SUMMARY:Mike Grimaldi and Brett Mason : As Above\, So Below
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nThe exhibition will be iterated four times throughout the duration.\nAs Above\, So Below is a visual conversation between Mike Grimaldi ’05 and Brett Mason ’12. \nDespite the two artists graduating from Montserrat College of Art and both having years of experience in the fine arts field\, each artist’s style is entirely unique unto themselves. Grimaldi and Mason come from two different galaxies in regards to their visual aesthetic and artistic approach. \nThis exhibition is a microcosm to the macrocosm of individuals finding common ground and understanding. The artists needed to negotiate\, collaborate\, and ultimately compromise on the work as a whole. What is presented on the wall is a synthesis of two minds creating a work of art that could not have existed without collective organization. \nAs further exploration of the concept\, the artists will return separately to iterate the piece over the course of the semester. This act of call and response is emblematic of the conversations necessary to reach understanding. \n\n  \nMike Grimaldi ’05 is known as Grimdrops in the art world. He lives on the north shore of Boston in historic Salem\, Ma. After art school\, he started designing logos\, painting live at events\, painting on canvas for private collectors and painting murals on parking lots\, tiny houses and even at city hall. Whether it’s at a restaurant\, a creative studio\, on canvas\, a separation wall in the backyard\, a tunnel leading out to a football field or on the facade of a tiny house\, Grimdrops wants his work to stop people in their tracks. He wants them to take a closer look – often for a selfie. At live events\, He creates custom art that can be tailored to the specific occasion\, whether it be the subject matter of the piece\, the color palette or even incorporating a logo. One time\, he designed and painted a mural in 48 hours and he wants to do that in less than a day. Grimdrops ultimate goal is to create a mural or live painting in every state and on every continent. \nBrett Mason ’12 is a painter and muralist based in the North Shore of Massachusetts and has exhibited throughout New England. Much of his current acrylic paintings reflect the concepts of sacred geometry and organic elements in nature\, often combining the ideas to create mystical landscapes. Through his meditative practice that reflects upon the theme of geometry\, Mason contemplates the balance and symmetry within nature that inspires a deep connection to the world around us. His work imbues a call to preserve the environment and the balance of human and natural order. By finding balance within ourselves\, we can bring forward positive action towards a healthy and stable future. Mason hopes to transcend these ideas into reality through his work by allowing people to contemplate his vision of a balanced world. \n  \n \n  \n \nMike Grimaldi & Brett Mason\, Collaborative Painting

SUMMARY:Emily Lombardo: The Caprichos
DESCRIPTION:248 Gallery\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat Community or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nhttps://youtu.be/5Uupau7rEoU \n2013-2016\nEtching and aquatint\, 9 x 6 inches \nThe Caprichos\, by Emily Lombardo\, is a series of 80 etchings which are in direct conversation and homage to Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos\, 1799. Both reveal the dark underbelly of cultural movements which ultimately serve to divide society across economic\, racial\, political\, religious\, and gender lines. \nGoya’s series explores the artist’s dissatisfaction and disgust with humanity’s follies during the Enlightenment\, a period in which much of the Western world embraced reason and scientific discovery\, yet the artist’s native Spain experienced devastating wars\, economic humiliation\, and religious fanaticism. Though inspired by his own society\, Goya’s prints expose humanity’s universal failings. They reveal the dangerous tendency of all cultural movements to give way to fascism and inequity. \nLombardo continues this investigation within the modern\, globalized world\, bringing these same issues into contemporary light through a queer feminist lens. Using Goya’s work as a point of departure\, Lombardo showcases recognizable figures and events – including Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump\, Miley Cyrus’s act at the 2013 MTV VMAs\, and Damien Hirst’s diamond skulls – to critique everything from international politics and the art market to gender roles and societal expectations. The use of recognizable politicians\, celebrities\, events and institutions make The Caprichos instantly accessible to present-day viewers. \nEdition of 12. Numbered\, signed\, and dated in pencil.\nPublished by Childs Gallery and printed at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Norwalk\, CT) by printer Opal Ecker DeRuvo. \n  \nGenerously on loan from Childs Gallery. \nEmily Lombardo\, Frontispiece: Study for The Sleep (State I)\, from The Caprichos\, 2013\nEtching and aquatint

SUMMARY:SONDER
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat Community \nsonder is an opportunity for viewers to slow down and recontextualize their own experience walking through Bare Gallery. In the past\, Bare Gallery has been a space for presenting and displaying visual art. This exhibition works to establish a stronger connection between the participant and the environment\, ultimately allowing for an unknown and unique experience. \nA lightbulb and a clock imitate the sun and the moon. As the participant finds themselves between these two objects\, they embody Earth and life. The participant rotates to see the moon keeping time\, and the sun emitting light. Unlike outer space\, this ‘inner space’ allows for an autonomous halt\, creating a new pattern of physics. \nEach participant is instructed to leave a mark on a notecard\, white it out\, and apply it to the wall with a tack. The act of marking the notecard allows for a transfer of energy and communication. The white out prevents a misinterpreted perception of the communication being left behind by x participant. Then\, the participant punctures the wall with a tack\, archiving evidence of energy\, orbit\, and trace. \nParticipants can remotely recreate this experience. By placing themselves between variations of lights and clocks\, and pencils and paper\, they welcome the awareness of life in themselves and their surroundings. \nIf you choose to recreate your sonder experience remotely\, please share photos or videos with us via @bare.gallery on Instagram or baregallery@montserrat.edu. \nCurated by Saya Norton ’22 and Lexi Palmberg ’21 \n

SUMMARY:BADASS - New England Biolabs
DESCRIPTION:New England BioLabs\nIpswich\, MA 01938 \n2nd Floor\, Hardie Building\nMontserrat College of Art\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nBy Appointment \nDates\nJanuary 10–February 7\, 2021\, New England Biolabs \nFebruary 17–March 9\, 2021\, Montserrat College of Art \nAn exhibition from work completed in the course Painting as Object\, at Montserrat College of Art during the fall semester of 2020 \nThis group of art students enrolled in a course that looks at the question\, “What is an image and what is an object?” In addition\, they explored what can painting be in our contemporary world. How far can it be stretched until it becomes something else? What is the relationship to the wall\, the ceiling\, the floor\, a corner or a threshold? \nIn order to better understand what these questions might mean\, we looked at contemporary artists whose work explores this 2/D -3/D area\, hosted two visiting artists\, conducted research\, designed presentations\, supported one another in the studio work\, and engaged in critique and discussion. \nThese art students are from different concentrations\, including Painting\, Animation\, Graphic Design\, Illustration and Interdisciplinary Arts. They each have different points of view yet were able to provide valuable feedback on one another’s visual explorations. They embraced risk-taking and were consistent in showing up. For that and more\, I am very proud of them. Badass! \nDiane Ayott\, Artist and Professor \nArtists:\nAbigail Coffman\nErein James Adiao Ruiz\nEileen Coughlin\nCole Hatch\nMorghan Schnoll\nLily Walsh\nJack Debusk \n— \nErein James Adiao Ruiz \nErein James Adiao Ruiz is an interdisciplinary artist who finds himself very interested in the exploration of found materials alongside the realization of spatial relationships. Whether those interests include understanding the connections made from wall to wall\, floor to ceiling\, or pushing the limitations of a material; that awareness stays constant and is encouraged throughout his process despite his humorous executions. His themes range from the abstraction of hyperactivity within the individual psyche\, to the subconscious nature of interactivity towards physical art. Erein currently lives in River Edge\, New Jersey and attends Montserrat College of Art as a first semester junior\, concentrating in the Interdisciplinary Arts. \nLily Walsh \nLily Walsh is a multimedia artist\, with an immense interest in the different textures that separate mediums have to offer. Whether the medium is physical or digital\, she often finds herself inside the work\, and is not afraid to get messy when it comes to getting to the root of her ideas. Currently she is focused on questioning the idea of what a painting can be\, as well as what its relationship to the world is. She is also focused on the concept of expressing texture and physicality through different mediums. Currently she has acquired an interest in insulation foam as a material and tool towards achieving these ideas. Lily currently lives in Northern Massachusetts\, and attends Montserrat College of Art as an Animation major. \nMorghan Elena Schnoll \nMorghan Schnoll found this exploratory course to be eye opening. Incorporating mixed media into her painting allowed her to engage with the process of making art in a new way. She loved the visiting artists\, who underscored this new studio experience of using a variety of approaches. And although she felt unsettled with the assignment requiring eliminating ideas\, she pushed forward in her work. Morghan is from New Jersey and this is her second year at Montserrat College of Art with a concentration in painting. \nAbigail Coffman \nAbigail Coffman is a ceramicist and painter. Through her first semester as a transfer junior at Montserrat College of Art\, Abigail has found joy in creating work for the sake of exploration and experimentation. The work she has produced in this course has given her new meaning to how painting and sculpture intertwine\, and the definition of a painting. Abigail is from Baltimore\, Maryland\, and studies Interdisciplinary Arts. \nCole Hatch \nCole Hatch is a Writer\, Illustrator\, and newbie to the world of Object creation. Having broken the illustrative mold\, Cole spent his Final semester at Montserrat College of Art discovering new and fantastic ways to create\, and putting his all into the act of ‘Just Creating’ Inspired by advice from the great Susan Scott\, Cole approaches each of his constructive pieces by just making\, just doing\, just going for it. Cole is from Orland\, Maine\, and has finished his BFA for Illustration and Creative Writing. \nJack DeBusk \nJack DeBusk is a Painter who is currently in his senior year at Montserrat College of Art. Jack enjoys working both on his non-objective and figurative painting. And he has also spent the last two years creating works that reside within a liminal space between image and object through the means of stuffed forms. He has experimented with sculptural paintings that hang against the wall\, mimicking the human presence\, akin to body bags. These quickly evolved into stuffed paintings which incorporate flat graphics that protrude from the wall with the incorporation of the tonality of Lorum Ipsum Cryllic text. Throughout all of these various expressions\, Jack is keenly in tune with formal elements that underscore the process of making. \n
