Christos Palames has had a prominent role in the rise of the disability rights movement since the 1970s. Paralyzed in a college wrestling match in 1967, Palames life twisted into many shapes until, through his experience with dismissive prejudice, he found the path of resistance & advocacy, founder of the STAVROS Center for Independent Living. He used photography & storytelling to record the folk history of the disability rights movement; since 2020, he now uses expressive drawing to speak out.
Saturday afternoon, October 19, Palames will talk about his experiences, his residence at the Esalen Institute at its 1960s founding days in the Big Sur, Californian, his introduction to life-long friendships to his cohorts in the movement, his triumphant struggle for human rights, his founding lead in the STAVROS Independent Living project. |

The Non-Moment
and Subjective Time artworks by Matt Cohen Large paintings with collage and wire projections
October Matt Cohen, a Vermont artist, entered painting with Minimalist values and has evolved to Expressionist inner narratives in large paintings that feature collage images embedded in paint and dangerous wire extrusions on the surface. During this exhibit, he suggests mindfulness to three things: the out-of-time experience, the sense of process history of each work, and the intrusion of memory. Experience three galleries filled with large paintings.

AMY JOHNQUEST: WILD YONDER
|
As one could only expect Johnquest brings an immersive installation of super-static paper airplanes. It is an exercise in releasing my art history to the ethers, making art out of art, and letting go.
October 31, she invites us to a NEVA fundraising Halloween Experience in Costumes⏤Hullo! She explains of the installation, "Each airplane was once a painting or drawing that I saved because it contained some strong connection or sentiment at some time important to me over my 65 years. Each plane is transforming, launching itself into the unknown." |
