Afterwards and Forward: A Ten-Year 9/11 Reflective Art Exhibition
Aug 29, 2011 - Sep 27, 2011
In recognition of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, NJCU Visual Arts Gallery presents “AFTERWARDS and FORWARD: A ten-year 9/11 reflective art exhibition,” to promote dialogue, deeper reflection, meditation, and contextualization relating to or emerging from the 9/11 disaster and to shed light on prevailing issues about violence in the world. Three themes are represented in the exhibition: artistic responses to 9/11; artistic responses to the war on terror; artworks to promote peace efforts. Each of 18 artists whose work has been selected for the exhibit has demonstrated a strong commitment to anti-war issues throughout his or her career.
The exhibition includes two significant works on loan from the National September 11 Memorial Museum: Milton Rosa-Ortiz’s Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, a light box with World Trade Center debris; and Werner Pfeiffer’s artist’s book, Out of the Sky-9/11 a tribute. Among other highlights of the exhibit are: Joel Meyerowitz’s Nov. 12, 2001, 2001 North Tower Shrouded in Smoke and Spray, a photograph from his Aftermath: Images from Ground Zero, 2001 series; Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree; and Ultra Violet’s sculpture, IX XI
Other contributors to the exhibition are: Hugo Bastidas, an NJCU professor of painting; Richard A. Buntzen, a 2009 NJCU alumnus and collage artist; Nemat El-Nasser, a Jordanian artist; Carole A. Feuerman, an internationally active sculptor; Ben Jones, NJCU professor emeritus of art; Thierry Palau, a French graphic desiner; Duda Penteado, a Brazilian-American artist; José Rodeiro, an NJCU professor of art history and painter; Herb Rosenberg, NJCU professor and sculptor; Patricia Saxton, a graphic designer/author; Jacqui Taylor-Basker, a film maker; Raul Villarreal, a 2006 NJCU alumnus and painter/author; and Chee Wang Ng, a Malaysian-American artist.
