Drawing is Anne Muntges’ key to understanding the world she lives in – urban landscapes filled with concrete, buildings and bursts of manicured green. She captures the evidence of people in the places they occupy by drawing the artifacts they leave behind, from discarded signs and manhandled objects to spray-painted opinions. Her images are real moments, sometimes fractured and altered, caught quickly in snapshot. They focus on words that are handwritten, carved and sometimes printed. The marks we leave in the world tell a rich story of who we are and how we existed. Her drawings help her to understand that and freeze them for a moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Interior Monologues<\/h3>\n

Excited to be included in this show curated by Mary Birmingham at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey! Open from February 22- June 16, 2019.<\/p>\n

This group exhibition explores the real, imagined, or implied narratives connected to interior spaces. Several of the artists in\u00a0Interior Monologues<\/em>\u00a0depict real places\u2014some populated by specific characters\u2014while others invent new places based on their own experience or imagination.\u00a0Many of the works suggest hidden histories or embedded memories and emotions. The interiors devoid of people are like empty stage sets waiting for actors to animate them. Whether public or private, all of these interior settings are activated by the presence (or absence) of humans.<\/p>\n

Interior Monologues<\/em>\u00a0is a multi-media show, incorporating painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, video, and site-specific installation. Participating artists are:\u00a0Matt Bollinger, Erin Diebboll, Susan Leopold, Dana Levy, Summer McCorkle, Anne Muntges<\/strong>, Casey Ruble, and Paul Wackers.<\/p>\n

Women artists take on the world at Main Street Arts<\/h3>\n

The bulk of art history is a testament to what man makes of his experience in this strange mortal coil. But Main Street Art’s current exhibit, “Trying to Understand the World,” reveals two examples of the female gaze \u2014 one is a literal look at the sights of the city, and one is storytelling based in metaphor.<\/p>\n

ME, MY PEN & I<\/h3>\n

September 9th – October 7th<\/p>\n

The Western New York Book Arts Center (WNYBAC) presents\u00a0Me, My Pen and I<\/em>, an exhibition by Anne Muntges, on view from September 9th<\/sup> through October 7th<\/sup>, 2016.<\/strong> An opening reception to celebrate the exhibition will be held on Friday, September 9th<\/sup> from 6 p.m. \u2013 9 p.m. at 468 Washington St. in Buffalo. This event is free and open to the public. Muntges will be leading a free Edition Assistance Printing Workshop on Saturday September 10th<\/sup> from 12 \u2013 2 p.m. at WNYBAC. Pre-registration is required to participate. Click\u00a0here\u00a0to sign up!<\/p>\n

The exhibition features 52 new drawings following Muntges\u2019 transition from Buffalo to New York City. These drawings document her walks through the neighborhood and the marks left by others: graffiti and signage. Unlike Muntges\u2019 other work, which has been an exploration of intimate interior spaces, this project is external process.\u00a0Something about the city has forced her to adapt to looking beyond the space she occupies to start to find how she fit into a greater whole.\u00a0Drawing is her connection to the world.<\/p>\n

Art-in-Buildings is pleased to announce the newest exhibition in the lobby of 125 Maiden Lane: Work from Home, featuring works by Anne Muntges and Alan Ruiz.<\/strong> Muntges’ and Ruiz’s sculptural interventions create architectural spaces, appropriating familiar objects and materials to redefine traditional understandings of the home and office. Drawing on the diametrically opposed domestic and corporate environments, the artists create disorienting reconstructions of familiar spaces.In Muntges’ highly detailed installations, she develops spaces that both align with and challenge ideas of the home. Skewed Perspectives is an installation of furniture, objects, knickknacks, and textiles that are typically found in domestic spaces. Muntges converts each element of the installation into a cohesive, immersive drawing by enveloping the familiar objects in a sheath of hatch mark patterns. Her labor-intensive process (she draws every line in the work by hand) expands drawing into three dimensions, flattens objects into two dimensions, and conflates the physical with the imaginary. Muntges manipulates items of comfort in order to bring moments of wonder and unease into a quotidian environment.Alan Ruiz’s practice explores the ways in which the built environment reproduces and reflects structures of power. Engaging architecture as both a perceptual and political medium, his work questions the spatial dynamics between a work of art and its container. At 125 Maiden Lane, Ruiz presents a modular system of glass and aluminum units. Seemingly benign forms, they recall Modernist curtain-walls and office partitions, ubiquitous architecture within Manhattan’s Financial District. In recent years, organizations have redefined their physical identity due to a rise in decentralized labor, doing away with corner offices and cubicles in favor of “open plan” workspaces. In these spaces, glass walls have become omnipresent, heralded as promoting collaboration among employees and “bright and welcoming” interiors. Yet, for all its promise of cooperation, glass may remain an apparatus of surveillance.Anne Muntges is an artist who makes highly detailed drawings, prints, and installation art based on concepts of the home. Born in Denver and based in Brooklyn, her work has been exhibited in New York at the New York Foundation for the Arts and Lilac Museum Steamship; in Chicago at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art; in Buffalo at the Burchfield Penney Art Center; and in Knoxville as a part of the Southern Graphics Council International Conference. She received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from the University at Buffalo. Muntges was awarded a residency at Anchor Graphics in 2010 and at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in 2013, and received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Printmaking\/Drawing\/Artist Books in 2014. In 2015, Muntges was awarded a fellowship and artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center and Ox-Bow.Alan Ruiz (b. 1984, Mexico City, Mexico) is an artist living and working in New York City. His work addresses the intersection of site-reflexivity, architectural discourse, and urban policy. He received an MFA from Yale University, a BFA from Pratt Institute, and is a 2015\u20132016 fellow in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. His work has been shown both nationally and internationally, including exhibitions at The Queens Museum, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Abrons Art Center, Y Gallery, Horatio Jr., The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and Johannes Vogt Gallery. His writing has been featured in TDR (The Drama Review, MIT Press), InVisible Culture: an Electronic Journal for Visual Culture, and BOMB Magazine. In 2015 Ruiz was an Artist-in-Residence with the Youth Insights Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art.Work from Home is curated by Jennie Lamensdorf and sponsored by the Time Equities Inc. (TEI) Art-in-Buildings. TEI is committed to enriching the experience of our properties through the Art-in-Buildings Program, an innovative approach that brings contemporary art by emerging and mid-career artists to non-traditional exhibition spaces in the interest of promoting artists, expanding the audience for art, and creating a more interesting environment for our building occupants, residents, and their guests.For press inquiries please contact: Nikki Buccina, QUINN | nbuccina@quinn.pr | 212.868.1900 x387<\/em>http:\/\/teiartinbuildings.com\/exhibitions\/group\/72<\/address>\n
