SUMMARY:Alex Callender Exhibit: American Lawn
DESCRIPTION:In American Lawn\, Alex Callender imagines the ubiquitous familiarity of lawn grass as a conflicted terrain that holds ongoing questions of public and private space\, haunted vegetation\, and the legacies of colonialism and settler land management in our current era of climate devastation. \nThrough Callender’s reframing of historical materials in the painted plane\, we encounter fragments of flooding lawns that designate the iconic green turf of private property\, landscapes of leisure\, and idealized pastoral imagery. The monotone palette of industrialized lawn plants like Kentucky Bluegrass are interrupted by both plantation cane grasses (sugar) and wild grasses like Bluestems\, Lovegrass\, Vetiver… grasses that are self-seeding and drought-resistant\, cultivate soil restoration\, brace the flow of waters\, and offer refuge to pollinators and varied wildlife. \nIn these scenes of twilight and geographical uncertainty\, the landscape and the water’s edge merge closer together to reveal a historical Atlantic space — a place that loops. A site to explore American mythologies about land and conquest\, invoking the kinds of manufactured environments that have comfortably maintained and spatially defined structures of racial and ecological supremacy. What plants get caught up in stories of human violence? \nHistorical materials like 18th Century merchant ledgers\, venture tourism steamships\, and the photos and company charters of the Boston Fruit Company (later\, the United Fruit Company)\, speak to us of the economic waterways connecting trade\, banking\, and financial instruments of the American Northeast to other slave societies of the Caribbean and Atlantic world. In this painted world\, spaces across geographical relations are layered\, tethered by shared social and ecological histories\, possibility\, and longing. The settler landscape becomes unsettled\, while figures emerge in the shadow of grasses to confront each other or sometimes hold each other. Often situated close to the foreground\, the lawn becomes a stage or interstitial space\, filled with historical remnants\, overgrowth\, and folds of blue fabric that look sometimes like rolls of colonial indigo textiles and sometimes like blue plastic tarpaulin\, a material that reminds us of both endless development and its aftermath. In these works the lawn delineates a politics of middle distance — both foreground and background\, you stand on it and walk in between it\, only sometimes thinking about the kinds of erasure the space bears witness to. \nLearn more HERE!

SUMMARY:Words That Start Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Words That Start offers a loose and idiosyncratic survey of 17 contemporary artists working with text in painting\, drawing\, and sculpture. The spectra — from literal to abstract\, demanding to dissolving\, traditionally functional to highly formal — unravel into spirals like cursive loops that begin to bump into each other and ultimately raise questions of how meaning is made in the first place\, and how it can be made to fall apart. This exhibition spans Studio Route 29’s Beauty Gallery and ArtYard’s Courtyard Gallery. \nThe exhibition features work by artists Theo Baransky\, Judy Barnett\, Chris Corr-Barberis\, Carlo Daleo\, Kayla Ephros\, Gabriel Garza\, Peter Harris\, Otis Houston Jr.\, Olin Johnson\, Michael Mangino\, Mick McDonough\, Rotimi Osinubi\, Dorian Reid\, Barb Riddle\, Jennifer Chai Shear\, Eric Spencer\, and Marisa Takal. \nStudio Route 29 is located at 62A Trenton Ave. Public gallery hours are Wednesday to Saturday 11 AM to 3 PM or by appointment. \nLearn more HERE!

SUMMARY:Soft as Earth Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:It starts with something as elemental as a lump of clay — rocks\, eroded over eons by water\, wind\, and heat that flow and settle in layers of sediment. \nSoft as Earth features the works of ceramic artists Janny Baek\, Brian Guerin\, and Tom Hubben. As artists\, their work represents different approaches to form — a vessel\, an object of the imagination\, a mountain. They are risk takers\, each pushing the boundaries of what the medium of clay can contain both figuratively and structurally\, asking of it\, and its traditions — how flexible are you\, how can you be expanded\, what can you become? \nBaek\, Guerin\, and Hubben employ hand building as their primary technique\, and their work suggests a direct link between neurons and fingers\, translating and sculpting\, speaking a language of form\, scale\, materiality\, and wonder. These artists have navigated a precarious path through the demands of the material itself — preparing\, stretching\, forming\, carving\, adding and subtracting\, then a slow and careful drying process\, and several firings during which unexpected things can\, and do\, occur. Anarchic\, chaotic\, inspired accidents and wild experimentation tell a story of transformation that has taken a while to arrive here — 29\,000 years\, in fact\, of working with that lump of clay. \nLearn more HERE!

SUMMARY:Live Music in the Tasting Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us at our antique wine bar\, high top table or ‘cozy’ corner for live acoustic music while you sip on some wine. \nOver the winter\, we have live music inside the Tasting Room from 2-5pm. Wine Tasting reservations are available\, as well as first come first serve seating to enjoy wine by the glass or bottle (as space allows). \nJoin us on Sunday\, 3/23\, for Jeff Petescia’s Beneduce Vineyards debut!  \nJeff is a talented solo musician with an impressive setlist of originals alongside some incredible covers. He is 1/3 of Cold Weather Company\, who we look forward to having perform on the outdoor stage on Saturday\, May 10th! \nHere’s a bit about Jeff: \nAs a kid I used to have dreams I could play guitar\, waking up disappointed each time as I realized it wasn’t real. I always loved music growing up\, but it was my first concert that finally pushed me to begin teaching myself guitar in my early teens (along with a bit of jealously seeing YouTubers my age covering my favorite songs). I also realized that time invested into Guitar Hero 3 was much better spent on the real thing. \nThe only guitar in the house at the time was my sister’s right-handed acoustic\, so I began playing everything upside down because for some reason I am left-handed when I play guitar (or hold a hockey stick/golf club). I am right-handed (or footed) with everything else. Rather than flip the strings or eventually purchase a left-handed guitar\, I committed to playing with the strings inverted. \n16 years later\, I’m continuing to do what I love in multiple projects\, the main one being Cold Weather Company. We’re currently finalizing our fifth album. \nI am so excited to share my new solo EP “Far Beneath the Sun” out 1/5/24. You can listen and read more about it on my News page.  \nAll my solo music is available on all streaming platforms under Jeff Petescia. \nYou are welcome to bring in your own prepared outside food and non-alcoholic beverages as well. Outside alcohol is strictly prohibited by NJ law. \nLearn more HERE!
