NEW JERSEY ARTS INCUBATOR PRESENTS “HAITI: 01-12-2010 WE REMEMBER”
OPENING RECEPTION JANUARY 12TH FROM 7-10PM
Crushed
“HAITI: 01-12-2010 WE REMEMBER” honors a country that was taken by surprise when an earthquake hit and reminds the world of the horrific disaster. The actual footage and pictures from the aftermath will never escape our minds. “HAITI: 01-12-2010 WE REMEMBER” is to be used to record and engrave this horror as part of the Haitian history and as a reminder to all of what happened and what needs to be done to prevent such a disaster from occurring at such a magnitude in the future. Hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters lost their lives not only because of the earthquake but due to a lack of Haiti’s preparedness, a solid infrastructure, and vision.
“HAITI: 01-12-2010 WE REMEMBER” will be on display starting Thursday, January 12th and will run through March 23rd at the New Jersey Arts Incubator Gallery located at 495 Prospect Avenue, Essex Green on the Courtyard. Just ‘follow the art’ down the walkway to the AMC Cinema entrance and turn right at the beautiful mural. Opening reception will take place on Thursday, January 12th from 7 – 10pm. The Incubator Gallery is open Saturdays from 2pm – 7pm and by appointment. For appointments call Jean Claude Dominique at 862/250-4393.
Artists whose work is featured in “HAITI: 01-12-2010 WE REMEMBER” include Jerry M.C. Georges, Jean P. Blaise, Mona Coichy Haigler, Gracie Xavier, Jean Richard Coachy, Francisco Gervais, Joseph Thony Moise, Auguste Isaac “Zaak”, Jean Claude Dominique and Marino Jean-Louis.
The Incubator Gallery presents a year-round schedule of changing exhibitions devoted to contemporary arts. The mission of the Incubator Gallery is to curate and present the work of emerging and established New Jersey artists with a commitment to providing exhibition programming with depth and relevance to multiple disciplinary perspectives and a diverse community audience. In particular, the gallery strives to provide an environment dedicated to inspiration and culture enrichment.
The New Jersey Arts Incubator’s mission is the economic development of artists and arts organizations in New Jersey through technical assistance, employment, marketing, programming, performance, and education in an effort to support, sustain, and promote viable arts agencies to act as economic drivers in communities across the State of New Jersey.
Area Artists Remember Haiti Quake
“Haiti: 01-12-2010 We Remember,” a group exhibit curated by West Orange-based artist Jean Claude Dominique opens with a reception this Thursday evening at the New Jersey Arts Incubator at Essex Green Plaza in West Orange. The show will run through March 23.
On January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by a catastrophic earthquake that killed and injured hundreds of thousands. Many times that number both in Haiti and in the New Jersey metropolitan area were permanently affected by the devastation.
Dominique remembers, “My family and I were glued to the television around the clock; the images were horrific. We could not believe what we were seeing — it was surreal … I don’t think they’ll ever know how many people died.”
Dominique, who was born in Port-Au-Prince and came to the United States as a 13 year old, forces himself to watch tapes of the horrific events, sometimes until the wee hours of the morning. “It’s a hard subject, but art helps make sense of the tragedy,” he said. “I believe as artists we have to make strong statements.”
The West Orange-based artist belongs to a group of Haitian-born artists called the “Ayitistik,” Creole for Haiti and artistic. The group grew out of a call for artists put out by Marcial Bonhomme of the LAMBI Fund for Haiti, an eight-year-old nonprofit based both in the United States and Haiti. LAMBI is dedicated to the sustainable rebuilding of Haiti and is a co-presenter of this exhibit at the Incubator.
Dominique was among the Haitian-born artists who answered Bonhomme’s call. “Ten of us had 110 paintings in a major show at the Summit Medical Center,” Dominique said. After the success of the show, the artists created Ayitistik, and Dominique presented this challenge: paint works specifically about the earthquake.
Last year, Dominique went to Carol Berman of Livingston, the executive director of the Incubator, with the idea for an exhibit there, “She welcomed us with open arms.”
Dominique and his fellow artists are driven by the need for remembrance. “The problems continue, but Haiti is not in the forefront anymore,” Dominique said. “We want to make certain people remember every year.”
There is another force driving Ayitistik — proceeds from the sale of the canvases will partially underwrite members going to Haiti and connect them with groups that work to heal children through art.
Dominique’s own vibrantly colored canvases will be among the approximately 40 works that will be on view at the Incubator. His works both capture the terrible loss and give hope for rebirth.
“I watched footage of a truck dumping bodies into a mass grave,” Dominique said. In one of his works titled, “In Memory of Those Who Perished,” the artist represents the dead going to that mass grave. But there is also sense of the earth opening to receive them. The bodies are set against a brilliant field of blue — as if heaven is receiving them, too.
In “Destruction, Death and Rebirth,” two stylized figures of pregnant women cast their eyes downward in grief. Rooted in the earth, their bodies form a heart of hope and the future.
Dominique and all of the artists look to the future and rebuilding a stronger Haiti, “This is part of our history; it will not go away .. I don’t know how long it will take, but we must make a difference. Hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters lost their lives not only because of the earthquake but due to a lack of Haiti’s preparedness, a solid infrastructure, and vision.”
The presenting artists are Jerry M.C. Georges, Jean P. Blaise, Mona Coichy Haigler, Gracie Xavier, Jean Richard Coachy, Francisco Gervais, Joseph Thony Moise, Auguste Isaac “Zaak”, Jean Claude Dominique and Marino Jean-Louis.
There is an opening reception for “Haiti: 01-12-2010 We Remember” on Thursday, Jan. 12 from 7 to 10 p.m. The Incubator gallery will be open every Saturday from 2 to 7 p.m. for the run of the show and by appointment: call (862) 250-4393. The gallery is at 495 Prospect Avenue, Essex Green at the shopping center’s top level. Walk along the courtyard between Petco and Panera’s and turn right at the AMC Cinema mural.

The Theater Project Returns to West Orange’s New Jersey Arts Incubator for “Fully Committed” Running October 13 through October 30
award-winning actresses portraying nearly 40 characters
West Orange and Union, NJ; The Theater Project, a 17-year old Central New Jersey-based professional theater company, will present its fall production, the zany “Fully Committed” by Becky Mode, from October 13 through 30. The production will take place at the New Jersey Arts Incubator at the Essex Green Shopping Center on Prospect Avenue just off I-280 in West Orange, NJ.
Tickets range from $10-25 and are available at Brown Paper Tickets at 800-838-3006 or at brownpapertickets.com. More information is available at TheTheaterProject.org and NJAI.org or by calling (908) 809-8865. The New Jersey Arts Incubator is in the rear of the Essex Green Shopping Center next to the cinemas and behind Panera Bread, 495 Prospect Avenue in West Orange. Additional information is available at TheTheaterProject.org
This hysterical, fast-paced show follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actress who handles the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan's number-one restaurant. She is certainly in demand – not for acting roles, but for prime reservations at the right table. As she juggles scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, Sam tries to sort out her own life and career. Sam – along with the nearly 40 demanding characters in “Fully Committed” – are all portrayed by one actress, Jenelle Sosa of Newark.
Directed by Rick Delaney, this hilarious comedy is about being in the right place at the right time, and heroine Sam learns that sometimes it's just best to hang up the phone. The New York Times hailed a previous production of “Fully Committed” calling it "…immensely entertaining, a richly comic affirmation of everything I've ever heard, or suspected, about the bad behavior that good food can inspire." Time Out New York called the production "hilarious and touching, galloping along at a swift, almost frantic pace."
The Theater Project believes that a more thoughtful, inspired and creative community can be stimulated by its unique brand of professional, high-quality and theatrical programming. It is dedicated to the presentation of powerful and relevant productions that explore contemporary values and topic issues in an intimate and engaging setting.
Committed to strengthening the bond our professional artists have with our patrons and donors, The Theater Project provides our Central New Jersey community with a broad range of affordable programming -- ranging from rarely-seen productions to educational offerings and programs supporting next-generation actors and playwrights to a safe developmental environment for the cultivation of new plays by authors of all ages -- in celebration of the special interactive relationship between artists and audiences only live theater can provide.

‘Pieced Together’ Group Exhibit at New Jersey Art Incubator
Originally Posted on West Orange Patch
This time out, she gives us a summer gift of “Pieced Together,” an excellent group show at the New Jersey Arts Incubator (NJAI) Gallery, a not for profit arts organization located in the Essex Green Mall in West Orange. There are works by 14 artists, all members of the area based Exhibitors’ Co-Op, an artist collective.
The approximately 40 works on display encompass a variety of media and styles with figurative based art predominating.
Let’s start with Suss and her deftly executed water colors, “Anyway You Slice It” and “To the Point.” Both feature familiar objects on a striped cloth ground — hard boiled eggs on a glass plate or an assembly of crisscrossing colored pencils and scissors. But the familiar becomes enigmatic the more you look. Suss’ works play with reflections and shifting perspective and planes — what is really keeping that plate of sliced eggs from sliding off the table?
“My goal is to focus on everyday objects but make the viewer see the everyday from a different point of view,” Suss said. “Many water colorists work on wet paper, but I am not handling the medium in a conventional way; I’m working on dry paper. I can get a harder edge.”
A nice companion pair to Suss’ works are two water colors by Basking Ridge’s Letty Oratowski. Her still life “Decanter With Pears” similarly intrigues with shifting planes, here with an emphasis on the distortions of the reflected objects.
From Oratowski, it’s a nice leap to Maplewood based Joy Yagid’s two beautiful, watery photographs, “Face” and “Swim,” the latter especially carrying through the distortion theme as a swimmer’s legs, refracted in the water, move in and out of reality and abstraction.
Florence Weisz’s grouping of nine, similarly themed, cautionary tales is another standout. Each of her mixed media collages work fine on its own, but together they tell a larger story:
“It’s part memoir, part inventory, part confessional,” Weisz said. “It started when a cousin was facing eviction from her New York City apartment where she had been unable to part with things for 52 years. I was helping her sort through, throw out.” (Weisz’s efforts were successful; the cousin kept her apartment.)
Weisz first documents two of her relative’s fixations by photographing the objects and superimposing these images on the frames of shadow boxes holding samples of the actual objects in question — papers, eye glasses.
Then Weisz surveyed her own collections of brass works and matchboxes, attained during the West Orange based artist’s many travels. She asked, “What is the blurry line between collecting and hoarding?”
I especially liked the brightly colored “Rainbow Tale,” where Weisz zeroes in on her household assembly of cleaning bottles and materials and “Matchboxes” with its sense of an infinite landscape of these graphic relics of places visited and of a past, smoke filled “Mad Men” era.
The works of mixed media artist Julie Levine of West Orange and Florence Wint of Maplewood were the most abstract in the show and among the most powerful.
Levine works in clay, paint and found objects, affixing each to a wood base, either rectangular in shape or a totem. She first creates jig saw pieces of clay — often an assembly of masks — each expression exploring a facet of herself. “I’m breaking out a little, using bold color on the faces,” Levine said. “My father was a serious collector of pre Columbian and primitive art. All these faces are different and each takes me to a different place.”
Wint’s paint and fabric collages can be seen as another side of this artist’s extraordinary sense of color, flow and visual imagination; through July 24, a companion visit to this NJAI show can be found at the JCC Metrowest Gaelen Gallery nearby, where Wint’s figurative, painted sculptures are creating their own sensations — another Suss curatorial feat.
“I use African fabrics,” Wint said, “I like their abstract shapes and that they are made from wood cuts, perhaps because I worked in wood cut for so long. I tried using American fabrics but they were too quiet, too decorative for me.” Applying a riot of fabric to acrylic painted canvases, Wint’s works transport the viewer to the essence of an Eden of a “Garden,” “Hawaii,” and “Mexico.”
Go to see “Pieced Together” and let this excellent show by a highly accomplished group of artists make you rethink the world.
Most all of the works are for sale with prices ranging from $100 to $1,500 and many may be previewed here. “Pieced Together is on exhibit through Sunday, August 14 at the New Jersey Art Incubator Gallery at the Essex Green Mall, Prospect Avenue, south of Route 280 in West Orange. Park in Upper lot near Panera’s and follow the plaza to the right of the AMC mural.
Regular hours are 1p.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. Other hours are before NJAI evening musical and theater performances or contact info@exhibitorscoop.com for an appointment. Learn more about the New Jersey Art Incubator and attain directions at www.njai.org

The Theater Project Presents Summer Satire “Penny Penniworth” Opening July 14
Set in Victorian England, this madcap adventure tells the story of young Penny Penniworth whose childhood love is driven out of town after nearly killing a wealthy businessman. Soon, Penny finds herself penniless, left alone to make her way through a convoluted maze of strange relationships, anonymous benefactors and ultimate justice. This cult-favorite satirical comedy also channels D.H. Lawrence, Jane Austen, Mel Brooks, Monty Python and Sid Caesar.
The New York Times hailed a previous production of “Penny Penniworth” saying, “Anyone ever tortured by a Charles Dickens novel will find lots and lots to laugh at in this parody.” NYTheater.com called the play “irresistible…with broad physical comedy and cheeky social satire.”
