(MAHWAH) - As part of its Tenth Anniversary Celebration for the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts, a multi-media exhibition of works by visual arts alumni who studied in the Berrie Center, "Tops in Ten: A Selection," will be on view from February 6 through February 26 in the Kresge Gallery.
"The artists on view have established their artistic practice on a par equal to the best work being seen in leading edge galleries in New York and Berlin," says Sydney Jenkins, director of the Art Galleries. "The subject matter is varied, ranging from Los Angeles painter Dan Monteavaro’s compelling animal compositions, to Robin Cross-Keller’s ‘Life of the Professor’ series, to Bil Thompson’s film work with celebrities."
Artists include, Hannah Craft (sculpture/installation), Eva Fazzari (photography), Robin Cross-Keller (paintings), Joshua Knoblick (sculpture), Robert Modafferi (sculpture/installation), Dan Monteavaro (painting), and Bil Thompson (film).
The opening reception will be Saturday, February 6, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. with artists’ talks at 7:30 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Wednesday from 1 to 7 p.m. Special Saturday hours on February 6 only are 3 to 8:30 p.m. Please note that the gallery will be closed during the College’s spring break, from March 14-21.
This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

chashama exhibition press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
chashama presents “things which perish if not for the using”
An ever-changing installation brought to you by Hannah Craft
At the chashama Window, 266 West 37th St. (between 7th & 8th Aves)
Viewing times: September 8-26, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays: 12-6pm
Artist reception: Saturday, September 19, 6-9pm
For more information visit chashama
Hannah Craft’s things which perish if not for the using is a subtly new installation each day, an illustration of organic growth at the street level. It is a depiction of specific moments that force the viewer into the realization he or she is not looking at the same piece seen yesterday. Utilizing taxidermy, strawberry plants and wheatgrass, this piece offers a new experience upon each passing. The artist’s hand is removed at a certain point, allowing light and water to control the final aesthetics of the piece. things which perish if not for the using is an opportunity for people to contemplate how we coexist with plants and animals and to observe simple things most likely overlooked everyday, if ever even witnessed, amongst the hustle of midtown Manahattan. The stems crawl over the deer. The fruit rots or gets eaten. The grass grows tall and wilts.
Hannah Craft graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey this past May after also studying at Emerson College in the Netherlands and Melbourne University in Australia. She has been furthering the concepts of her interactive, organic sculptures since receiving “Best in Show” at her juried thesis exhibition in Mahwah, NJ. Her work was also recently exhibited in the FIGMENT sculpture celebration on Governor’s Island in June. Aside from actively making work in mediums as varied as iron, rope, eggshells, bronze and ice, Hannah keeps busy with her other endeavor, The Rabbit Hole Bakeshop, an organic cookie company started in 2007.
chashama is a NYC arts organization whose mission is to support artists of all genres. chashama adopts vacant properties that are donated by their owners and converts them into theatres, galleries, studios, and window performances sites; chashama then regrants this space for free or at heavily subsidized rates. Since 1995, chashama has transformed more than 20 vacant properties and has given more than 5,000 artists access to space.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
