Freyberger Gallery Exhibitions

9/11 10th Anniversary Memorial Exhibition Ceremony and Exhibition

Honoring the 10th Anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, and  the heroes who have fallen, the families torn apart, and those volunteers and professional who helped us all

Event: A memorial event at Penn State Berks is being held on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 4 p.m. with guest speakers, music, and video.

Reception: A reception in the gallery follows immediately through 8 p.m and at the Jewish Cultural Center through 8:30 p.m.

In this historic multi-venue exhibition, art making is motivated by many factors that commenced with the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Due to the tremendous response from artists, the Freyberger Gallery has created two exhibitions:

• Part 1: Crisis and Reaction, September 11 through October 20
• Part 2: Response and Healing November 6 through December 15, 2011

This exhibit is a partnership between the Freyberger Gallery, Penn State Berks, the Jewish Cultural Center, Reading, PA, Penn State Lehigh Valley, and The Yocum Institute for Arts Education, Reading, PA.

A call-to-artists from Marilyn J. Fox, director, Freyberger Gallery brought over 80 submissions, with 40 artists selected, and over 80 works of art. Although the artists come from across the country, their shared experiences bring them together as a community. Some lost siblings, friends or spouses; some did not; some were working and living in or near the target zones; others, not. Some saw and smelled the burning structures and flesh; most watched events unfold on the television. Yet they shared the experience. They felt the pain, lost faith and trust, and were shattered. These artists focus on universally human themes

Anger, Shock, Fear, Loss, Pain, Disbelief, and Suspicion and themes of quieter, reflective explorations also emerge. These embrace reaffirmation of community and identity, healing, spirituality, resolve, and determination. The artists make these feelings, both positive and negative, tangible. They contextualized in paint, photography, brass, and video what needs to be studied, observed, and understood.

The Jewish Cultural Center: Tammy Mitgang, director, features work that explores the silence of post-9/11, the return to spirituality and prayer, and the pervasive suspicion in our post-9/11 world, with a conjunction reception September 11. Exhibit through Dec. 11.

Penn State Lehigh Valley: Gallery director Ann Lalik, will showcase art that combines themes of remembrance, newly established pride, strength and hope. Reception: Sept. 8, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Sept. 6 through Oct. 21, 2011. Reception: Sept. 8, 5:30 – 8 p.m.

The Yocum Institute for Arts Education: Susan Rohn director, will present a series of work that explores the consciousness of individuals who are left to pick up the pieces, as seen through artists working with collage and photography, Sept.9 through Oct. 20th. Reception: Sept. 9, 5 – 7 p.m.

Opening Ceremony will include several guest speakers, eye witnesses  and artists to discuss the crises of 9-11 and their reactions. A video by artist Scott Peehl, NYC called “Late for Work,” and music are planned for theopening ceremony. Other events, including a theatrical performance and art/healing workshops are scheduled.

Terror: Artists Respond marks the ten-year anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers and explores the range of psychological, social, and global ramifications of living in the age of terrorism. The work of American and Israeli artists includes photography, painting, installation, and objets d’art. The collection entire highlights the disquietude of life lived in the long shadow of terror. From Barry Frydlender’s disarticulated photographic architectures to Robert Kirschbaum’s epic abstractions, each piece offers a meditative counterpoint to news-ticker journalism’s quick and constant evocation of the last, current or imminent attack.
