Silicon Fine Art Gallery, 139 N 3rd Street. Philadelphia, PA 19106 announces its next exhibition BEHIND THE SCENE/SEEN: AN ARTISTIC RESPONSE TO THE HOLOCAUST, featuring 21 photomontages by Linda Dubin Garfield, April 27 to May 18, 2010. The Opening Reception is Tuesday, April 27, from 6:30 to 8 PM. Come and see this profound body of work.

The idea for a series of 21 photomontages based on Garfield’s trip was born in the narrow streets of Prague, in the rolling hills of Hungary and in the darkened cells of Terezin.  Who could not know what was happening? Who could not see what was going on? What illusions did people accept to mask the Holocaust that was happening outside their windows? Where did the Jewish people go when they disappeared? The series Behind the Scene/Seen deals with the issues embedded in this landscape: reality/illusion, past/present, and history/future generations.

“The juxtaposition of old with the new provides the viewer with a haunting reminder of what came before and elicits reactions which lie beneath our everyday conscious awareness.” - Christine Stoughton, Artist and Seminar Leader at the Violette De Mazia Foundation.

“This series (of photomontages) is haunting and amazing and the talent and thoughtfulness behind it is impressive. So seemingly simple and so profound!” - Emilie S. Passow, Ph.D., Director, Certificate Program in Medical Humanities, Department of English and Philosophy, and the Judaic Studies Program, Drexel University College of Arts and Sciences.

“This striking series of photographs of Eastern Europe with superimposed historical-Holocaust photographs illustrates graphically the loss of communities and, particularly of communal institutions. The observer was struck by a keen sense of what was lost- individual lives and a culture rich in reality and potential…” - Saul Wachs, Ph.D., Rosaline B. Feinstein Professor of Education and Liturgy and Chair of the Education Department- Gratz College.

Our city is a culturally rich milieu on a regular basis but the beginning of 2010 will be particularly art-laden. Philadelphia will host several arts conference in the opening months of 2010. Within three months of each other, there will be a major international print festival Philagrafika2010 and an international print conference Southern Graphic Conference, a multiple fiber exhibition FiberPhiladelphia and a major convention of ceramic arts National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts.

The art calendar starts on January 1 with an exhibit organized by Linda Dubin Garfield, printmaker and president of smART business consulting, who decided to organize a group show juxtaposing art work created using the diverse media of paper, fiber and clay which were going to be highlighted in different conferences and conventions in the next few months. She wanted to allow the artists to find their voices through the excitement inspired by their unique materials and processes as well as to interact with other artists in different media.

The exhibit features artists Linda Dubin Garfield, Mickie Rosen and Hinda Schuman presenting works on paper; fiber artists Susan Leonard, Kathryn Pannepacker and Elsa Wachs; and ceramic artists Lynne Berman, Carol Klein and Marci Selig Smoger. The uniqueness of this show is the opportunity to experience the harmonious presentation of art made from the diverse materials of paper, fiber and clay. It serves as an introduction to the forthcoming larger exhibits to follow.

Let’s take advantage of all the wonderful art exhibits, panel discussions, and special programs available in the next few months!!
