At 18 years old, he was a security guard at the Nuremberg prison for the trials.   In 2008 working from his vivid visual memory Nathan did a series of drawing of the Nuremberg prison and the occupants.  These drawings are in the Holocaust Resource Center Archives at Queensborough Community College.  In addition the Center has over 200 of Nathan’s drawings of the Lower East Side.  Among other things in his colorful life when Nathan was sitting on the sidewalk drawing he met Salvador Dali who signed the back of Nathan's drawing.

EXHIBIT: Artwork from the Young Artists Program and after school art programs of the Educational Alliance
Exhibition dates: May 12 - May 26, 2010                                                      
About the exhibit: The Young Artists Program is cornerstone of the Art School that was established in 1895.  The orginal aim of the Art School was to provide instruction to adolescents and young adults so that they could apply to 'uptown art schools.'   While today the art school is known for its adult continuing education program the Young Artists Program(YAP) is of the same quality that gave instruction and inspiration to artists such as Ben Shahn, Moses Soyer, Peter Blume, Jacob Epstein and other artists who got their start at the Alliance.  The YAP is supported in part by funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowments for the Arts.

      

EXHIBIT: Intersections: Corey D'Augustine, Marsha Melnick, Gar Wang sculpture, painting, fiber art.  Curated by Cora Cohen
Exhibition Dates: February 25 to March 18, 2010
Reception Opening: Thursday, February 25, 6-8pm
About the Artists
Corey D'Augustine's work examines the intersection of formalism and everyday life.  Social and economic inequality is endemic and a function of social systems that consistently reward greed.  For D'Augustine art is a model for a personal withdrawal from these systems to maintain a positive influence on the people and environment around us.  This model aims to erase preconceived distinctions in favor of the direct experience of materials and their formal qualities.

Marsha Melnick's recent paintings occupy a terrain that navigates between figuration and abstraction. In her response to the natural world, color, composition, gesture, and mark-making play supporting roles in the intuitively orchestrated development of her work. Real and invented landscape elements intertwine and provide a jumping-off point for the artist's deeper exploration of imagery.

GAR WANG works wiith raw materials, Gar's wall sculptures reflect her passion for animals and a lifestyle closely entwined with nature.  She works with silk, bamboo, hemp, as well as wool from rabbit, sheep, goat, dog, alpaca, and camel combining these soft materials with stainless steel, wood, metal and clay.  By contrasting these raw materials she brings out their inherent characteristics as she explores their texture, form and light.

The exhibition and opening reception are free and open to the public. This exhibit is made possible, in part, with funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

 

"The Better Half"

An exhibit of artwork by artists married to artists'                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Curated by David Gibson and Jeffery Rakien Nomura  On Exhibit: September 10 to October 29, 2009 at the Ernest Rubenstein Gallery
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10, 6-8pm
Artists in the exhibit: Chris Bors and Ketta Ioannidou, Daniel Davidson and Tricia Keightley Jennifer Burbank and Chris Coffin, Linda Ganjian and Jesse Lambert, Liz-N-Val, Donald Porcaro and Leslie Wayne
About the exhibit: Beginning in the 20th century many professional artists married other artists. While in the first half of the century it was unusual, with a few outstanding examples such as Georgia O\'Keefe and Alfred Stieglitz, Frieda Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and Robert and Sonia Delaunay. As woman gained more equality the number of successful artists couples greatly increased. Now in the 21st Century it is not uncommon for artists to be married to artists.
            Every few years there is an exhibit of \'artist-couples\' of well established contemporary artists or of famous 20th century artist-couples. Our exhibit includes emerging artists, many of whom are just entering the tricky path of navigating career, art, home and partnership with a spouse in the same competitive career. In our exhibit neither artist of the couple is significantly more successful than the other. Their artwork is independent and demonstrates a distinct vision, yet they are also comfortable with collaborating. Are these arti sts defining a new way to navigate art, love and passion?  This exhibit is made possible by funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

 

 

 

  

  

  

  

"Double Portrait"Photographs of couples by June Rovenger  
On Exhibit: September 10 to October 29, 2009 at the Whittaker Photo Gallery
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10, 6-8pm.  June Rovenger, has focused on portraiture photography in recent years, including the double portrait. Throughout history the double portrait has been intriguing; the image of two people proposes narrative issues for the viewer. What is the relationship of the two people in the painting or photography? Why are they depicted together? What is the relationship of each p erson to the artist /photographer?

Exhibit: Painting by Elias Newman
Dates of exhibit: July 13 to August 7, 2009  
The artist: Elias Newman, 1903 -1999, studied at the Educational Alliance Art School and later returned to teach. Newman was at the Alliance during its ‘golden age, "fellow students included, Peter Blume, Moses Soyer, and Chaim Gross. His work is in museums in the United States and Israel. The Rubin Museum in Tel-Aviv,Israel hosted a retrospective and catalogue in 1996.
       Many of the paintings on exhibit were painted in Rockport Massachusetts, a favorite summer place for artists. Newman captures the rugged coastline of New England and charming views of the port and lighthouses. Newman was the last of the first generation of Eretz Israel artists.
       Newman's work is represented in the collections of the National Museum of American Art of the Smithsonian Institution, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, San Francisco Museum of Art, among many others in the United States and Israel.

EXHIBIT: "Snippets Samplings Static"

Curated by Cora Cohen
Exhibition dates: March 4 to April 10, 2009
Reception: Sunday, March 8, 3- 5pm
Artists in the exhibit: Billy Copley, Jason Duval, Andrew Guenther, Jac Lahav, Max Razdow, James Rosenthal, Susan Shaw, Jo-Jo Sherrow, Ana Wolovick, Haeri Yoo, Curated by Cora Cohen

With the end of modernity and the loss of absolute ideals, faced with a sense of fluctuating values, instability, in a context of incessant questioning, reconsideration, how do artists make work?
      Configured largely as mental rather than physical spaces, the paintings, drawings, and objects in snippets samplings static draw from our world of popular culture and art history. In these works, images are not lifted from the \"real\" world as in the collage and ready-made of the 20th century where the cigarette package was cut and pasted down, and the urinal reconvened. Rather, the images, forms, and objects in this exhibition are constructed, painted, drawn, even rendered-some tenderly and with care, others in an off-hand fashion. Familiar graphics and quotidian images are repackaged utilizing various modernist techniques and genres-Abstract Expressionism, American Pop Art of the sixties, Goth, and German art of the eighties through to the present.
       Eccentric, extraneous elements in the guise of erased zones, unfinished parts, and counter-textualities interrupt the graphics, images, and forms first deployed, altering and re-contextualizing them, interfering with their meanings. For these artists the visual is not a method with which to distribute already-made statements but the medium of those statements, porous and subject to destabilization. The viewer becomes sensitized to a unity of form and content, an important concern for a time in which work may be thoroughly spirited yet heedless of the power that the unity of form and content projects outside of a staged art world.

Shifting Boundaries & Culture of the Lower East Side
Photographs by Lahary Pittman
Exhibition dates: Jan. 7 - Feb. 11, 2009
Reception: Wed., Jan. 7, 6-8pm
This exhibit is a contemporary photo essay on the changing Lower East Side. Pittman follows in the path of generations of documentary photographers who since the late 19th century have chronicled life on the lower east side. Jacob Riis documented the squalor of tenement life at the beginning at the turn of the century; Ben20Shahn (an alumnus of the Educational Alliance) and others documented street life in the 1930's and 40's; Rebecca Lepkoff (another alum) documented the changes in the 1950's an1960's.
       Shifting Boundaries catalogues the LES at yet another turning point. The Lower East Side primarily made up of poor and working class residents is rapidly seeing new luxury high-rise apartments and hotels being built on the site of former tenements. Expensive restaurants, hip bars, designer boutiques and art galleries are squeezing into ten foot wide storefronts that formerly housed family operated small business for decades.
In addition to the temporal ambivalence of the black and white photographs, the visual style is characterized by antique toning serving to blur the boundaries of the 35mm documentary form with the fine art palette. The aim is to preserve and re-dialogue urban muralism, street photography and their formal elements.

Exhibit: What Surrounds Us: Finding and Making Home

ARTISTS: Keliy Anderson-Staley, Monica Carrier, Matthew Cowan, Melissa Cowper-Smith, Julie Glauert, Lee Hunter, Elaine Kaufmann, Michal Pashtan, Saul Robbins, Nicole Tschampel

Exhibited: Jan. 7 to Feb. 11, 2009
This exhibition examines the elements that build a home and explores the various ways people use these elements to find and make home. Each artist in the exhibit has a different artistic focus, but all draw inspiration from a different aspect of home. By gathering these various reflections in one place, this exhibition aims not to build a complete vision of home, but instead to create a space that invites meditation on this concept. The exhibit includes drawings, photographs paintings and sculpture.

Because of the Educational Alliance's history in assisting immigrants in New York to create a new home here, it is an exciting and fitting host for this show. The Alliance remains a familiar place for many New Yorkers, a temporary home throughout the day in many people\'s lives. By including a combination of local and International artists, this exhibition welcomes a global dialogue and will hopefully widen the Educational Alliance's audience. [back to top]

Exhibit: Metal-Morphosis II

Exhibited: Nov. 12 to Dec. 30, 2008

An exhibit of metal sculpture by artists associated with the welding studio at The Educational Alliance. The exhibit celebrates the 10th anniversary of the renovation of the metal shop and first Metal-Morphosis exhibit in 1998.

Photographs of the Lower East Side, 1937 to 1957

"This exhibit in the Whittaker Center features photographs of life on the Lower East Side taken during the gradual change from a community composed of primarily Eastern European immigrants to an ethnically diverse neighborhood. Lepkoff's photographs capture the rich mix of street life providing a vivid panoramic portrait of the Lower East Side when very few photographers were documenting the neighborhood.

Rebecca Lepkoff has been eloquently documenting life on the Lower East Side since 1937 when she became involved with the Photo League. The 2006 publication of her monograph Life on the Lower East Side: Photographs by Rebecca Lepkoff, 1937-1950 , has revived interest in her vintage street photographs. Rebecca Lepkoff studied dance at the Educational Alliance as an adolescent. As a young adult she returned to start the first young artist photography class at the Educational Alliance.

Painting the Metropolis
Visions of Lower Manhattan by 19 Contemporary Artists through November 30, 2006
Throughout the 20th century artists gravitated to the affordable warehouse spaces whether near the ports on the east side, in Chinatown or the lofts in Soho.

Exhibition dates: March 21 - April 1, 2010
Reception and awards presentation:Sunday, March 21, 4-7pm

About the exhibit: Celebrating creative young women photographers from NYC area high schools. Over 80 students submitted photographs for consideration.

Exhibit: REBECCA LEPKOFF: Photographs of the Lower East Side - 1937 to 2007
Exhibition Dates: November 5 to December 17, 2009
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 5, 6-8pm

This exhibit features photographs spanning 70 years of life on the Lower East Side providing a vivid panoramic portrait of an ever-changing neighborhood. Featured artist Rebecca Lepkoff has been eloquently documenting life on the Lower East Side since 1937 when she became involved with the Photo League. The 2006 publication of her monograph Life on the Lower East Side: Photographs by Rebecca Lepkoff, 1937-1950, has revived interest in her vintage street photographs. As an adolescent Rebecca Lepkoff studied dance at the Educational Alliance. As a young adult she returned to start the first black and white darkroom photography class for kids at the Educational Alliance Art School.
