an artist reception from 6 to 9 pm Friday, and the exhibit continues Saturday and Sunday. Bring your sweetie to 8827 Mentor Ave. Suite A, Mentor. Call 440.205.1770 or go to fluxmetalarts.com.
