Janet Sobel and Pearl Blauvelt at Andrew Edlin Gallery, NY
Janet Sobel
January 11 – February 22, 2020
Andrew Edlin Gallery presents concurrent solo exhibitions for Janet Sobel (1893-1968) and Pearl Blauvelt (1893-1987), two female self-taught artists born in the same year. Though both women were making art in the 1940s, they came from vastly different backgrounds and achieved art world recognition in the opposite manner. Sobel received critical attention during her lifetime at the epicenter of New York cultural circles, while Blauvelt created in complete anonymity, her drawings only discovered years after her death. Both artists currently have work on view in the recently completed rehanging of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Raw Vision Short Film Competition
Below is Linda Curtin's entry into the 2019 Raw Vision short film competition.
The Magic of Cinema is a participatory documentary between filmmaker Linda Curtin and a number of artists with intellectual disabilities who work in a supported studio setting. As artists, their work seeks to break barriers in society and in the world of art that may exclude or limit the participation of artists who may need additional supports. The project itself is a participatory documentary that aims to explore the medium of cinema. Each participant is invited to respond through their own art form, from painting to sculpture and performance. The result is a six minute meditation on cinema.
