The Silence Between — Book Signing by photographer Robert Birnbach

As part of The Cardinal Compass exhibition, BWAC is featuring the photographs of Robert Birnbach. He recently published a book entitled, 'The Silence Between: Photographs of Music in the Moment'  which captures the essence of live music through the art of photography. Birnbach eloquently seizes the ephemeral: the charged silence before a note, the intimate interplay between artist and instrument, and the unguarded expressions of musicians lost in their art.

Works on Paper

For many artists, the freedom and immediacy afforded by working on paper is instrumental to their practices, spawning new techniques and aesthetics, subjects and methods. Works On Paper, a national juried exhibition, encompasses a diverse range of media — from drawing, printmaking, painting, collage, and beyond. Far from being confined to studies and experiments, works on paper represent important modes of art-making in their own right.

Shirley Kaplan

Shirley Kaplan uses color and line to create an arena of figurative interaction. She works intuitively allowing abstract forms of heightened color to appear and build upon one another. Images evolve that depict the activated world and impulse of performance and life. From her early years in Paris to today her paintings are a visual diary of lived experience showing aspects of the worlds of the circus, cabaret, theatre, and festivals. The sidelines of a cabaret hall and the artificial glamor and onstage atmosphere evoke a feeling of a time and place.

Works on Paper

For many, the freedom and immediacy afforded by working on paper is instrumental to their practices, spawning new
techniques and aesthetics, subjects and methods. Works On Paper encompasses a diverse range of media — from
drawing, printmaking, painting, collage, and beyond. Far from being confined to studies and experiments, works on
paper represent important modes of art-making in their own right.
BWAC is seeking artists exploring the creative potential of working on paper. Works On Paper will showcase artists with
an experimental spirit and exploration of the interaction between artist and paper in the process of creating art. No
photography. Original and framed work only.
