Lisa Bisbee wraps the walls with artwork It's the end of the month, which means that rotating exhibits around town will shift into new imagery to get ready for the upcoming ARTWALK from 5pm to 8pm on Friday, July 13, 2012.Along with a group of artists, Lisa Bisbee enhances the walls of New Bern establishments, MJ's Raw Bar and The Next Chapter Bookstore. On Saturday, Michaelé Rose Watson and Blaine Kruger embellished the walls at MJs with brightly vivid colored canvases painted by Blaine Kruger. Lisa says,"With all the different sizes and colors, we could build consistency by aligning the top edge of the artworks and space each out evenly." Hanging a show is harder than it looks. Moving the pieces little to the left and then a little to the right, Lisa is grateful that Mike Lentz, owner of MJs Raw Bar, invested into a professional hanging system. The system is wired along the ceiling and dangles a hanging clip which slides as the composition of the wall unfolds. Later Saturday afternoon, Lisa Bisbee meets up with a group of artists at The Next Chapter Bookstore to hang a group show for summertime 2012. Big thanks to Patti & Tom Reeves for providing local artists the opportunity to showcase their talents. More about this group exhibit to come in the next blog post. |  Lisa Bisbee hangs her new en plein air acrylic painting of the Bank of the Arts at the Next Chapter Bookstore in New Bern.

An oversized canvas hovers near the entrance with deep reds and burnt oranges showing space as shadowed layers and folded illusion. Watson says about her artwork, "I continue to work in mixed media but now from a conceptual point of view. My ideas and forms are influenced by how we as humans interact with Nature. All the choices we make affect everything and everyone around us. My work helps to remind us of the choices and responsibilities we must consider."

Rejected May 7, 2012
Almost 100 years after Marcel Duchamp entered his porcelain piece into a juried show, Lisa Bisbee tests the perceptional waters of the art world by submitting a porcelain piece into a juried show.
Watch the video at NewBernNow.com as Lisa Bisbee submits a bidet to the Bank of the Arts' Juried Art Show 2012.
| New Bern is a small town in Eastern North Carolina established over 300 years ago. The mindset here is a mix of tradition with contemporary movements. Public sculpture parks and fine art galleries display modern art in its glory of perceiving the world in surrealistic fashion. From interactive digital art displays, to Objet trouvé, New Bern is showcasing fine art of all degrees. Lisa sees the rejection as an opportunity to showcase the art scene in New Bern to a broader audience. With intensive studies of art history, fellow SCAD alumni will understand the influence of Duchamp's urinal in today's world of art appreciation. "My art friends will be entertained with my attempt to submit a bidet into the juried art show," Lisa comments. See the video on youtube, click to view. | The past, present & future art submission. Lisa Bisbee submitted three pieces into the Bank of the Arts annual juried show on May 5, 2012. The concept was to document the past, present and future in the life of the artist.
The Past: submission of a Bidet to honor Marcel Duchamp
In 1917, Marcel Duchamp submitted a urinal to a juried art show, and his activity spurred the beginning of modern art. In 1985, Lisa viewed the replica of Duchamp's piece at the museum in Pittsburgh. Bisbee reflects, "It's presence motivated me to create art, because if the art world perceives a porcelain bathroom fixture as art, then surely I could be an artist also." At that point, Lisa transferred her credits from Carnegie-Mellon University to attend Savannah College of Art & Design. Professor Myers' sculpture class was Lisa's introduction into the modern art world learning about conceptual artists, performance artists, and the worthy-ness of found d'art.
The Present: submission of a en plein air painting on stretched canvas
Currently 2012, Lisa Bisbee paints scenes of Pollock Street in New Bern to capture the environment dedicated to preserving the history of this 300 year-old town. Each and every Saturday morning, Lisa has been setting up her easel and palette on the sidewalk in front of Baxter's old Jewelry building now housing New Bern Artworks and Studio 323, the home of working artisans.
The Future: a tied-up rolled blank canvas.
Tomorrow, Lisa Bisbee will choose to create another work of art. The blank canvas represents the future awaiting ideas and markings of an artist at work. The rejected piece will be on display during Bohemian Night on May 11, 2012
Enjoy the creative company during ARTWALK!
