His boldly colored, strongly linear works take on the difficult themes of religion, drugs, life and death, sexuality, and unity with imagery ranging from darkly disturbing to joyously triumphant. Though he experimented with many different mediums, his sculptures echo the style and themes from his bold 2-dimensional works. Also, on view in the Domestic Arts Building, the environmental sculpture of Chakaia Booker, who’s primary medium of recycled tires begs the comparison of the pattern in a relief sculpture’s tire tread to the patterns of ancient writing, likening the viewer’s experience of examining her work to a process of archeological discovery. Reception: Sat., May 1, 2 - 5pm. The park is closed to the public all day. Members and invited guests only. Exhibition: May 2 through September 19. Sunday, May 2nd Member Exhibition 2010 This new exhibition features artwork in various media by members of Grounds For Sculpture in the Education Gallery of the Seward Johnson Center for the Arts. Exhibition: May 2 through July 18 Sunday, May 2nd Gallery Talk: Chakaia Booker Time: 2pm.

Think Everly Brothers meet Indigo Girls with an indie folk-pop sensibility and you have a general idea of what to expect. Not only do the girls write hip, folk-tinged pop songs that are sure to appeal to the younger generation, but they’ve endeared themselves to more seasoned audience members with their renditions of songs by Neil Young, Donovan, Joni Mitchell, Buffalo Springfield and Joan Osborne. Don’t miss this exciting duo. Price: $15 Members; $18 non-Members: $20 Day of Show. For tickets, please call (609) 586-0616. Saturday, May 8th 10th Anniversary Workshop: Kiki Smith Time: 10:30am - 1:30pm.

As in much of her work, the body is seen as a receptacle of knowledge, belief, and storytelling and often exposes the inner biological systems of females as a metaphor for hidden social issues. This workshop will explore the life and work of this artist, noting the influences of her highly personal art. Using the dry point technique, create prints that illustrate your own mythologies. And finally, imagine how these drawings could be translated into sculpture. Instructor: Aylin Green. Price: $35 Members; $40 non-Members. To register, please call (609) 586-0616.
