“Art & Ideas” takes position that art will always transcend a “bad economy”

A new art gallery and teaching studio is holding its grand opening Dec. 5, 2009, in the midst of troubling economic times. Yet this has not deterred Art & Ideas Gallery and Studio’s director and owner, Mike Tolinski, and its artist-in-residence, teaching artist Shaqe Kalaj. The gallery, located just north of Plymouth’s Old Village, will be showcasing over 40 of Kalaj’s drawings at this first opening, which will be followed periodically by new openings and shows of Kalaj’s work throughout 2010.

At Art & Ideas we believe that art is a transformative agent that is needed in our society. It contributes to well-being and societal relationships in multiple ways through every stage of life. To this end, we offer workshops, classes, lectures, and events in the community to contribute to this social change.

GRAND OPENING
Reception: Saturday, December 5, 7-11pm
1st showing

Dreaming Identity
by
SHAQE KALAJ

DEC 5 – JAN 14
artist talk 7:30pm, music 8pm


Dreaming Identity consists of 44 ink drawings. The artist poses the questions, “Do we live in our dreams? Does our sub-reality, what we dream of, venture into our daily reality?” These ink drawings take us into a world where houses are piled onto each other and human figures are meshed into their environment. Come see the work and hear the artist speak about these works that have escaped the dream world and entered our living world.
