Guild Hall invites you into the studios of our closest artist friends and supporters for a weekly art break. Utilizing simple materials found at home, learners of all ages will explore new ways of bringing creativity into their everyday by virtually visiting and creating with an East End artist.
In this episode, join artist Elizabeth Karsch and her family for a workshop on artist release:
“Navigating through life’s challenges can be difficult, especially while we shelter at home, but mark-making offers a simple way to tap into and release some of the feelings we’re experiencing. Making quick pencil lines, painting smooth brush strokes, or smudging charcoal onto paper offers a physical release of our internal chatter and a bit of therapeutic relief. We might “map out” a feeling with compositional arrangements, or paint a certain color to represent someone we long for. There are no mistakes because it’s all about the process, and a funny-looking mark or an unintentional drip of paint will offer a new way to look at the situation. Paint it over, tear it up, or leave it alone to ponder its possibilities…”
Materials List:
paper, cardboard, or other flat surface to paint/draw on
any paint (watercolor, acrylic, old house paint)
colored pencils or crayons
pastels or charcoal (if available)
paintbrush
water
dishtowel or rag

Virtual Art Salon hosted by Casey Dalene, Guild Hall Curatorial Assistant, Registrar and Lewis B Cullman Associate for Museum Education
Featuring:
Claire Watson, Artist
Artist and Water Mill, NY resident, Claire Watson, will join Curatorial Assistant, Casey Dalene, in conversation on Zoom for Guild Hall’s third Virtual Art Salon Series Thursday, May 28th, 4pm.
Claire’s work in the current 82nd Artist Members Exhibition in the Guild Hall Museum was a focus of Casey’s Virtual Gallery tour where she selected 7 works out of 435, to discuss on camera. Casey was drawn to Claire’s work because there is so much to be said.
At first, when you are confronted with one of Claire’s creations, you are struck by the minimal abstract shapes, like that of Ellsworth Kelly; a study of color and positive and negative shapes. But as you approach and explore more closely you become aware of the surface; flesh-like with scratches, scars, and smells of perfume or tobacco. The abstract shapes now representational of a common fashion pattern used in the creation of a leather garment. The minimal works reveal themselves to the viewer, born from a place of violence and life lived. Claire’s process of reconfiguring, reshaping, stitching, and stretching these pieces of used leather renders them accessible. Let’s examine this with Claire and find out how she manipulates her way to the finished product. What can this tell us about ourselves and how we relate to her work?How does this mirror our current challenges? As usual, art will show us the way.

Join Guild Hall Curatorial Assistant, Casey Dalene as she engages with one of our most valuable resources during this time (and at all times): Artists. What better profession to teach us how to be at home, often times solitary, alone with our thoughts, finding ways to express ourselves, and looking towards the future. While we cannot mingle at our usual gatherings; art openings, gallery receptions, artist talks, studio visits etc., let’s continue these conversations virtually as we pose the questions: What does the pandemic art world look like from the artist’s perspective? How is this changing the creative practice? Are there ways artists are finding to help first responders and essential workers through their craft? How are artists continuing to find ways to make a living? What digital resources are out there? How can the general public help support them? What movements will manifest in the post-pandemic art world? Join us as we engage in conversation with artists during this historic time.
In the second iteration of the Guild Hall Virtual Art Salon Series, Guild Hall Curatorial Assistant and Salon Host, Casey Dalene, will be talking with current Artist in Residence at the Elaine de Kooning House in East Hampton, Eric Haze and the Elaine de Kooning House Director of Programming, Katherine McMahon. The talk will begin as we touch base with our friends Eric and Katherine and see how they are managing during this time of instability and isolation. We will then dive into the history of the Elaine de Kooning House, the venerable residency program, Eric’s personal history with Elaine that sewed creative seeds in his youth and now emerges in his current body of work. Everyone who joins us during this Virtual Art Salon will have an opportunity to ask questions and engage in conversation with attendees, continuing our connection with one another on a topic that has always brought us firmly together: Art.

“Studio visits are the best part of my job but unfortunately often get pushed and put off because of time constraints. This is the perfect time to launch this virtual studio visit program so that we can connect with one another and be ready to share actual work once the stay-at-home ban is lifted. It is always exciting to see work in progress or transitions in an artist’s work. I welcome the dialogue with the wonderful artists that have been so supportive of Guild Hall.” – Christina Mossaides Strassfield
