CARIBBEAN DOORS by Corrie Scott www.corriescott.net “Many of these wooden houses are now lost to us and so I have tried to preserve them visually so that we may not forget the traditional architecture of our Caribbean.

I love the worn, weathered and much fixed doors, windows and structures.

These photographs were taken in Dominica between 2007 and 2009 while I stayed at a wonderful house called Ramelton in the rainforest.

A stunningly beautiful island.

WE ARE SAD TO SAY BRIDGETOWN GALLERY HAS CLOSED DOWN “Therese Hadchity ran a serious and great looking space. She wrote wisely on art, and in a society where the serious in art is rarely rewarded was a beacon of integrity”.

Alison Chapman-Andrews

Zemicon Closes Zemicon, in the last months Bridgetown Gallery has closed.

After 11 years Therese Hatchity has closed the doors of the only private Art Gallery in Bridgetown.

Its name she formed by combining two words. Zemi , the Amerindian figure representing the god-head, of the ancient Caribbean; with “icon” –now meaning an image of importance., from small altar images or picture of saints in the Western tradition, so Zemi and icon combined in a strong word .

The opening exhibition in October 2000 included most of the artists she would represent.

Artists then producing interesting work in Barbados:, Arthur and Ewan Atkinson, William Cummins, Nick Whittle, Ras Ishi and Ras Akyem , myself, Winston Kellman and Ian Moore,14 in all.

From the start she was selective and opinionated.

Unfortunately David and Indrani Gall left the island as later did Stanley Greaves and HeatherDawn Scott. Frances Griffith died, so the first 14 quickly dwindled. However to make up for these losses others were invited and one-person shows were mounted by Annalee Davis, Heidi Berger, Bill Grace, Eric Belgrave Goldie Speiler and Juliana Inniss Emerging artists were encouraged to show like Alicia Alleyne, Simba Pile, and Tonya Wiles Artists from the Caribbean like Kenwyn Critchlow from Trinidad, Carolyn Sardine from St Vincent, Ossie Hussein and George Simon from Guyana and photographer Albert Chung from Jamaica, had shows. Her very last show was Oliver Benoit from Grenada, showing this Caribbean outreach as important to Therese. Most of these made little money. Indeed most shows didn’t and those that did financed others.

Continued on next page………..

(Zemicon Closes continued) As owner she was entitled to make her own decisions, which she did however unpopular, despite her critics.

As a critic she is perceptive and knowledgeable .She wrote the introductory essay in the National Art Gallery catalogues and curated their annual shows at Zemicon, Queens Park and Bagnall Point Galleries. These entailed choosing work from the National collection in its many aspects, and creating around a unique theme. Two memorable ones were “Art for Export.” and “Words on Painting“ Did I say she is good looking and wise?

Did I say Zemicon Gallery was a beautiful and uncluttered space?

The gallery is closed but we look forward to Therese’s involvement in a different way in the visual art scene.

2010 brings a new adventure for this effervescent artist; Vanita is launching a local product line which will feature her images on stationary, calendars, pens, tshirts, and towels among other things as well as increasing her line of metal work and creating her very first coffee table book, showcasing her work throughout the years.

The line will be called 'Very Vanita' and will be available by summer 2010. The product line will give Vanita an opportunity to re-produce her most popular images in various media whilst freeing her up to take her painting in a new direction, address new subject matter and continue her lifelong experimentation with colour. www.onthewallartgallery.com

MARGARET RODRIGUEZ www.margaretrodriguez.com

“My intention is to show the jeweler’s art in true perspective,where the design and craftsmanship are to be value above material worth of the metal; where the real beauty lies in an aesthetic sensitivitythat is inherent in structures and materials chosen without real regard for monetary value.

For me, it is an attempt to ensure their daring, non-conventional and 'spiritual' character! Brass and Copper are generic materials (base metals), and I have used design techniques to enhance the organic process of patina.As this process evolves, the object becomes more beautiful, naturally” Tiyi by Design Exclusive Hand-Crafted Jewelry

Opening reception of ‘Sisters On The Move’ by artist Maureen St. Clair from Grenada Sunday, May 8th 2011 at 5pm Maureen says: "I believe art has the power to empower and I hope to promote and provoke images of personal and community power through the women I paint."

About The Artist: Maureen St. Clair is a self taught artist who began painting while living and working in Grenada, West Indies. Inspired by the strength, love and natural rhythms of Caribbean people, St. Clair paints pieces of celebration and gratitude. Simple yet vibrant shapes and colors dominate her canvases and bring life to the people dancing, strolling, posing or raising a fist in solidarity across the canvas. Her work has been described as simple yet powerful and courageous in its ability to move and provoke feelings of self and community empowerment.

“For you to die with your ideas is a selfish act and robs the next generation of prosperity.�

http://www.dizzymalliki.info Dizzy Malliki Productions is a video and film production company based in the island of Barbados.

We offer wedding, conference, event, party, sports and art exhibition filming & editing to name a few.

At Dizzy Malliki Productions we are not only about services. We also invest in young upcoming talent who may not be able to pay for a promotional video due to high production costs.

Our Philosphy "We are a new era of thinking and of business. Entrepreneurs are meant to change the lives of others and their communities.

Don't keep your ideas in the mind, but rather execute them.

For you to die with your ideas is a selfish act and robs the next generation of prosperity.

Live, dream, imagine and execute!

If you don't believe me then go to the cemetery and there you will see the greatest visionaries, those who imagined, those who had dreams, those who thought about change.

Do not rob the next generation of what they rightfully deserve, to continue the legacy.

That is the true power of an Entrepreneur, that is the true power of Empowerment, that is Empowerment for Entrepreneurs.

We don't Copy what exist, but begin the nonexistent."
