(Matt Held, Eve, 2008, oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches)
Denise Bibro Fine Art is pleased to present Matt Held: facebook portraits, on view September 10 through October 3, 2009 in our Platform project space. The culmination of a series of portraits begun in 2008, the exhibition features more than 40 canvases painted from facebook profile photos. They encompass works which are funny, cool, quirky, and sometimes disturbing.
Historically, portraiture developed as a vehicle for the bourgeoisie to convey their wealth and social status. Patrons had the power to dictate the environment in which they were depicted, as well as which of their features were emphasized or diminished. Held's project brings portraiture to the masses via facebook's pandemic social networking site, inviting people to become part of his "group"-which has more than 6,000 members-by volunteering to have their portrait painted. The stipulation is that Held himself chooses which image to render, claiming a position of power as the artist. That this project now finds itself in the realm of the art world, in the heart of the Chelsea gallery scene, brings the project full-circle.
Held has exhibited nationally, including solo shows at Optic Nerve Arts, Portland, OR; as well as Garage Walk and Stella's, both in Seattle, WA. Selected group shows include Haskins Lab at Yale University, New Haven, CT; Gallery 364, Brooklyn, NY; and NutureArt, CUE Art Foundation, and Artists Space, all in New York City. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The New York Observer, New York Magazine, and Wired Magazine. Held studied at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver, CO.

Making Public Sculpture Vandalism-Resistant
by Julia Muney Moore
If someone really wants to vandalize a work of art, there is not much an artist can do to stop it. There are, however, planning, design, and fabrication steps artists can take that will make a public artwork less attractive as a target or make it difficult for vandals to do permanent damage.

EMERGENCY FUND FOR ARTISTS
New Emerging Artist Guidelines at CERF
CERF now provides assistance to emerging professional craft artists who have suffered a recent career-threatening emergency. In the past, CERF provided assistance only to artists who earned a living from their work for at least three years. "We have expanded our guidelines," notes program director Craig Nutt, " because we recognize that disasters can strike artists who have recently started their careers and businesses." To be eligible an applicant must demonstrate a clear commitment to working full-time as a craft artist along with working to advance their knowledge in their chosen media through education, apprenticeships, or internships. Guidelines and application requirements
Participate in the Health Care Debate
The Actors Fund just launched Artists United for Health Care, a national artists’ health care reform website, in partnership withauhc.gif the Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) and Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC). At Artists United for Health Care self-employed artists and individuals interested in the national debate around health care can:
* Link to current news about the rapidly developing health care reform debate.
* Identify existing local and national grass-roots organizations working for change.
* Send letters to Congress and Senate representatives, and to editors of the press.
* Find contacts for organizing and attending events and seminars.
Key Results Now Available on Artist Trust Recession Survey

Artists can remain anonymous if they choose and can sign up to receive the report summarizing the survey results. LINC Survey
Community Service Opportunities for Artists
Americans for the Arts has just launched a new web portal dedicated to promoting community service opportunities for artists, arts groups, and arts volunteers nationwide. The United We Serve website is a place for volunteers in the arts to share stories and upload photos and videos related to their volunteer experiences. Inspired by President Obama, Americans for the Arts is leading the nation's arts sector to be an active participant in this national service initiative, and showcase the arts and humanities service activities happening across the country as part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11, 2009 and throughout the year. Visit the website to showcase your personal or professional volunteer stories, videos, and pictures, which will be compiled and shared with the White House, Congress, and the media.
FUNDRAISING NEWS
September Starts A Season for CERF!
September marks the beginning of A Season for CERF and soseason-map.JPG far, forty-eight craft related businesses have signed up to participate in this fundraiser to support CERF's programs and services. Now in its thirteenth year, A Season for CERF unites galleries, retailers and artists, nationwide, in a venture as unique as the individuals and businesses involved. Retailers involved decide when (anytime between September and the end of the year) and what they are going to do. Some organize silent auctions or raffles while others sponsor parties, workshops, and dearly loved seconds-sales. Still others decide to simply make a cash donation of at least $100.
Visit the CERF website for current listings of participating businesses or visit our Google map to find a gallery or event near you. Wondering about joining up? No, it's not too late. Just contact the CERF office and we'll help you get going and welcome you to an ever growing group of individuals and retailers wanting to make a difference for craft artists in need.
"Sweeps for CERF" Gives New Meaning to Metal Scraps
When metalsmiths clean up their shops, the dustpan gathers value. Now, those "sweeps" can help make a difference in the lives of craft artists in distress.
Rio Grande, a national jewelryRio44BlueButton.jpgsupplier, has created "Sweeps for CERF," a program through which it will accept sweeps from jewelers by mail, refine the tiny bits of metal, and donate the full value of the recovered metal directly to CERF. Just collect your sweeps (and nothing else) in a plastic bag, seal the bag and place it into a box. Send your package to: Rio Grande, 7500 Bluewater Road, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87121 Attn: Sweeps for CERF. For more information about the program go to the "Sweeps for CERF" website.
"Handbuilt" Event Will Benefit CERF
"Handbuilt" a conference dedicated to handbuilding with clay, will benefit CERF in Philadelphia, September 17-19. This "down-to-earth" event, organized by clay artist Sandi Pierantozzi, will feature demonstrations, inspiration, and conversation. Demonstrators Hayne Bayless, Lisa Naples, Sandi Pierantozzi, and Holly Walker will be joined by special guest speaker William Daley. The event will also feature an invitational show of nationally known handbuilders. To learn more or to register, visit the event website or contact Sandi Pierantozzi.

201 West Marcy Street
What Lies Beneath: The Interment of a Culture is a photographic installation for the Santa Fe Community Convention Center based on the site’s archeology. Joan Zalenski was granted access to the archeological site. Working closely with the lead archeologist and representatives of the Pueblo of Tesuque, she photographed numerous non-culturally sensitive artifacts as well as the site itself. Utilizing this source photography, Zalenski created a large-scale photographic “quilt” based on the six different historical periods found at the site.

Silent Auction to benefit documentary photography - February 20, 2010
I'm writing on behalf of Julia Dean (founder of the Julia Dean Photo
Workshops in Venice California) to tell you about an exciting event. On
February 20, 2010 we are holding - with Aaron Eckhart as our host - a silent
auction with more than 100 photographs by the most well respected
photographers in the business (please refer to the attached list). This
public event will take place at the Stephen Cohen Gallery in Los Angeles
from 7:00-10:00 pm. We will also be holding a VIP pre-party from 5:00-7:00
pm, which will be by invitation only. These folks will include our
celebrity friends, art buyers, and the photographers in the auction.
Our goal is to raise money for documentary photography, and begin what is
called Project 5. This stands for 5 silent auctions to fun 5 socially
concerned projects over a period of 5 years.
For more information, I invite you to read our official press release (which
I've attached). I also invite you to view our website at
http://Photo4Change.org.
We would really appreciate if you could cover the event online. If you have
any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Warm regards,
