S/ART/Q, Sarasota’s answer to contemporary visual art, announces new exhibition, PROCESS, opening Friday, March 26 at G.WIZ – The Science Museum, in Sarasota, FL

[Sarasota, FL – February 11, 2010] S/ART/Q will close out season in Sarasota this year with a stellar new exhibition at G.WIZ – The Science Museum (1001 Boulevard of the Arts), opening Friday, March 26. While their last show at a former furniture store on State St. displayed the artists’ finished products in a white-cube gallery setting, their new exhibition, simply titled PROCESS, is a sneak-peak inside the artist’s world, from inspiration to completion. With glimpses into the studio through video, samples of materials and actual vignettes from the artists’ workspaces, S/ART/Q strives to demystify Art as well as the techniques used to make it. The finished artworks will be exhibited alongside these process pieces, bringing the experience of the viewer full-circle. The show will be open through Sunday, April 25 and during this month S/ART/Q will host student tours, panel discussions and demonstrations.

PROCESS: Opening Reception 5-11 p.m., Fri., March 26 and exhibit ongoing through Sun., April 25,

One of the more charming aspects of producing creatively in the year 2009, and on the cusp of 2010, is the undeniable feeling that one can make whatever they like, however they like. This feeling is in specific regard to the ability of creatives to ‘cross-over’ into other creative fields (or other productions, altogether), and meddle with their means. And who can blame them, when their passion is directed by a sense of enthrallment and admiration for the spirit of making, the passion can and will take whatever form the admirable has.

A multidisciplinary artist whom manages to not only produce in multiple creative fields, but garner attention within each, is Hisham Bharoocha.

Bharoocha is an artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. He concentrates on creating music, visual art, and photography. His newest works deal with the melting together of images that happens in the mind when one is meditating, dreaming, day dreaming, or going about their daily lives.

The charming aspect of Bharoocha’s work is piecing all of his different projects together and realizing his personal stylistic undertones run through each. His musical project is known as Soft Circle,and you can listen to one of his tracks below:

See a compiled portfolio of all his work at his website.
