Seasoned en Vieux: Like a Kid in a Candy Store

What I am always amazed about is being even more amazed at the talent of the numerous artists, especially those over 60 and the volume, light & display of their talents they dare show. 

 

I'm like a kid in a candy store!

"Baby Boy"~Farris Armand

 

Galerie 1501 partners with Reinments of Power & through the generousity of HRI Properties in presenting “Seasoned en Vieux" or “A Seasoned View” is a multi-faceted exhibit with a number of thought provoking themes that are meant to dispel the common thought of our society as a whole. One of the most prevalent of these themes being that individual talent does not simply dissipate with age, but rather it grows in wisdom and perspective as time passes. Just as this theme is meant to dispel these specific misconceptions in both the creative realm and general society, it is also intended as a caveat of positive change for senior citizens & their allies, to dispel the myth about the ones who are entering their encore years with panache!
 
 
 This exhibit is a part of the The Fig Tree Project pop-up series, spotlighting various collections of art for a limited time in alternative spaces.

Galerie 1501, is located at 1501 Canal Street on the first floor of the historic Texaco building bordering Faouborg Treme & downtown New Orleans. HRI Properties has kindly donated this temporary exhibit space as a part of their mission to enhance the lives and sensibilities of their tenants, as well as, creatively enhance the current Canal Street Renaissance process.

“Seasoned en Vieux” has a synergy made up from varied disciplines; such as photography, studio art, studio art quilts, sculptures, muralists, and wearable art form manifested in the ingenious styling of Alfred Tumblin & Beesiyge Ogden. This team gives homage to a time where fine craftmanship & styling was vibrant & alive mixed with a modern twist! 

 

 

 

 

 

"White Goddess Coat"~Alfred Tumblin & Beesigye Ogden,artists

 Seventy-five percent of the twenty-nine artists featured are over the age of 60. This impressive representation of senior artists only exemplifies the thought that true artists never retire...they only become more seasoned.  Eight of the artists are under the age of 60 with our youngest being 17 &  several veterans are presented.  It highlights that an intergenerational vieux can blend easily when it come to art, that there is no reason to box in people, not matter the reason.
The exhibit will also feature pieces by New Orleans’ own, Terrence Osburne, Michele Lambert, "visual poet" artist Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney, artists Farris Armand & Sheila Phipps. Many of these works are city inspired pieces that reflect the extraordinary history and traditions that have set the city of New Orleans apart from anywhere else in the world.

This exhibit is a part of the The Fig Tree Project pop-up series, spotlighting various collections of art for a limited time in alternative spaces. "Seasoned en Vieux” will run through January 13, 2015.  Gallery hours are Monday – Friday 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., and by appointment.

Singing Our Song: Seasoned en Vieux exhibition at Gallerie 1501

 

Samples of some of the art that will be in a pop up gallerie commencing Dec 16th, 2014. 

 

This is a temporary exhibition to showcase multiple senior citizen working artist s through the kindness of HRI Properties until the permanent retail business set up shop.

 

This is a wonderful gesture from them that enhancing the lives & sensibilities of their tenants as well as this part of Canal Street undergoing a Renaissance.We've gotten a lot of positive responses from surrounding businesses as well as the tenants themselves.

 

Kudis to the artist who have contributed their lovely works to make Seasoned en Vieux happen. About 75% of the artists are over 60.  There is a cross section of others includedbased on their genre, new/emerging or established artists.  About 10% are disabled 50% female, etc

 

Seasoned en Vieux (A Seasoned View) has several layers, in part showing the world that 60 plus anybody is not dead.  And also that artists never retire, they simply become more seasoned.

 

We want to dispel the over-used, out-dated, stereotypical ideas ones including some seniors themselves, have about the process of growing older.

 

There is not one single solitary thing we the ones revisiting the 60s again, have to apologize for.  We do/shall/ must make it clear that it is up to us how we define ourselves.  As Sandra Berry, retire gallery owner of The Neighborhood Gallery and currently an art consultant turning 70 a couple of months ago say: "If we do not sing our own song, leaving it to someone else, they will never get it right"
