Susan Brabeau, "Barnstormers"

Upchurch Government Complex, 222 West Hargett Street, and Block2, the Arts Commission?s video venue, located in the window of Urban Design Center at 133 Fayetteville Street.

At Block Gallery, Imprint features paintings by Susan Brabeau and photography by Ron Flory. Additionally, in the gallery?s cases is the accompanying display Here and Now ? There and Then, guest-curated by Janine LeBlanc and featuring handmade textile books.

Block2 Street Video Series, curated by Neill Prewitt, will air Music for Teacups by David Colagiovanni and Melissa Haviland.

An opening day reception will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 12 at Block Gallery. The reception will feature a reading by 2012 Piedmont Laureate Ian Finley.

Imprint explores the intrinsic bond between time, place and the indelible mark of the past upon the present. A self-taught painter, Susan Brabeau creates detailed and vivid depictions of scenes of everyday life from earlier times that contrast the hectic and constantly connected atmosphere of today. Ron Flory, also self-taught, uses photography to capture images of a track of land in eastern Wake County that will be flooded with the planned damming of the Little River in 2025. Flory?s images invite reflections on change, our ability or inability to shape the future, and how this waiting for impending action has created new connections.

Susan Oliver Fennell, "Tsukiji with Furoshiki"

Susan Brabeau received a B.S. from Michigan State University. This past year brought her third Best of Show Award at the North Carolina State Fair and the Purchase Award from the Agricultural Commissioner. Ron Flory earned an A.A.S. in architectural technology from Pitt Community College. His photographs have been included in Precious Treasures, North Carolina 24/7, Black & White Photography (UK), Camera Arts Magazine (Extended Online Edition) and Light Leaks Magazine.

Here and Now ? There and Then a grouping of handmade textile books in the gallery?s display cases, features artists Peggy Clover, Susan Oliver Fennell, Christine Hager-Braun, Janine LeBlanc, Linda Lowe, and Georgia Springer. The exhibited books look at the ties between emotions and home, and how this connection is altered by the passage of time and our memories.

Here and Now curator Janine LeBlanc earned an M.I.D. with a textile concentration from the College of Design at North Carolina State University. She is currently working as a textile consultant for the Gregg Museum of Art and Design where she recently guest-curated the exhibit Barkcloth, Bras & Bulletproof Cotton: The Powers of Costume.

Melissa Haviland of Athens, OH and David Colagiovanni of Carrboro, NC are artists who have collaborated on several projects, including the video, Music for Teacups. Music for Teacups uses footage of teacups breaking and being reformed, altered to create a distinct music and rhythm to examine ideas of class, constraint, manners, family, beauty, and privilege.
