Bev Richey/Artist Bio

My undergraduate degree in psychology is from the University of Connecticut and in 2008 I began advanced studies in art history at UW-Milwaukee. From 1978 to 1994, I had an active public art career in the New Haven, Ct area. 

 

A 1995 move to a rural Wisconsin farm town,  from this east coast urban center within commuting distance to NYC, allowed me to rest and recuperate.  

 

My early art life included many socially conscious and feminist site-specific performances, installations, exhibitions, and social engagement projects. I worked as an arts administrator, an arts organizer, and an artist. While creating in a variety of transient media and later influenced by Judy Chicago I became best known for working in the feminist medium of cake. 

 

In 2020 ARTSPACE a contemporary gallery in New Haven, Ct included a retrospective exhibit of one of my large-scale works (1988) called “The Amazing Bureaucratic Birthday Cake” serving the people in a group exhibition titled “Who Governs?” That same year The New Haven Museum included another early project of mine in an exhibition titled “Factory”. This work was a group exhibition I organized titled the “First Show of 1984” based on George Orwell’s novel. 

 

“Later, experimental artist Beverly Richey took over PMVI and developed groundbreaking work in feminist art and the subject of food as a political statement. She was the driving force behind PMVI's legendary one-day “1984” exhibition in the former factory, which had crowds of visitors lined up around the block.” NHM

 

"PMVI- The Papier Mache Video Institute,  New Haven’s premier DIY avant-garde artists collective that hosted the legendary “1984” exhibition, the largest Elm City underground art show in the 1980s." The New Haven Museum 2020 

 

 

Relocating from a  populated urban area to a rural Wisconsin town (in the Driftless Region) of under one hundred residents, resulted in developing an intimate relationship with natural time and space. This led to a deep interest in nature’s impact on the human experience. Now after several decade-long investigations into these insights, my work identifies as the “Human/Nature/Series”. These interests in psychology and the natural world, have given birth to my current creative process and project. 

 In 2015 I added a  “painting” practice to my studio life. Shortly thereafter I introduced the “FIRST HUNDRED PAINTING SERIES” 2015-2022 In this project, I committed in advance to painting a hundred paintings as a way of trying something new. I recently completed #50 of the series. These paintings range in size but average around 3x4FT. They are organic abstract forms in a wide range of colors that reflect a variety of psychological concepts including Carl Jung's theory of missing psychological parts to contemporary ideas about brain plasticity.

Please include a short description of what your proposed exhibit will be about.

In 2016 after working as an artist in various mediaThe opportunity to paint presented itself and I began  “The First HUNDRED PAINTING Series”.  Inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s 2008 book "Outliers," which claims that "ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness." I trusted the importance of putting the time and commitment into the work without judgment. Below are more recent samples of completed canvases.  I just reached the halfway mark in the project. For this proposed exhibition, I plan to incorporate newly created and older works as a way of exposing the development of this project and process. I believe “The First Hundred Painting Series” (TFHPS) demonstrates what it means to start something new and explore becoming a beginner again. At this moment when change is front and center, being reminded how to start again and try new things is the real lesson in TFHPS.

Beverly M. Richey (born April 25, 1953) is an American artist known for her work in cake, waste, feminist art, political conceptual performances, early social engagement and the significance of local issues in creating art. (foot note?)

 

Lenore Tawney (born Leonora Agnes Gallagher; May 10, 1907 – September 24, 2007) was an American artist known for her drawings, personal collages, and sculptural assemblages, who became an influential figure in the development of fiber art.[1]

 

Early life and education[edit]

The younger of two children born in New Haven, Ct to  American born Jewish parents Helen Liner Richey and Herman Richey. She left home at 18 to begin her college studies. Richey attended Upsala College in East Orange, NJ for a semester before returning to New Haven, Ct where she worked to support herself and began studies at South Central Community College. Upon completing that she moved to Storrs Ct to continue to study psychology at the University of Connecticut.

ROUGH DRAFT…. 

“FOR THE FIRST TIME” (4THE1STIME*) Miriam Shusman, Jonathan Ellis, Adria Willenson, and Beverly Richey will be showing their artworks together. This project spearheaded by Milwaukee-based mosaicist Miriam Shusman put three other artists together in a small group to explore opportunities to create a manageable-sized group exhibition.

In the beginning, all four artists visited each other’s studios to learn more about their work and held short in-person meetings after the visits. Next, they established short weekly zoom meetings to brainstorm. Each volunteered to reach out to the community for possible exhibition venues. 

These efforts very quickly led to their first exhibit opportunity at Milwaukee’s  Urban Ecology Center. With a loosely based “Nature” theme, the four artists trying out the name "FORSIGHTS" will be installing a range of works both past and present with connections to the Natural World. 

The hope is that their shared efforts in preparing to show together will create new bonds and connections between them, so that skills and individual strengths can be shared between them and of benefit to each other.  

On Wednesday Evening (time) Please Join this "First/Time/Together" Group Show to witness and celebrate its debut as they demonstrate their attempt to merge their work together into a group exhibition incorporating the NATURE theme.. 

Featured at the Opening Reception will be a Spoken Word Piece by Milwaukee-based guest artist-poet Suzanne Rosenblatt. 

Also as part of the Opening Reception: All four participating artists will share some behind-the-scenes aspects of working together for the first time exposing the NUANCED/NATURE of doing something together “FOR THE FIRST TIME”
