Creighton Michael is featured in the four-artist exhibition "Dimensions Variable" at Waterhouse & Dodd, New York. The other artists are Jae Ko, Derrick Velasquez, and Golnar Adili.

From curator Dr. Maxim Weintraub's (Dept. of Art, Hunter College, CUNY) essay that accompanies the exhibition:
"Dimensions Variable brings together four artists who radically reconsider, recast, and re-present the sculptural object. [...] The works assembled in this exhibition push the boundaries of sculpture into new and variable directions, allowing us to appreciate how the sculpted form, and our relationship to it, continues to be nomadic and unsettled."

The exhibit runs from March 28 - April 27, 2012 with an opening reception Wednesday, March 28, from 6 - 8 p.m. Waterhouse & Dodd is located at 104 Greene St. (Bet. Prince and Spring Streets), NY, NY.

Michele Muir's moving black and white photo-essay about Alzheimer's disease, "Every 69 Seconds..." is on exhibit at Brother Chapman Gallery, Iona College Arts Center, 715 North Avenue, New Rochelle, NY from November 1 to December 1, 2011.

There is an opening reception Sunday, November 6, 1 - 3 p.m. There will be a special viewing on Thursday, November 10, at 6:30 p.m. presenting the film "I Remember Better When I Paint" with filmmaker Berna Huebner.

November is National Alzheimer's Awareness Month, and Muir's photographs highlight with great compassion many facets of the lives of those living with the disease. The title of the show refers to the statistic that in the United States every 69 seconds, another person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

In addition to being an exhibiting photographer, Muir is Director of Communications and Public Policy of The Alzheimer's Association, Poughkeepsie, NY.

A obra “Corrugated Fountain”, de James Grashow, na Allan Stone Gallery, em Nova York

James Grashowa escultura de,  Fonte ondulada, estará em exibição de 3 de março a 23 de abril de 2011, na Allan Stone Gallery, 113 East 90^o St., Nova York, NY. Haverá uma recepção de inauguração com a presença da artista no sábado, 12 de março, das 16h às 18h. 

Grashow trabalha com papelão. Isso pode parecer um pouco rígido, até você ver o resultado. A escultura, inspirada na Fonte de Trevi, em Roma, tem um aspecto incrivelmente fluido, repleta de curvas graciosas e criaturas marinhas, com um Poseidon de aparência imponente no centro. O papelão quase não parece monocromático — a tridimensionalidade realça os ricos tons marrons do material. 

A galeria também exibirá trechos de O Bernini de papelão, um documentário sobre James Grashow, dirigido por Olympia Stone. Estará disponível um livro totalmente ilustrado com o seu trabalho.
