Upstate Art Weekend: Kurt Seligmann Center

Arcane 17 Presented in the Lower Gallery at The Seligmann Center takes its name and inspiration from the 1944 book Arcanum 17, written by Andre Breton with the help of fellow Surrealist and historian of Magic, Kurt Seligmann. While in exile from Europe during the final stages of World War Two, the text was written on a trip to Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec Canada. Inspired by the impermanence of Percé Rock juxtaposed with the global backdrop of a world war, Arcanum 17 conceives a spiritual revolution and resurrection of the society through women and metaphysical conceptions of femininity. In the spirit of this monumental text Arcane 17 will exhibit a presentation of Seligmann’s prints featured along side a selection of contemporary women artists, Chellis Baird, Nazli Efe, and Ophelia Arc.

Opening Reception Jan. 14, 2023

Exhibitions about motherhood run the risk of falling short in many ways. It is very difficult to adequately capture the breadth of the experience. It is easy to tell only one side of the story or one version of it. Perhaps most disconcertingly, in an attempt to expand on the lived experience of women, we face the threat of inadvertently pigeonholing them into the role of mother, rather than inter- rogating the role itself. We might be compelled to ask, “where are the exhibitions about fatherhood?” While these concerns are merited, to avoid discussing the complexity of motherhood seems to be setting aside an important conversation for fear of having it incorrectly. This exhibition works to expand the conversation showcasing work by 13 artists who have been or are being confronted by the social and practical realities of motherhood.

Chellis Baird | Tethered

SEPTEMBER 7 – DECEMBER 19, 2021 | OPENING RECEPTION: SEPTEMBER 11, 4 – 6 PM

Based out of New York City, Spartanburg-SC native Chellis Baird (b. 1983) explores movement, dimension and fluidity in her woven paintings. Reconstructing the elements of a painting, Baird employs fabric, paint and wood to weave – not in the traditional sense – complex sculptural forms that expand beyond the edges of their frameworks. Inspired by Baird’s passion for color, dance, fashion and textiles, the tangled, monochromatic works featured in Tethered beckon viewers to explore their winding and intrinsically meditative compositions. The artist hopes viewers will “immerse themselves in the tactility of the human hand and spirit, with enough space to fill in and release their own emotions.” Baird received her BFA in textiles from Rhode Island School of Design and studied studio art at the Art Students League in New York City.
