SUMMARY:MOSH Studio: There is No Away
DESCRIPTION:MOSH Studio is a collaboration between artists Suzanne Moseley and Adrienne Shishko\, each bringing a very different art background to their joint projects. Together they create 3D sculptures using repurposed materials from individual\, corporate\, or collective waste streams\, often fiber-based\, to create metaphorical portraits of people\, places\, or communities. Their goal is to produce vibrant\, energetic works that captivate audiences with color and texture\, encouraging a discovery of both the materials and their transformation into something new. \nAdrienne Shishko is a process-driven\, mixed media artist based in Boston. She is known for her innovative ways of engaging communities in art beyond traditional gallery spaces through pop ups\, digital murals\, and building wraps. In 2017\, she was commissioned by JBG Smith to enliven a business district in Crystal City\, MD which helped encourage new development in the area. Her work has also been exhibited throughout New England at venues including Beacon Gallery\, The Quin House\, The Providence Art Club\, Mosesian Center for the Arts\, Cambridge Art Association among others\, and is included in numerous private and corporate collections around the country. \nSuzanne Moseley’s creative career has spanned advertising\, fashion\, craft\, graphics\, web and restaurant design. This background has led Mosely to explore bold\, graphic imagery with a penchant for textile patterns and richly layered compositions. Moseley has exhibited her work in juried group shows around New England including the Cultural Center of Cape Cod\, Rhode Island Water Color Society\, Castle Hill @ Truro Center for the Arts\, Gallery Twist and Art Fluent’s online gallery. She studied printmaking at the Decordova Museum School\, Maud Morgan\, MFA\, Castle Hill\, Zea Mayes\, and Shepherd Maudsleigh. Moseley is also a member of Boston Printmakers\, USEA and Concord Art.

SUMMARY:Wilber Blair: A Peek Inside the Coloring Book
DESCRIPTION:Reception Wednesday\, February 26\, 4–6pm.\nPublic is welcome. \nBlair’s saturated and atmospheric paintings reflect constant change\, transformation\, and metamorphoses of nature and imagined two-dimensional worlds. Through spatial illusion and surface\, representation and abstraction\, and the material and the immaterial\, Blair’s paintings are an accumulation of formal decisions used to express the complexity and mystery of sight\, memory\, and dreams. \nWilber Blair was a member of Montserrat’s adjunct painting faculty from 2003 to 2023. He taught classes in painting and drawing as well as Foundation courses such as Life Drawing\, Painting I\, and Painting Workshop.

SUMMARY:Jay Critchley: Democracy of the Land\, Inc.\, FLAGrancy
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on his research and work about American symbolism\, mythology\, history\, settler occupation\, Native Nations\, and ecological concerns\, Jay Critchley: Democracy of the Land\, Inc.\, FLAGrancy confronts our torrid and complicated history of what it means to be an American and how control of and access to the Land defines our personal and cultural identities. The project moves beyond “farm to table” to “Land to Land” — challenging the corporate supply chain to return to the Land\, uncontaminated\, from what’s taken. \nThe installation will highlight Critchley’s ongoing series of modified and fabricated American flags\, recent editions fashioned with embroidered and appliqued corporate logos of the Standard Oil Company (1882–1911). \nA central component of the exhibition is Critchley’s iZONE\, a refurbished portable restroom that will serve as a space for reflection and action. Each Wednesday\, from January 29 to February 26\, the gallery will host “iZONE Days”\, a series of activities for students and the public to engage with the exhibition’s layered themes. \n  \nFeatured Image: \n“Jay Critchley\, The Toxicity of Capitalism—Miss Tampon Liberty\, a gown made of 3\,000 plastic tampon applicators washed up on beaches.
