Florence Griswold Museum
June 7 –September 22: Animal/Vegetable/Mineral: An Artist's Guide to the World. This exhibition brings together iconic works from the Museum’s collection with a selection of contemporary pieces to investigate three recurring themes in the history of American art: the animal, the vegetable, and the mineral. In addition to the Museum's permanent collection, recent works by Sascha Braunig, Allison Maletz, and the team of Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick will show some of the ways artists continue to investigate the persistent return to fundamental questions about the ephemeral character of animals, the nature of nature, and the materiality of objects.

FRED.GIAMPIETRO
May 3 – June 1: Gallery 1: Valerie Brennan – No Chance of Rain. Gallery 2: Joseph Fucigna – Ebb and Flow. Opening reception: Friday, May 3, 5-8 p.m. Artist talk with Joseph Fucigna: Saturday, May 13, 2 p.m. Irish artist Valerie Brennan approaches every panel as an adventure in paint. The paintings are the result of a struggle between the artist and her materials. Joseph Fucigna is an artist, who through experimentation and play, creates sculptures and paintings that are known for their odd but suggestive subject matter. June 7 – 29: Gallery 1: Riley Brewster – works. Gallery 2: Self-Portraits of Samuel Rothbort. Opening reception: Friday, June 7, 5-8 p.m. Samuel Rothbort (1882-1971) maintained an intensely personal vision during his long career. Giampietro is pleased to present a glimpse into Rothbort’s eccentric life through his self-portraits. Riley Brewster's work resonates a sense of depth and thought. Even still, this very personal work maintains a certain a sense of economy and private space. Riley's painterly, yet minimal aesthetic, seem to run in opposition to one another, making this very personal work a unique experience.

Housatonic Museum of Art
June 13-July 26: Eye On the Storm, curated by D. Dominick Lombardi. This exhibition responds to or reflects upon the sometimes-overwhelming storm of information in roughly three phases. The calm comes into view with mixed media works like Touch, by Anita Arliss, which captures the haunting stillness right before a disruptive event. The storm has representation with works such as Elizabeth Riley’s installation Party Animal, which reveals the absurdity of too much insipid data that floods important social situations. The aftermath is expressed with works like Trong Nguyen’s Library, where the artist, in an attempt to put all the pieces back together again, writes the entire text of various books, word for word, on individual grains of rice. Located in the Burt Chernow Galleries @ Housatonic Museum of Art, Bridgeport, CT.

May 24–July 6: Gail Salzman: Soundings: Known for their luminous color and layered surfaces, Gail Salzman’s abstract oil paintings metaphorically investigate water’s seen and unseen influence on our lives. While exploring formal elements of composition, Salzman uses water to represent the fluidity of time and memory while recalling multiple levels of experience. Also dynamic and contemplative paintings by Dan Tranberg, which subvert formal systems.
