After five years shepherding the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem through significant transition, Curator Steven Matijcio is leaving to accept a job at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, another mid-sized city attempting to reinvent itself for a post-industrial future.

Delurk Gallery, the partially subterranean refuge of the true artists on the slope of 6 th Street heading westward from Trade, was receiving a steady stream of visitors at about 8:40 p.m., including, in short order, art critic Tom Patterson and David Mounts, the futurist CEO of the budding information technology company Inmar.

“These findings are just the latest evidence of the economic benefit that film and television production has meant for North Carolina,” said Sen. Chris Dodd, the chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), in an official statement released last week.

The series tells the story of a girl who is helping her father run a halfway house for monsters, who were once human. The first installment is available for download on Yates’ website. Once he completes all the chapters, Yates plans to combine them into a paperback book later.

It was her day off from her day job as a teacher at the Enrichment Center, an artsoriented therapeutic program for people of all ages with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and Lashley was working at a steady clip to ready about 30 of her...

Owens and Clark have oversized heads, not unlike Capt. Peter Peachfuzz or Boris Badenov in “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.” The three Beasties are running through a decaying urban setting fleeing the archetypal villain — in this instance, Casey said, it may be assumed to be an angry group of PTA moms.

Lauren Watts has encountered some setbacks lately, but you wouldn’t know it from her disposition. The slender, young woman with luxuriant, blond tresses readily owns up to the adversity in her life, but maintains an insistently positive attitude and a sense of gratitude for her blessings.

But the thrift store-turned-museum that houses Elsewhere doesn’t showcase objects of art in the conventional sense beyond what a visitor might subjectively experience as an accidental encounter of significance in the flotsam of constantly rearranged materials that jam the museum’s confines.

Curated by Steven Matijcio, Directions brings together a survey of Dodge’s work from 2003 through the present with that of Denyse Thomasos, a Trinidadian-born painter who, sadly, died suddenly and unexpectedly last year at the age of 48 from an allergic reaction to diagnostic medical procedure.

Steichen’s early photos often utilize darkness and shadows to convey haunting, ominous moods, while his later works tend to emphasize the period’s fashion trends. Almost all of his photos rely on his subjects’ expressions, giving credence to the adage that eyes are the window to the soul.

If déjà vu encompasses return visitors of Fahrenheit Kollectiv, it might be because they have seen this artist before. Tristin Miller’s art adorned the walls of the downtown salon when they opened, so it made sense that she would be invited back for their one-year anniversary.

Inside a chamber formed by four heavy, black curtains at Hanes Gallery on the campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, a installation created by Simon Lee and Algis Kizys projects video on four screens with small clusters of chairs in each corner.

As soon as you walk into artist Diana Al-Hadid’s exhibit in the Weatherspoon Art Museum, you’ll encounter a miraculous, large-scale painted metal sculpture known as “Trace of a Fictional Third.” It’s a massive work that would take awhile to examine even if it wasn’t.

Bicycle tire treads are her primary material. “I’ve gotten all my tire treads from Revolution Cycles, ReCycles and Trek,” Cooke explained during an interview in her studio at 205 Collaborative. “I strip out the metal parts. I’ve saved all of them because I feel like one day I’m going to have a brilliant idea.

James Martin, a trained painter who has studied art history and chemistry to become a consultant in demand by both the FBI and a number of prominent art museums, began his talk on forensic art history at Reynolda House Museum of American Art on Sunday by asking if there were any artists in the audience.

The art show Becker was curating happened to fall in the one-week window that I was covering Visions. Distracted by last week’s cover story about police surveillance and the city’s attempt to stop us from distributing it, the piece had slipped my mind.

The visual objects of gawkers, their predecessors were tattooed tribesmen from the South Pacific brought back to Western Europe by explorers for presentation to royals and other members of high society and treated as exotic specimens for pseudo-scientific examination.

“My best friend growing up in Atlanta and I did sketches,” Nolan said in an interview last week. “Leola came out of a sketch we did. The joke was she was constantly coming out to people. She’s happily married to her best friend, Gus, but she had to come out to him.

The main point of the exhibit seems to be that when emotion is reduced to a commodity and broken down into its essential components for maximum efficiency of production it ceases to have any human tangibility.
