Artists Space

Calling all artists!
Do you live in the moment but wish you could find ways to be better prepared - financially, professionally, creatively? Artists Space is proud to launch a new series of workshops and opportunities that will provide a broad range of survival skills for the practicing artist. The season begins with three workshops, and will continue through July 2004 with sessions that cover copyright issues, negotiation skills, letters of agreement and contracts, marketing, portfolio and packet preparation, fundraising and generally, how to get your foot in the seeemingly closed door of the art world. All workshops are free! (but you have to sign up in advance as places are limited.)

Born and bred in NYC, Denise Fasanello thrives off its pulse and energy while taking refuge in the Catskills. She studied fine art at The Cooper Union in Manhattan and at The Garrett Retveld Acedemia in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She’s worked in the arts and architecture world before founding her floral studio in 2009. She currently resides in Brooklyn, NY and continues to create art in a variety of mediums.

Paul Henry Ramirez's works are provocative, sensuous and surreal. Imagery in both his paintings and installations is injected with a biomorphic sensibility that is derived from Ramirez's interest in transcending both internal and external elements of the human body and transforming them into a fresh language of literal and symbolic form. In his site-specific installations, Paul Henry Ramirez approaches architectural space as an empty canvas in which he pushes paint into the constraints of a volume of space. Mr. Ramirez presented a one-person exhibition at the Whitney Museum at Philip Morris in the summer of 2002. His work has appeared on the covers of Art Papers and Smock magazine and has been reviewed in, among others, The New York Times, Art in America, ArtForum, Flash Art, Time Out New York, New Art Examiner, Art Papers, The Village Voice and The Cincinnati Enquirer.
