SUMMARY:Pastime: The Art of the Game
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, October 15\, 6-8pm \nMass-produced games of all types\, including interactive toys\, board and card games have entertained the public since the nineteenth century. The North Shore is home to a rich history of game design and production\, notably Parker Brothers which was founded in Salem\, MA in 1883. In multiple galleries\, Pastime: The Art of the Game highlights the artistic design and the aesthetic experience of game play. The exhibition features a selection of iconic Parker Brothers games\, including Monopoly\, Nerf\, and Bop-It. Also presented are installations of the World War II strategy games Axis and Allies by Larry Harris and the popular children’s stacking card game Rhino Hero by art directors and toy designers Steven Strumpf and Scott Frisco. Pastime illustrates the art of game design through the presentation of drawings\, prototypes\, and early production models\, linking the legacy of innovation in game design unique to the region to an emerging generation of young game designers at Montserrat College of Art. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a robust series of programs\, including an interactive gaming space within the exhibition as well as a series of public talks by game designers\, and events for students and the public. \nOrganized by the Montserrat Galleries in collaboration with gaming pioneer John Sutyak\, founding member and Chief Creative Officer of Hasbro Interactive and former Montserrat trustee.

SUMMARY:Place\, Culture\, Presence: Student Works from Mallorca\, Spain
DESCRIPTION:Select works from eight students who traveled to Mallorca\, Spain\, in Winter 2025. \nThis exhibition presents work created during a two week intensive course in which students made art on location across the island. Traveling through cities\, villages\, coastlines\, and countryside\, participants explored how place\, culture\, and history shape creative experience and expression. \nDaily excursions to museums\, markets\, and historic landmarks provided cultural and historical context\, while Mallorca’s varied terrain\, its shifting light\, color\, and atmosphere\, became an ever changing studio. \nWorking on location in this context moves beyond traditional plein air practice. Rather than merely recording appearances\, students engaged in an act of radical attention\, a sustained awareness of time\, space\, and presence. Through observation\, reflection\, and creative response\, they became part of their surroundings\, translating the rhythm and essence of the island into visual form.
