Artists Cathleen Marie Thérèse Parra and Lauren Hlubny
Osmosis is a three panel video installation by Cathleen Parra in collaboration with dancer and experimental theater director Lauren Hlubny. The idea for the video installation was inspired by the emotions of eating, as well as our cultures disconnected relationship with food.
Food is no longer something we associate with nature, but with cans, plastic or cardboard packaging designed with a picture of the food existing in nature. As a culture we personify food as being good, bad, guilty, guilt free and so forth. Consequently this marketing trend has made way for the newly popularized 'super food'.
Artist Josephine Barrerio
The Significant Gesture: The Black and White Series by artist Josephine Barreiro, presents her exploration of emotion and intention through gesture. Gestures are a form of nonverbal communication in which visible bodily actions are used to communicate important messages. Gestures are represented by a movement or position of the hand, arm, body, head, or face. They express thought, intention, emotion and have meaning. Barreiro’s figures, be they human or animal, convey both emotional and visual responses to life’s experiences and interactions. It is important to recognize that it's our nonverbal communication, our gestures and posture, that speak the loudest.
BIO: (born in Newark, N.J.) - A daughter of immigrants from Spain, Barreiro grew up in Newark’s Ironbound area. This urban center and its diversity inspired her energetic colorful paintings as well as her black and white works on paper series, which also developed out of her love for abstract expressionism and graffiti art. Barreiro earned a M.F.A. in Fine Arts and MA in Art Education from New Jersey City University (N.J.) and a B.F.A from the School of Visual Arts (N.Y.). She is an Adjunct Professor at Kean University, She has exhibited at the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art (Colorado Springs, Co.), the Fountain Fine Arts Gallery (Framingham, Ma.), Joyce Gordan Gallery (Oakland, Ca.), Wilmer Jennings Gallery (New York, N.Y.), Human Rights Institute Gallery, James Howe Gallery (Union, N.J.), Newark Museum, Paul Robeson Gallery, City Without Walls, 27 Mix, {LIPS}, Index Art (Newark, NJ), Distillery Art Gallery, L.I.T.M, Lemmerman Gallery (Jersey City, N.J.), Ben Shahn Galleries (Paterson, N.J.); Raritan Valley Community College (Sommerville, N.J.) among other locations.

January 2016 Solo Exhibition | Tatiana Lopez
the journey within is an exploration of Tatiana’s journey as an artist and photographer. The show will look into all her various series, from her black and white “Sacred Body Series” to her most recent “Infinite Body Vibrations” and “Crystal Grid Mandalas Series”. As a photographer, her subject matter is the human condition, taking as her focal point the cultural diversity and identity of every person she engages with. As a visual artist her artwork has been inspired by repetitive patterns found in nature, the entire universe, and the geometrical and structural patterns that exist in all life forms.
