SAVE THE DATE: OPENING June 18, 2009 at 6.30pm at
Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA)
1865 Broadway, 61st street New York
RE… Re-Cycle, Re-Create, Re-Imagine
An Exhibition by Vickie Frémont


The exhibition will be visible, non-stop, to pedestrians of all ages, ethnicities, sexes, and economic levels 24hour/7days from June 18, through September 30, 2009.

The project, which is sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA), will combine a series of recycling workshops and an art exhibition of puppets representing each African country. MOBIA is delighted to be the site of the exhibition and workshops. Since contemporary theological discourse touches upon the spiritual underpinnings of the ecological movement, namely that we, as stewards of God’s good creation, are morally bound to conserve and preserve our physical world in all its beauty much as we are bound to live reverently with one another, the RE… project is perfectly suited to MOBIA’s mission to explore the artistic and cultural heritage of the Bible in all its manifestations.
This series of events takes place as Africa celebrates fifty years of independence. It aims at expanding knowledge about Africa and deepening the love we share for the continent.
We are also celebrating the 15th anniversary of first all-race democratic elections. In mid-April of this year, South Africa will go to the polls for just the fourth time since the end of Apartheid to elect a new government – a momentous event that confronts both new possibilities and new difficulties for the country. It is the best of times, and yet the most challenging of times for this country , we should put light on South Africa

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
