Gisella Sorrentino's first solo Photography show in New York


Transitory

Transitory
Gisella Sorrentino

April 22 – May 2, 2015

Opening reception: Wednesday, April 22, 6 – 8 pm

chashama Gallery 461
461 West 126th Street, New York, NY 10027


Gallery hours: Mon-Sat, 12-6pm
By appointment: email gisellasorrentino@gmail.com

From April 22 through May 2, chashama Gallery 461 will host an exhibition of the photographic work by Gisella Sorrentino.

The exhibition will present selected images produced by Ms. Sorrentino for her ongoing series, Bodies in Space,
which conflates the physical movements of her subjects with the environments that surround them.

Ms. Sorrentino has a unique style by which the ‘body’ and the ‘space’ are equally her subject: their separate textures combining through her artfully unpremeditated double exposures. The result is a dynamic tension of various opposites ranging from nature- urban and body–mind to inner self–outside world.

Each series of photographs visually captures fleeting glimpses of that dancer’s spontaneous emotional reaction to their individual environmental space.

Transitory
is a multimedia and multi-sensory installation.

Along with 16 framed photographs (silver gelatin, inkjet, and digital C-prints),
images will be projected onto a “Living Screen” - a semi-transparent fabric hung from the ceiling - for a dynamically fluid portal of light.

The images will guide observers on a journey through the various stages of life, each represented as colors and textures of seasons.
The goal is to transform the ancestral memory of each life-stage into an eternally refreshed, spring-like experience.

On April 22 at 7pm, the exhibit’s opening will feature a live performance of dancer Collin Ranf improvising to images of the “Living Screen” and environmental sounds.
On May 1st at 7pm, the exhibit’s closing will feature poem reading by Maurita Cardone.

The exhibition is curated by Eleonora Calvelli and Alessandra Carbone.
For further information, please contact:

We look forward to seeing you at the show!

Hello everyone and Happy Holiday season! 



First of all, please excuse us for not sending out any correspondence soon after the last 2 events of this summer, it´s been a very busy summer and fall   : ))

Thank You to Everyone who came to our Gelato! Art Salon fundraisers on August 10th and 31st!!!



Both shows were extremely successful in regards to turn out and fundraising. We now have a little extra to put towards our shows of the 2015 season! And lots of wine and prosecco left over! We appreciate all the wonderful performers and audiences who came out to celebrate life with us, 

There are some photos from those nights on the website that were taken of that night, Please visit them

Gisella Sorrentino 
Barbara Fragogna
Vanessa Longo
Maximilian Balduzzi
Fabiana Yvonne Lugli Martinez

They are all Italians who are pursuing their dreams and doing art in New York.

We have big changes coming up in 2015 that will make Gelato! Art Collective much more efficient and interactive. Our plan has always been to be the one stop you can come to and find all kinds of info on things that make artists lives happier, more productive and prosperous.And how we can all do business with each other and with the world at large.

As our tag line says, one of our main goals will be to connect local artists and businesses, and 2015 will be the year to paint that picture clearly. 

We are still in the planning stages, so all we can truly say is that we will update you with the changes and news as it develops. However, one of the most important things occurring will be a redesigning of our website and partnerships with other businesses that we met during this last year who wish to work with us and grow with us.


Thank you for your love and support and we look forward to many beautiful moments of art, love, and a prosperous year for all! 


Happy Holidays and a Very Happy New Year!!!

Gisella Sorrentino 


presents her next photography exhibition


@ The Secret Theatre 

 Opening Reception of

"HE"

Photo Exhibition

by 

Gisella Sorrentino



Friday April 4th, 2014

The Secret Theatre
Long Island City, NY

 

In occasion of the performance "LAST CHANCE", Gisella Sorrentino will open her show "HE", a selection of her most recent work, on Friday April 4th from 6-8pm at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City, NY. 

The exhibition will be on view till April 25th.

The male dancers in her photographs were invited to release their bodies and abandon them-self to their inner emotions. 

In Arturo (2011), the dancer improvises on feelings of oppression and suffocation while leaning against a wall in Brooklyn. In Collin and Nicola (2013), encircled by flowers, the dancers surrender to the sensual provocation of nature. 

In the photographs, their vulnerability stands as a metaphoric space in which we need to get lost in order to find ourselves again.

CODICE ROSSO THEATRE DEBUTS NEW CHOREOGRAPHY @ BAM FISHER

GELATO! Art Collective friends


CODICE ROSSO THEATRE 

are debuting their exciting new Choreographic Works @ the prestigious new cultural event venue 
BAM Fisher!



We greatly support and appreciate the hard work and talent of Codice Rosso Theatre, 
treat yourself and your friends to an exciting evening of Dance and Music!


Dance Performance at it's best!

Here are the details, in their own words:

"Dearest friends, fans, colleagues and dance/theatre enthusiasts,

Codice Rosso Theatre invites you to join us at the BAM Fisher on the evening of June 28th to experience 

DISONNECT: a journey into the depths of the human psyche told through dance.

From the ladies who brought you I Am What I Am Not, Unbearable, Reft, and Reft II comes CodRosso's next exploration of the most intimate corners of the human experience.  DISCONNECT will take you on a very unique ride, following the delicately woven story of six women who are searching 

for each other while searching for their own identities in the cold desolation of the modern age.

Through performance, Codice Rosso aims to pose a number of questions: What do we really know about ourselves? 

What happens when we can no longer find each other?  
In a world that can feel so cold and dark, how do we find the light in other people? 


 Being an international ensemble of female artists--including dancers from Italy, Japan, and the United States--
we use our immensely diverse technical backgrounds and personal stories to answer these questions through a rather unique, multi-cultural lens.

Putting the textbook explanation aside: it's an hour-long wild ride filled with really cool music and some extraordinary movement!
We have a story to share, and we want to take you along for the journey.  Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind evening of dance, drama, and artistic upheaval!"

Gisella Sorrentino's Solo Photo Exhibition "BODIES IN SPACE" in Italy -  May 25-July 30

Picture
Gisella Sorrentino from "Bodies in Space"

FRIDAY  May 25th 2012
ORE 19-21
INAUGURATION OF PHOTO EXHIBITION
BODIES IN SPACE





Gisella Sorrentino

with a dance performance by
Giorgia Minisini


Gisella Sorrentino in her work is a 'tireless experimenter, setting no limit to the wonders that photography has on her curious soul, visionary, but also very strict.     
The works selected for this occasion therefore reflect a specific stage of her research, a phase, that is firmly guided by the real, both from a technical standpoint (the use of analog and natural light) and that of the theme of her pictures (the physicality of the meeting of the  human body and the environment).



The shots of Bodies in Space, explains the photographer, are born from the meeting and by the 'spontaneous interaction of two main elements: the body and the emotional space of the dancer, and the physical space in which the performer is immersed, and that in turn inspires the movement. A third, but crucial, element of interaction, which is also completely spontaneous, it is purely mechanical: at each step, it is superimposed -   through a double exposure - following the first,   portraying the 'physical environment, this time without the human element.

Hi Everyone!

I've been selected to represent my work in the final Art Alumni Exhibition in the 75th Anniversary of my high school, The High School of Art & Design. The beautiful old school building where I spent 4 incredible years as a high school student learning about art and life is scheduled to be demolished this summer, to make way for the brand new, ugly ill designed building next door that is called progress these days.

I'm showing on of the new pieces from my Goddess Returns Series.


Opening Thursday June 7th, Viewing hours Friday June 8th 10- 6pm Saturday June 9th 11-6pm, Sunday June 10th 12-5 pm

So, if you know the school, or went there of if you're in the area come by and check the show on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, it'll be up about 2 weeks I think.

Love to All and keep the Art Alive!

Gelato! Friend Lara Pacilio presents new artwork at the Yes! Gallery April 28th- May 20th

Lara Pacilio "Equality Now"April 28th - May 20th, 2012

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 28th from 4 - 10PM


Yes Gallery is proud to present “Equality Now” a benefit and exhibition featuring works by Lara Pacilio, curated by Lesley Doukhowetzky.


Rather than showing women as elegant figures with attractive poses Lara Pacilio takes on a whole different perspective in which she exposes what women often go through in everyday life. With the use of unconventional tools such as iron and covered wood Pacilio is able to create pieces that are sensual yet bold, graphic yet subdued with images showing the pains and struggles of women.

At an early age Pacilio traveled around the world with her family, spending parts of her childhood in Africa. It becomes evident that her experiences traveling have been used as a tool for inspiration. Pacilio tells us not only about herself and her experiences but also about a unique concept in a language that is sometimes extremely explicit, depicting problems linked to the gender differences which are still numerous and of difficult solutions. 

Women are defined legally equal to men, but this is an ideological attempt to enslave them at higher levels of society and the job market. Freedom for women is not living the role men have assigned to them but to create mutual respect based on equality. 

Art sales and donations will go towards achieving legal and systemic change that addresses violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world.

Gisella Sorrentino's New Blog features Dr John and Scenes from New Orleans - March/April

Picture
At Home with Dr John
Gisella Sorrentino has been very busy lately, as have many of Gelato!'s Art Collectives artists and friends. She's overhauled her new website, and started a blog about her photography adventures!


Just back from a trip to New Orleans, she sat down and spoke to the legendary blues musician Dr John, visited the popular swing dance scene near Marigny, and got up at 6am to cover Mardi Gras Day.

Here's an excerpt from her blog:


"If you feel to swing, New Orleans is the place! Almost every night there is a dance session. Even if you are not a swing dancer it’s amusing to tune in and follow the rhythm of great local jazz bands.


Beautiful dressed girls and guys, styled like the 30s with some contemporary funk touch, are floating in small smoky jazz club with low lights.
  If you are willing to learn swing dance, there are..."    To read more please go to Gisella's blog!

Interview about Virginie Sommet's work in GladysditBlog

Picture
Virginie Sommet is a work of Art by herself. This passionate woman escaped the BCBG "Ghetto" (Preppy Ghetto) where she grew up to be able to truly exist.  Originally from Normandy, graced with multiple talents, Ms Sommet chose art to express her quest of a different society. Utopia is good.  Interview.

Where does your engagement come from? Your desire to be Elsewhere ?

I think that my engagement is coming from the fact I am coming from a ghetto, the one of the Catholic practitioners and bourgeoisie. In my child’s bedroom it was 31 Fahrenheit. I was not allowed to watch TV. So when I escaped to Paris at 19 years old it was a shock. I realized that life did not have to be “navy blue” and “bottle green”(“Brook Brothers/Wasp/Preppy’s style”) as I knew it until then. Lisieux , was populated by Caucasians only. There was no other ethnic group. I was feeling closed in.

Creamhotel® is excited to announce its participation to Fountain Art Fair New York with the exhibition project Haired, successfully presented in Miami during Art Basel 2011 at LMNT Gallery.

Haired is a multimedia group show developed around the theme of hair. The exhibition explores hair as a concept: a synonym of identity; the most malleable part of the body; a tool available for creativity and a medium for artistic practice. Hair defines facial, physical, psychological, social and cultural expression. It’s a channel through which the personal and collective self, find its way out into the world.

Through installations, photography, sculpture, painting and performance, artists explore the concept of hair in multiple ways and through different angles, highlighting how hair serves as a marker of personality, social status, age, racial and cultural identification, political and spiritual beliefs, gender and sexual orientation. Hair expresses people’s identity to the extent that different hairstyles represent a person’s different phases in life. Ultimately, Haired wants to present a fresh outlook on societies, cultures, trends and lifestyles through an unusual point of view.

Creamhotel will create a brand new site-specific installation for a 500 sqf. booth within Fountain Art Fair’s amazing new location, the landmark 69th Regiment Armory in the Gramercy Park area of New York. We will get inspired by the genuine, fresh creativity and playful artistry that distinguishes Fountain Art Fair.

Artists:
 Manu Hell + Paul Lucchesi + Francesco Masci + Joseph Meloy + Maxine Nienow + Beatrice Schleyer + Virginie Sommet + Kevin Vast

Gisella Sorrentino @ Nord Art, Germany

Dear Friends & Supporters,

I'm back in New York after a long trip in Europe and I would like to update you about the exhibition in Budelsdorf (Kiel,Germany).
NordArt was a beautiful discovery: the show is hosting more two hundreds artists in an old and huge ex-foundry surrounded with a wonderful scuplture park. The quality of the art works (installation, scuplture, paintings, photography, video, art performances) was very high and the art community very generous and warm.

We had a great opening day. Almost 100 artists and more than 2000 guests came to celebrate this day with us. The sun was shining and we had music, performances and catering in the park. 
For those of you who couldn't join us this day NordArt2011 produced a virtual tour through the sculpture park and the exhibition areas.  The tour can be seen online under the following link: http://www.kunstwerk-carlshuette.de/en/virtual_tour.html

You can also take a look at the this video of the opening linked below:

(around minute 4:00 you can see my pieces)

Enjoy the rest of the summer!

All the best,



Gisella
