Art on the Inside
Art and Poetry Exhibition
and
Panel Discussion on Prison Education

Friday, February 21, 2020
5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Free and open to the public

Anne Arrasmith Gallery at Space One Eleven
2407 Second Avenue North
Downtown Birmingham

Exhibition on display through April 30, 2020

Space One Eleven and the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project present Art on the Inside, an exhibition of work created by those impacted by the system, people who stepped into classroom spaces where they could create stunning works of art despite a profound lack of resources. Their art allows us to connect to one another, to share stories and engage. The exhibition is a reminder that humanity persists in all places, and that we can see it flourish if given the space to grow. As one APAEP student wrote, “Creativity is what makes us truly human, a path to and from our soul.”

Complementing the exhibition will be a panel discussion on the value of educational programming inside prison, the unique academic challenges for students, and the opportunities for the outside community to get involved. Recognizing our shared humanity and the fundamental necessity of education, everywhere, is paramount to creating sustainable social reforms. Panelists will discuss these topics as well as the demonstrable benefits of higher education programs in prison. APAEP Founder and Director, Kyes Stevens, will be leading the discussion.

the BOMB

Exhibition Opening
Friday, January 25, 2019
5:30 to 7pm

Exhibition on display through March 1, 2019

Anne Arrasmith Gallery
at Space One Eleven
2407 Second Avenue North
Downtown Birmingham

Free and open to the public

Exhibiting artists: Larry Jens Anderson, Temme Barkin-Leeds, Jim Braude, Sarah Emerson, Tom Ferguson, Richard Mafong, Kieran Barnett Moore, Chris Revelle, Claudia Smigrod, Jonathan Terranova, Brad Thomas/Thomas Gleaner, Mark Vallen, Stephen Wilkes

Space One Eleven has invited artist Larry Jens Anderson to guest curate “the BOMB.” The exhibition explores ways artists have been processing this subject as a response to historic and current events. It is by using camp humor, plays on words, ironic twists and other creative methodologies that these artists have arrived at images.

Born two years after the atomic bombs were dropped in Japan, Anderson grew up in the age of “duck and cover” and bomb shelters. Anderson notes that in his adulthood, he is now concerned about suicide bombers, IEDs, school bombings, who has a nuclear bomb and the fact they should not have one, and that his concern of this daily news is not unique to him.

The exhibition will be on display through March 1, 2019.

Larry Jens Anderson was born and lived his first eighteen years in the rural community of Randall, Kansas—population seventy-five. Anderson is retired from teaching art in Atlanta colleges for over 30 years, SCAD Atlanta for 6 years and the Atlanta College of Art before that. Along with his teaching, he has exhibited extensively. His drawings, paintings, videos, and installations touching on human rights issues have been exhibited in such important institutions as the National Museum of Australia, is in the Museum of Modern Art’s book collection, and are included in such local collections as the High Museum of Art plus the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. In addition to his career as an artist and instructor, Anderson was a founding member of the artist collective, TABOO.

Space One Eleven is supported, in part, by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Alabama State Council on the Arts. Additional support comes from Space One Eleven’s Board of Directors, friends of Space One Eleven, corporate and individual donors and volunteers.

Space One Eleven is excited to present the work of artist Leticia Bajuyo in our storefront windows!

During her visit to Birmingham, sponsored by the UAB College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Art and Art History in collaboration with Space One Eleven, Bajuyo is installing sculptures created from discarded compact discs with the assistance of UAB sculpture students from Professor Stacey Holloway’s class.

Bajuyo’s completed installation will be viewable from the street and sidewalks of 2nd Avenue North beginning March 7, 2018.

Women with their Work is a series of all-women group art exhibitions, co-curated by Peter Prinz and Jessica Dallow, Ph.D. The first group exhibition, Women and their Work I: Affect + Action will open on Friday, September 8 from 5:30 to 7pm where artists will address social issues ranging from institutionalized racism, water pollution, the atrocities of war, and the subjugation of female bodies (human and nonhuman). Birmingham artists in the exhibition are Catherine Cabaniss, Beverly Erdreich, Melanie Grinney, Celestia Morgan, and Miriam Omura. Miami artist Rosa Naday Garmendia’s work will be exhibited, as well as Frankfort, Kentucky artist L.A. Watson.

There will be a panel discussion to explore how artists conceive themselves as activists on Thursday, September 7 from 5:30 to 7pm. Exhibiting artists participating on the panel are Celestia Morgan, Miriam Omura, and L.A. Watson. Birmingham social activist T. Marie King will also join the panel, moderated by Jessica Dallow.

The exhibition will remain on display at Space One Eleven through December 29, 2017. Space One Eleven’s gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, and by appointment.

As a Co-Founder of Space One Eleven, Prinz has organized and presented hundreds of exhibitions exploring social justice issues. Dallow is Interim Chair and Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Art and Art History, and is an authority in the field of modern and contemporary feminist art.

In 2018 there will be two additional women’s exhibitions in the series that will feature emerging artists and sculptors. Accompanying panel discussions will explore the attitudes toward feminist art among women of different generations and shifts from feminist issues of the 80s to broader societal issues of today.

About Space One Eleven:
The mission of Space One Eleven is to provide professional opportunities for visual artists, to create a forum for public understanding of contemporary art, and to offer arts education to area youth. Space One Eleven’s purpose is to support contemporary visual arts and the artists who make it, while educating the public to its value. A cornerstone of Space One Eleven since its founding is a commitment to artistic freedom and the payment of artists’ fees.

Founded in 1986, Space One Eleven has a history of organizing challenging, thematic exhibitions. Deeply rooted in place, Space One Eleven provides venues where Birmingham artists make and exhibit work with their national and international colleagues. Space One Eleven is one of the few places in Alabama where a culturally and economically diverse citizenry come together for social, educational and entertaining events that result in greater public understanding and appreciation of living visual artists.

Space One Eleven is supported in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Alabama State Council on the Arts. This project is supported by a grant from the Alabama Humanities Foundation, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, and the Puffin Foundation. Additional support comes from SOE’s Board of Directors, friends of Space One Eleven, corporate and individual donors and volunteers.
