SUMMARY:Sound Art Installation & Artist Talk By Jess Conn-Potegal
DESCRIPTION:Contemplation on Water and Steel \nJess Conn Potegal’s 2023 Contemplations on Water and Steel is a sound-based exploration of Jeffery Rubinoff’s sculptures. In collaboration with JRSP Curator Karun Koernig on bass\, keys and flute\, Conn-Potegal engages with Rubinoff’s work as aural entities in this project: deploying mallets and contact microphones\, he effectively plays the sculptures. The result is an assemblage of sculptural forms transposed into an auditory landscape\, complimented by aural fragments from the natural environment. Sound remains the subject of Contemplations\, but it is also the instrument which enables it. In eliciting sounds from the sculptural forms\, as well as collecting environmental noises from the grounds of the JRSP\, Conn-Potegal explores sound as an organic occurrence – both contrived and natural.

SUMMARY:Sound Art Installation by Daniela O’Fee
DESCRIPTION:Sonic Improvisations On The Sculptures Of Jeffrey RubinoffDaniela O’Fee created her Transmissions series as a direct response to the sculptures of Jeffery Rubinoff. Adopting the perspective of intergalactic researchers in this work\, O’Fee utilizes distance as a critical tool. Created remotely\, these transmissions are the researchers’ attempts to understand Rubinoff’s sculptural forms by activating each structure’s sonic presence – comprised of aural form\, rhythm\, texture\, and tonality. Working in direct response to specific sculptures at the JRSP\, O’Fee utilizes sound as an imaginative tool. Transmissions soundscapes grant each sculpture a distinct\, auditory dimension.

SUMMARY:Salon des Refusés Artist Reception at Artful : The Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In 1863 in Paris\, France\, the jury for the annual Salon rejected two thirds of the painters who had presented work for adjudication into the prestigious Salon. The list of the refused included Gustave Courbet\, Edouard Manet\, Camille Pissarro\, Antoine Chintreuil\, James McNeill Whistler\, and Johan Jongkind. The rejected artists\, their patrons\, and supporters protested until they reached the ears of Emperor Napoleon III. \n“Numerous complaints have come to the Emperor on the subject of the works of art which were refused by the jury of the Exposition. His Majesty\, wishing to let the public judge the legitimacy of these complaints\, has decided that the works of art which were refused should be displayed…” \nThe critical attention legitimized the emerging avant-garde\, and the Impressionists exhibited their work outside of the Salon from 1874 onwards\, and the status of the Paris Salon began its decline. ​ \nWe have some entertaining\, heartless\, and kind rejection letters to accompany this exhibition\, and many of these artists have had defining moments in their careers as a result of their rejections (including the owner of Artful : The Gallery) Join us to celebrate with our rejections at the Salon des Refusés!
