SUMMARY:ArtSpace Gallery exhibit - 'New and Improved'
DESCRIPTION:The ArtSpace Gallery at the Quad-Cities Campus is exhibiting “New and Improved\,” abstract art by Kent Broadbent\, from Monday\, Feb. 24 through Friday\, April 4. Pictured is “Blue and Orange Over Gesso” – cold wax and oil on panel. \nEveryone is invited to the closing reception and artist’s talk Wednesday\, April 2 from 4-6 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. \nThe ArtSpace Gallery is located on the first floor of Building 4 at the Quad-Cities Campus\, 6600 34th Ave.\, Moline. \nFor more information about exhibits in the ArtSpace Gallery\, email ArtDesign@bhc.edu or visit Black Hawk College Art and Design. \nAbout the artist\nKent Broadbent\, a long-time resident of the Annawan area\, grew up on the family farm his great grandfather purchased in 1865 and later built a house on. Broadbent and his wife still serve as caretakers to that homestead. He attended a small rural school and developed an interest in art when he was 12 years old. Broadbent’s mother believed that he and his siblings needed to develop their talents and encouraged them to develop and enjoy their skills and interests. The high school that he attended did not have art classes\, so his mother helped him get into night art classes from a local teacher\, and to his delight\, his mother later joined him in the classes. \n \nAs time went on\, Broadbent departed the family farm to attend Illinois State University. Although he graduated with a degree in psychology\, he took numerous painting and sculpture classes and continued to take drawing classes at Augustana College in Rock Island after graduation. He returned to the family farm and took over the farming operation. \nBroadbent dabbled in painting for a short time after he returned to the farm\, but life got in the way. He later worked in the financial industry as a loan officer for the bulk of his career. During that period\, his time spent on art diminished. He always had it in the back of his mind that when he retired\, the brushes would once again be full of fresh paint. \nIn 2010\, he was diagnosed with cancer and decided to again pursue his interest in art. He was painting again with new enthusiasm and a new found love and appreciation of life and art. \nHis joy of painting is evident to this day\, with the vivid colors he uses and the energy of his personal style. Broadbent believes the cancer diagnosis was a blessing in disguise and serves as his inspiration to create art. His preferred style is directed toward abstract expressionist lines\, although he occasionally dabbles in abstract landscapes from walking in the country around his farm. The last five years he has been working exclusively in cold wax and oil\, and loves the unique depth and richness that medium provides. \nArtist statement\nEvery new piece of my artwork starts with a line. Maybe it is an old No. 2 pencil or maybe a stick of charcoal. That line is the begin of a new work. I never know where the line will end up. I add new layers and remove partial layers to reveal the history of the layers. I use various instruments to paint with. I incorporate different materials such as sand\, pigment\, paper\, etc. to add texture. The fun of creating is going from a single line to a bold and vibrant abstract piece of work. I hope that when people see my finished work\, they find the joy that I lived creating the work of art. There is no deep philosophical thought behind my work\, but I hope people just lose themselves in my work.

SUMMARY:ArtSpace Gallery exhibit - Weavings by Anne Heide
DESCRIPTION:The ArtSpace Gallery at the Quad-Cities Campus is exhibiting “overshot\, interlocking” – weavings by Anne Heide – from Monday\, Aug. 29 through Friday\, Oct. 31. \nEveryone is invited to a closing reception Thursday\, Oct. 30 from 4-5:15 p.m. with an artist talk at 4:15 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. \nThe ArtSpace Gallery is located on the first floor of Building 4 at the Quad-Cities Campus\, 6600 34th Ave.\, Moline. \nFor more information about exhibits in the ArtSpace Gallery\, email ArtDesign@bhc.edu or visit Black Hawk College Art and Design. \nAbout the artist\nAnne Heide is a visiting assistant professor of art at Augustana College in Rock Island\, IL\, teaching weaving\, fabric design and sculpture courses. Heide received their MFA in fiber/textiles at the University of Kansas in Lawrence\, KS\, in May 2024. In May 2020\, they completed a graduate certificate concentrated in hand papermaking at University of Iowa Center for the Book in Iowa City\, IA. They graduated in Spring 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in studio art and gender\, women’s and sexuality studies from Grinnell College in Grinnell\, IA. \nIn their current work\, they consider the excess of usable clothing being produced due to global capitalism alongside the rigid gender and class norms that clothing embodies. They salvage donated secondhand clothes that are unlikely to find a new wearer\, whether because they are worn out\, defective or are simply an unpopular style. Drawing on the generally unremarkable forms of everyday clothes and garment racks\, they transform these unwanted clothes into artworks that create unexpected connections between different parts of the lifecycle of a garment\, and between different articles of clothing. To make these works\, they use traditional American craft practices used historically to repurpose old clothing such as quilting\, rag rug making and hand papermaking.  \n\nArtist Statement\nThis series of weavings exposes the generally hidden forms of retail clothing racks\, with the racks becoming the central motif rather than being hidden under rows of clothing for sale. Before fast fashion\, people had deep care and use relationships with each of their garments. My great-grandparents and grandparents all made many well-crafted home goods\, including clothing\, quilts and furniture\, but these practices were not carried on by their children (my parents\, aunts and uncles). Now\, clothing is considered disposable. With the rise of inexpensive readymade clothes produced by industrial textile equipment and underpaid mostly overseas labor came the rapid decline in common knowledge of textile construction techniques. \nIn these human-scale banners\, I reconfigure various traditional weaving patterns including overshot\, twills and waffle weave. Many of these patterns were used by early white settlers who colonized what is now the United States. They wove for subsistence before readymade cloth was available. Variations have also been used by weavers all over the world since shortly after the evolution of humans\, when weaving evolved too. The sculptural stands holding my weavings reference warp-weighted and vertical looms\, which have been used since prehistoric times. \nWith the invention of the Jacquard loom in the early 19th century\, weavers were suddenly able to incorporate complex organic shapes and combine patterns within their weavings in the course of a day or two in a way that was previously only possible with thousands of hours of work. At the same time\, other industrial textile equipment to produce all different types of fabric proliferated\, and the cottage textile industry in the early United States swiftly disappeared as factories took over cloth production. This disappearance followed the cultural erasure and land theft that the same white settlers acted out when they arrived in America and displaced and killed Indigenous people already living here. In much the same way\, the contemporary clothing industry continues to displace particularly the most marginalized people by polluting water\, creating unsafe and unsustainable working conditions\, and dumping unimaginable quantities of discarded clothing in landfills. \nI made these weavings using a very different type of Jacquard loom than the one invented in 1804\, which is also the kind that is still commonly used in industry today. The works in this exhibition were produced using a TC2\, or thread controller 2\, Jacquard loom\, invented by Vibeke Vestby in the late 1990s. Vestby’s objective was to return the power of increased thread control to handweavers: the TC2 is operated using a combination of digital image files (often created by hacking Photoshop) that the loom’s computer reads\, a vacuum pump fed in above the loom that individually raises specific threads to create the design\, and the physical movement of yarn through the path created by the loom’s raised threads that the artist operating the loom feeds in to make the cloth. Although Jacquard weaving was invented to eliminate the need for cooperative\, small-scale production\, weaving on the TC2 loom as I do to make these works recenters the Jacquard weaving process in the tradition of weaving as collaboration: maintaining the loom requires a team of people working together\, generally made up of artists and students who are also making weavings on the loom. \nThe collaborative nature of the TC2 inherently invites the sharing of knowledge and cooperative teaching. Although this exhibition cannot change the linear trajectory of clothing from factory to store to consumer to landfill\, and the cultural and environmental costs that comes with this cycle\, I do hope that it will inspire curiosity and criticality about how\, where\, why and for whom cloth is made.

Drawing on the generally unremarkable forms of everyday clothes and garment racks\, they transform these unwanted clothes into artworks that create unexpected connections between different parts of the lifecycle of a garment\, and between different articles of clothing. To make these works\, they use traditional American craft practices used historically to repurpose old clothing such as quilting\, rag rug making and hand papermaking.  \n\nArtist Statement\nThis series of weavings exposes the generally hidden forms of retail clothing racks\, with the racks becoming the central motif rather than being hidden under rows of clothing for sale. Before fast fashion\, people had deep care and use relationships with each of their garments. My great-grandparents and grandparents all made many well-crafted home goods\, including clothing\, quilts and furniture\, but these practices were not carried on by their children (my parents\, aunts and uncles). Now\, clothing is considered disposable. With the rise of inexpensive readymade clothes produced by industrial textile equipment and underpaid mostly overseas labor came the rapid decline in common knowledge of textile construction techniques. \nIn these human-scale banners\, I reconfigure various traditional weaving patterns including overshot\, twills and waffle weave. Many of these patterns were used by early white settlers who colonized what is now the United States. They wove for subsistence before readymade cloth was available. Variations have also been used by weavers all over the world since shortly after the evolution of humans\, when weaving evolved too. The sculptural stands holding my weavings reference warp-weighted and vertical looms\, which have been used since prehistoric times. \nWith the invention of the Jacquard loom in the early 19th century\, weavers were suddenly able to incorporate complex organic shapes and combine patterns within their weavings in the course of a day or two in a way that was previously only possible with thousands of hours of work. At the same time\, other industrial textile equipment to produce all different types of fabric proliferated\, and the cottage textile industry in the early United States swiftly disappeared as factories took over cloth production. This disappearance followed the cultural erasure and land theft that the same white settlers acted out when they arrived in America and displaced and killed Indigenous people already living here. In much the same way\, the contemporary clothing industry continues to displace particularly the most marginalized people by polluting water\, creating unsafe and unsustainable working conditions\, and dumping unimaginable quantities of discarded clothing in landfills. \nI made these weavings using a very different type of Jacquard loom than the one invented in 1804\, which is also the kind that is still commonly used in industry today. The works in this exhibition were produced using a TC2\, or thread controller 2\, Jacquard loom\, invented by Vibeke Vestby in the late 1990s. Vestby’s objective was to return the power of increased thread control to handweavers: the TC2 is operated using a combination of digital image files (often created by hacking Photoshop) that the loom’s computer reads\, a vacuum pump fed in above the loom that individually raises specific threads to create the design\, and the physical movement of yarn through the path created by the loom’s raised threads that the artist operating the loom feeds in to make the cloth. Although Jacquard weaving was invented to eliminate the need for cooperative\, small-scale production\, weaving on the TC2 loom as I do to make these works recenters the Jacquard weaving process in the tradition of weaving as collaboration: maintaining the loom requires a team of people working together\, generally made up of artists and students who are also making weavings on the loom. \nThe collaborative nature of the TC2 inherently invites the sharing of knowledge and cooperative teaching. Although this exhibition cannot change the linear trajectory of clothing from factory to store to consumer to landfill\, and the cultural and environmental costs that comes with this cycle\, I do hope that it will inspire curiosity and criticality about how\, where\, why and for whom cloth is made.

SUMMARY:ArtSpace Gallery exhibit - Encaustics by Cindy Lesperance
DESCRIPTION:The ArtSpace Gallery at the Quad-Cities Campus is exhibiting “Strata: A Record of Time and Disruption” – encaustics by Cindy Lesperance – from Monday\, Nov. 3 through Friday\, Dec. 12. \nEveryone is invited to a closing reception Thursday\, Dec. 11 from 4-5:15 p.m. with an artist talk at 4:15 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. \nThe ArtSpace Gallery is located on the first floor of Building 4 at the Quad-Cities Campus\, 6600 34th Ave.\, Moline. \nFor more information about exhibits in the ArtSpace Gallery\, email ArtDesign@bhc.edu or visit Black Hawk College Art and Design. \nAbout the artist\nCindy Lesperance is an award-winning encaustic artist based in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Known for her richly textured\, abstract works\, Lesperance explores the interplay of color\, surface and form through the ancient medium of encaustic. Her work has been exhibited in juried exhibitions\, galleries and museums throughout the United States and is included in both private and public collections internationally. \nShe is represented by Alma Gallery in Chicago and Plum Bottom Gallery in Door County\, WI. Lesperance is a board member at large and former president (2019-21) of FUSEDChicago\, a collective of Midwest artists working in encaustic. She also is an active member of the Women’s Caucus for the Arts. \nHer work has been featured in Encaustic Arts Magazine\, ACS Magazine and on the cover of the Journal of Financial Service Professionals. Notably\, her art is part of the permanent collection at the Encaustic Art Institute in Santa Fe\, NM. \nArtist Statement\nThis body of work uses the ancient medium of encaustic — a blend of beeswax\, damar resin and pigment — to explore how time\, memory and experience leave quiet traces on our inner landscapes. \nEach painting is created through a slow\, repetitive process: I apply thousands of small wax droplets\, one by one\, to the surface. The process is deliberate and meditative — an act of attention and endurance. While some areas follow this rhythmic pattern\, others are scratched\, marking moments of disruption or shift.  The surface becomes a kind of terrain — a tactile record of time\, attention and transformation. \nThe title — “Strata” — is drawn from geology: layers of rock or sediment that build up over time and record the forces that shaped them. I use that idea as a metaphor for human experience — not visible\, geological layers\, but emotional ones we carry just beneath the surface. \nThese works invite you to slow down. From afar\, you see rhythm and hue — but as you move closer\, the textures and evidence of time and touch begin to reveal themselves. \nMy hope is that you’ll reflect on your own internal layers — what has shaped you\, what you’ve let go of and what remains in quiet accumulation.
