Gallery News: Franklin Evans Artist Talk & Reception
Franklin Evans: juddrules
Artist Talk: Friday, September 12, 7:30pm
Location: 248 Cabot Street Room 208
Montserrat Galleries is proud to present juddrules featuring New York-based artist Franklin Evans. While Evans considers himself first and foremost a painter his works are process-based physical environments, surrounded by the very source materials that conceptually inform his paintings. “It’s like walking into a painting,” describes Evans, anticipating how Montserrat Gallery will evolve into a ‘landscape’ of ephemeral and factual materials over the course of his three week residency. One way that Evans communicates sources of influence and inspiration is through the titles of his work. For the exhibition at Montserrat, Evans will work with the writings of Minimalist artist, Donald Judd, specifically those that were highlighted or underlined during Evans’ original reading of the text. Creating self-imposed guidelines or “rules” for which excepts to incorporate into the installation results in the title, juddrules.
*Franklin Evans will be in residence installing juddrules in the Montserrat Gallery through September 16, 2014. Open studio hours are Mondays-Thursdays 11:10 am – 12:30pm or contact Assistant Curator of Exhibitions, Pam Campanaro: pamela.campanaro@montserrat.
