Collision, a conversation with artist Deborah Dancy
This event, originally scheduled for March, was held online via Zoom
Deborah Dancy, Fine Art Juror for YCP’s 2020 Annual Juried Student Exhibition, is an artist who works in a variety of media. Her paintings, drawings, artist books, photography and sculptural objects examine and mine abstraction’s potential to move across mediums and materials exploring subtlety and confrontation. In her work there is an undercurrent of nuance and tension, as if something is poised to happen. Paintings and drawings are constructed by tangential linear demarcations and erasures; abutting shapes and colors are inserted to provoke and entice, yet disrupt.
Dancy’s exhibition at Marketview Arts, Collision, combines three bodies of work; large, formally-driven abstract paintings; small found objects modified to explore issues around race and power; and collaged works on paper that create a bridge between the paintings and objects, referencing both the mark-making of the paintings and the sociopolitical content of the objects.
Deborah Dancy was born in Bessemer, Alabama and now lives in Storrs, Connecticut. Her work is represented by Sears-Peyton Gallery, New York; N’Namdi Contemporary Fine Art, Miami; K Imperial Fine Art, San Francisco; and Robischon Gallery, Denver, Colorado. Her work is in many public and private collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art and Detroit Institute of Arts. She is a Guggenheim Fellow and Professor Emeritus at the University of Connecticut.

Niko J. Kallianiotis: America in a Trance
1st Floor, Marketview Arts
Exhibition: April 5 – 28, 2019 Reception: April 5, 2019, 5:00 PM
Niko J. Kallianiotis is a professor of photography at Drexel University in Philadelphia. This series “is an ongoing observation of the fading American dream so typified in the northeastern Pennsylvania landscape but widespread across the United States. Industrialism provided a place where immigrants from tattered European countries crossed the Atlantic for a better future. While my interest is not in the depiction of desolation, at times it becomes necessary to the narrative. I search for images that reflect, question, and interpret life in the towns and cities across the Keystone State, and the yearning for survival and cultural perseverance.”

Adam DelMarcelle: Our Town
October 25 – November 26, 2018
Brossman Gallery (on campus)
Lecture: Thursday, October 25, 2018, 5:30 PM, DeMeester Recital Hall
Adam DelMarcelle’s Our Town is an installation that represents the current landscape of the heroin and opioid epidemic and how communities and institutions are responding to the crisis. Informed by intense research and motivated by his own experience of tragic loss, DelMarcelle has constructed an immersive, deeply moving environment for contemplation. Previous iterations have combined video projection, automated carousel slide projections, and audio recordings. For this manifestation of the project, the artist has pared down the elements to create a deeply personal, quiet, and emotionally powerful experience for the viewer.
DelMarcelle’s design activism has attracted not only the attention of city officials, police and media in his hometown of Lebanon, PA, but also national attention in publications like the Huffington Post.
Epidemic: an exhibition by Dr. Eric Avery and Adam DelMarcelle
October 25 – December 19, 2018
Cora Miller Gallery (on campus)
Lecture: Thursday, October 25, 2018, 5:30 PM, DeMeester Recital Hall
This exhibit brings together the work of two activist artists, Eric Avery and Adam DelMarcelle, as they bear witness, and call us to action as the opioid epidemic claims the lives of 197 people a day in the United States.
Eric Avery is an artist and psychiatrist with a long history of making art related to his medical work with refugees, human rights abuses, HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C. During the time of HIV/AIDS, his prints captured truthful moments in the pandemic sweeping the world and his pioneering art medicine actions demystified HIV testing and AIDS care by conducting testing and exhibiting medical care in the gallery and art museum settings. He has tried to show how art can save lives.
Adam DelMarcelle’s prints and social art actions have been made in Pennsylvania, on the frontlines of the exploding opioid epidemic and have functioned to educate and mobilize community response through compelling his viewers to ask better questions and to always be suspect of the information given by those in power. After losing a brother to an opioid overdose, DelMarcelle committed his life to the betterment of his community through his work as an educator and artist.
An epidemic is defined by the artists as a progressive descent from physical, psychological and community wellness which is often ignored until the suffering and death from our human family can no longer be hidden behind the walls of the power structures’ status quo. Successful interventions during epidemics often require all persons within a community to ask themselves what part they play in the landscape of the problem and how they might best participate in reducing harm and restoring wellness.
During an epidemic, the past can repeat itself and previous lessons have to be relearned. In January 2018, when the Governor of Pennsylvania declared a statewide health disaster for the opioid and heroin epidemic, we were reminded of the hopelessness and terror of the 1990’s, when HIV/AIDS was spreading and many were dying. If history repeats itself in the current opioid epidemic, the hopelessness, stigma and death will be reduced as the understanding of contributing factors grows, treatment approaches improve and community resources are marshalled to respond.
In this exhibit, Avery’s historical prints position the opioid epidemic in a larger context of earlier epidemics. DelMarcelle’s installation of Our Town and current print series will take the viewer through the streets of Lebanon, PA where heroin is being sold and people die. Within the gallery, a Harm Reduction art action space will be used for Harm Reduction education, including Naloxone training, information sessions on needle exchange and safer using methods. Information will be available in the space for those seeking help, support and available treatment options. Harm reduction at its core meets people where they are with compassion and aims to keep them alive.
With the goals of supporting the development of a deeper understanding of the opioid epidemic and to encourage reflective thinking about harm reduction as a needed immediate response, the exhibit bears witness and encourages reflective thinking. An art gallery as a space for healing and harm reduction? Why not? Art can save lives.

What Were You Wearing?
October 5 – 27, 2018
3rd Floor, Marketview Arts
Reception: October 5, 2018, 5:00 PM
The “What Were You Wearing?� Survivor Art Installation originated at the University of Arkansas in 2013. Created by Jen Brockman and Dr. Mary Wyandt-Hiebert, the project was inspired by Dr. Mary Simmerling’s poem, What I Was Wearing.
Dr. Wyandt-Hiebert and Ms. Brockman had worked as sexual violence and intimate partner violence survivor advocates for over a decade when the Installation was created. The Installation was born out of an advocacy lens. The question, “what were you wearing?� was pervasive for most survivors. Dr. Wyandt-Hiebert and Ms. Brockman wanted to create a project that would place the work of bearing witness to this question’s answer back on the shoulders of the community and humanize the survivor in the answer. To ask the question, “what were you wearing?� cost the questioner nothing, there is no labor in making this statement. However, the survivor must pay dearly in not only their answer; but also, in the burden of self-blame. The Installation challenges participants to engage with the universal connection we have with clothing and reflect on what gives this specific rape culture myth so much power. To put clothing on is so basic and common, to take that action and conflate it with pain and suffering taints not only the individual outfit for the survivor; but also, calls in to question all simplistic and normal behaviors as dangerous. The Installation asks participants to understand that it was never about the clothing and the act of shedding those clothes is never enough to bring peace or comfort to survivors. The violation is not simply woven in to the fabric of the material, it is a part of the survivor’s new narrative. If only ending sexual violence was as easy as changing our clothes. Instead it requires all of us to evaluate what enabled us as individuals and as a society to ask, “what were you wearing?� in the first place.
Paul Rucker: In Her Words
October 5 – 27, 2018
3rd Floor Anteroom, Marketview Arts
Reception: October 5, 2018, 5:00 PM
Guggenheim Fellow Paul Rucker’s work often represents his research into incarceration and racial disparities in the US criminal justice system. This video work, with a soundtrack featuring Rucker playing the cello, uses the famous case of Brock Turner, a Stanford University student convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious victim, to demonstrate how young white men accused, and in this case convicted of sexual assault, are given preferential treatment in our court system. Following the jury’s verdict finding Turner guilty Judge Aaron Persky, who presided over the case, said, “”I mean, I take him at his word that, subjectively, that’s his version of events. The jury, obviously, found it not to be the sequence of events.” The prosecution sought a 9-year sentence, 5 years less than the 14 year maximum sentence. Persky gave Turner a 6-month sentence, of which he only served half. Turner’s father called the sentence “a steep price to pay for 20 years of action out of his 20 plus years of life.” Rucker’s piece focuses on how those 20 minutes affected the victim, presenting her story in her words. The words move quickly, forcing the viewer to not look away.

Erin Fostel: Vanishing Scale
July 6 – August 18, 2018
Marketview Arts
Opening Reception: Friday, July 6, 5:00 PM
Baltimore-based artist Erin Fostel creates gorgeous, large-scale drawings. Her subjects tend to be people, places and things drawn with detailed perfection. Her recent series of architectural drawings began as she mourned the loss of her father, an architect, in 2014. Fostel set about exploring parts of Baltimore City she did not know well, places she thought would interest her dad, and this process of discovery became the foundation of her new work. Her interest is not in simply documenting buidings, but in capturing feeling. By exposing the drawing’s framework, she reveals both immensity of the structure and her own grief.
Presencia y Manifiesto: We Are Still Here
6 de julio – 4 de agosto de 2018
3rd Floor, Marketview Arts
Opens Friday, July 6, 5:00 PM
Presencia y Manifiesto is a group exhibition of Latinx, Black, Queer, Gay, Lesbian and other intersectional artists. The show is also a response to an administration that threatens our people, our communities, and our livelihood. The works presented here span a variety of mediums and themes, yet, they are united by the politics of the personal and the vibrancy of ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations. As an attempt to reclaim a space for our unapologetic artistic expression, this exhibition presents a confluence of works that by the act of being created pose a challenge to those trying to silence our voices. These pieces are a testament for the resistance; they speak of brown, black, and queer beauty, they are our living presence, they have become our manifesto. - Joaquin Calles Guzman (Photograph by Osmyn Oree)

TYPORAMA 8.0
June 7 – July 7, 2018
Brossman Gallery (on campus)
Reception: June 7, 5:00 - 7:00PM
Showcasing the typographic work of students, Typorama demonstrates the varied media use and experimentation of our Graphic Design program. Well-steeped in typographic history, usage and process, students engage in wordplay, expression and analysis of form, all in a distinctively letter-based way. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always with the viewer in mind, students challenge themselves to create pieces that push the limits of their creativity, ability and command of language. Graphic Designers at YCP are taught the importance of self-initiated creative work as an integral part of doing excellent client-driven work. Typorama gives us a peek at their inquiry.
Dan Lobdell: City Facades & Surfaces
June 1 – 26, 2018
Marketview Gallery
Artist Talk/Reception: Saturday, June 23, 11:00 AM
Over the last four years I’ve been photographing late–19th and early–20th century building facades in Rust Belt cities such as Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. This work is part of a longer-term project dealing with the landscape of America’s industrial heartland. The buildings represent a range of architectural styles including Renaissance Revival, Beaux Arts, Art Deco, and early Modernist. They housed institutions and businesses during a period when the Rust Belt cities were at their height of economic and political power. More recently, these communities have struggled to deal with the effects of de-industrialization, diminishing populations, and general urban decline. My goal is to investigate how these buildings, in their stateliness and various degrees of disrepair, engage with the environment of this new urban reality. So far, I’ve learned a few things about this region — first and foremost, that not all Rust Belt cities are the same. While some, such as Detroit, have suffered a great deal due to the near collapse of a single industry (an industrial/economic mono–culture), other cities have been able to develop new types of enterprises grounded in existing institutions such as hospitals and universities. Pittsburgh, a prime example of the latter, has a thriving downtown area with outer neighborhoods that are stable and livable from a middle class perspective. However, most of the cities I’ve photographed fall between these two extremes, where multiple attempts at revitalization exist in near proximity to structures that are neglected and left to decay. It’s this moment of instability and change in the human ecology of the old industrial city that interests me most. I believe that this is an important time to document these places, and that careful photographic description is a mode that meshes well with the current visual reality, as well as with the long industrial, technological, and design histories of these places. — Dan Lobdell
War of the Roses
June 1 - 22, 2018
Gallery Hall (3rd Floor, Marketview Arts)
560 years after the original Wars of the Roses began in medieval England, a new clash is brewing between the House of York and the House of Lancaster. Wearing the badge of the White Rose, select artists of York will engage in a visual skirmish with their counterparts of Lancaster, who march west on Route 30 under the banner of the Red Rose. An occasion more for sibling revelry than rivalry, participants will be selected by curators from York and Lancaster who will raid each other’s vibrant art community to ––assemble a group of artists worthy of their royal inheritance.

Ry Fryar: Detail
May 4 – 26, 2018
Marketview Gallery
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 5:00 PM (Artist Talk at 6:30PM)
“What we choose to see as detail says as much about who we are as the subject at hand. If we were bigger, or smaller, we would see different kinds of detail. It scales us, marks our relative size in the universe, and reveals what we care about most.
My interest in detail started when I was a kid, when one summer my parents put me in swimming lessons. The pool was highly chlorinated and nobody told me about goggles. My vision blurred and eyes burned for hours after.
It was the worst in bright light and it would have been easier to keep eyes shut. But the chlorine halo made the world seem so very strange, that I absolutely had to keep my eyes open whatever the cost. For a few hours, my ability to see detail broke. I remember opening my eyes as wide as I could despite the burning, amazed that I could no longer choose what to focus upon. Light, dark, color, movement, all of it fought for my attention and none of it won. My visual focus sort of spread out, become broader and less refined. I saw much more than usual, but somehow I was too small to comprehend.
This show documents my continued interest in the act of perceiving detail over the course of about 15 years. It is a selected sample of artwork I have made to expand and/or contract my ability to see. In these series, I attempt to shift my own scale though the act of perception, drawing and painting. Just a tiny scale shift, just enough to see if I can perhaps approximate the kind of detail that I might see if I were just a bit bigger or a little smaller than I actually am. This show includes three general areas where I have experimented with perception and detail in this way.
First, maps are a great device for exploring detail. They exclude nearly everything, all of the world except for a bare few remainders designated as important such as a road, boundary, or zone. A map says a lot about which details matters most for the mapmaker.
Second, detail in landscape contends directly with complexity. I cannot paint everything I see because I do not have enough time. Of necessity, landscape painting is the result of excluding practically everything except for the very few details that I designate as important. In a natural panorama, complexity is often about repetition. Hills, clouds, trees, branches, leaves, flowers and twigs all repeat. Variation in spacing, scale and overlap obscure this essential truth, but repetitive form is why real landscape overwhelms. In these works, I try to focus detail on the things not usually focused upon. Much of this series is about shifting detail towards the scrub; that endless web of twigs, branches and messy brambles normally edited out of landscape.
Third and last, I am interested in movement and its connection to detail. Our eyes jump immediately to the movement of fire, explosion, dogs running, the evidence of wind across the land or pushing through the clouds. Movement itself its own sort of detail, blurring and decreasing all the elements around it, drawing our attention to it weather we choose so or not.” – Ry Fryar
Ry Fryar is a visual artist and the coordinator of fine art at York College of Pennsylvania. He earned his MFA from The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. His artwork has been exhibited in solo and group shows across the country. Ry is one of the originating facilitators for the Marketview Arts Center, the Appell Fellowship Program and the YCASE high school art exhibition series.
Generations
May 4 – 25, 2018
Gallery Hall (3rd Floor, Marketview Arts)
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 5:00 PM
Generations is an exhibition in which regional artists of varying age are paired according to similarities in the conceptual and/or formal qualities of their work. Co-curated by YCP gallery director Matthew Clay-Robison and professional artist and educator Ophelia Chambliss, this exhibition seeks to make intergenerational connections between artists in our community that provide opportunities to expand individual networks and establish new bonds of friendship and respect that provide learning opportunities for both artists and their audience. This concept builds on an exhibition Chambliss curated in 2017 called 12 Black Women Artists that brought together artists ranging in age from 15-65.
Of Value: an exhibition of drawings (curated by Matthew Apol)
May 4 – 26, 2018
Coni Wolf Gallery (2nd Floor, Marketview Arts)
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 5:00 PM
” . . . a lot of people refuse to consider drawing in the same way as a painting, sculpture, or other form of art. Art dealers tend to overlook drawings; treating them as if they are a lesser form of art when compared to paintings, sculptures, and other directions. The importance of drawing is often downplayed by artists as well — specifically artists with little interest in drawing. In many ways these attitudes have conditioned the public to dismiss drawing compared to other forms of art. I, for one, feel that we should strive to change the way people think about the art of drawing.”
-Brian Sherwin

Visionaries: The Work of Thornton Dial and Purvis Young
February 1 – March 24, 2018
1st and 3rd Floor Galleries, Marketview Arts (Downtown)
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 1, 5:00 p.m.
Visionaries pairs the work of two important self-trained, expressionist artists, Thornton Dial and Purvis Young, whose work often communicates the experience of Black Americans in the south. Dial grew up in Alabama’s rural western flatlands and lived in Alabama his whole life, while Young was born and died in Miami. Both artists combined painting with collage, often using found objects that in the case of Dial were used to create large-scale relief assemblages. There is a storytelling aspect to both artist’s work, with common themes including war, racism and other sociopolitical issues. These works are on loan from the Grumbacher Collection.
Jan Conradi: Italian Moments
December 1 – 20, 2017
Coni Wolf Gallery (2nd Floor,) Marketview Arts (Downtown)
Opening Reception: Friday, February 2, 5:00 p.m.
Each of these images is a window into a story of my time and travels and the people I’ve met (or simply observed) in the small villages and beautiful cities of Italy. These images are a record of ordinary days and happenings that seem extraordinary to us only because we don’t have olive groves in our backyards, we don’t live in centuries-old buildings, we don’t hang our laundry from a balcony over the street. Although differences make intriguing photographs, I document much that is the same: we sit and share a laugh with friends, place bright flowers at our doorsteps, do the jobs that need to be done, and hope for lives fulfilled with happy days and good memories. - Jan Conradi
Chris Dacre: Man Up (War is Fun!)
December 1, 2017 – January 20, 2018
Marketview Arts (Downtown)
Perspectives on Peace Lecture: Thursday, November 9, 7:00 p.m., Demeester Recital Hall
Gallery Talk: Friday, January 19, 4:30 p.m., Marketview Arts
Opening Reception: Wednesday, November 8, 5:00 p.m.
Man Up!, a site-specific installation at Marketview Arts, is in many ways the long-awaited follow-up to Wayne White’s 2014 exhibition, FOE. Like White, Chris Dacre’s work is large-scale, playful, and involves community participation in the creation process. Dare was Artist-in Residence for November. His work draws on his experiences as a U.S. Army veteran, making satirical commentary on the complexities of war. Man Up! explores American notions of masculinity and patriotism and how that intersects with the military/industrial complex. Dacre also delivered the 3rd annual Perspectives on Peace lecture on November 9 in DeMeester Recital Hall.
Rita Whitney: Life Cycle - A Journey of New Works
January 5 - 27, 2018
Marketview Arts (Downtown)
Artist Talk//Reception: Friday, January 19, 3:00 p.m
This work is incredibly special to me, far beyond the traditional abstract style that I’ve previously worked in. Previously I have either made work that was a bit cold and calculated, purely about color and form, or work that was so intensely emotional that it was more about therapy than art. In choosing simple subjects to work from, I have found freedom from the need to create in one style or the other, and am able to practice blending my personal experiences with my artists aesthetic in a softer, more accessible way.
- Rita Whitney

Nick Gorbey: Lokahi (Fall Senior Solo Exhibition)
December 1 – 20, 2017
Coni Wolf Gallery (2nd Floor,) Marketview Arts (Downtown)
Artist Talk/Reception: Thursday, November 30, 4:00 p.m.
“As a young boy I was fascinated by the ocean and it’s mysteries. I spent most of my days playing in the sand and swimming way out past where I could stand. Spending my life this way I developed a great deal of respect for the ocean and its inhabitants. From that respect grew a knowledge of the role the ocean plays in the sustainability of life on this planet. I was eager to learn more and in my research I was particularly interested about the whales and their role which lead me to where I am today.
The project Lokahi focuses primarily on the whales and how they are being effected by underwater sound pollution. With big sources like high powered sonar they are bombarded daily with loud sounds while trying to navigate and survive. Sound is killing thousands of whales and we need the whales for the health of the earth. Whales balance the oceanic ecosystem which in return directly effects the health of the ocean and weather. Whales also help filter the air of carbon making it healthier for us to breathe. This project got its name Lokahi because in Hawaiian that means working together in harmony, and that is exactly what we need to do to fix this problem.” - Nick Gorbey ’17
Ophelia Chambliss: 2/2 The Second Half
November 2 - 25, 2017
Marketview Arts (Downtown)
Artist Talk//Reception: Thursday, November 16, 5:30 p.m
This collection of work is transitional and represents the second half of my life in that I am reclaiming my time from having been a wife, from being a mother, from all the things that we are required to do throughout life. The representations in these pieces are eclectic, as I put whatever comes to my heart and mind, on canvas or any other surface that is available.
This show has everything from African Colonization to pretty pink flowers. Some pieces contain discourse and conversation, while others are visual, mental massages for the mind and the eyes. I love every piece in this show for what it does, and what it means.
-Ophelia M. Chambliss

Paul Rucker: Stories from the Trees (Artist Lecture/ Performance)
Saturday, October 7, 2017, 7:00PM
DeMeester Recital Hall (Beside the York College Galleries in Wolf Hall)
Visiting artist and 2017 Guggenheim Fellow Paul Rucker, whose exhibition REWIND is on display in the York College Galleries until October 21, is returning by popular demand for an encore performance in DeMeester Recital Hall (beside the York College Galleries in Wolf Hall) on Saturday, October 7 at 7:00 p.m. Stories from the Trees is a multi-disciplinary performance with Paul Rucker performing a live soundtrack on cello to re-imagine vintage lynching postcards that have been animated. Based on one survey, 4,742 African Americans were murdered by lynching between 1882 and 1968. Others were lynched as well, but not nearly in the same numbers- including people of Caucasian, Chinese, Latino, and Jewish descent. This performance will bring to life the different scenarios of lynchings, places where communities gathered with women and children proudly watching these atrocities. The images will suggest those of postcards that were made from photographs of lynchings as common practice. Many of these postcards are from the personal collection of the artist, Paul Rucker and will be on view during the show. The artist will also take questions from the audience both from the stage and in person inside the gallery.
Limited edition REWIND screen prints, made in collaboration with artist/printer Adam DelMarcelle, will be available for purchase by cash and check.
Martin Swift: CARNIS
September 1 - October 21, 2017
Gallery Hall (3rd Floor, Marketview Arts)
My work explores the nuances of masculinity in America. Due to unhealthy societal pressure to exhibit traditionally masculine traits like aggression, strength, dominance, courage, and honor males in the United States not only objectify other genders, but themselves as well. This creates something that I refer to as the Paradox of Manliness.
Objectification is presented in a range of symptoms. From body image issues and eating disorders to unhealthy competition, harassment, and violence.Pressures to adhere to a specific physical and intellectual aesthetic leave men feeling inadequate. The expectation that men confront the world impulsively and aggressively contributes to a cultural rejection of male empathy and compassion. My work depicts a spectrum of masculinity and emotional transparency. The paintings celebrate flesh, body modification, stretchmarks, and scars.
My work is a direct response to this Paradox, an acknowledgment of what lies beyond manliness.
Carnis is a collection of pieces that represent the evolution of this series.
Through painting and illustration, I seek to reframe the harsh void that exists between childhood and maturity as a world for the absurd. In crafting an abstract narrative punctuated by diverse visual cues and cultural imagery, I trust the viewer to resituate that which I render through figuration and create context and meaning for themselves. I approach my work with a sense of acute deliberateness and endeavor to present a complex map to my world of the weird.
