The exhibit will explore the multi-layered aspects of seeing and being seen as related to mental illness and/or trauma. We are seeking a dialogue about art, portraiture and states of mind, be it through artwork or poetry. We are seeking donations of faxed or emailed or uploaded portraits to be included on our wall of faces during the exhibition. : www.studiodownstairs.orgStudio Downstairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105923071066256242noreply@blogger.comBlogger25125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282186649401378728.post-83997095100935665732010-11-10T16:21:00.000-08:002010-11-10T16:21:29.705-08:00Art Reception for our Look In/ Look Out Exhibit at Montgomery College<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Students at Montgomery College in Sally Brucker's Mental health class were treated to the exhibition and shown around by several Studio artists, Claudia and Shannon.

Thanks to everyone who came over to the table to make portraits with us.<br />
The show looks beautiful and I was told that many folks have been by to compliment us.<br />
Great Job!<br />
<br />
We were surprised to get a call from Verizon Cable Channel One today. A cameraperson came to ArtSpring and filmed us for a good while. We'll get the clip (3 minutes, I was told) next week.<br />
<br />
So all in all, today was a good one!<br />

We worked on portraits relating to how we were feeling or how we felt in the past.

It took me by surprise to see my self on camera, as both an observer and the observed. It took a while to grasp what I was seeing as I did not </span>recognize<span style="font-family: georgia;"> myself... "I" am much younger and more alive than the tired aged face I saw on camera. When I opened the discussion to those around me, their collective comment was: "What's the surprise? You see yourself in the mirror every day"... But it was just different. I think the mirror image must become a generalization or an assumption after a while. We look in it and see what we want to see... or something. This video thing was more "real time". I will work on a self portrait from photo booth and see what happens...</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.studiodownstairs.org</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282186649401378728.post-15911449783096480442010-01-06T14:25:00.000-08:002010-01-06T14:25:39.114-08:00Faces<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LIBrEZgRdwA/S0UNpKqDJgI/AAAAAAAABZc/YreUK6ZNeJc/s1600-h/P1080241.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LIBrEZgRdwA/S0UNpKqDJgI/AAAAAAAABZc/YreUK6ZNeJc/s320/P1080241.jpg" /></a><br />

creativity, mental health and portraits inside and outside the box. How do you see yourself, now , over time? How do others see you? What does it mean to be 'seen'. How do you see yourself differently from how others see you? How do you express that either artistically or through writing? We want to hear from you!! We are a group of artists,/mental health consumers putting on a show in June called Look In/Look OUt! and we are interested in dialoging about this. So check out our website and blog back to us!!! <a href="http://www.studiodownstairs.org/">www.studiodownstairs.org</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.studiodownstairs.org</div>Studio Downstairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105923071066256242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282186649401378728.post-82081610777512375022009-12-22T14:30:00.000-08:002010-02-18T15:02:27.598-08:00Studio Downstairs- Portrait Exhibit - Call for Art<span style="color: #663366; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Studio Downstairs is a therapeutically informed art studio program for adults who live with some form of psychological or dissociative illness.
