Press Release: elke schmoelzer "stonefaces - contemporary witnesses" at art in focus exhibition opening "broken boundaries" jan. 5th in New York City

"stonefaces - contemporary witnesses" elke schmoelzer 2011

Broken Boundaries is a group exhibition project which takes place January 2012 in New York City, featuring the most exciting and talented artists of the contemporary art world. Broken Boundaries is a show unconfined by definitions. This exhibit features exciting, new investigations in contemporary image making as we move into the year of 2012. Broken Boundaries brings together a large group of international artists who utilize the gallery space as a forum to explore the dichotomy between the creative act, and the viewers response to this act. In this multidisciplinary show, each artists unique perspective is explored through a variety of sources; from landscape and the body, to abstraction and emotion.

The exhibit showcases art which both creates and manifests its own personal vision, drawing on a diverse cross-section of cultures and styles to realize a wide range of visual and conceptual ideas. Inviting viewers to a world where  each artists body of work speaks truths about life. Each work creates a visual pause, allowing the audience the time to contemplate their environment. Exploiting the “public space” of the gallery the curators will choreograph a exhibition that blends modes of art, design, architecture, sculpture, installation, and craft.

Each of the participating artists will also appear in the visual anthology; Art In Focus: Modern Masters, as well as other concurrent projects relating to this unique exhibit; including an artists seminar, (where the artists will present a slide show of further works to the public), a documentary featuring interviews with the artists about their works, along with several other Internet projects.
