Earlier this year, I became a member of one of Northeast Ohio’s many arts institutions.

It was a long time coming – something I’d thought about doing in the past but for one reason or another had put off acting on. Why did it finally come about? I think because I simultaneously recognized the great value of doing so and desired to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak.

I’ve spent many an afternoon at the region’s great museums and cultural institutions; I’ve frequently visited art walks, gallery openings, and art-themed shows and festivals; and I’ve often attended theater and dance productions or concerts featuring local musicians, from orchestras to indie rock bands.

Those all are worthwhile shows of support, appreciation and encouragement, but I became interested in offering a more tangible form of support – more than the albums, prints or other products of creativity I’ve accumulated along the way.

So, I became a member, and as you might guess, it’s a change I haven’t regretted.

Similarly, Canvas is undergoing some changes – changes fueled in part by an effort to better support the people, organizations, institutions and communities that make up Northeast Ohio’s creative fabric.

Prior to this issue, Canvas was known as “Museums and Galleries of Ohio and Beyond.” That’s a mouthful, to be sure, but while it was long on title, it was short on inclusion when it came to Northeast Ohio’s wide world of arts.

To change that, the scope of Canvas has been broadened to include material about theater and music. Museums and galleries are still well represented, of course, but the focus has been narrowed to concentrate on what’s happening in Northeast Ohio – from Greater Cleveland to Akron/Canton to Youngstown – rather than spend too much time on goings on elsewhere, worthy though they may be.

Also new are spotlights on area neighborhoods and cities to visit before or after an event or day at the museum, as well as features on local artists or other movers and shakers in the art world.

I hope you enjoy this inaugural issue of Canvas, and as the vision of the magazine grows with each issue, I hope you join me in expanding our collective support for the region’s arts in all their forms.

eb Lawrence is the buzzing kind. Some early mornings, she wakes up, already sketching in her head. Days, she spends a good deal of time in her studio, rolling oil stick onto homespun, antique linen, then applying acrylic to the work for texture, depth, psychological complexity. Lawrence is nothing if not hands-on.

“A lot of the work has to do with coping and who we are genuinely inside versus how we present ourselves and how we go about handling contemporary life.”

DEB LAWRENCE “I work on the floor,” says Lawrence, interviewed in her studio on the first floor of the Tower Press Building on Superior Avenue in Cleveland. “I don’t use an easel. A lot of my work is very psychological at the core.”

This fully engaged artist is dedicated to creating works of both visual and psychological appeal. Not only is Lawrence constantly producing art, she also is committed to raising Cleveland’s arts community to a more sophisticated and intellectual level. Not to mention schooling the area so fine art in Cleveland is valued as highly as it is in bigger cities with higher standards and patrons willing to spend more on such work.

Robert Thurmer, who selected examples of Lawrence’s oevure along with that of other artists who work in the Tower Press Building for “Looking Up,” an April exhibit in the building’s Wooltex Gallery, considers Lawrence’s art “some of the best stuff I’ve seen in town,” adding, “it really, really stands up to scrutiny, and it’s very substantial.”

The director of The Galleries at Cleveland State University says Lawrence was a “driving spirit” behind the exhibit. “Sometimes artists

find a particular mode of working, they find a particular image, and they repeat themselves,” Thurmer says. “She’s not. She’s constantly exploring and she constantly reinvents what she does with paint on canvas.”

Her art is “sort of a visual window into her experience as a psychologist,” Thurmer adds.

“We’re interested in our interior experience; we think we know what other people think, so this is a visualization of what that might look like.”

The daughter of liberal parents who owned a kiln in their basement, Lawrence grew up restless, imaginative, open-minded – and convinced everyone else was, too.

“I grew up a long time ago,” she says, standing in her studio loft. “I have a lot of energy and passion. I’m shocked that I’m 55 – and I don’t feel it in any way.

“When my parents tucked me in, they always said to me, dream big,” says Lawrence, noting her father, a retired physician nearly 80 years old, is currently building a “seaworthy boat” made from the wood of apple trees he chopped down himself.

tended the University of Michigan there, earning a bachelor of arts in psychology. She went on to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland for her Ph.D. in child psychology and still maintains a limited child psychology practice.

“A lot of the work has to do with coping and who we are genuinely inside versus how we present ourselves and how we go about handling contemporary life,” she says of her art.

As if to prove her point, a large section of one wall is dedicated to split images, a series she calls “Say It Like It Is.” There’s a mask-like quality to these smaller works, as well as something ethereal, but at the same time, something that goes deep.

The top of the face doesn’t seem to mesh with the bottom. All about duality and ambiguity, the “Say Its” are curiously and winningly impish. And they’re best viewed as a collection, though she’ll sell them individually. Her work goes for about $200 to nearly $10,000, she said, though most of it falls into a range less than $5,000.

Lawrence also has created “Finders Keepers,” its baseline a group of discarded Army duffel bags she has turned inside out and made into totems equally disturbing and daffy, using spray paint, acrylic, gesso, emulsion ink and pencil.

“Finders Keepers” is a strangely provocative and artistic form of recycling.

Many of her works start as concepts, and the idea often precedes the imagery. In a work’s gestation period, she says, she’s full of anxiety, not knowing where to start. Titles help a lot, like “Say It Like It Is” or “Take a Breath,” the latter a resolutely abstract black-and-white series conjuring maps of interior territories yet to be discovered.

“I’m working it out in my head for several days,” she says of her process.

During the interview, Lawrence was working on a piece called “Ready or Not: Mount Kusama,” an homage to Yaoyi Kusama, a Japanese artist who has created work spanning installations, paintings and performance art. “Mount Kusama” is part of a series Lawrence is developing to honor underappreciated female artists. It is a lively work, Kusama’s severely coiffed head bracketing a volcano in an homage to an Andy Warhol painting of a volcano. Kusama was an influence on Warhol, Lawrence explains.

As for the Cleveland arts scene, Lawrence bemoans the lack of an arts district. The scene is “still in its preschool years,” she says, with “a lot of lookers but not many real art collectors.”

She has done better commercially through art

Deb Lawrence discusses her recent work, “Ready or Not: Mount Kusama,” the first piece in a series intended to bring greater attention to female artists, at her Cleveland studio. galleries in Miami, Chicago and New York than she has here, she adds.

She also wishes there were events, like panel discussions including “scholarly conversations about collecting” that could school arts lovers in the value and pleasures of that field. In addition, she said, local galleries could do the Cleveland scene proud by bringing local artists along on their excursions into larger markets.

So there’s always work to do.

“I always have this huge need to do the next thing,” says Lawrence, a mother of three who, when not at Tower Press, lives in Shaker Heights with her husband, a physician. Creating art is “like giving birth,” she adds. “And you’re so proud. And then you want to have another one.” CV 9

Welcome to the

neighborhood Chandelier project comes together at intersection of art, food and community in University Circle Story and photography

by Michael C. Butz

Part of the community-crafted chandelier that was a result of a collaboration between The Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland and Chef Jonathon and Amelia Sawyer.

| spring/summer 2014

t’s an idyllic image of Americana: A new family moves into a neighborhood and is greeted by neighbors and soon-to-be friends with warm welcomes or, perhaps, even a tasty treat, like a fresh-baked pie.

Something similar – albeit unique – is happening in University Circle, where a new restaurant, Trentina, has moved into a district renowned for its art and cultural institutions, including The Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland. In the spirit of the neighborhood’s creative core, art and cuisine have come together in a tangible and participatory way. Rather than being greeted by neighbors with baked goods, Trentina is being welcomed with a communitycrafted, MOCA-backed art installation that will serve as a chandelier in the restaurant’s inviting main dining room.

Besides, it’s unlikely many can bake a better pie than the new guy on the block.

Trentina is the latest endeavor of Team Sawyer: James Beard Award-nominated Chef Jonathon Sawyer and his wife, Amelia.

Scheduled to open in early June at 1903 Ford Drive in the historic residence that was once home to Sergio’s, the 35-seat Trentina will feature cuisine and wine from Trentino, a region of northern Italy from which Amelia Sawyer’s family hails.

After exploring the area, Jonathon Sawyer noticed similarities – both in culture and ingredients – between Trentino and the Cuyahoga Valley. Both regions share a similar growing season and many indigenous ingredients such as fresh-water fish, apples and tomatoes, as well as cultural influences from Eastern Europe.

“I don’t know how many Clevelanders have been to Trento (Trentino’s capital city) as a vacation spot, but you’d be very comfortable,” he quips. “There’s crazy commonality. ... It’s undeniable.”

Amelia Sawyer has led Trentina’s design, and along the way, was inspired by a family program at MOCA she attended, along with her husband and their children, 8-year-old Catcher and 6-year-old Louisiana.

Led by Nicole Ledinek, MOCA’s curator of education, participants in the program constructed mobiles that were later combined to form a single, larger mobile. The program resonated with the Sawyers.

“As we were designing Trentina, we were

Pinteresting different things and different elements of what we wanted the restaurant to look like, and I found this chandelier that looked like it was made out of string, and it was kind of all bunched together at the bottom and it reminded me of the night with the mobiles,” Amelia Sawyer says. “So, I reached out and spoke with Nicole and I said, ‘Hey, is this maybe possible to make?’”

After meeting to lay the groundwork, MOCA and Team Sawyer announced the Community Chandelier Project in February.

Throughout the spring, visitors to MOCA were invited to string together iridescent beads to create a chandelier that would hang from the restaurant’s vaulted ceiling. Each participant also was given a metallic gold bead to string.

“The idea of individual colored beads was a way to emphasize and acknowledge the number of community members who participated,” says Ledinek, noting more than 500 people helped create the chandelier. “The role of the gold bead is literally a representation of a community member who took part in constructing the chandelier.”

Since the project was conceived, and due in part to the enthusiastic response it received, it’s evolved from a traditional chandelier to more of an art installation that involves several globe lights to help the 25,000 beads involved sparkle.

The chandelier’s dual role of greeting Trentina guests and welcoming the Sawyers to the neighborhood was very much by design.

“What I loved about (MOCA’s family mobile program) was at these tables were different people from different walks of life that live in different parts of the city all just there to share papier-mâché, pipe cleaners, beads and string.

It didn’t matter how old or young you were or how interested in the project you were, everyone was sharing,” Jonathon Sawyer says. “That was, for me, the a-ha moment. We needed to have some sort of community outreach.”

Amelia Sawyer feels Trentina’s beginning mirrors that of Uptown’s and University Circle’s as a true neighborhood, not just a destination district.

“I think restaurants are really great places for the community to meet – they always have been, and I think this is the beginning of a neighborhood,” says Amelia Sawyer, noting the established popularity of Ohio City and 11

Tremont. “They already have great restaurants and they have great things. Here, it’s kind of all starting. We’re at the cusp. MOCA is here, as are all the cultural institutions, but there isn’t that neighborhood feeling yet, you know, with everybody – not just the college, not just the hospitals.

“We want to know people, we want to be friends with MOCA, the Cleveland Botanical Garden and the Cleveland Museum of Art, and we want them to feel like they can come over and hang out with us,” she adds.

Jonathon Sawyer also feels a new momentum building around University Circle.

“It’s super exciting to see Uptown Cleveland really becoming the cultural anchor of entire Northern Ohio,” he says. “When you put what MOCA did two years ago when it opened in this stunning new space, and you put new tenants like us, Zack (Bruell, of L’Albatros Brasserie + Bar) and Britt-Marie Culey (of Coquette Patisserie) next to it, it’s really exciting to see the synergy.”

The food in this equation isn’t to be overlooked. Though Trentino is in Italy, Jonathon Sawyer says its history is peppered with flavors from Habsburg, German, Hungarian, Austrian, Italian and Ottoman rule, and as a result, the re12

| spring/summer 2014

gion’s food is representative of those influences.

“Even though people hear ‘Italian’ and they want to see red sauce and cavatelli, you’re going to see more faro, buckwheat, venison and sauerkraut than you are those things, which I think is going to be enlightening – and very comfortable,” the chef says of Trentina’s menu.

“It has the Italian sensibilities of light, refreshing, properly sourced fare, but with the spices of seasonings of Germanic food.

“I think that’s going to be a really interesting thing for us to express here in Cleveland, but also, it hasn’t really happened in America,” he adds.

Jonathon Sawyer says few things are more gratifying to him and his family than being accepted by the community, as Team Sawyer has been through the chandelier project. Amelia Sawyer says the MOCA collaboration has led them to feel at home in University Circle.

“We live right up the hill (in Cleveland Heights), so that’s part of it. We love this neighborhood, we already feel a connection, we love Cleveland Heights,” she says. “We wanted it to feel like home, and involving people around us and getting to know everybody is how you make a home.” CV

The Art of the Forgery Inside the Shadows and Intrigue with ‘Intent to Deceive’

A

rt forgers force us to question our concept of creative originality and corrupt the cultural record. Yet, a reality of art collecting is that relatively few artists are celebrated as masters, producing a strong incentive for forgers to duplicate famous works and to foist their copies as originals. “Intent to Deceive: Fakes and Forgeries in the Art World” is a ground breaking, national touring exhibition highlighting five notorious art forgers from the 20th century to the present, exposing their infamous legacies and analyzing how their talent beguiled and assaulted the art world.

“Intent to Deceive” will be a featured exhibition from Sept. 2 to Oct. 26 at the Canton Museum of Art. Art fraud is one of the most serious challenges facing museums today. Therefore, it is critical to go behind the scenes and examine how these forgers used artful methodology to fool the experts, art dealers and institutions that validated and collected their work.

Several ingenious forgers of the 20th century are profiled, representing some of the most infamous scandals of the century. Han van Meegeren, Elmyr de Hory and Eric Hebborn all shook the art world with their exploits, garnering each of them worldwide notoriety but untimely deaths. More recently, John Myatt and Mark Landis have been in the news for their prolific and stylistically diverse art frauds.

All were unable to make a career based on their own artistic style. So they found fakery and forgery to be their most accessible avenue to recognition and commercial success.

Original works by artists such as Charles Courtney Curran, Honoré Daumier, Raoul Dufy, Philip de László, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Paul Signac, Maurice de Vlaminck and others are juxtaposed with the art of the world’s most accomplished art forgers to test perceptions of authenticity.

Discovered is how these criminals plied their trade and perpetrated some of the most spectacular acts of deception in modern times.

by Raimondo Luciani, 1991. The works by Hebborn in public collections is unknown. From 1961 until his death in 1996, he claimed he created between 500 to 1,000 drawings in the styles of dozens of Old Masters.

Delving into the psyche and behavior of art forgers in the 20th century through the present day, “Intent to Deceive” offers insight into some of the world’s most notorious con artists and the museums subject to their deceit. At times, art forgers have garnered public sympathy by throwing onto themselves the stereotype of a talented but undiscovered artist. This dynamic exhibition, however, de-romanticizes art fraud to show it is not a victimless crime. The forgeries, each a crime of opportunity, come from cunning and deliberate intent to deceive.

As forger Eric Hebborn (pictured above) said in 1991, “Only the experts are worth fooling. The greater the expert, the greater the satisfaction in deceiving him.”

of Corita Kent

MOCA brings colorful works of social activist to Cleveland Story by Michael C. Butz Images provided by MOCA Cleveland 14

F

or many, the 1960s and ’70s are remembered as a time of social turbulence and transformation as well as for the emergence of various art forms that sought to capture the zeitgeist.

Musicians and artists alike rose to prominence documenting the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. Among them was Corita Kent, a nun, teacher, civil rights activist, feminist and antiwar advocate who as a graphic artist primarily used screen prints to convey her messages of peace and acceptance.

Kent’s work will be highlighted in a touring exhibition called “Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent,” which will make a stop in Northeast Ohio from June 27 to Aug. 31 at the

Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland.

A Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, King taught in the art department at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles from 1947 through 1968. While at the college, she developed her own version of Pop Art, mixing bright, bold imagery with provocative texts pulled from a range of secular and religious sources, including street signs, scripture, poetry, philosophy, advertising and song lyrics, according to MOCA. 15

“It’s definitely a very unique vision that Corita had,” says Rose Bouthillier, associate curator at MOCA. “Toward the end of the ’60s, she started getting quite involved in social activism, drawing from Newsweek and Time covers,” she says.

“She was active in protesting (the Vietnam War), as were her colleagues in different religious communities. ... She was definitely very keyed in to what was going on around her.”

Kent used printmaking as a populist medium to communicate with the world, and her avant-garde designs appeared widely as billboards, book jackets, illustrations and posters. Kent sought out revelation in the everyday, exploring grocery stores, car dealerships and Hollywood streets for inspiration.

“Someday is Now” will feature more than 200 serigraphy prints, including early abstractions and text pieces as well as more lyrical works made in the ’70s and ’80s, according to MOCA. In addition, the exhibition will present rarely exhibited drawings and photographs Kent used for teaching and documentary purposes.

Unique to the Cleveland presentation of “Someday Is Now” is a colorful 40-foot-long banner Kent designed for the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

“The banner was actually purchased by the United Church of Christ after the fair came down; then their headquarters moved to Cleveland, and they brought the banner with them,” Bouthillier says. “This beautiful historical piece will only be shown at Cleveland’s iteration of the show.”

Named “The Beatitudes,” the banner is a mix of Bible-like phrases – such as “Happy are those who make peace, for they will be

known as sons of God” – and quotes from former President John F. Kennedy and Pope John XIII, both of whom died in 1963, a year before the World’s Fair.

Though the banner was displayed for a time in the early ’90s at United Church of Christ’s downtown Cleveland headquarters, it spent the last 20 years or so hidden away in the UCC archives – until Bouthillier and other curators came calling in March.

Also part of MOCA’s presentation of “Someday is Now” will be opportunities for visitors to enjoy a hands-on experience.

From 1 to 3 p.m. each Saturday in July and August, a printmaking studio will be available in which visitors can work with a facilitator to create a screen print using the techniques, colors and forms that Kent employed in her work.

Participation is free with admission.

From noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, a community printmaking day will be held in which families and community members are invited to experiment with various printmaking processes to create positive statements.

Participants in the free event will be encouraged to make at least one large print that will be displayed in August at the 2014 Gay Games in Cleveland.

“So much of what Corita did was catalyzing groups of people,” says Bouthillier, adding that “Someday is Now” affords visitors “the opportunity to come to the museum and respond not only to the exhibition but also to the contemporary issues of Cleveland or things happening in your life.

“Bringing people together from different communities to make things is an important aspect of what Corita did, and in that same spirit, we can give this show,” she says. CV 17

More than a

theater Known for its namesake movie house, the Cedar Lee district offers dining, artistic, retail options for all tastes Story and photography by Michael C. Butz

ou’ve just spent an afternoon at one of University Circle’s many museums and you’re looking for a destination where you can end your evening. While there are plenty of places from which to choose, you might consider the Cedar Lee – not the movie theater, but the whole district.

“I think people often discount there’s more than just the Cedar Lee Theatre, which is a wonderful anchor for us,” says Kelley Robinson, director of the Cedar Lee Special Improvement District. “Whether you’re a film buff, foodie or just looking for a friendly place to eat, shop or even catch a play, we invite you to discover what really is one amazing mile.”

That mile – defined by the well-traveled intersection of Cedar and Lee roads in Cleveland Heights – spans the Lee Road corridor from Cain Park to the north to Dobama Theatre and the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Library’s Lee Road branch to the south.

In between is an eclectic mix of dining options, many of which offer an al fresco experience in the summertime. Mediterranean fare can be found at Anatolia Café; Thai cuisine at both Lemon Grass and Lotus; fine Italian food

at Marotta’s; something to satisfy one’s sweet tooth at Sweetie Fry or Mitchell’s Fine Chocolates; and both The Tavern Company and Brennan’s Colony have been favorite watering holes in the neighborhood for more than 30 years.

“Whatever your palate desires, we offer it in the Cedar Lee district,” says Robinson, adding that two relatively new businesses – BottleHouse Brewery and the Katz Club Diner – are thriving.

“Chef Doug Katz is a well-recognized chef having both fire food & drink (on Shaker Square in Cleveland) and Provenance at the Cleveland Museum of Art,” she says. “Both are doing very well. They have been wonderful additions to the northern portion of our service area and very welcomed by visitors to Cain Park.”

Art enthusiasts will also find much from which to choose. The Wine Spot is home to Art Spot, an exhibition space for Cleveland Institute of Art students, and Heights Arts’ gallery neighbors Cedar Lee Theatre.

Heights Arts’ first summertime exhibition, Space Divided, will run from June 13 through July 26; on July 10, its next EKPHRASTACY event – in which poets respond to visual arts – will be held; and through September, Heights

Arts will oversee a new public art program, Make Your Mark for the Arts, in which people are invited to make a stamp and “leave their mark” at a participating businesses and organizations.

Autumn will bring the return of Heights Music Hop, a district-wide series of musical performances that started in 2013.

“It was a unique mix of local music paired with our destinations and done collaboratively with Cleveland Beer Week,” Robinson says.

“Future Heights, which is one of our civic organizations, organized the event. Cellar Door Cleveland had multiple bands there, and there were additional bands from the area.

There were at least 10 stage venues, and other merchants had artists performing in their shops.”

There are also several shopping options, says Robinson, highlighting Revive Fair Trade Eco-Boutique, 20

which offers fashion accessories and housewares from around the globe; Simply Charming, which features contemporary fashions and jewelry as well as unique accessories and greeting cards; and Unique Melodies Boutique, which offers plussize clothing lines as well as simply fun fashions.

“We are an authentic Main Street environment, and over 80 percent of our merchants are local,” she says. “If you desire a friendly and quality customer service experience, whether you want to impress a first date or just unwind with good friends, we invite you to experience our Main Street hospitality.” CV

Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage

Inferno lights up the Maltz Museum

T

he Maltz Museum celebrates culture, identity and connection through the lens of Jewish heritage and history.

Uplifting, personal stories of survival, courage and creativity are brought to life through interactive exhibitions and thoughtprovoking programs that promote a greater appreciation for the diversity of the human experience. The museum encourages visitors to explore the commonalities that connect us and the issues that divide us in working toward a more tolerant and inclusive future.

Beginning in mid-July, the museum will continuously screen Inferno, a powerful new cinematic offering from renowned Israeli artist Yael Bartana. The short film centers on a replica of Solomon’s Temple currently being constructed by a Neo-Pentecostal Church in São Paulo, Brazil, and is certain to spark debate. In just 18 minutes, Inferno manages to implode traditional concepts of place, time and belief. Bartana combines real events with a “pre-imagining” that inspires a flood of questions around creation, ritual, memorialization and commercialization in the process. With its rich pageantry, stylized costuming and references to epic Hollywood blockbusters, Inferno has been referred to as a “visual feast.” The Maltz Museum’s video installation, running from July 17 through Oct. 19, is the film’s second showing in the U.S. and its Midwest premiere.

Other upcoming Maltz Museum exhibitions include: State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda – Fall 2014 “Propaganda is a truly terrible weapon in the hands of an expert,” wrote Adolf Hitler in 1924. Organized by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, “State of Deception” examines the Nazis’ keen understanding of mass communications and how they manipulated it in their quest to acquire power.

Chasing Dreams: Baseball & Becoming American – Spring 2015 Organized by the National Museum of American Jewish Heritage, “Chasing Dreams”
