Alix Aymé: European Perception and Asian Poeticism. On view: March 11 – September 30, 2012. This is the first museum exhibition devoted to the career of Alix Aymé (French, 1894–1989), an influential participant in the promotion of Paris-born modernism in the era between the world wars. The exhibition presents an unparalleled opportunity to study the artist’s development over nearly four decades, from her early works under the tutelage of French Nabi painter Maurice Denis, to her mature compositions of sensual portraits and haunting landscapes that fused traditional Asian styles with the spirit of Western modernism. Bringing together nearly forty works from public and private collections, the exhibition includes never-before-exhibited paintings, drawings, lacquer panels, and book illustrations chronicling a career that was much inspired by the artist’s over twenty years living in Indochina.

In this time of mass manufacturing and outsourcing, making by hand can be a potent and rebellious act. What is the allure of the handmade, the laboriously crafted, in a time of digital saturation? Division of Labor presents twelve artists from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles, and asks what meticulous processes and time consuming approaches can bring to an idea. Featuring works that employ a spectrum of methods from extreme force to remarkable delicacy, this exhibition will explore the role of old craft traditions and new craft inventions in contemporary art practices. Artist Renee van der Stelt will do a drawing-based performance the night of the opening. CURRENT SPACE, 421 North Howard Street Baltimore MD www.currentspace.com opening reception: 7 - 10 pm
