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, coordinatedall 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 (Handmade
paper clothing), Diane Savona (Fiber/quilting), Laura Ann Jacobs(Resin lingerie with
found objects), April Dauscha (Fiber clothing interpretation) and myself
(Paperclothing from nude drawings).
