Reception: Saturday, March 2, 6-8pm

Artists’ Talks: Gallery Walk Sunday, March 17, 3:30pm

Hours: Thursday thru Sunday, 1-5pm and by Appointment

On February 28, 2013, an exhibition, Brushstrokes & Grain, will open at the hob’art gallery, Monroe Art Center, 720 Monroe Street, #E208, Hoboken, NJ. Two members of the gallery, Joe Gilmore and Tom Egan, will present artwork in the mediums of painting and photography. The exhibit will be open to the public from February 28 to March 24, 2013, and a reception for the show to meet the artists, will be held on, Saturday, March 2, 6 – 8pm. Gallery hours are Thursday thru Sunday, 1 – 5pm and by appointment. The artists thank the Monroe Art Center and the hob’art gallery for their support of this exhibition.

The Brushstrokes and Grain show emphasizes the contrasting styles and mediums, by the two exhibition artists. Joe Gilmore’s paintings are a lighthearted look at physical and spiritual intimacy within the home, inspired by the eight days he spent without power in the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. During that time, the artist reflected on two very important lessons: the importance of nesting and what people do during a blackout. Tom Egan’s photography is part of his long term project to document New York City’s underground club scene, especially the Burning Man subculture. Regular parties that spring up throughout Manhattan and it’s boroughs are showplaces for outrageous clothes, exciting performances and flamboyant personalities. The exhibited images represent a series of moments captured in 2012.

Gallery information can be obtained on the website www.hob-art.org and from the Director, France Garrido, 201-319-1504 or director@hob-art.org.

Artists’ Reception: Saturday, February 2, 2013 – 5-8pm

On Saturday, January 13, 2013 an exhibition, “Archeology of Color”, will open at the hob’art gallery, 720 Monroe Street, Hoboken, NJ. Members of the gallery will present artwork in the mediums of painting, collage and photography. The exhibit will be open to the public from January 13 to February 17 and a reception to meet the artists will be held on Saturday, February 2, 5-8pm.

During the Sunday Gallery Walks on January 20 and February 17, there will be talks by artists about their work. The artists thank the Monroe Art Center and the hob’art gallery for their support of this exhibition.

Archeology of Color relates to dialogues between artists and the power of color in artwork, including the freeing of color from objective context to become the subject itself. Layering and collage techniques in some of the artworks examine the idea of remembrances inspired by changes in light and hue. The artists exhibiting their work in this exhibition, Liz Cohen, Pauline Chernichaw, Don Sichler, Constance Ftera, Meredeth Turshen, Janet Kolstein, Roslyn Rose, Starr Tucker-Ortega, Tom Egan, Ann Kinney, Erich Heinemann, Howard Berelson and Ibou Ndoye, also use their expertise to symbolize memories that express movements in time.

Mile Square Theatre Presents It’s A Wonderful Life December 6-23 2012

Filed under: Hoboken,Monroe Center,Theater — Tags: , , , — TheBoken @ 9:55 AM

Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken will revive their production of It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play from December 6 – 23. Read below for details…

Mile Square Theatre Presents the Holiday Favorite
It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play

Celebrating their 10th Season, Mile Square Theatre–Hudson County’s leading professional Equity company–will present a revival of It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play from December 6 through December 23 at the Monroe Theatrespace (located at 720 Monroe St. in Hoboken, 2nd Floor).
It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry offers an enchanting theatrical take on Frank Capra’s classic holiday film, as Mile Square Theatre transforms its space into a 1940’s radio station, and presents this American favorite in front of a live studio audience. NewJersey.com called last season’s production of It’s A Wonderful Life, “…in a word, wonderful!” Five actors perform dozens of characters as well as produce the sound effects in Capra’s timeless tale of individualism, optimism, and community.
“It’s a Wonderful Life is our holiday gift to our audience,” states Chris O’Connor, MST’s Artistic Director. “We hope to make the play a lasting holiday tradition. It’s a play that parents can bring their children to, or it can be a great date play as well.”
Mile Square Theatre, called “…the treasure of Hoboken,” by Peter Filichia in the Star-Ledger, has put together a cast that includes Martin Landry (Twilight: The Musical, Off-Broadway at New World Stages) as George Bailey, and Eliza Simpson (recently seen in MST’s box-office smash Go, Dog. Go!) as Mary Bailey. The ensemble includes Whitney Brown (The Last Goodbye, Broadway workshop), and MST regulars Charlie Kevin (God of Carnage), and Andy Nogasky (7th Inning Stretch). Mary Kate Burke, former artistic director for Pennsylvania’s Millbrook Playhouse, will direct the production.
It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, produced by Mile Square Theatre at the Monroe Theatrespace (located at 720 Monroe St. in Hoboken, 2nd Floor), runs from December 6 through December 23, Thursday through Saturday at 8pm, and matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 3pm. 
  • Tickets are available online at (www.milesquaretheatre.org), and at the Monroe Theatrespace box office, or by calling 201-683-7014 for reservations.
  • Tickets are $20. Students and seniors, $12.
  • On Thursday, December 13 @ 8pm, there will be a special PAY WHAT YOU WILL performance.  Audience members can pay whatever they wish.

Filed under: Art Gallery,art show,Hoboken,Monroe Center — Tags: , , , , , , — TheBoken @ 11:40 AM

Below is info on a new art exhibit called “Alternate Relaities” which is at the Monroe Art Center’s hob’art gallery. The opening reception is onSaturday, September 15 , 5 – 8pm. The show runs through October 7th.  With the Summer winding down there is still plenty to do in Hoboken.

Alternate Realities

Monroe Art Center
720 Monroe Street, E208, Hoboken, NJ 07030
Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 5pm and by appointment.
Artists’ Reception: Saturday, September 15 , 5 – 8pm

On Saturday, September 15  the exhibition, Alternative Realities will open at the hob’art gallery, 720 Monroe Street, Hoboken, NJ and continue through October 7th.  A reception to meet the artists will be held on Saturday, September 15, 5 – 8pm. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 5pm and by appointment. The artists thank the Monroe Art Center and the hob’art gallery for their support of this exhibition.

The “Alternative Realities” show brings together three of hob’art’s photographers in a way that contrasts their styles.  The emphasis  is to highlight how these artists approach a medium in very alternate ways to create a diversity of results.

Long time hob’art member Ann Kinney is searching for the elusive place between the photograph, which captures a moment in time, and the elements of line, form and color. She explores these principles in the places and people she encounters. Tom Egan’s photography combines landscape, fashion and documentation following the local ‘Burning Man’ subculture. This visually explosive scene is thriving in the New York Metropolitan area but is largely unseen by people outside of those who participate. This set of photos will explore the local parties and events as well as the Burning Man festival itself. Don Sichler’s work focuses on finding wild and beautiful images where you least expect it. Don calls the photos in this exhibit “Reflections on Autos.” The extreme distortions of shapes and colors in the photos of automobile will amaze the viewer. This exhibit promises to have something for every art enthusiast with many surprises thrown in.

Gallery information can be obtained on the website www.hob-art.org and from the Director, France Garrido, 201-319-1504 or director@hob-art.org.

Erin M. Burke works in many media. Mathematics and biology, as well as a sense of flow and balance, play a role in how she understands & interacts with the world around her. This is expressed in Miss Burke’s art, in realistic or abstract forms. Louise Gale is a mixed media artist, inspired by “the dance of nature”. Her work is colorful and detailed with a pattern-like quality to awaken and stimulate the senses. Janet Hollander is interested in bodies in motion. She has worked with dance companies, incorporating choreography into her art-making process. Her pictures are an extension of dancing.
