SUMMARY:Midnight Snack: An Installation by Real Fake Animals
DESCRIPTION:Midnight Snack is a surrealist\, soft-sculpture installation created by the artist collective Real Fake Animals (RFA)\, an interstate collaborative group of artists spanning the east coast. Fueled by the yearning of artists wanting to create\, emotion is evoked in the installation through the expressive nature of puppetry and props. \nOn one side of the 301 Frame Gallery is an installation of  over two hundred puppet heads – compressed together in the form of a fleece blanket and created in a range of skin tones– stare out in a silent scream.  Through a tessellated pattern\, the blanket realizes the repetitious physical nature of craft in real space. In the adjacent window space\, an installation of an overflowing refrigerator brimming with an abundance of food and props spilled haphazardly. Among them\, a figure peeks out furtively\, as though caught red-handed sneaking a late-night snack. The viewers\, made an unwilling participant\, take the figure aback — revealing the scene’s sense of inner conflict\, hinting at hidden desires and untapped creative urges. \nReal Fake Animals\, a cutting-edge collective of multimedia artists\, possesses an eclectic range of skills and boundless creative abilities. Their shared desire to experiment thrives within a nurturing community space\, fostering a culture of inspiration and camaraderie that fuels the creative spirit among peers. Real Fake Animals include: \nColman Berube \nChloe Carleton \nHannah Daigle \nMax Foster \nKili Gallagher \nCoco Haseltine \nWill Higgins \nAngie Iacurci \nKal Klaza \nKiran Marwaha \nSam Rose \nQuill Rose \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wells Chandler: Psychedelic Soccer Dada
DESCRIPTION:Opening in the newly renovated Montserrat Gallery is the first regional solo exhibition by the Bronx-based artist\, Wells Chandler. Chandler uses vernacular and so-called “craft” materials\, such as patchwork\, crochet\, clay\, cake\, and other media to build queer communities alongside and with others. Highlighting Chandler’s extensive drawing practice\, Psychedelic Soccer Dada is an immersive experience featuring the artist’s iconic crocheted drawings of whimsical yarn figures and objects\, patchwork bean bag chairs\, drawings made in collaboration with the artist’s friends and students\, as well as selections from Chandler’s extensive collection of drawings made by neurodiverse artists. In the exhibition\, Chandler engages with histories of art that celebrate\, rather than exclude\, diversity and queerness as its dominant language. \nWells Chandler is a Bronx based artist who explores ecology\, community\, gender and queer iconography through the mediums of crochet\, embroidery\, drawing and cake. He received his MFA from Yale University in 2011 where he was awarded the Ralph Mayer Prize for proficiency in materials and techniques. From 2016-17 he was a recipient of the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program. Recent solo exhibitions include Galerie Eric Mouchet (Brussels\, Belgium)\, Andrew Rafacz (Chicago\, IL)\, Diablo Rosso (Panama City\, Panama)\, and Galerie Eric Mouchet (Paris\, France). Recent group exhibitions include International Objects (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Goldfinch Gallery (Chicago\, IL)\, and Helena Anrather (New York\, NY).  His work has been reviewed by Roxane Gay\, Art Forum\, The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, Hyperallergic\, The Huffington Post\, TimeOut\, Modern Painters\, and Two Coats of Paint. Chandler is a Soloway gallery member.  He is a Visiting Assistant Professor at SUNY Purchase where he has taught for four years.  In the Spring of 2023\, Chandler was appointed the Teiger Mentor in the Arts at Cornell. \nRelated Events \nUnless noted\, all events are free and open to the public. \nArtist Talk: Monday\, September 25th\, 11am-12pm\, H101 \nArtist Reception: Monday\, September 25th\, 5-7pm\, Montserrat Gallery \n*Puff the Magic Dragon Puff Paint Workshop with Wells Chandler Monday\, October 2nd\, 11am-12pm\, Montserrat Gallery \n*Sweet Lines Cake Decorating Workshop\, Friday\, October 20\, 3-5pm\, Montserrat Gallery \nPunch Needle Workshop with textile artist\, Haley Wood\, Friday\, November 3rd\, 3-5pm\, Montserrat Gallery \nDrop Dead Fred Online Drawing Workshop with Wells Chandler\, Monday\, November 13th\, Siesta (Zoom link to follow) \n*Montserrat Students Only. \n  \nThe exhibition is funded\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel  & Tourism.
