Gallery Bienvenu Presents - Artist: Sibylle Peretti "The Unusual Kind"
October 6, 2009 - November 28, 2009

Times: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Gallery Bienvenu, 518 Julia Street
Phone: (504) 525-0518
German-born artist Sibylle Peretti conjures visions of childhood and childhood lost. In Perettis works, children are often grouped in pairs, conversing wordlessly with one another or with birds, water, or flowers, as if immersed in a mystical union with nature. Her ethereal imagery and haunting thematic subtexts captivate the viewers imagination.

Perettis exhibition at Gallery Bienvenu features porcelain sculptures and mixed-media works on panel, which incorporate myriad layers of paper, oil paint, and watercolor on either side of Plexiglas panels. Her unique techniques impart a texture that complements the works conceptual nuance. Collectors and museum curators around the world have responded to Peretti's vision, which hovers between fairy tale, dream, and historic fact.

The current series was inspired by a growing fascination with children raised with little or no exposure to human beings. With their immaculate innocence, such children have intrigued storytellers and researchers for ages from Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, who are said to have been nursed by a wolf to Victor of Aveyron, made famous by Truffault's film, The Wild Child to Genie, a feral child whose discovery made headlines in the 1970s.

These children live in a kind of private, untouchable world, the artist says, in which their honesty and purity opens doors of fantasies and dreams. With Peretti's imagery as a springboard, viewers may project themselves into the children's archaic, pre-verbal world. The works reconnect us to dormant memories or emotions, inducing free associations that encourage the mind to skim and skip where rationality alone could not lead. It is this freeing of the imagination, coupled with the rigors she lavishes on composition and surface, that so eloquently distinguishes her work.

New Orleans Museum of Art Presents - Woodward Exhibition Opening Reception
October 21, 2009 - February 28, 2010

Times: 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: New Orleans Museum of Art, One Collins Diboll Circle, City Park
Phone: (504) 658-4100
Come join us at The Museum of Art Opening Reception for the William Woodward Exhibition. Drawing from the holdings of both institutions, the exhibition features more than 70 paintings, etchings, sculpture and ephemera related to Woodward's life and works. A native of Massachusetts, Woodward came to New Orleans in the 1880s to teach fine arts, mechanical drawing and architectural drawing at Tulane University.

Woodward was involved with every facet of architecture in New Orleans, consulting on the design of Tulane's new building for architecture classes. He also designed and built his own home in Uptown New Orleans. His interest in architecture evolved into a passionate commitment to preservation. The first artist to focus intensely on the Vieux Carré, Woodward documented the Quarter's rich cultural heritage in vignettes of daily life-women at market, street cleaners, deliverymen and milkmaids driving drayage carts and residents engaged in their daily activities.

Woodward's depictions of French Quarter buildings focused public attention on the heedless destruction of historic properties. The exhibition offers an opportunity to view a large selection of Woodward's renderings of the French Quarter and to judge the strength of his artistic contribution.
