\nAnnouncing the Selected Artists for
\nOpen Call 2019
\nCody Gallery with Arlington Arts
\nEmma Cregan and Johab Silva<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exhibition Dates: September 6 – November 2, 2019<\/strong>
\nOpening Reception: September 6, 2019, 6-8pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emma Cregan <\/strong>
\nEmma Cregan explores the space between the digital and intangible. Cregan studied animation in Virginia Commonwealth University’s Kinetic Imaging program, where she created several short films using puppets and other stop-motion techniques. Her animations focused on family history led to an internship at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. While working at the Smithsonian, she created short videos and wrote articles about the importance of culture and how traditional knowledge remains relevant in the 21st century. Her interest in cultural heritage led to an internship with The Maa Trust, a non profit in the Maasai Mara working to establish harmony between community development and environmental conservation. Cregan created short video pieces showcasing their efforts to economically empower Maasai women. Her experiences with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and The Maa Trust inspired her to create art focused on intangibility. She is drawn to animation because it is an exaggeration and distortion of reality. The visuals created are simultaneously familiar and alien, opening the audience’s mind to see the world from a different perspective. Through the distortion of the world created by animation, we can better understand unique perceptions of reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAbout the work: <\/strong>
\n\u201cEscaping Light\u201d is a series of five animations created using stop-motion and experimenting with long shutter speeds. The series illustrates the tension between tangible and intangible, each projected video an intersection of light and physical objects. Image: Escaping Surface, 2019, Video Still emcregan.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Johab Silva<\/strong>
\nJohab Silva is a native Brazilian who has lived and worked in Washington, D.C. since 2008. He holds a Masters\u2019 Degree in Art Education from Corcoran College of Art and Design. Silva\u2019s ongoing research explores themes of appropriation, materiality, space, and environmental issues. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Transformer Gallery, Miami Art Palace and the Santo Andre Museum of Art. His work has been published in The Washington Post<\/em>, Art in America<\/em>, and Sculpture Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAbout the work:<\/strong>
\nThe problem of illegal or not planned urban development in green regions has been the force in Silva’s practice in an ongoing investigation beginning in 2016. After researching more about environmental economics and making a field trip to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, he began to fabricate \u201cLand Survey,\u201d<\/em> which is a body of work that includes wall pieces, video, sculptures, and a self-published book. This body of work is his response to his endeavor to raise a deeper dialog about probable solutions for environmental balance. Images: Johab Silva, 3\u00b048’32.7″S 48\u00b038’32.1″W, Latex paint on wood, 49.5 x 25.5 (left) and 3\u00b049’00.7″S 48\u00b043’26.0″W, Latex paint on wood, 49.5 x 25.5 (right) johabsilva.com<\/a><\/p>\n
