Co-organizers of Zygote’s We’re Here, We’re Queer, Brittany M. Hudak and Brittany Gorelick, brought together nearly three dozen printmakers from across the country and Canada who self-identify as queer to fill the gallery with work expressing their identity through letterpress printing. The more-than-500-year-old process is deployed to address a range of topics both contemporary and age-old. The show also pays tribute to queer activists/printmakers who set the stage for today’s activism, back in the fraught era of HIV/AIDS and the angry backlash to gay visibility, which is sadly having a resurgence today.

The Smoker’s Etiquette: Social complexities at a designated smoke table

With Cleveland Heights’ Cain Park extending its season into mid-September, a long overdue move, you still have time to catch this group show in its Feinberg Gallery. It explores the connections and friendships forged by a group of people who are seen somewhat as outcasts—smokers—relegated to offsite, outside and out-of-the-way areas to do their dirty deed. In particular, the show, organized by Cleveland Institute of Art student Daly Horton, takes as its subject the regulars in the designated smoking space behind CIA through various mediums. The artists/participants look at the positive social habits that emerge from a habit perceived as bad and what it can teach people about interacting in other spaces.

FEINBERG GALLERY AT CAIN PARK

Keith Haring: Against All Odds

Part of a generation of scrappy artists that emerged from the raw, pre-gentrification New York of the 80s to become major art stars, Keith Haring generated controversy by keeping his art accessible and tied to the street, even as his prices were soaring. He blurred the line between fine art and commercial graphic art with his repeated, cartoon-like figures and symbols, and opened his Pop Shop in New York to sell T-shirts, posters, buttons and other inexpensive items. As part of its major Haring exhibit, featuring 110 of his works, the Akron Art Museum will recreate the shop.

CMA’s first show as owner of the Transformer Station is a time-based installation by groundbreaking Japanese video artist Tabaimo called Blow, which uses both traditional Japanese art forms and digital animation to create a four-channel immersive work that erases the boundaries between reality and fantasy. CMA acquired the 2009 work in 2012. It will also be showing the artist’s 2016 piece, The Obscuring Moon, which springboards off a work by 19^th century master printer Utagawa Hiroshige, transforming it into a whole new thing.

Bey’s dark, foreboding photo series, in which landscapes are barely discernible, suggests what a slave escaping to freedom at night via the Underground Railroad might have experienced. It was one of the standout exhibitions of the initial FRONT International Triennial in 2018 when it was displayed at the Historic St. John Church in Ohio City, supposedly a final stop on the journey north. One of those photos will be the subject of an experimental installation, which will also include contextual writings and music.

Gent is known both as the owner of HEDGE Gallery, representing some of the area’s best artists, and as a painter herself, with an obsession with water—and the recent birth of her son. She combines her two passions in her work, saying, “the water’s movement and energy is every-changing, similar to the cycles and pattern of motherhood; I have attempted to translate these unpredictable, turbulent, joyous and blissful moments with imagery inspired by the temperament of Lake Erie.”

Judy Takács: Mothers, Women, Children, Choices

Judy Takács is one of the area’s fiercest artists, with a figurative style of painting that brings ordinary women of all types—her main interest—to vivid life. She’s explored the roles women have played, been forced to play, or rebelled against throughout history. Now, with Ohio’s big, invasive government looking to exercise increasingly onerous control over women’s bodies and lives, she’s creating Pro-Choice paintings that celebrate the ability of women to decide when and how to become parents.

Bonfoey 130th Anniversary Exhibition

How many galleries have come and gone since Asher Bonfoey founded his framing business on East 9th Street in 1893, serving clients such as John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford? One hates to think! Even if you only date its gallery identity from the 1950s, when it moved into art sales, it’s outlived pretty much everyone. Today at its Playhouse Square location, it also provides services such as appraisal, restoration and shipping. And its current president, Richard Moore, who started working at the gallery in 1955, is the son of George Moore who became Bonfoey’s owner in 1939. There’s a lot of history there, and they’ll be celebrating it today. You don’t have to be a titan of industry to be a patron!

Degas and the Laundress

French impressionist Edward Degas is mostly known to casual art lovers for his paintings of ballerinas, which feel pretty and romantic although their backstory is much darker. But the new show opening at the Cleveland Museum of Art offers a series of his works that openly deals with a much less glamorous population: the laundresses who worked the streets of Paris in the late 19^th century, often supplementing their paltry incomes with prostitution. The show features about 30 such depictions, along with paintings, drawings and prints of laundresses by such Degas contemporaries as Caillebotte, Renoir, Morisot and Toulouse-Lautrec and ephemera showing the interest Parisians in general had with these workaday women.
