A Virtual Exhibition of NYSCA Decentralization Grantees from 2018-2019 
Online from May 8, – May 31, 2020

DEC The Walls brings together our Exhibition and Decentralization Regrant Programs. We are showcasing seven artists, all Creative Individual grantees from 2018-2019, whose work spans the artistic spectrum. They are: 2018-Lauren Skelly Bailey, Andrea Cote, Leonard Lehrman, John Scarola, 2019-Susan Buroker, Diego Garcia, and Dudley Salmon. Their work, project descriptions and artist bio’s are displayed below.

2018 DEC Creative Individual Awardees


Lauren Skelly Bailey, Creative Individual, “Marine Debris Awareness”

Caution
Fountain

In the spring of 2018, Lauren Skelly Bailey was awarded two grants from the New York State Council on the Arts through the Huntington Art Council to bring about awareness of how important it is to keep beaches clean and how global warming is bleaching coral lives. Bailey created new works, taught hands-on clay workshops, and hosted beach clean ups in her community thanks to the support of these grants. Her work explored coral bleach events caused by global warming in clay. It included neon colors and white as a symbol of warning, not rebirth. For more information on Lauren Skelly Bailey click here.


Andrea Cote, Creative Individual, “The Radiance Project”

The Radiance Project Mandala Tapestry

“The Radiance Project” was a community project for Southampton. It engaged our collective bodies in collaborative printmaking, alternative photography, and movement workshops based around the circular mandala form. A multi-dimensional radiant community portrait emerged over a series of months, culminating in an installation of visual tapestries at Southampton Arts Center in 2018. A communally created dance, performed at Flying Point Beach and filmed for video, was also screened. The process was documented and visible on the project website: radianceartproject.wordpress.com.

Leonard Lehrman, Creative Individual, “The Last Word”

Helene and Leonard Rehearsing
2018 Perfromance, Trinity Church, Roslyn

Alex Skovron

On Dec. 2, 2001, at Roslyn’s Bryant Library, and Jan. 5, 2002, at Chapel Off Chapel in Melbourne, Australia, Helene Williams, accompanied by the composer, premiered Leonard Lehrman’s cycle, “An Australian Odyssey”, on 18 poems by 14 Australian poets, including two by poet/editor Alex Skovron. Fifteen years later, Lehrman drew on Skovron for inspiration again, setting his dystopian poem, “The Last Word,” to music for performance by Williams and Margo Andrea with the Alba Consort of the L.I. Baroque Festival. The work was premiered in Valley Stream with piano on June 3, 2018, and at Roslyn’s Trinity Church with instruments on Oct. 14, 2018. This was the first time a Creative Individual grant had been awarded to a composer. For more information on Leonard Lehrman click here.

White Flashes

Clarity: A solo exhibition at Patchogue’s Muñeca Arthouse that consisted
of 24 brand-new paintings by Diego Garcia and an extensive event calendar of live music. The paintings, half of which were sold, told a vivid story of a journey through complex emotional experiences. To create the exhibition, Garcia related to techniques found in previous solo shows and presented new ones that expanded his technical and artistic palette. An estimated 500+ community members experienced the show through its event calendar alongside the gallery’s public hours. Garcia also provided an art workshop inspired by the exhibition in his hometown of Brentwood, NY. For more information on Diego Garcia click here.
