West Village Apartments: Presents: Recording the Invisible: New Paintings by
Cynthia Grow. Plus, Live Music by Bobby Hinton & Friends!
Artist Bio: ³I repeatedly use my body as the subject to explores themes of
female identity and experience ­ the male gaze, objectification, fetishism,
eroticism, manipulation, isolation, longingŠDisplaying myself this way,
paradoxically, I put myself in a position of control, reverse the balance of
power and play on the ambiguity of the objectifying gazeŠ² Cynthia Grow
successfully amalgamates both text and image in a series of new paintings.
Grow believes there are multiple methods to viewing a works of art.  She
believes that by merging linguistic models with visual models, challenges
the viewer to question the ³act of viewing.² Consequently Grow¹s paintings
offer, ³an exposé on questioning the mastery of display: about manipulation
and blocking, demonstrating and disturbing both visual communication and the
power between the genders.²
 
Grow has shown in group exhibits in galleries and public spaces throughout
the US and Italy. Educated in contemporary and ancient painting techniques
Grow has received certificates and degrees from: Accademia d¹ Arte, in
Florence; National Academy of Design School of Fine Art, in NYC ,
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and the University of
South Florida, in Tampa.  She is influenced by eminent painters such as:
Frida Kahlo, Egon Schiele, and Alice Neel as well as distinguished poets:
Pablo Neruda and Octavio Paz. For More information please contact: Cecily
Ferguson at cecily at westvillageapts.com or 919-682-3690. West Village is

The Transom Gallery: Presents ³Evidence: The Life and Death of Gilbert
Barber.² An Art Show examining Police Brutality in NC. In 2001, Gilbert
Barber was killed by Guilford County Deputy Thomas Gordy. After a 5 year
struggle on the part of Gil Barber's parents to bring the evidence of police
brutality to the public, their civil case was recently denied admission to
the courts. On October 20th they will get their chance. With a collaborative
team of artists and activists, we will bring you the story of Gil's life,
the story (as far as it can be constructed) of Gil's death, and this story's
context within the larger context of police brutality in North Carolina and
in the United States in general.
 
This show will present physical evidence never heard in any courtroom, as
well as "artistic evidence" by local artists, shedding light on the societal
context of police brutality. This art exhibit is a collaborative effort
between Durham and Greensboro community activists and artists, including
Butch Stewart, Gil Barber's father. It will be shown in Durham: October
20th-November 6th, 2006 at Transom Gallery and in Greensboro: November
10th-November 27th, Place TBA. For information of the Transom Gallery in
Durham, see www.thetransomgallery.com. For questions or more information,
e-mail evidence4change at gmail.com, or call 336.209.4641 or 919.618.0442. The
Transom Gallery is located in Downtown Durham at 305 E. Chapel Hill St.

The Designer Emporium: Excerpt from The Durham News: "It's going to be very
nice," said proprietor-to-be Katherine Neal. "Very upscale." The Emporium,
at 335 W. Main St., is going to lease floor space to "vendors from all kinds
of fields," Neal said. "It's going to be new as well as gently used things."
Among those fields are designer bridal wear, fine furniture and an art
gallery. Neal said she has been in business in the Cary-Morrisville area for
some time, but also looking for an opportunity in inner Durham. "Because of
all the great renovation and growth coming in there, and I just thought it
would be apropos for this time. ... I don't think we could have found a
better spot. I'm really hoping it can be successful." 335 W. Main St.,
678-8564.
