Art and Artist Community – Nassau Bahamas
How do we construct our realities? It’s something you may think about when you walk through the ceramic exhibition by 2011 Junior Residents at Popopstudios International Center for Visual Arts.
In “Habitat”, opening this Thursday February 16 from 6-9 p.m., College of The Bahamas students Alistair Stevenson and Keva Fawkes use their ceramic forms to explore the ways human nature collides with surrounding landscapes to form subjective realities.

The Transforming Spaces committee is completing plans for its eighth year on the Bahamian art scene.

With his studio space in the back and a gallery space at the front, Lunn both invites structure into his living space and injects informality into an otherwise very formal practice. Such a space presents more of a whole picture of the artist as well as a comfortable atmosphere where pressures to buy and sell are lifted, allowing easy and intimate conversation to flow.
“I learned from Kendal Hanna that spaces don’t have to be polished; shirts don’t have to be tucked in every time you show – sometimes a working space is appropriate,” said Lunn.
The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas was featured on ZNS last night, with video footage of the current exhibition, “As We Knew Him” – a tribute to Jackson Burnside.
