2021–2023 (Traveling exhibit)

Contain Your Fear

Curator and participating artist.

Beginning in October 2020, Bronstein invited visual artists, writers and designers to create one piece
focused on a personal fear. The purpose of this piece will be to identify a fear and then create a "container",
to constrain that fear. Naming and containing a fear diminishes its power. 

 

With 40+ participants, exhibit offers a wide variety of fears, artists, personal experience and styles.
Contain Your Fear encompasses a wide array of visual arts including painting, photography, collage, sculpture, 
video, textile, book arts and everything in between. Our fears range from the intimate: falling, biting insects,
elevators and hair to societal, such as intolerance and climate change.

2011–2014 (Traveling exhibit)
Underneath it all: Desire, power, memory & lingerie

Curator and participating artist.

This traveling exhibit showcased the work of eleven women artists from
around the U.S. who use and interpret lingerie in their work. Their work ranges from historical interpretation,
contemporary viewpoints on cultural meaning, personal context and issues. This show was well received
where each venue added public programs and even a burlesque show! 

​

I developed the exhibit, contacted and organized all of the artists, chose artwork to be exhibited
(working with each artist), wrote and submitted exhibit proposals for numerous venues, coordinated
all materials needed for each venue, developed instructions for delivery, installation and deinstallation,
wrote and provided press releases, gave interviews, developed public programs including lectures,
workshops and classroom projects for elementary and high school students. Worked closely with
each venue to insure artwork was available and delivered on time.

​

Artists included: Miriam Schaer (Book arts). Amanda Simmons (Painting), Ingrid Goldbloom Bloch 
(Found object sculpture), Joanne Kaliontzis (Digital collage), Julie Harris (Printmaking), Lisa Knox
(Painting), Erica Spitzer Rasmussen (Paper clothing), Diane Savona (Fiber/quilting), Laura Ann Jacobs
(Resin lingerie with found objects), April Dauscha (Fiber clothing interpretation) and myself (Paper
clothing from nude drawings).
