INTERIORS can mean various things to different people. It can be a representational viewpoint from inside a home, workplace, studio or cafe - often it can have a nostalgic sensibility or invoke a feeling of security. A person might identify with a place of worship, or even a forest, to express their internal self. Internalized feelings and emotions may resonate within an artwork. How would you express the concept of interior?

Time: the continuum of experience in which events pass from future to present to past. How does one experience TIME? A particular occasion, a good time, a bad time, history, events of the day, visionary future, an instance of something happening or being done, mark making, measuring, movement… Interpretations are only limited by your vision of the theme “TIME”

Carl Grauer Pays Tribute to 50th Anniversary of Stonewall Rebellion with New Exhibit
Fine artist Carl Grauer’s upcoming exhibit entitled “The Lavender Temple of Their Most Fabulous” opens at Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York on Wednesday, June 12th.
Envisioned as a tribute to the Stonewall Rebellion that occurred in New York City in 1969, the show features portraits of 15 figures who have impacted the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
The intention of this exhibit is at once celebratory and educational; serving as an acknowledgement of the pivotal events that emboldened the gay rights movement in the United States, while also highlighting other important figures who have contributed to LGBTQ+ visibility and equality before or since the events of June 1969.
A new series of paintings celebrate and ‘sanctify’ these torchbearers through works that reference religious iconography to spark a conversation surrounding art history, LGBTQ+
history and cultural responses.
Showing as well, Carrie Haddad Gallery is pleased to present Mortals, Saints & Myths, an exhibit that explores the idolized and idealized figures that preoccupy our realities- both real and imagined. This special group of Hudson Valley artists are best known for their representation of the figure via painting, photography and installation. Featured artists include Mark Beard, Carl Grauer, Juan Garcia-Nunez, Kahn & Selesnick, John T. Unger, and David Sokosh. On view June 12 – July 28 with a reception for the artists on Saturday, June 15th from 5-7pm. All are welcome to join us!

Peculiar Rarities
Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NY
Artist Reception, Saturday March 10th 5 - 7pm
March 7, 2018 through April 22, 2018
For over twenty-seven years, Carrie Haddad Gallery has prided itself on exhibiting some of the finest artworks in the Hudson Valley, from breathtaking Hudson River School-style landscapes to intense and unforgettable abstract-expressionist works. Now, it’s time for something a little different.
“Peculiar Rarities”, an exhibition set to run from March 7 to April 22, with an opening reception on March 10 from 5 – 7 p.m., is exactly what it sounds like. The exhibition will include media from porcelain to Play-Doh, and subject matter that includes icebergs, Victorian steampunk characters, conniving housewives, and Judy Garland. From the moment you walk through the door, each space will house its own experience: here, spectral and Seuss-like; there, off-kilter and gritty, all of it richly blending beauty with provocation.
Frequent visitors to the gallery are likely to recognize many familiar names, such as David Halliday and Donise English, but may be surprised to find that these artists don’t stray far from their tried-and-true techniques. Halliday creates quirky variations on his characteristic still-life photographs, while English brings the unpretentious motifs and palettes of her usual work into the third dimension. Fans of each artist will delight in these odd treasures, which serve as proof that talent transcends tradition.
In addition to Halliday and English, exhibited artists will include Juan Garcia Nunez, Russell DeYoung, Nick Simpson, Newbold Bohemia, Leon Smith, Paul Katz, Andrea Moreau, Fernando Orellana, Carl Grauer, David Dew Bruner, Robert Gulley, and Frank Litto.

RECOLLECTIONS
This event has passed
2016
This Spring, Point Gallery of Denver, Colorado will be hosting Carl Grauer's first solo show. Recollections, a series that plays with the tension between memories, the “return to home”, and the actual experienced past, is an idea that I explore through the renderings of the family unit. With source imagery of found slides and photos of people he finds at flea markets, secondhand stores or from friends or his own family’s collection, Grauer changes elements to signify specific moments that could be seen as memories, remembered or forgotten. He aims to represent nostalgic scenes that may relay a tension, sorrow or humor that could be constructed memories or actual experienced events.

BEING HER NOW: FEMININE IDENTITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY
This event has passed
2016
What does it mean to be a woman in the twenty-first century? How are we representing the realities of contemporary women’s lives and issues? How are we engaging with historic ideas of femininity? The media would have us believe that gender is more fluid than ever, but does this fluidity—at least as it plays out in the mainstream media—actually represent a real challenge to stereotypical gender norms that many feel hemmed in by? Feminists have increasingly grappled with the ways that intersectional identity complicates notions of femininity, inflecting the way in which women continue to fight to make diverse voices heard. This exhibition presents artworks that engage with these questions and seek to explore diverse ways of being a woman in the twenty-first century. Participating artists include: Allison Baker, Margarita Correia, Barbara Lekus, Jesse Harrod, Laura Kaufman, Khanh Le, Spooky Boobs Collective, Sidney Mullis, Cigdem Slankard, Malena Barnhart, Eunsu Kang, Carl Grauer, Veronica Casado, Lara Nguyen, Ayana Evans.

The WAC Awards
Wells exhibition
This event has passed
2015
Carl Grauer has been selected as one of the finalists for the WAC 2015 Open Call Exhibition. The WAC Awards is an open competition for contemporary visual art that is gaining praise and respect in Britain and abroad. It was established only four years ago by a group of artists and their friends in Wells, the cathedral city in South-West England. But a notion that came to life around kitchen and dining tables has already established a strong presence in the London artworld and is drawing artists from places as diverse as Australia, Azerbaijan, India, Italy, Korea, Japan and the United States, as well as all over Britain. The most cited reasons for this rapid success are the quality of the artists who enter, the prestige of the judges and the attraction of the prizes.
