SUMMARY:Works from the Montserrat Archives
DESCRIPTION:Samuel Bak\, Gelin Buteau\, Fay Chandler\, Dr. Leslie King Hammond\, and Norman Laliberte\nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \n \n \nThe Montserrat Teaching Collection is a vast archive of work by former faculty\, alumni\, and artworks acquired through friends and donors of Montserrat.  The collection provides opportunities for current students to gain first-hand knowledge of the varied materials\, methods\, and thematic ideas used by a wide range of artists.  The summer exhibition in the President’s Gallery presents a selection from the collection\, from newly acquired to older works. \nOn view in the President’s office are recent acquisitions by Samuel Bak and works on temporary loan by Dr. Leslie King Hammond. Dr. King Hammond and Samuel Bak\, who served as Montserrat’s 2021 Convocation Speaker and the 2022 Commencement Speaker respectively\, use their art to explore their biographies and cultural identities.  Dr. King Hammond draws upon her Caribbean ancestry\, the African American experience\, and different craft traditions to explore the anonymity of women’s labor and the intersection of African Diasporic spiritual beliefs. Samuel Bak\, a Holocaust survivor\, explores his memory of the Holocaust and its devastating aftermath to preserve Jewish life and culture in the wake of unfathomable atrocity. Both artists were presented with exhibitions in the Montserrat Galleries during the 2021-2022 academic year. \nIn the main office are a selection of works by Gelin Buteau\, Fay Chandler\, and Norman Laliberte. The Haitian born Buteau (1954-2000) creates imaginative paintings that explore aspects of Haitian life and culture. The paintings of two mermaid figures represent Mami Wata\, a water spirit originating from West Africa and whose image is commonly found in African Diasporic and Caribbean literature and art. Mami Wata is described as a strong-willed\, sensual siren and often depicted as half-human and half fish. In another untitled work\, Buteau portrays a protest or uprising against the government\, a commentary on the country’s political instability and corruption. Also on view are three small sculptures by the Boston artist and philanthropist\, Fay Chandler (1923-2015)\, illustrative of the artist’s whimsical use of everyday materials and found objects and her focus on feminist themes related to women and childhood. Complimenting the informal style of Buteau and Chandler\, is a small tapestry by the North Shore-based artist Norman Laliberte (1925-2021) from his 2019 retrospective exhibition in Montserrat Gallery. Laliberte created colorful and celebratory paintings and fabric tapestries\, often resembling ancient hieroglyphics\, which speak to a range of narratives\, from the personal to the fantastical. \nImages: \nSamuel Bak (top)\, Once a Home\, 1990\, mixed media on paper\, 12 x 16 in.\, (bottom) Emerging\, 2003\, watercolor\, 7.5 x 7.5 in.

SUMMARY:Andy Li - What About Tomorrow?
DESCRIPTION:Montserrat Galleries presents the solo exhibition What About Tomorrow? A Show About Today by the Boston based artist Andy Li.  Li’s text based fabric banners and panels focus on the power of now. His work is a reflection of both the mundane and the unnoticed moments of greatness that we perceive and experience in day to day life. \nAndy Li earned a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in Media and Performance Art with a focus in Film/Video and 3D Sculpture with a focus in Fibers and Soft Sculpture. These two mediums have provided Li with an understanding of the value of time and patience. Some days you will see him hunched over a single thread for hours on end\, and other days you will see him running back and forth with three different cameras trying to find the best light. A believer in the suggestive nature of positivity\, Li encourages those around him to keep failing in order to keep getting better. Always trying to adapt and evolve\, his work and his personal attitude is the visual exploration of the saying\, “You can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.” \n

SUMMARY:Complete Fabrication: E. Winslow Funaki and Holly Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nComplete Fabrication features new work by Montserrat staff\, Winslow Funaki and Holly Kelly.  Artists\, makers\, and educators\, Funaki and Kelly create work that explores humor\, play\, and perception. In their interdisciplinary practices\, both Funaki and Kelly–who serve as the Digital Fabrication Studio Manager and the Studio Manager of the Sculpture Shops respectively–use materials as the conceptual foundation of their work. Funaki creates in-between objects that resist categorization as a reflection of her own mixed identity\, often intermixing found objects and fabrication technologies. Kelly explores ordinary and mundane objects and space\, transforming documents and presenting everyday things from a different or altered perspective. Complete Fabrication is a wordplay\, implying both visual trickery and invention as well as the physical process of making. \nE. Winslow Funaki holds a BFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design\, attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2016\, and completed her MFA in Furniture Design at RISD in 2020. Her work has been exhibited in venues including Special Special in New York\, the RISD Museum and Brown University in Providence\, RI\, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan\, WI. \nHolly Kelly earned her M.F.A. from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in 2019 and her B.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art in 2013. Kelly has worked multiple creative jobs\, including bronze foundry\, artist studio assistant\, artist office assistant\, studio manager\, fabricator\, and art installer. All of it has influenced her studio practice and research. Kelly has shown work across the United States and received recognition from the International Sculpture Center and Mid-South Sculpture Alliance. \nTop Image (left) E.

SUMMARY:Lynne Harlow: Loomings
DESCRIPTION:In her installation and interdisciplinary practice\, the Providence\, Rhode Island artist\, Lynne Harlow\, transforms traditional and nontraditional spaces using modest materials and processes. Taking inspiration from the Minimalists and the Light and Space artists of the 1960 and 1970s\, Harlow uses industrially made materials\, such as tinted Plexiglass\, vinyl\, and house paint\, to create immersive and multi-sensory experiences for the viewer that are vibrant\, sometimes provocatively garish\, and also at times soft\, subtle\, and barely there. In her installation for the 301 Frame Gallery\, Harlow uses broad swaths of color and playful curtains of bright pink vinyl that dynamically and playfully interact within the narrow confines of the space. Harlow’s less is more approach is not just an homage to minimalist art traditions or created for simple visual effect. Rather\, her installations explore the dynamic physicality and the phenomenological possibilities of light and color.  Harlow states\, “I arrive at my pieces by reducing physical and visual information.  This process of reduction\, a steady taking away\, is ultimately intended to be an act of generosity.  In each piece I’m looking for the point at which these reductions allow me to give the most.” \nAbout Lynne Harlow \nLynne Harlow has exhibited her work internationally for the past 20 years. Gallery exhibitions include several solo shows at MINUS SPACE\, Brooklyn\, NY\, and Liliana Bloch Gallery\, Dallas\, TX. Museum exhibitions include the Hofstra Museum of Art in 2020 and the deCordova Biennial at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in 2013\, as well as shows at MoMA PS1\, Brattleboro Museum\, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art\, and Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca. Harlow has received awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, Chinati Foundation\, Rhode Island Foundation\, and BAU Institute\, and her work has been reviewed in publications\, such as Artforum\, The New York Times\, The Boston Globe\, The Providence Journal\, and Artnet Magazine\, among others. Harlow’s work is included in public collections\, such as The Museum of Modern Art\, Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York Public Library\, and Hunter College (all New York\, NY); RISD Museum (Providence\, RI); and The Philips Collection (Washington\, DC). Harlow holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BA from Framingham State College. \nLynne Harlow: Loomings is presented in collaboration with bkprojects \nbkprojects\, LLC\nwww.bkartprojects.com\nwww.drive-byprojects.com \n  \n

SUMMARY:Julie Peppito: Love is the Key
DESCRIPTION:Reception:  Tuesday\, September 6\, 5-7pm \n\nJulie Peppito: Love is the Key presents a series of recent and new artworks that interrogates the political and environmental impacts of our consumer-based culture. An activist and artist\, Peppito uses her artmaking to draw connections between our dependence upon cheaply made and disposable goods and its destructive effects on the planet and on human health. Peppito conveys this urgent message through the creation of subversively exquisite\, highly embellished mixed media drawings and paintings that are often heavily layered with the cast-off detritus of mass-production\, such as fabric\, buttons\, beads\, plastic toys\, and other single-use plastics.  In many of her compositions\, Peppito juxtaposes dense areas of color and found objects with delicate and detailed drawing—from the monumental mixed media work Wake Up! to smaller works on paper\, such as We are in Danger and Love is the Key. But as the title of her exhibition suggests\, Peppito’s message is not simply defeatist or alarmist. She believes that awareness\, action\, and compassion can positively change the course of our planet\, create a more equitable society\, and sustain a healthy environment. In other words\, love is indeed the key. \nIn addition to over 15 mixed media artworks\, the exhibition also includes Peppito’s collaborative and fantastical drawings with her husband\, the illustrator and graphic novelist\, Gideon Kendall. \n  \nAbout Julie Peppito \nJulie Peppito combines multiple materials in her sculptures\, installations\, collages\, and playground art. She has been an exhibiting artist in New York City for 31 years and has had nine solo exhibitions. Her work has been exhibited at The Long Island Children’s Museum\, Kentler International Drawing Space\, Art in General\, PS122\, HEREart\, Momenta\, NURTUREart\, Ethan Cohen Gallery\, and many other venues. She has received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture and has made art for three New York Park’s Department playgrounds. \nShe holds an MFA with a concentration in sculpture from Alfred University in Alfred\, NY and she received her BFA from The Cooper Union in New York City.  You can see her playground art at J.J. Byrne Playground and James Forten Playground\, both in Brooklyn. Her work has been in The New York Times and The Daily Beast. Currently\, she has a giant “bird condo” on display at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. She was born and raised in Tulsa\, Oklahoma. She lives\, creates and teaches art in Kensington\, Brooklyn with her partner (artist\, illustrator\, graphic novelist) Gideon Kendall and their son Milo. \n  \nImage: Wake Up!\, 2018\, canvas\, trim\, thread\, acrylic paint\, wood\, found objects\, dimensional fabric paint\, and fabric. \n  \n
