From the Road, Jennifer Krause, landscape interpretations
opening reception March 2, 7-9pm
“Time has a way of flying by . . . but what can you do?”–Jennifer Krause Chapeau
From the Road is a 10-year survey of landscape paintings by artist Jennifer Krause Chapeau. Each painting depicts a landscape observed from the vantage point of a moving vehicle. The o...bjects of her attention range from the American Southwest to the French countryside. Her paintings are as much about the passing of time as they are about light, and its changing affects, on the terrain.
To walk like a hunter through the woods is not in Krause Chapeau’s temperament. She does not specialize in majestic scenes of nature; she prefers sundry roadside scenes. The land is not wild, idyllic, or hospitable, but fleeting. These vistas are temporary, on the verge of disappearing, as she bounds down the highway.
This series of paintings is based on the artist’s personal snapshots that were found in drawers, folders, and manila envelopes, many of which are 14 years old or more. She relies on spontaneity to choose what subjects to capture. There is not a direct tie to a particular landscape, but intuitive response to what she sees. Krause Chapeau is a roadrunner and her domain is the highway, which may seem odd for a landscape painter.
Like many Americans, her experience of nature tends to be mediated through nostalgia or another source, like photography—not direct experience. As a landscape painter, her challenge is not to endure subzero temperatures and blackfly-infested summers to create a representational scene, but to suggest motion and light: landscape as moving target, all soft focus and subtle blur.
Seeing a landscape in motion was a revelation for her. Speed eliminated detail, reducing entire scenes to color and light. “I think the solitude of driving alone for long periods allows your mind to really wander,” says Krause Chapeau. “The compositions and textures are constantly changing and flowing one into another while driving. It is a fascinating visual experience for me.”
At first glance, Krause Chapeau’s unadorned landscapes can strike the viewer as clear-eyed depictions of nature. A lazy mountain lounges on a desolate patch of land in twilight, as in “New Mexico Plain.” A chorus line of pine trees skinny-dips in autumnal sunlight, as in “Fleeting Fall.” On repeated viewings, her work becomes more complex and engaging, as it hovers between conventional representation and minimalist abstraction. For example, in the paintings “Morning Frost” or “French Plain,” she sees the landscape as a geometric division of space, sensuously worked surface, and luminous color.
Unlike photorealist painters, Krause Chapeau uses photographs as a starting point rather than as a model to be meticulously copied as an end unto itself. She is interested in the process of applying paint to canvas not only as a means of conveying information but also to embody a poetic force.
To view these paintings is to exist in a place between hopeful anticipation and regret. A roadside is not a definite location, but something that is neither here nor there, a thing between destination points. Her photographs of the landscape provide her an outlet to ruminate on memory, place, and time. The blurry images of her paintings are an appropriate metaphor to suggest time and motion, but they also highlight the sensuality of paint.
The artist, starry-eyed and mesmerized, staring through a car window to the frozen fields, and beyond, as the terrain continuously unfolds like a cinema reel.
Jennifer Krause Chapeau (b. 1962) received her B.F.A. from University of Michigan, School of Art and Design, in 1984; and attended the Studio and Stage Design Forum, in New York City, from 1985—1987. Krause Chapeau’s work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States. She is an official member of the United Scenic Artists Local 829, 1987—present. She lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.

The exhibition will be on view at Majestic Theatre Condominiums through May 28, 2012. For further information, please visit us at SilvermanBuilding.com or call number (201) 435-8000.

The collection works by Darin DeField
“Afrocentricity”
140 Newark Avenue Jersey City T 201-536-5557
Reception February 7th 6 to 8pm
During the month of February, America directs its attention to the lives and historical contributions of Americans of African decent. The “Afrocentricity” exhibition at
LITM-Lounge and Gallery Space will showcase the collection of works by Darin DeField
who has established himself as one of the most influential figures of the art and culture scene in Jersey City.
Darin DeField is best known for his mixed media collage art; working with cut paper and mixed media elements that explore race, gender, sexuality, and identity. His most acclaimed works are his “Head Series”. Many of these heads seem to be fixed representations of indigenous tribal masks and many can be interpreted as spiritual leaders, masters and gurus that are derived from African sculpture as archaeological artifacts being recovered.

three local artists, including gallery owner Michelle Vitale Loughlin's large-scale embroidery.
"I shoot sites, mostly in Jersey City and I embroider into them," said Loughlin. "I capture sites of communal or social interest - a lot of times they're not pretty. I call them 'city urban weavings,' because it felt like i was telling a tale."
The exhibit will also feature collages and sculpture by Pat Lay. Loughlin compared Lay's work to woven rugs.
"She looks at digital media as a beautiful aesthetic and makes great collages from it," said Loughlin. "She takes a motherboard, scans the imagery into a computer, they look almost like Aztec weavings."
Jewelry maker Kate Stillings will also show her work at the show, Loughlin said, adding that Woolpunk aims to help craftspeople display their work.
Opening reception jan 26, 2012, 6 to 8 p.m. at Woolpunk Studios, 298 Newark Ave., Jersey City. Wine and cheese will be served. The exhibition will run through Feb. 28. For more information, visit WoolpunkStudios.com.

First Songs of Spring
Breaching Musical Boundaries in Jersey City
January 23, 2012: Ladies On The Mic presents “First Songs of Spring”
on Friday, February 3, 2012 a concert event celebrating the midway
point between winter and spring. The highlights of the event are two
bands that both breach musical genre boundaries by intertwining their
roots in classical music with jazz, rock & pop. Double-Breasted the
trio from New Jersey proclaims their music to be “Couture Rock”. Band
members Kristy Chmura on harp, Ardith Collins on cello and Josh
Bicknell on percussion all share in the songwriting and also share
being lead vocalist. The group met while studying for their Bachelors
of Music degrees at the College of New Jersey. They will be playing
songs from their new CD “Suit Yourself” which comes out February 11,
2012.
The feature band Rose & The Nightingale is a powerhouse quartet of
female virtuosi who each have accomplished solo careers and have
played in famed places such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Radio
City Music Hall and other well known venues across the world. Band
members include cellist, composer and vocalist Jody Redhage who is
equally experienced playing classical, new music, jazz, rock, pop and
improvised music. Jody has premiered over 100 works and has played
with Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding’s Chamber Music Society, Jay-Z,
Beyonce, Meatloaf, The Roots, Clay Aiken and Enya, to name a few. Sara
Caswell originally from Bloomington Indiana began playing violin at
age 5 and is now one of today’s foremost jazz violinists. She has
soloed numerous times with New York Pops Orchestra at Carnegie Hall
and also toured with Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding, violinist Mark
O’Connor and Darol Anger’s Four Generations of Jazz Violin.
Keyboardist and composer Laila Biali has showcased her original music
and arrangements at Carnegie Hall, the North Sea Jazz Festival and The
Cotton Club in Tokyo. Her latest album Tracing Light was JUNO
nominated for 2011 Vocal Jazz Album of the year. Jazz vocalist Leala
Cyr rounds out this amazing quartet with her stunning vocal
improvisation and solid trumpet playing. She has toured
internationally which includes performances playing in legendary
Milton Nascimento’s band, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The View,
Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The David Letterman show.
Beth Achenbach the event organizer says, “Normally one would have to

exciting to have these talented musicians coming to perform for us
on February 3rd at 7pm right here in Jersey City!”

Hob'art has a new gallery!
Liz Cohen, President of hob’art, founded the organization eleven years ago by approaching a number of Hoboken artists to establish a cooperative association. Ms. Cohen lives and works in Hoboken and has curated many exhibits for the association both in Hudson County and other venues.
“Hob’art was founded as a moving art exhibition until a permanent home was established and we are delighted that Monroe Center has worked with us to meet this long awaited goal,” said Ms. Cohen. “With this space we can now reach out to the community to offer discussions, workshops, and forums which is another important aspect of our mission.”
Today, hob’art cooperative gallery has 56 members from Hudson County and other parts of North Jersey. The gallery’s first exhibition will open in February, with the public invited to a grand opening celebration of the only cooperative gallery in Hoboken.
“Hob’art is an organization that is truly dedicated to promoting art in Hoboken not only among other artists, but also in the community at large,” said Mr. Weiss. “This perfectly complements the vision of Monroe Center and we couldn’t be more excited to be the home of their permanent gallery.”

casting call, auditions for the Attic Ensemble, "Crowns"
The Attic Ensemble announces additional auditions for a non-union production of "Crowns" a play with music by Regina Taylor, directed by Judith Moss, on Saturday, January 7th 1 p.m.to 4:00 p.m. at the Attic Ensemble, 83 Wayne St., Jersey City, NJ. Performances are 2/17-26, 2012. Rehearsals will be held in the evening with weekend rehearsals as needed.
The ladies in CROWNS come in all shapes and sizes. A company of three generations of women with "hattitude" will form the ensemble of CROWNS. All actresses must be experienced in harmony and gospel singing and must be able to move well, as there are significant dance passages in the show.
We are casting 3 females:
YOLANDA: 18-20's. (must be able to appear 15-18). Sassy but introverted, Yolanda keeps her feelings inside, except when she raps. Keenly observant, intelligent but reticent, her evolution to fully express herself is at the core of this story. Ultimately, must be charming, winning and exuberant.
VELMA. 30s. (African counter part : Oya - Orisha of storms - purple). Flashy and has a past, Velma now expresses herself in her vivid stories and glittery hats. Knows how to have fun, but is also capable of stormy weather.
MABEL. 50s (African counter part: Shango - Orisha of fire). The most conservative. Married a minister and always did the right thing. Has a genuine insight into human condition, but likes ladies to be ladies. She has a behavior code and believes in it - and you better believe in it too!
There are no appointments necessary; actors will be seen on a first come/first served basis. NO signups after 3:30 pm, please!
Bring pix & résumés, stapled together. Please prepare an a capella gospel selection (traditional or contemporary). Sides will be provided for cold readings at the audition and are posted on our website.
For directions/more detailed character breakdowns: visit our website at www.atticensemble.org or call 201 413-9200.
