SUMMARY:Third Annual Daniel Manacher Prize for Young Artists - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:September 14 – October 6 \nPlease note the date change! \n3rd Annual Daniel Manacher Prize for Young Artists \nOpening reception 2-4 pm \nWe are very excited to announce the winners of the 2024 Daniel Manacher Prize for Young Artists! This year’s juror was Josephine Halvorson\, an accomplished artist and the Chair of the MFA Program in Painting at Boston University’s College of Fine Art. She has a studio here in Sandisfield. \nImage above\, Daniel Manacher and Shwoopy Loops.  \nThe three winners are: \nAidan White (website https://www.aidan-white.com/) \nMico Aldmar Mendoza \nWarwick Willow (website https://www.warwickwillow.com/about) \nThe show also includes the work of 2023 winner Laina Falcon (website https://www.falconlaina.com/) \nAidan White was born in Princeton\, NJ\, and has lived in the Berkshires since he was eight. He is a painting major at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and expects to finish his BFA in August\, 2024. \nFrom his statement: I enjoy painting portraits of people and their pets using an expressionistic style. I sometimes place objects in the painting representing something of the subject’s life. While I place objects in a painting intentionally\, I leave it to the viewer to make of it what they will. Sometimes\, the allusion is obvious\, and sometimes not. I also enjoy experimenting with surrealistic subjects that are disjointed and dreamlike. I find the images I use as inspiration in literature\, music\, current events\, and nature\, especially human anatomy. \n  \n\n\n\n\nMico Aldmar Mendozawas born in 2000\, and grew up in a small rural town in Central Luzon\, Philippines. I am a computer science major\, and has a background in environmental sustainability and studio art. He plans to pursue an MFA after graduation and wants to explore the possibilities when it comes to upcycling waste\, minimizing material dependence\, and exploring sustainable practices/techniques in art.\nFrom his statement: A lot of my work is centered around sustainability and upcycling waste materials – recontextualizing the materiality and meaning of objects that are in excess\, wasted\, left behind. My three recent sculptures\, for example\, are made purely of electronic waste from Williams College offices and from local community members – two of which don’t use any other materials at all\, even adhesives and binding products.\n\n\n\n\nWarwick Willow grew up surrounded by art. Their early creative experiences involved painting with homemade watercolors\, sculpting with salt dough\, and exploring their mother’s vast art collection in their family home in New Mexico. They began their formal study of the arts at the age of 15\, going on to graduate from Bard College at Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington\, Massachusetts\, with an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts. Having discovered their love of clay\, they transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where they studied ceramics and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. They currently work at Bard College at Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington as a Community Director.\n\nFrom their statement: My work is an exploration of the connections between art\, domesticity\, and personal identity as it is tied to a living space. Finding inspiration in the beauty of the mundane and the moments of history found within a home\, I aim to create work that brings joy into that intimate space without requiring a pedestal or formal display. When exhibiting my work I prioritize creating an environment that holds stories and feels full of life.\n\n\n\n\n\nFalcon Laina\, 2023 winner\, will be showing new work.\nFocusing on scenes from their vivid dreams\, Falcon’s work explores the eerie\, otherworldly and horrific. By using slow and methodical techniques to bring these pieces to life\, and by presenting a static and beautiful fine art object\, they strive to take away its ability to jumpscare. Falcon’s drawings and sculptures often depict a monster which is made of both human and animal parts.\n\nThese embodiments of taboo and monstrosity are comments on their experience with gender queerness. By presenting these creatures as lovingly crafted creations\, they hope to elicit a sense of curiosity and wonder in the viewer\, and a greater respect for the mysterious. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding

For women\, the left side of the amygdala appears to drive emotional recall much more vividly than for men. Women also have nine brain regions actively involved in the imprinting and commitment to memory of emotionally rich stimuli\, whereas men have only two. (https://www.healthday.com/health-news/neurology/emotional-memory-stronger-in-women-508198.html) \nThis show is both a celebration and inquiry into the feminine nature of memory. How does what we remember — and forget — influence artistic process and output? Each artist\, through her own personal experience\, reveals how memories can function as the ultimate fabric of self expression and storytelling. \nWork by these artists: \nDaisy Noyes\nJosie Miner\nKenzie Fields\nMariah Robertson\nMaura Sullivan\nSusanna Howe\nTina Tyrell\nBarbara Woike\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatherine Wells\, Middletown\, Ct\, 1979 by Barbara Woike\n\n\n\nThe Nutcracker\, 2022 by Tina Tyrell\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Death of Mikhail Alexandrovich\, 2006 by Maura Sullivan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nby Susanna Howe\n\n\n\nby Daisy Noyes\n\n\n\nby Mariah Robertson

His travels with Guthrie included performances at Carnegie Hall\, the New Orleans Jazz Fest\, and Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion\, among many other landmark venues.
