Chloe Irla holds her daughter Felix in the Ventures Gallery with her “Year One” project. In her artist statement Irla writes “The Year One series visualizes data collected throughout my daughter's first year of life: the time of each nursing session, pumping session, nightly sleep and morning wake-up time, nap, diaper, bath, bottle, and solid food acceptance. Through this body of work, I aim to make the invisible labor of parenthood visible by bringing attention to the amount of time that goes into raising a child, especially when that child is a newborn. Each piece can be read as a calendar with each line representing twenty-four hours in a day. The colored elements within the pieces represent different activities throughout the day, and the attached key can be used to decipher what took place on each specific day.”

The Rehoboth Art League held an opening reception for its Putting it Two-Gether Assemblage and Collage exhibition April 6. Lee Wayne Mills and Rose Minetti displayed their assemblage, collage and Arte Provera works in the Tubbs Gallery. The show runs through May 7.

Collage comes from the French word “coller,” meaning “to glue,” and is the artistic process of gluing and assembling various materials to a flat surface. Assemblage is a form of sculpture comprised of found objects arranged in such a way that they create a work of art.

Arte Provera, poor or impoverished art, was the most significant and influential avant-garde movement to emerge in Europe in the 1960s. It grouped the work of around a dozen Italian artists, whose most recognizable trait was their use of commonplace materials, such as earth, rocks, clothing and tar paper, to evoke a pre-industrial age feeling.

Also on display was the Coastal Camera Club’s jurored Abstractions exhibit and Chloe Irla showed her innovative works documenting the first years of motherhood.
