Johnny Adimando at 17 Cox

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Johnny Adimando, Untitled (Moon Texture), 2011, silkscreen on paper, 6 x 8 inches

This January, Montserrat’s new printmaking faculty member and artist Johnny Adimando will attempt and fail at the impossible: to reach the moon through conventional methods of paper folding and printmaking. At its apogee the Moon is about 406700 km from the Earth, while a single sheet of paper is about 0.01 cm high. It would take approximately 1,520,640,000 stacked pieces of paper to reach the Moon or a single sheet of paper folded on itself 42 times could reach the Moon’s surface.

Please join Johnny for a reception for his 16 ft printstallation in the newly renovated 17 Cox Gallery! RSVP on the Facebook Event Page!

Erin Dionne featured in The Boston Globe West

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Assoc. Prof. Erin Dionne was featured in The Boston Globe West for her most recent novel Notes from an Accidental Band Geek!

Erin Dionne, Framingham (preteen novelist)
Notes from an Accidental Band Geek

What led up to this book: ‘‘I participated in marching band in high school and at Boston College. Being part of a school marching band is a bizarre experience that a lot of people don’t know about. After my first two books sold, my former editor said she would love it if someone wrote a novel set amidst a school marching band. While this book includes a lot of the experiences I had as part of a band, including marching in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, which we did while I was at BC, it’s not a story about me. I played piccolo and flute; my main character plays brass. She’s standoffish and prickly and snobbish; I am not.’’

What’s in store for 2012: Dionne’s first project is to deliver her second child, due this month. After that, she’ll be completing her next age-group novel, scheduled for publication in 2013.
