Art Happenings in St. Louis
'Art for the Cure' Exhibition
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com) - "ART FOR THE CURE", an exhibition of paintings in different mediums in benefit of The Hope Lodge Center of The American Cancer Society, will take place, Sunday July 5, 2009, beginning at 10 am, at 11141 Old Halls Ferry Road.
The public is invited to the art exhibition and sale, featuring the work of Glendon McFarlane, an artist/painter, who has exhibited in various cities around the country and overseas.
The canvas paintings are of real people that he cared for at an health care facility in Florida and some of them were inflicted with cancer. "My life has been touched by those afflicted with various types of cancer, as I've cared for many such patients in the capacity as a patient care technician and nurse assistant, in addition to losing a favorite aunt to this disease," stated McFarlane in a release.
McFarlane said he is using his talent not only to make a living but also to make the Hope Lodge Center Of The American Cancer Society his Special Charitable Project. "I have seen the great work they are doing to provide accommodations and other basic necessities for patients who live outside The City and are cared for in St. Louis," he stated.
For more information on the event, please call 773-937-7316.
Schmidt Contemporary Art Gallery Opens New Exhibits
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com) - Schmidt Contemporary Art Gallery is hosting two new exhibits, through July 11, 2009.
Stuart Arendswillbe showing work from two recent series. The A-Squares are finely milled aluminum boxes 6" x 6" x 2.5" which the artist paints in hard edged geometric formats; the Big Art pieces are much smaller wooden boxes painted more loosely in his signature style which take their name from the fact that although they are physically small they project themselvesas eloquently as large paintings when given the opportunity and the proper space.
The timing is perfect for this exhibition. These particular A-Squares will eventually be heading to a museum exhibition in Italy; other works from this series will be featured in two booths at Art Basel. Other works of the same size as the Big Art pieces will be at Basel as well - but not any from this series which is very personal to the artist who is showing work from this series for the first time.
Olivia Lahs-Gonzales, well known for her photography, will be exhibiting one of her large scale photographs and a series of recent drawings which reflect her ongoing passion for the forms and energies found in the world of nature.
At times appearing quiet - just a few subtle lines of watercolor - and at other time using a variety of media in energetic bursts Lahs-Gonzales works on paper allow her hand to accomplish the same feelings and emotions that her eye has shown us for many years through the lens of her camera.
Schmidt Contemporary Art Gallery is located at 615 North Grand. For more information, call 314-575-2648.

Laumeier Presents Six Local Artists in 7th Edition of Kranzberg Series
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com) - Laumeier Sculpture Park presents Built, the 2009 Kranzberg Exhibition featuring six local artists who will transform the indoor galleries into five unique installations for the seventh edition of the Kranzberg series.
The exhibition continues through September 6, 2009. "The breadth of the work selected for this exhibition was a purposeful decision," said Kim Humphries, Laumeier's Director of Exhibitions and Collections. "The artists are each exploring, researching and postulating in their own specific arenas."
Built presents both literal and metaphorical references. "Throughout the galleries the artwork addresses notions of waste and recycling, it confronts social and political realities - there are moments of pure fantasy as well as reflection on the self and comments on the human condition," Humphries said. "Though it may not be readily apparent a common thread does run through the exhibition. All the work in Built is site-specific - some of it solidly-so, literally constructed into and onto the galleries."
Sarah Frost will construct two large-scale, site specific sculptures of repurposed items from daily life. An MFA graduate of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, Frost recently participated in the "Our Commodity" exhibition at the Regional Arts Commission.
Craig Norton will create an installation employing drawings, stencils and wooden sculptures that will focus on the continuing strife in the Darfur region of Sudan. His 2007 exhibition at White Flag Projects, "127 Racist Drawings," focused on the U.S. civil rights movement.
Stan Chisholm will construct an installation/environment using a variety of two and three-dimensional materials in a large narrative vignette filled with idiosyncratic figures. A recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chisholm was featured in "Screwed In" at the Regional Arts Commission in 2008.
Mike Behle will exhibit an interactive sound sculpture as well as paintings reflecting on emotional contrasts of the human condition. He has exhibited in Chicago, Brooklyn, New York City, San Antonio and St. Louis among other cities.
Cameron Fuller & Sarah Paulsen will collaborate on an ambitious gallery installation merging Fuller's architectural, sculptural trickery with animations by Paulsen. The exhibition, driven by a carnival theme, will also have a major outdoor component. Both are MFA graduates of Washington University in St. Louis (2007). Paulsen was featured in Gallery 210's "Exposure 10" show in 2007. Fuller has exhibited widely around St. Louis and across the country.
The exhibition will open to the public at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, June 5, 2009. The free artist's reception will end at 8:00 p.m. with the exhibition continuing through September 6, 2009 during regular museum hours. For more information, call 314-821-1209
