Maple Weekend
The smell of maple syrup cooking will be in the air this weekend and next, as we celebrate Maple Weekend. Maple syrup producers from around the state will have their doors open to the public for tours and tastings at this annual family-friendly event. There are also other events, like pancake breakfasts and horse drawn wagon rides, like the picture above, taken at Merle Maple in Attica last year. Maple Weekend takes place March 21-22 and 28-29 from 10am-4pm each day. Be sure to dress for the weather and wear boots, as farms can be muddy this time of year.

Country Barn Quilt Trail
Discover the country barn quilt trail
Below is a press release I recently received about the Country Barn Quilt Trail. If you're looking for a place to take a Sunday drive, this is a really unique quilt display. I wrote an article about it in October 2007; here is a link to the article http://explorewny.home.att.net/quilttrail.html
PRESS RELEASE: use by March 20, 2009
Contact: Teresa Mitchell, Seaway Trail, 315-646-1000; Wayne Hale, Orleans County Tourism, 585-589-3199
Country Barn Trail Part of Seaway Trail Quilt Show March 21-22
Quilts made of fabric are not the only types of quilts being featured at the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show on March 21-22 at the Seaway Trail Discovery Center in Sackets Harbor. A special exhibit of the Orleans County Country Barn Quilt Trail will invite show visitors to explore the Seaway Trail byway and a 22-mile loop tour that features quilt blocks made of wood.
More than 40 painted quilt blocks now adorn the sides of barns in the Town of Kendall, found along the western Lake Ontario stretch of the Seaway Trail between Rochester and Niagara Falls.
Travelers can follow a map or access a cell phone audio tour to find the blocks with names such as The Farmer’s Daughter, Carpenter’s Wheel, Circle the Field and Joseph’s Coat. The phone number to call and a map are available at Partyka Farms Market at 1420 County Line Road in Kendall – about three miles south of the Seaway Trail (Lake Ontario State Parkway Morton/Rt. 272 Exit).
Orleans County Tourism and Partyka Farms Market will have a display for the Orleans County Country Barn Quilt Trail at the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show. Orleans County Tourism Director Wayne Hale says farm market owner Lora Partyka is among the local farmers and families that have sponsored the blocks on their barns.
“We share Seaway Trail’s innovative use of storytelling as a method of interpreting our cultural, natural and tourism resources. The Orleans County Country Barn Quilt Trail and its cell phone audio narration, the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show, and the series of Seaway Trail outdoor storyteller interpretive panels placed the length of the 518-mile byway are developing modern-day storytelling traditions that add unique dimensions to the Great Lakes Seaway Trail travel experience,” Hale says.
The March 21-22 show also features more than 90 “Hugs for Heroes” quilts honoring America, her soldiers, and Presidents; quilted works by four international quilting author-artists; and a Viewer’s Choice competition of quilts and wallhangings of “My Favorite Seaway Trail Place(s) for $500 in prizes. There will also be demonstrations and vendors.
The Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show runs 10am to 5pm on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22 at the Seaway Trail Discovery Center in Sackets Harbor, NY. The show is sponsored by the Seaway Trail Foundation and Orleans County Tourism. Learn more online at http://www.seawaytrail.com/ or call 315-646-1000. The show is a Yellow Ribbon Event for military families. #

Ani Hoover: Up Down Around
Lightwell Project
February 26 – June 20, 2009
Ani Hoover’s lyrical repetition of circles in varying sizes and palettes in her abstract paintings produces fleeting impressions as lustrous pop colors buoyantly dance across the surface, bumping against or overlaid by circles that appear time-worn, reminiscent of urban decay or geological processes. Her Lightwell Project features a commanding series of vertical paintings thirty-feet high by five feet wide inspired by natural cycles of varying lengths—a day, a year, perhaps a millennium—cascading from ceiling to floor.
Originally from Missouri, Hoover went to graduate school in Washington, DC and then lived in Baltimore, MD before making her home in Buffalo, New York in 2002. Since moving to Buffalo, her colorful abstract paintings have been shown at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, the Castellani Art Museum, Buffalo Arts Studio, The Neighborhood Collective Gallery, and Insite Gallery.
Hoover’s paintings are in the collections of M & T Bank, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Burchfield-Penney Art Center, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and numerous private collections across the country.
Saya Woolfalk: No Place
February 26 – May 9, 2009
New York-based artist Saya Woolfalk will be in residence for six weeks working on an installment of her ongoing investigations into No Place, a Technicolor society of lush abundance that Woolfalk depicts in performance, video, and sculptural installations. Her alchemical process transforms detritus of our consumer civilization into polychromatic totems and bodysuits sprouting bulbous forms that blend with the vibrant landscape of her invention. She invites us to make a journey to No Place and witness its androgynous inhabitants enact empathetic explorations of self and other as a form of creative expression.
Woolfalk will be in residence February 26 through April 15, 2009 working on another chapter of No Place. She will transform the UB Art Gallery into a stage and studio where the public can attend dress rehearsals and participate in artist-led workshops at scheduled times. Her residency will culminate with a live performance by the artist and students in UB’s Department of Theatre and Dance on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at 4 pm.
Public dress rehearsals:
Thursdays, March 5, 19, and 26, and April 2 and 9, 5 to 7 pm.
Empathetic T-shirt Workshops:
Saturdays, February 28, March 21, and April 11, 2 to 4 pm.
Woolfalk’s work spans multiple media from sculpture, installation, and painting to performance and video. She holds an MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA from Brown University, and she recently completed the Whitney Independent Study Program in Studio. She has exhibited at PS1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center in Long Island City, NY; the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, IN; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, IL; and Momenta Art in Williamsburg, NY. She received an Art Matters grant to Japan and a NYFA grant (2007), a Fulbright Fellowship to Brazil (2005), and a Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA grant (2004), and was a participant at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Yaddo, and Sculpture Space. In 2008, Woolfalk was a resident artist at the Studio Museum in Harlem. She is currently working on a dance piece commissioned by the UB Art Gallery, Center for the Arts. With the support of a Franklin Furnace fellowship, the piece will travel to New York City in the fall of 2009.
The UB Art Gallery is funded by the UB College of Arts Sciences, the Visual Arts Building Fund, the Seymour H. Knox Foundation Fine Arts Fund, and the Fine Arts Center Endowment.
The UB Art Gallery is located in the Center for the Arts on the North Campus just north of the I290 on Millersport Highway.

Enrique Chagoya: Adventures and Misadventures, Prints and Multiples 2002-2008.
UB Anderson Gallery
March 6 - April 26, 2009
Buffalo, NY – UB Anderson Gallery is pleased to present Enrique Chagoya: Adventures and Misadventures, Prints and Multiples 2002-2008, which is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view March 6 through April 26, 2009. There will be a public reception on Saturday, March 21 from 6:00-8:00pm. The artist will give a lecture April 9 at 5:30pm.
The show features approximately 15 works published by different presses, including ULAE, Sharks Ink, Segura, Magnolia Press, Hui Press and Trillium.
Chagoya has been actively making prints for over 25 years, and his work in the medium has become increasingly experimental in terms of scale, mixed technique and even dimension, which is the focus of the current survey. The exhibition begins in 2002 with Chagoya’s “Enlightened Savage,” a set of 10 “soup cans” published by Trillium Press. Mimicking Campbell’s labels, Chagoya’s offerings include “Critic’s Tongue,” “Cream of Dealer,” and “Museum Director’s Tripe.”
The most recent – and most ambitious - works in the show are two examples of his latest codex, published by Magnolia Press in December. Titled “New Illegal Alien’s Guide to Critical Theory,” each work combines lithography and monoprint on 8 foot long sheets of amate paper. Two superimposed layers of images hand drawn and printed on plexi sheets give the work a rich and startling sculptural dimension. The exhibition also features two “Codex” prints published by Shark’s Ink. in 2004 and 2005, “The Ghost of Liberty,” and “Double Trouble (Anthropology of the Clone),” both commentaries on the Iraq war, as well as “Thinking of Ensor and My Cat Diego” published in 2007 by ULAE.
Born in Mexico City in 1953, Chagoya received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. He currently resides in San Francisco and is Associate Professor of Art and Art History at Stanford University. Chagoya's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, LA County Museum, and the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., among others. A career survey exhibition organized by the Des Moines Art Center traveled to the Berkeley Art Museum and the Palm Springs Desert Museum in 2008.
Organized by the George Adams Gallery
UB Anderson Gallery is supported with funds from the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Anderson Gallery Program Fund, and UB Collection Care and Management Endowment Fund.
UB Anderson Gallery, located at One Martha Jackson Place near Englewood and Kenmore, is open Wednesday through Saturday 11am-5pm and Sunday 1-5pm. For more information, please call (716) 829-3754.

Buffalo, NY – The UB Art Gallery, Center for the Arts is pleased to present two solo exhibitions for Naomi Marine and Kara Newbauer, on view from March 19 to April 11, 2009.
OPENING RECEPTION FOR THE ARTISTS:
Thursday, March 19, 2009, 5 TO 7 PM
UB Art Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 11 AM to 5 PM with extended hours on Thursday until 7 PM. For information, please call 716-645-6913.
Naomi Marine: Nothing of Significance
March 19 - April 11, 2009
Opening Reception, Thursday, March 19, 5 to 7pm
Naomi Marine's installation Nothing of Significance explores the fantastical intermingling of perceptual and material transformation. Guided by her sensual relationship to color and texture, Marine reconfigures hair, flooring insulation, textiles, paper trash, and other abject materials culled from her domestic environment into whimsical arrangements that seem uncanny in their perverse familiarity. Marine's desire for immediacy and a love of repetitive, ritualistic actions results in marks and forms generated as multiples which use her own theatrical daydreams and desires as humorous catalysts to ponder the complexity of human motivations and the dueling powers of thought and action to transform reality.
Naomi Marine is currently living, working and collecting in Amherst, NY, far from the shimmering heat and mountains of Arizona in which she grew up. Marine received her B.F.A. in painting from Arizona State University in 2005, and is now in the final semester of study for her Master's of Fine Arts from the University at Buffalo. She has exhibited her sculptures, paintings, and installations commercially and independently in the greater Phoenix area and Western New York, and her work is included in numerous private collections.
Kara Newbauer: Color Stacks & Painted Pictures
March 19 - April 11, 2009
Opening Reception, Thursday, March 19, 5 to 7pm
Kara Newbauer's Color Stacks & Painted Paintings uses observational painting, reproductions of paintings, and found images to create a space that allows the viewer to discover relationships within the surrounding world, as well the very way the world is represented, re-represented, and validated through historical record. In this case, she pursues her imagery in stacks of art history books. Throughout the installation, paintings reference images, images reference paintings, and illusion references flat color, creating a self-reflexive space where remembering, forgetting, and critical questioning become the dominant experiences.
Newbauer was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is currently living and working in Buffalo, New York. She received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2006, and is currently completing an Master's of Fine Arts at the University at Buffalo.
The UB Art Gallery is funded by the UB College of Arts Sciences, the Visual Arts Building Fund, the Seymour H. Knox Foundation Fine Arts Fund, and the Fine Arts Center Endowment.

Enrique Chagoya: Adventures and Misadventures, Prints and Multiples 2002-2008.
UB Anderson Gallery
March 6 - April 26, 2009
Buffalo, NY – UB Anderson Gallery is pleased to present Enrique Chagoya: Adventures and Misadventures, Prints and Multiples 2002-2008, which is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view March 6 through April 26, 2009. There will be a public reception on Saturday, March 21 from 6:00-8:00pm. The artist will give a lecture April 9 at 5:30pm.
The show features approximately 15 works published by different presses, including ULAE, Sharks Ink, Segura, Magnolia Press, Hui Press and Trillium.
Chagoya has been actively making prints for over 25 years, and his work in the medium has become increasingly experimental in terms of scale, mixed technique and even dimension, which is the focus of the current survey. The exhibition begins in 2002 with Chagoya’s “Enlightened Savage,” a set of 10 “soup cans” published by Trillium Press. Mimicking Campbell’s labels, Chagoya’s offerings include “Critic’s Tongue,” “Cream of Dealer,” and “Museum Director’s Tripe.”
The most recent – and most ambitious - works in the show are two examples of his latest codex, published by Magnolia Press in December. Titled “New Illegal Alien’s Guide to Critical Theory,” each work combines lithography and monoprint on 8 foot long sheets of amate paper. Two superimposed layers of images hand drawn and printed on plexi sheets give the work a rich and startling sculptural dimension. The exhibition also features two “Codex” prints published by Shark’s Ink. in 2004 and 2005, “The Ghost of Liberty,” and “Double Trouble (Anthropology of the Clone),” both commentaries on the Iraq war, as well as “Thinking of Ensor and My Cat Diego” published in 2007 by ULAE.
Born in Mexico City in 1953, Chagoya received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. He currently resides in San Francisco and is Associate Professor of Art and Art History at Stanford University. Chagoya's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, LA County Museum, and the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., among others. A career survey exhibition organized by the Des Moines Art Center traveled to the Berkeley Art Museum and the Palm Springs Desert Museum in 2008.

Naomi Marine: Nothing of Significance
March 19 - April 11, 2009
Opening Reception, Thursday, March 19, 5 to 7pm
Naomi Marine's installation Nothing of Significance explores the fantastical intermingling of perceptual and material transformation. Guided by her sensual relationship to color and texture, Marine reconfigures hair, flooring insulation, textiles, paper trash, and other abject materials culled from her domestic environment into whimsical arrangements that seem uncanny in their perverse familiarity. Marine's desire for immediacy and a love of repetitive, ritualistic actions results in marks and forms generated as multiples which use her own theatrical daydreams and desires as humorous catalysts to ponder the complexity of human motivations and the dueling powers of thought and action to transform reality.
Naomi Marine is currently living, working and collecting in Amherst, NY, far from the shimmering heat and mountains of Arizona in which she grew up. Marine received her B.F.A. in painting from Arizona State University in 2005, and is now in the final semester of study for her Master's of Fine Arts from the University at Buffalo. She has exhibited her sculptures, paintings, and installations commercially and independently in the greater Phoenix area and Western New York, and her work is included in numerous private collections.
Kara Newbauer: Color Stacks & Painted Pictures
March 19 - April 11, 2009
Opening Reception, Thursday, March 19, 5 to 7pm
Kara Newbauer's Color Stacks & Painted Paintings uses observational painting, reproductions of paintings, and found images to create a space that allows the viewer to discover relationships within the surrounding world, as well the very way the world is represented, re-represented, and validated through historical record. In this case, she pursues her imagery in stacks of art history books. Throughout the installation, paintings reference images, images reference paintings, and illusion references flat color, creating a self-reflexive space where remembering, forgetting, and critical questioning become the dominant experiences.
Newbauer was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is currently living and working in Buffalo, New York. She received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2006, and is currently completing an Master's of Fine Arts at the University at Buffalo.
The UB Art Gallery is funded by the UB College of Arts Sciences, the Visual Arts Building Fund, the Seymour H. Knox Foundation Fine Arts Fund, and the Fine Arts Center Endowment.
