Scènes à Faire is the culminating exhibition of the Art & Law Residency Program’s third year. Programming features works by the 2012 Residency artists, curators, and writer made in response to the complex relationship between legal and artistic practices. The diverse projects in Scènes à Faireaddress issues surrounding the law such a power, privilege, intent, loss, liminal boundaries, language, and the truth. 

As legal issues permeate into every aspect of social, political and cultural life, artistic production is no longer immune. The eight-month Art & Law Residency program provides an intellectual and artistic setting for artists, writers, and curators to engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the overlap and disconnect between artistic production and the law from historical, social, ethical and intellectual standpoints. Using law as discourse and medium, Residents gain the experience and knowledge for the artworks inScènes à Faire and work beyond the Program.  

The Art & Law Residency is a program of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts.

Also, for the first time, the Resident artists, curators, and writer will publish a catalogue to highlight their individual practices as well as the relationship they draw between art and the law. Public programming includes the artist conversation Text, Image, Law at Dumbo Arts Center on October 10, an Artist Film screening at Nitehawk Cinema on October 18, and a private screening of a film by James Kientz Wilkins.  

Public programming is organized by curator-in-residence Joanna Montoya and program curator Caryn Coleman.

          APRIL 2012 NEWSLETTER
Art by Sophia Wallace
I’m pleased to invite you to my upcoming exhibition and lecture at PHOTO CENTER NW April 12 & 13. This will be my first show in the verdant city of my youth, Seattle, Washington. I will be exhibiting 3 photographs and a video from the series On Beauty.

The last six months have been transformative. My work was curated in exhibitions in the US and abroad with Catherine Opie, Alex Prager, Erwin Olaf, Bruce Weber and more. While in Europe for the Museum exhibition No Fashion Please! I had the priviledge of being featured on ARTE, a German TV program. No Fashion Please! received extensive press including Italian Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Die Presse and many more. For those who could not make it to Vienna but are interested to see the show, there is a gorgeously printed hardcover exhibition catalog available  on ArtBook and Amazon.

Presently, I am in residence with the ART & LAW Residency Program run by VLA. We meet bi-monthly for critical seminars and will hold an exhibition this fall. Already, the residency is impacting my practice in unexpected and exciting ways. I look forward to sharing more about this experience and especially the new work with you all. 

Thank you for your continued support.

At KUNSTHALLE Wien Museum in Vienna, 19 international artists reject traditional notions of fashion, gender and beauty. ‘From Jeff Bark’s painterly and perverse “Flesh Rainbow” to Sophia Wallace’s portraits of feminized male models, these daring and reckless experiments veer closer to the ceremonies and rituals of body art than to fashion.’ Download complete press here.

First peek, Truer at Clifford Gallery, twenty one works in ‘A Fine Line: Private Lives for Public View’.  I wIsh I could bring all of you here. Truer has existed most vibrantly online, especially in the way it has been seen, shared, re-blogged and commented on, by my Tumblr community. I’m forever grateful to you all for this. To now see the work in it’s entirety, beautiful printed and installed – after so many times being restricted to a single image – is a moving experience for me.   Clifford GalleryColgate UniversityA Fine Line: Private Lives for Public ViewNovember 11 - December 18 Nov. 16th - Artist talk - 4:30, Opening reception - 6pm Participating Artists: Sophia Wallace, Catherine Opie, Jo Ann Santangelo, Jason Hanasik Curated by: Benae Beamon ‘11, Jamie Bergeron and Linn Underhill
