SUMMARY:The Self Imagined
DESCRIPTION:Curator/Artists Talk + Reception: Friday\, September 19\, 5-8 PM \nComposed entirely of Gen-Z artists\, this exhibition pushes the boundaries of self-expression and portraiture as shaped by the internet and new technologies. Growing up with unrestricted access to the internet\, the online world is just as influential to Gen-Z as is the AFK (Away from keyboard) world. The Self Imagined believes it’s time to confront this reality. \nWhile the selected works build upon developments in the contemporary art world\, they also serve to inhabit their niches online. Using painting\, sculpture\, and video\, these young artists illustrate Gen-Z’s ability to navigate inside and outside cyberspace. Themes explored in this exhibition include emergent ideas of digital skins as tools to understand ourselves; interrogating the societal effect of face filters; art disguised as memes and “brain rot”; and furry art as a form of artmaking and a functional part of a lifestyle. \nBy utilizing our familiarity with the internet for creative expression\, this group declares that this can be the vanguard for 21st-century art. \nArtists are Aubrie Testa\, Bun\, Dozzy and Baycun\, Elan Warren\, Elliott Moore\, Ivy Howard\, Katie Dobberpuhl\, Lauryn Tyler\, Madeline McGann\, meowgirl300\, Michel Darling\, Niko Mlynarčík\, Noah Peairson\, Oscar Hunt\, Paola Silva\, Piero Roque\, and scrawnyraccoon. \nThe Self Imagined is curated by Piero Roque\, Montserrat Galleries Curatorial Assistant.

SUMMARY:Danielle Krcmar: Teasing Gravity
DESCRIPTION:The rocks of New England are over 500 million years old. Across Massachusetts we dispose of over 230\,000 tons of textiles annually.  Somerville artist Danielle Krcmar creates objects that mimic the region’s landscapes using second-hand clothing\, including worn and moth-eaten sweaters\, yarn\, and miscellaneous threads. Krcmar cuts\, pieces\, and sews to create soft sculpted rocks\, velvety mosses\, grasses and other greenery. In what Krcmar calls Post Consumer Terrain sculptures\, these soft objects tease gravity\, compressing geological epochs with textile weightlessness\, slow formation with consumer velocity. Krcmar’s installation for the 301 Frame Gallery\, Teasing Gravity\, holds the tension between persistence and play\, inviting viewers to reconsider both the enduring and the disposable in the landscapes we inhabit. \nDanielle Krcmar is an artist and curator of the RSM Gallery at Bentley University. She earned her BFA in Sculpture from SUNY Binghamton and an MFA in sculpture from UMASS Amherst. She has received grants from the St Botolph Club Foundation\, the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, the Blanche Colman Foundation\, and the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation. She has completed architectural sculpture commissions in Ridgeway\, Illinois and Knoxville TN\, and created outdoor installations for the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust\, Forest Hills Cemetery\, and the Fort Point Channel area of Boston. Her work has been featured in Ocean State Review and Quilting with a Modern Slant in addition to having been reviewed in Sculpture Magazine\, The Boston Globe\, The Boston Herald\, The Boston Phoenix\, and Arts Media.

SUMMARY:Earthen Clay: As the apple disappears into water and sweetness in our bodies
DESCRIPTION:Artist talk: Monday\, September 22\, 11-12PM\, H101 \nArtist Reception: Wednesday\, September 24\, 5-7PM \nFree and open to the public \n  \nAs the apple disappears into water and sweetness in our bodies\, Earthen Clay’s first solo exhibition in Massachusetts\, includes paintings and sculptures made in the last two years. Clay’s site-responsive installation for the Montserrat Gallery is concerned with the space that is generated from the proximity of beings and objects and the experiences that unfold from these encounters. Folds\, stacks\, and stains contain embedded material and ask for prolonged acts of looking across unstable ground. Wooden scaffolding hold\, fix and bind\, allowing for spaces to exist within fragments of exuberant color and texture. \nThe exhibition’s title is taken from the book\, The Wise Heart\, by the American writer Jack Kornfield. Clay’s deeply personal work responds to Kornfield’s visual theorization of objects. Kornfield perceives that something like an apple\, is on the one hand\, a merely static thing in thought. But directly seeing\, holding\, or eating an apple is a succession of minute and ever-changing colors\, shapes\, and perceptions that are never still for a moment. Through a series of interrelated works that call to each other\, Clay is interested in questioning an unchanging\, fixed view that forecloses alternate potential liberatory futures. \nEarthen Clay was born in 1988 in Anchorage\, Alaska. He received his BFA from Watkins College of Art in Nashville in 2013 and his MFA from Yale School of Art in Painting and Printmaking in 2024. He attended Skowhegan in 2018 and was recently a teaching fellow at Norfolk Yale Summer School in Norfolk\, CT. His work has been shown most recently at SUPRS in Beijing\, Yossi Milo in New York\, and David Castillo in Miami\, FL. He works across disciplines including collage\, painting\, sculpture and site-responsive installation. \nRead the exhibition review in The Brooklyn Rail.

SUMMARY:Ron DiRito – Beyond Time: The Simultaneity of Now
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk: Wednesday\, October 1\, 11am\, H101 \nReception and light refreshments to follow in the library.\n  \nWhat happens when the act of reading is disrupted—when the page\, that thin sheet of paper\, is gone?\nYet the words remain. \nThis question is at the center of Beyond Time: The Simultaneity of Now\, an exhibition by Ron DiRito. \nIn these works\, DiRito creates palimpsests—texts layered upon texts—where the page no longer separates one thought from another\, no longer orders language in time. \nInstead\, each panel becomes a site of compression: words collapsing into words\, \nsentences folding into themselves\, forming images made entirely of language. \nMeaning no longer resides in narrative \nbut in the autonomous forms of the text itself. \nStacked and layered\, the palimpsest pages present everything all at once. \nFor viewers\, they resolve not as text to be read but as pure visual experience. \nThese images blot out the world. They have no past. There is no next. \nThey live entirely in the present. \nThis is The Simultaneity of Now.
