Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art 2818 Frederick Ave. Saint Joseph, MO 64506 816-233-7003 www.albrecht-kemper.org LAURA TREAS- Laura Treas is a Needle Trades Advocate who founded a Full Service Design and Development agency that makes dreams come true for her clients. Taking their ideas and turning them into sellable products while coaching them through the process. She has had 7 clients pitch for Shark Tank as Startups for their inventions. As a Small Batch Manufacturing expert Laura empowers women to build their own micro-factories for sewing and train them on the products so that they can become the production managers for her clients. She also has her own line of compression undergarments and is considered a compression expert. FASHION IS GEOMETRY | SEWING IS PSYCHICS | PATTERNING IS ENGINEERING Images of school shootings are filled with helmeted men in uniforms crouched in halls and clutching weapons ready to mount an assault to protect children but a woman entrepreneur in Kansas City is taking a proactive approach to protecting children. Laura Treas, Owner/Founder, Fashion Tech Kansas City, is the lead designer for Titanium Flex Gear which is a bullet-resistant clothing company. Her expertise in creating, fitting and manufacturing clothing is at the heart of a new product that children can wear every day in any situation. “This is the first covert undershirt protection for children on the market,” said Treas. “It can be worn under any clothing and the snug fit tank-style undergarment, which holds the panels, allows the child to feel protected emotionally as well as physically.” “Can I keep this?” When children have tried it on they want to keep it on. The parents respond with “But, you haven't had any shootings at your school” and they reply “But, I know they happen and this makes me feel safe”. As an undergarment expert with her own line, Laura was the perfect fit for Titanium Flex Gear.16 years of experience fitting clients for undergarments that change their lives has made this a match made in Heaven. Laura's expertise in fabrics and clothing design will make a difference in comfort and wearability of this protection product. 2 months ago she did not know how her life was going to change. As someone who has had 7 clients get approved to pitch for Shark Tank, as startups, she's no newby to inventions but this was something she would actually become a part of. When she got the call from a far away island to discuss possible manufacturing she quickly said “Tell me more”. “If we can save one child it will have been worth it” is what Monty Clark believes. He had this idea for protection for children, went overseas to source this panel and had been manufacturing with a mom and pop shop but needed to find a new manufacturer. Neither he nor Laura knew until they met in person that the stars would align. “Everyone thinks it's easy to launch a product and they don't know how hard it really is. How many steps it takes. How hard it is to find all the information. The amount of micro decisions. But, when I met Monty in person and saw his safety panels and then showed him my undergarments and that we could marry them into this comfortable, wearable protection product that could save lives, I was ecstatic because this is so easy to wear. This can lower children's anxiety”. As a designer that makes garments for her local Children's Hospital this is a product Laura Treas can get behind. www.fashiontechkansascity.com

VISIONS IN TANDEM, is a collaborative Retrospective Exhibition of Dobree Adam's fiber art intertwined with Jonathan Greene's  poems. Lexington Art League, August 2 to September 20, 2024 This collaborative retrospective exhibition of works in fiber and photographs intertwined with poetry considers dialogues of vision and voice in the spirit of haiga, the Japanese tradition of painting with haiku. The art of haiga is about the synergy of collaboration, the richness and depth of an added layer of meaning each work brings to the other. This exhibition centers on brief encounters and in-depth responses to living on their Kentucky River farm as well as to their travels. These encounters have brought reactions to landscape, sense of place, colors and rhythms, ambience, architecture, culture, and design aesthetics as well as inspirations for new bodies of work. In the spirit of haiga, consider how the poems, fiber art, and photographs are related, and how seemingly unrelated works influence or redefine one another.Dobree and Jonathan have developed a deep artistic collaborative relationship over their 50 years together. Dobree has become not only Jonathan's personal editor but also a major contributor in the publishing of many Gnomon Press books and books Jonathan has designed and/or produced for others. They have had collaborative shows at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum in Missouri, the Headley-Whitney Museum, and the Evansville Museum of Art.For more and to connect with us, visit https://www.artsconnectlex.org/art-throb-podcast.html

Toland Sand: Vibration of the Mysteries When a friend gave Toland Sand a stained glass studio in 1977, he embarked upon a journey that would lead him to explore the myriad qualities that define glass as a medium. Sand’s 45 years as a sculptor has resulted in works of stained glass, blown glass, and every combination in between. A pioneer in utilizing the unique properties of dichroic glass, Sand begins his current sculpture with optical crystal and dichroic coated glass, hand worked by grinding in ever finer stages until a polish is achieved. Seeking balance, harmony, and symmetry, with an accent on deconstructed form, his work inhabits the symbolic, the cosmic, and the mystery. Inspired by his peers as well as artists such as Isamu Noguchi, David Smith, Henry Moore, and Mark Rothko, Sand says: “I love that images can come and go, are made bold, and then disappear; are reflective and then not. The energetic and mystical side comes from the teachings of my spiritual Master, Sant Kirpal Singh, by whose instructions I meditate every day in my personal effort to connect to and be receptive to the vibration of the mysteries.”  Two years in Taiwan as a child and five years in Athens, Greece, as a teenager, motivated Sand’s investigations of “otherness.” Influenced by Eastern ideograms, Greek letters and Arabic writing, the sculptor creates symbols that have meaning in their elegance as graphics and maintain the sense that language and lettering can lead one into other consciousnesses and cultures.  Each piece takes more or less six weeks to complete, starting with a drawing in the traditional three views on large white paper ripped from a roll, pencil, ruler, and compass. He says: “It’s exciting for me to see how the finished piece measures up to my concept, that begins with inspiration and an idea, and ends up as a complex construction made more complex by reflection, refraction, and the dance of light and color in a three- dimensional setting.”  Sand’s sculpture has been collected by individuals and institutions nationwide including Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass, Neenah, Wisconsin; Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, St. Joseph. Missouri; Chattanooga Museum of Art, Chattanooga, Tennessee; University of Michigan Art Museum, Ann Arbor; and The Imagine Museum, St. Petersburg, Florida. His work can also be found in the corporate collections of IBM, Coca Cola, UPS and MacDonald’s, to name a few. Exhibitions include SOFA Chicago, New York and Santa Fe as well as 25 solo shows, most recently in 2015 at Bender Gallery, Asheville, North Carolina, and in 2016 at Raven Gallery, Aspen, Colorado.  In July of 2016, Sand moved his studio from rural New Hampshire to Carmel Valley, California. “The sculptures are a reflection of my inner space and what grabs my attention. I could be doing them anywhere. Actually, I don’t question exactly where they come from. It’s the mystery.”  

The Hereditary Estate by Daniel W. Coburn, is published by Kehrer Verlag (2015), with an essay by Karen Irvine, Curator and Associate Director at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, and Kristen Pai Buck, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of New Mexico, 112 pages. The Hereditary Estate is the first major monograph by photographer Daniel W. Coburn. It functions as a ten-year retrospective and as a conceptual work of art. Coburn’s work and research investigates the family photo album employed as the visual infrastructure for the flawed ideology of the American Dream. Frustrated by the lack of images that document the true and sometimes troubling nature of his own familial history, the photographer set out to create a new archive, a potent supplement to the broken family album that exists in the collection of many families. Using photographs made over the last decade, and altered amateur photographs, he weaves a family narrative that is simultaneously beautiful and terrifying. The careful sequencing of these images creates a powerful psychological dialogue designed to inspire an emotional and visceral response from the viewer. The international distribution of this book completes an essential conceptual component of this work, placing this supplementary album into family collections in countries all over the world. Daniel’s work and research investigates the family photo album as a form and narrative function. Selections from his body of work have been featured in exhibitions at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art and the Chelsea Museum of Art in New York. His prints are held in collections at the Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago), the University of New Mexico Art Museum, the Mulvane Art Museum, the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, and the Mariana Kistler-Beach Museum of Art. Daniel’s work has been published widely, most recently appearing in the International New York Times. Daniel currently lives in Lawrence, Kansas and is an Assistant Professor of Photo Media at the University of Kansas.
