Genesis, A Two-Part Exhibition at Green Spring Station
Genesis is the inaugural show of a new collaboration between Baltimore Sculptors Incorporated, the James L. Pierce Gallery, and Green Spring Station (Foxleigh Management). This call is open to all sculptors who are, or become, members of Sculptors, Inc. (see “Eligibility” on the linked page). There is no theme and no size restriction. Artists are encouraged to submit outdoor work that will be displayed in open areas throughout this prestigious shopping area. Green Spring Station serves as the north gate to Baltimore’s premier communities.
The exhibition will consist of two parts: the first is an eleven-month
exhibition of larger outdoor works installed either on cement pads or
directly on the ground. The second part of the exhibition will be mounted
within the open interior of the shopping area. The interior offers many
blank brick walls that can accommodate larger single works or multiple
smaller pieces. The works submitted should be child-friendly and touchable.
They must be durable and able to withstand the natural elements. For
full details view the call for entries page.

How Did You Do That?
A Sculptor’s Inc. Exhibition
January 16–Febraury 13, 2010
Opening reception Saturday, January 16, 5-7 pm
Creative Alliance;
3134 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD
The most frequently asked question of any sculptor––how did you do that?––is potentially the most revealing, since the answer necessarily reveals the artist’s relationship to materials, process, and craft. With these questions in mind, CA Artistic Director Jed Dodds juries 5 artists from the current membership of Sculptor’s Inc., founded in 1983 to support area sculptors, and bristling with energy as it enters 2010. A portion of the gallery is set aside for ongoing demonstrations and discussions.
Ralph Baney hews deceptively simple, abstract wooden pieces that reflect the heritage of his native Trinidad; the 80 year old sculptor demonstrates his technique using an electric chainsaw in the gallery. Rachel Rotenberg expands the vocabulary of wood to include laminating, joining and bending along with traditional carving to achieve a more contemporary sensibility. Starting with found objects, Mark Eisendrath manipulates “found” processes - aging, oxidation, and fire among others – to achieve stunning effects. Helen Glazer’s colorful wall sculptures blend modern materials with traditional casting techniques to mimic clouds, flowers and other natural forms. Self-taught machinist-turned-artist Chris Bathgate has won accolades for the neo-futuristic metal sculptures he fabricates with invented and repurposed tools. Jim Paulsen employs allegory with a wink and a nod (hint: he likes hot dogs), drawing upon a grab bag of techniques and materials and typically finishing with a colorful patina to complete the illusion.
