The Prints of Tsukioka Kôgyo

In a period of rapid modernization after the opening of Japan in 1854 and the fall of the last shogunal dynasty in 1868, the prints of Tsukioka Kôgyo (1869–1927) helped to preserve a traditional Japanese artistic medium—the woodblock print—and to document a traditional Japanese performing art, the Noh theater. During his forty-year career, Kôgyo created hundreds of prints and paintings showing the costumes, masks, preparations, performances and settings of Noh dramas. This exhibition is made possible with the support of the Warehouse Art Museum (WAM), the Jan Serr & John Shannon Collection and is in part sponsored by Guardian Fine Art Services.

Scott Espeseth: Grey Matters

February 6-27. Scott Espeseth makes drawings and works on paper that evoke the eeriness of everyday experiences and have been described as “clairvoyant,” often depicting familiar spaces charged with a sense of dark presence, or other instances where planes of existence clash: the future sending messages to the past, memory intruding upon the present, or the subconscious bleeding into consciousness.

Tony Conrad

March 6-20. Tony Conrad’s work has influences from various cultural and historical movements including Persian textiles, Tibetan Buddhism, psychedelic rock culture, and meditative states.  He is particularly drawn to the beautiful patterning that is central to these traditions. The repetitive mark making and layers of paint form a palimpsest of lines and patterns. The obsessive nature of reinventing the hash mark over and over again is therapeutic as it oscillates between order and disorder.  Guided by intuition to relinquish control over chance, a quiet history develops describing a journey – not a destination. Surpassing the physical limitations of the painted surface, his work searches for a place where chaos and harmony coexist.

Jan Smith

April 14-25. Working in pastels, Jan Smith closely studies the landscape and explores the impact of climate change on the places we cherish.

Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass | www.bmmglass.com

One-of-a-Kind: Unique Perthshire Paperweights

Through January 26. Perhaps no name is more synonymous with contemporary Scottish glass than that of Perthshire Paperweights. Founded in 1968 by Stuart Drysdale,Perthshire Paperweights was born out of a desire to preserve the classic designs of antique millefiori paperweights produced by the French factories of Baccarat, Clichy and St. Louis. In fact, it was an article and accompanying photographs featuring the collection of the Bergstrom Art Center in the July, 1965 issue of Woman’s Day magazine that piqued Drysdale’s interest in creating paperweights in the style and artistry of the old masters.

Sharon Fujimoto

Through February 16. Based in Amherst Junction, Wisconsin, artist Sharon Fujimoto creates art and functional objects using glass as the basic medium. She believes in the simplicity of form and color and the fact that “…’accidents’ are a beautiful thing.” She says, “I am not the master of my medium, I simply go with the flow as a witness, a participant and a supervisor. The end result is a one-of-a-kind object that will hopefully endure trends and fads – a piece that will make a connection with the artist and the viewer.” As a result of her selection as the 1st place winner, sponsored by Rosann Baum Milius, of the 2023 GLASS Arts Festival, Fujimoto’s art will be on exhibit in the museum’s Blue Gallery through February.

Through a Window Darkly: The Artwork of Jen Blazina pays homage to Evangeline Bergstrom, museum founder. Blazina’s work is influenced by commonplace possessions, familial vignettes and photographs.
