THE STORY: Set in a shabby cottage on the coast of Maine, Blood & Oil is the wicked tale of a family's unraveling secrets and the choices that haunt them. Fraternal twins, Allison and Madeline Wickham, reconnect on their birthday -- and the anniversary of their mother's death -- by visiting a local psychic together. Once they arrive at Miss Daja's Sitting Room, however, a young runaway becomes a conduit to a bitter family history the sisters' father kept hidden from them and Miss Daja's own grim secret is unearthed in the process.

Then you, my dear friend, are a damn fool

_gaia gallery presents
"Then you, my dear friend, are a damn fool"
and other illuminated manuscripts by Melissa MacAlpin

April 06 - 27
Artist reception: Saturday, April 14th 6-9pm

_gaia gallery
315 3rd Street
Jersey City, NJ 07302

Throughout history, illuminated manuscripts were a way of reassessing important stories, commemorating words in vibrant colors and gilded gold pages. The end results were unique and beautiful, and made the people reading these stories feel more connected to them. In contemporary popular culture, our stories are culled from movies, television, and the Internet. We supplement our selves by quoting and taking comfort from this new scripture.

By representing ourselves with words from specific eras, we are also commemorating the time and places that we are from. My work collects some of my own most interesting and important words picked up in mass media through my lifetime. In these pieces, words spoken by people such as Rowdy Roddy Piper, Donna Reed, Owen Wilson, Nora Ephron, and Charles Nelson Reilly are commemorated in sparkling glitter and LED lights.

Elements & Emotions


Opening reception:  April 28, 5-8PM
The exhibition "Elements and Emotions", featuring the work of Leslie Rubman, Douglas Smith, and Abby Levine, will open at the HOB'ART CO-OPERATIVE GALLERY, 720 Monroe Street, Hoboken, NJ starting April 28 and continuing until May 20th.  The exhibit will be open to the public from April 28 through May 20, 2012. Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays, 12 to 5PM and by appointment.

Leslie Rubman's work in found and recycled objects speaks to the nostalgia of passing time---each piece carries a history of its own.  Douglas Smith's photographs provide an avenue which may induce or resurrect happiness, sadness, anger or metaphysical thoughts.  Abby Levine's wood wall reliefs appear toy-like, amusing, and non-threatening, but reveal a serious political message.
