Marcin Wlodarczyk “ANXIETY”
February 18 – March 7, 2010
Armory Show Party Reception: Friday March 5 5-8pm
Uneasy, pressure imposed by myself and others, managing my thoughts into one larger thought- tying the smaller thoughts together- connecting them. Emotional anxiety- not just negative pressure, both sides of it. Waiting for something to happen- the energy of it finally coming outward. Sense of accomplishment- eager ness of waiting for the result. Built up moments. A sort of 1hi-max and the fluctuation of that high through-out it.

"Paintings and Drawings" by Judy Russell

M55 Art is pleased to announce
An exhibition of new works by Judy Russell
March 11 – March 28 2010
Opening Reception: Saturday March 13 6-8pm
M55art is proud to announce an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Judy Russell. The paintings range from small water-colors to acrylic on masonite and acrylic on canvas. The drawings are pastel and acrylic on paper. Many are the result of the collaboration between Judy and the poet, Monica Tarantino.
Judy and her husband, Robin have lived in Soho since 1973. Now they divide their time between New York City and their home in Delaware County, NY. Monica is a friend and neighbor in the country.
Judy has shown work widely in New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. She has paintings in collections in New York, Illinois, and Virginia. She has been a member of m55art/55 Mercer since 1982.
In July 2009 Judy’s paintings contributed to the set of the production of Moliere’s “The Imaginary Invalid” at The Cell Theater on 23rd Street in Manhattan.
She borrowed the title of her exnibition, “In High Ribbons” from War and Peace, anticipating her forthcoming trip to Russia in May 2010.
