Opening Wednesday, September 9, "Conduits of the Unseen: Women Artists Imagine Other Worlds," curated by Susan L. Aberth brings together 17 artists from the early 20th century onward who gave visual form to alternate realities, spirits, cosmic forces, and other planes of consciousness.
One such artist is Juanita Guccione (1904-1999), who worked in New York in a surrealist vein. Her early paintings often feature amazonian women in mysterious settings. Later in life, she gravitated towards more abstract depictions of otherworldly spaces and landscapes reflecting her New Age interests. "Conduits of the Unseen" contains examples of both of these trends by Guccione.
See Guccione alongside Gertrude Abercrombie, Marjorie Cameron, Leonora Carrington, Sylvia Fein, Leonor Fini, Madge Gill, Juanita M. Guccione, Helen Kendall, Emma Kunz, La Phalérinienne, Paulina Peavy, Agnes Pelton, Hilla Rebay, Irene Rice Pereira, Adele Watson, Marie Wilson, and Agatha Wojciechowsky.
