SUMMARY:Gilbert Klingel: Man of Steel
DESCRIPTION:Film Director/Producer Dave Miller to introduce his newest film project: “Gilbert Klingel: Man of Steel” on Tuesday\, March 7 at 7 pm at the Gwynn’s Island Civic League building. \nNext Tuesday there will be a special event at the Civic League building to preview the upcoming PBS documentary about the sailboat “Freya” project and Gwynn’s Island boatbuilder\, Gilbert Klingel.  Director/Producer Dave Miller will be there to show the film trailer and talk about this project.  The film will feature Gwynn’s Island and the legendary Gwynn’s Island Boat Yard built by Klingel in the early 1950’s.  It will tell the story about Gilbert’s life and works and the goal of bringing his steel hulled sailboat “Freya” back to the island where she was built in 1953.  This vessel will be available for future generations to learn from and enjoy.  When the boat arrives at the Gwynn’s Island Boat Yard in May\, we plan to have a celebration and would appreciate the ideas you may have on how to celebrate. \nLocal residents will appear in this documentary and our local museums\, the Mathews Maritime Foundation and the Gwynn’s Island Museum are supporting our efforts.  We hope you can join us on March 7 and see how you too can become involved.  You will be quite amazed at what we have achieved so far but we’ll need the help of everyone to make this film a big success. \nOther Chesapeake Bay films by Dave Miller include: Journey on the Chesapeake (2016) and Oysters\, Boats\, and Men (2013).

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Joe Allen\, Dead Man's Curve
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of new work by acclaimed Texas-based artist Joe Allen. Opening reception Saturday March 11\, 5-7PM. On view through March 31. \n#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery is pleased announce Dead Man’s Curve\, an upcoming solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed Texas-based artist Joe Allen. When shopping for art supplies\, Allen has been known to frequent the back alleys of lumber yards and auto parts stores\, selecting mixed-media materials ranging from battery cables to corrugated steel in order to create his 3-d objects. \nOne of Allen’s prints “Twilight Time” adopts the title of a fifties doo-wop song by the Platters. Pokemon computer game characters\, in concert with the Ghost of John Lennon\, bring a mysterious warning to earth. In other work\, Jim Morrison and other since-passed-on personalities also appear as “rock and roll clairvoyants coming to warn us” of possible impending doom. \nJoe Allen (born 1949\, Texas) has exhibited widely at venues including the Sharjah International Biennial\, Studio DTFU in Dallas\, the Santa Barbara Contemporary\, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. He was awarded a NEA-Mid-America Arts Alliance grant in 1994 which he used to purchase video editing equipment\, creating his first body of multi-media work. Allen’s art is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston\, McNeese State University\, and private collections in the United States and abroad. \nThere will be an opening reception for the public on Saturday\, March 11 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Dead Man’s Curve will be on view through March 31. #FFFHEX will have gallery hours Saturdays 2:00 to 5:00 PM for the duration of the exhibition\, and also welcomes appointments outside of posted hours.

SUMMARY:Serendipity: Williams House Book Series Release
DESCRIPTION:#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery and Airprint Press are pleased to announce the Serendipity: Williams House 2014–2016 Book Series Release on April 29\, 2017 from 5–7 PM. There will be copies of the books for review and limited copies available for purchase. \nSerendipity: Williams House (S:WH) is the studio and experimental exhibition space of artists Lucy Kirkman Allen and Justin Hunter Allen. The Allens invited artists from across the USA and abroad to install artwork in a single room of a farmhouse in Onemo\, VA. Because of its isolated location\, these exhibitions were conceived and documented to exist solely in book form. Fourteen collaborators in eight books bring together critical and creative writing with paintings\, sculptures\, and prints. The project is about artistic relationships\, the studio ecosystem\, and extended conversations with friends. Contributor Michael Corris writes of the project\, “Maybe it’s the idea that there is still some life in the concept of the catalogue at all. The catalogue-as-work\, rather than simply document\, is the oldest Conceptual Art trick in the book. It is the book.” \nAfter moving to rural Mathews County\, the Allens started The Airplant Project to encourage conversation on contemporary regardless of location. Airprint Press\, part of The Airplant Project\, is an artist-run press dedicated to free access to its published books. The S:WH series is available for online viewing at www.airplantproject.org. Downloadable print files to make your own copies are also free on the website.

SUMMARY:Thomas James Store
DESCRIPTION:The Thomas James Store\, maintained by the Mathews County Historical Society\, Inc.\, is a rare and excellent example of an early nineteenth-century rural commercial building. Although it has undergone some alterations and was almost certainly moved from its original location\, the store retains much of its original fabric and is remarkably well preserved for its age. It dates to c. 1820\, and appears to be the oldest building in the downtown commercial district. It is a registered National Historic Building.

SUMMARY:By the Banks | Paintings by Jack Banks and Hunter Banks
DESCRIPTION:#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery is pleased to announce an opening reception for the exhibition By the Banks on Saturday\, May 13 from 5–7 PM. Father-and-son figurative painters Jack Banks and Hunter Banks both focus on the landscape surrounding their home in Wake\, Virginia near the Rappahannock River.  \nJack Banks paints dense forest and gnarled tree trunks. The expressive brushwork of his small panels seems to be alive with continuous motion: a downed tree crawls with the activity of decay; a branch whips in the wind. Jack explained that the paintings take time to mature\, and he will sometimes toss newly completed panels into the woods. After months pass\, he may stumble upon them and determine that they have come into their own\, or if not\, leave them in the thicket.  \nHunter Banks is drawn to the quiet clearings of homesites and the riverbank. His piece River with Ice on It depicts a giant prehistoric stump unearthed by erosion that is now\, after 30\,000 years rest\, quickly disappearing into the water. The forms of sky\, ice\, and land dissolve into austere abstraction. Hunter writes\, “I work at a walking pace\, slowly negotiating and agreeing with the scene until the consolidated colors\, simplified shapes\, and subtle marks settle my doubts\, whims\, and twinges into stillness.” He notes that texts on walking shared by his father inform his focus and sense of awareness.  \nBy the Banks presents pairings of their paintings with an eye to formal and emotional relationships. These beautiful works offer views of the Tidewater landscape and a look into the enigmatic artistic rapport of Jack Banks and Hunter Banks.  \nThe exhibition will be on view May 13–June 3. Please contact the gallery for an appointment to view the works by phone (804) 384-6288 or by email fffhexgallery@gmail.com. More information is available online at www.fffhex.com.  \nJack Banks studied art at Virginia Commonwealth University\, and the College of William and Mary. He and his family live in rural Tidewater\, VA where he has been employed in boat-building\, sign painting and graphic art. His drawings\, paintings and monotypes are in many private collections up and down the east coast.  \nHunter Banks is an observational painter who paints concise\, quiet images of landscapes\, structures\, objects\, and sometimes people. Banks was born in 1993 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art and Art History from Christopher Newport University in 2014. He lives and works in Middlesex\, VA and teaches visual art at Christchurch School.   \n#FFFHEX is an artist-run contemporary gallery that was founded in 2016 to share a curatorial perspective unique in Mathews Courthouse\, a small town on the tip of Virginia’s middle peninsula. The gallery features rotating exhibitions of painting and sculpture by local\, national and international artists. The name #FFFHEX plays on the graphic designer’s hexadecimal colors\, referring to the “white cube” philosophy of presenting artwork in a dedicated environment that is free from distraction.
