BARBADOS ARTS EVENTS

April 2016

Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events This is a completely free and unsponsored magazine created out of the need to inform so that we can get to exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and more, rather than hearing about events after they have taken place.

I encourage anyone with a creative event or a new piece of work to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for you.

Let’s get the arts out there!

Please, pass this magazine on to others and so help the creative side of Barbados get all the exposure possible.

Heidi Berger's and Ancel Daniel's "Handmarks/Landmarks" at The Gallery of Caribbean Art March 2016 Online album of exhibition may be viewed here https://goo.gl/photos/s9hb1tvuUWmep37r5 Ancel and I come together in Barbados from different cultures, different backgrounds, different suns. Yet we share a common affinity for the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi, which finds perfection in the imperfect, the fleeting, that which has been marked by weather and time. Wabi Sabi favours natural materials, simple processes....landmarks and handmarks.

Land/marks could refer to the marks the land and its people has left on us and our work....it is the source of our materials and our inspiration. Hand/marks are the mark of the maker which are deliberately obvious in our work. As an unknown someone once said, "Perfection is repeatable, only imperfection is perfect.‘’

“My paintings tell stories of women who have come to Barbados— stories of migration, of leaving home, and finding home.

The paintings and monotypes are made up of fragments— bits and pieces of paper, fabric, letters, words, the detritus that clings to us which are pieces of life— that are reassembled to form something new. Together with the image, they tell a story, or part of a story. “ Heidi Berger

Huddled in a 140 sq foot room, converted to a mini pottery studio my imagination soar above the sealing as I think of the medicine woman and reminded of the poem titled Do Not Stare At Me. “Do not stare at me from your window, lady do not stare and wonder where I came from Born in this city was I, lady, hearing the beetles at six o'clock and the noisy cocks in the morning when your hands rumple the bed sheet and night is locked up the wardrobe.

My hands are full of lines�

Martin Carter

“I have spent the last year immersing myself in the mysteries of monotype...a monotype is a single print made from a copper plate which has been rolled with ink, then wiped to reveal the image.

After the first print, a second, or ghost print may be possible....thereafter the plate is clean. A number of my pieces in the show are monotype/mixed media�

Heidi Berger

"A sculptural examination and record of a Caribbean folk tradition and what role it plays in today’s society. A baton passed on for community self-preservation through homemade healing remedies from one generation to another. The medicine woman is one of my first sculptural pieces from a body of work, a portrait of the Caribbean folk medicine practitioner."

Ancel Daniel

“Its all about the process using clay as a medium. The chalky Mount red clay and its awesome properties, I can manipulate and create narratives of stories told sometime before.�

Ancel Daniel

"The Caribbean culture has been preserved more by the authentic voices of educators such as poets, musicians, writers and artist.

Using clay as a medium I design and create sculptures that are narratives of my Caribbean experience, heritage and it's people. As a child I enjoyed story telling with my late grandmother, who sought to preserve Guyanese folklore under a moon lit night, with the scent of dry leaves and twigs burning in a heap at the end of the week backyard "pointer broom" sweep.

Folklore I have grown to realize is a part of a rich Caribbean cultural heritage. In this image is a clay sculpture piece in progress.“ Ancel Daniel

ARTS DIRECTORY BARBADOS How It Happened I have, for so many years, wanted to create a free online reference book where anyone, in any part of the world, may access the creative people in Barbados. I could not do this on my own and Kathy Yearwood heard of my idea, offered to partner with me and I happily agreed.

What started out in March as a small book of what I thought might be a maximum of one hundred and fifty pages turned into a tome of over three hundred pages. A mixture of excitement and fear at what we had taken on. And here we are in December 2011 with a book showing off the talents in Barbados. So exciting.

The eight month adventure began. Finding artists, photographing them and their work. From March 2011 to October 2011 Kathy and I collated the artwork, the bios and statements and travelled around the island garnering images and information.

Large collections of artwork in homes. Convincing people who thought they were too old and forgotten and watching them smile as their work was photographed and having them talk about themselves so that we could create a bio for them. Literally slipping down the hills of clay at Chalky Mount to see an original kiln and spend the day with the potters.

Temple Yard with the Rastafarian community where they are blessed with talent, especially carving, and then coming away with gifts of pineapples and avocados. Photographing in the rain with an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other to get the right angles. Going to openings and craft shows and talking to many. Coming to my home, going to Kathy’s, and going wherever was needed. Meeting the different personalities in so many locations as I photographed many of them for their portrait photo for the book. Remembering some who have left us. A labour of love, learning and fun.

The thank you part as I could not have done this on my own. Norma Springer who encouraged me to “take the book and run with it”. Kathy Yearwood who offered to partner with me collating and to create the book for artists in Barbados.

Alison Chapman-Andrews for helping Kathy and I proof read. Amazing how much you miss no matter how many times we went over it. Sue Bain for offering her professional opinion and suggestions as a copy editor. Peter Boos for all the encouragement. Laura Lin Hutchinson for her introduction. Finally, the most important people, the creative souls who put their trust in Kathy and I to show them off to their best. I hope we have done this.

SHAWN S FIELDS

https://www.facebook.com/ShawnFieldsPhotography

Shawn Fields I'm a professional photographer living in Barbados. Two of my greatest passions in life are travel and photography after my family of course. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world.

Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and other countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. It has made me better appreciate my own home and culture as well as that of the people I've met and the lands I've seen and I have become a much more tolerant person as a result. Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same. Fashion photography is such a joy for me as it affords me the opportunity to meet more people than I possibly would’ve had I not been a photographer.

Born in London, England and married with two (2) awesome kids I have been interested in photography for as long as I can remember however I never took it seriously. I consider myself new to the field of photography as I have only pursued it professionally for about four (4) years now, but the love for photography was developed from my early school days and then more recently with the assistance of New York Institute of Photography and Joel Brooks.

Though originally trained as a computer programmer, I find myself engulfed in photography in recent times.

I’ve been published in a few reputable magazines both locally and in the United States. Today I license images for all manner of commercial and editorial use. I specialize in fashion photography and have recently joined forces with Shabeau Magazine.

In an effort to cultivate discussions about the arts starting at a young age while engaging with the community, Fresh Milk will implement an outreach programme using the resources available in The Colleen Lewis Reading Room (CLRR). One of the many challenges faced by young creatives is, despite their artistic gifts, they often struggle when it comes to speaking and writing comprehensively about their work. This is a skill that would benefit immensely from reading, whether specifically arts oriented texts or even well written fiction; gaining an appreciation for articulate material is imperative to mastering one’s own practice.

Fresh Milk proposes to be the go-to point for refining these skills, beginning at CSEC level when children are expected to take their research and written abilities to a higher standard, all the way up to providing MA or PhD candidates with a deep pool of knowledge and unique material which they can draw upon. The Fresh Milk team will work with secondary school teachers in this area to construct a programme which will bring the students to Fresh Milk to show them the studio and reading room, letting them know that there is an environment available which can cater to their academic and creative needs.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY POETS www.lxpbarbados.org

MISSION The Mission of the League of Extraordinary Poets (LXP) is threefold; 1. To nurture those involved in the arts, with a special emphasis on poets and spoken word artists; 2. To edutain the public through exposure to our art, and 3. To use the voices of the artists to bring awareness to, and to actively work towards addressing issues of importance in our society.

VISION The LXP was founded on the principle that no art form exists in a vacuum. It is inexplicably tied to society, culture and time in which it is created, and that artists can improve their skills, and inspire one another when they operate in a close knit community of other like-minded artists, committed to positive feedback and professionalism in pursuing their art to its highest and best potential.

The LXP sees spoken word and other forms of poetry and lyrical commentary as art forms which are not only able to express the personal vision, emotions and stories of the individual artist, but also as vehicles to speak to social issues not addressed in other forums and to educate the public in the hopes of bringing positive change to the society in which we live.
