SUMMARY:Low Light
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Friday\, February 6\, 5:30-8:00pm \nArtist Talk: Adam Miller + Haig Dermarjian: Wednesday\, March 4\, 11-12pm\, H101 \nLow Light brings together an interdisciplinary group of artists\, each uniquely interpreting the allure of low light as their stage. Featuring work from several Montserrat alumni\, and curated by alumni David Ferreira and Sean Carney\, Low Light explores a range of disciplines to interpret darkness\, shadow\, and subtle illumination. Each artist’s contribution offers a distinct perspective on what can be revealed—or obscured—by dim or failing light. Low Light presents a thought-provoking visual experience that captures the imagination\, encouraging viewers to step into atmospheres where muted tones\, enigmatic shadows\, and brief glimpses of light speak volumes. \nLow Light features Adam Miller\, Brian Martin\, Haig Demarjian\, Greg Orfanos\, C.a. Shofed\, Sami Wyckoff\, Paula Nelson\, Peter Pasquerello\, Sean Carney and David Ferreira

SUMMARY:Haley Wood: Bad Alchemy
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Friday\, February 6th\, 5:30-7:30pm \nIn a new series created for the Carol Schlosberg Gallery\, fiber artist\, Haley Wood\, explores the classic imagery of alchemy—such as the three stages of blackening\, whitening and reddening\, and the hermaphroditic form—through intricate textiles and layered compositions. Wood draws visual parallels between alchemical themes and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as described by the psychologist\, Carl Jung\, such as imagery of the wheel and ouroboros representing the cyclical nature of compulsive thought. \nBad Alchemy is an exploration of the dynamic between Hermetic alchemy and Jung. Then called “compulsion neurosis\,” Jung described individuals with this condition as “indeed brimful of inhuman beastliness and ruthless evil\, against the integration of which the very delicately organized personality puts up a desperate struggle.”  By performing various acts of “meticulousness and ceremonial punctilio\,” the ruthless evil within may be avoided. \nWood’s series for this exhibition is also inspired by the Slapp Happy/Henry Cow song “Bad Alchemy”\, “Bad” translates in German to a prefix for spa towns\, or villages with a healing hot spring. In the central piece of this exhibition Wood investigates the purification rituals that can manifest both in alchemy and OCD.  Whether there will ever be a solution to this inhuman beastliness is unknown- but to look upon a quote from Jung’s dream analysis: “Salvation does not come from refusing to take part or running away. Nor does it come from just drifting. Salvation comes from complete surrender; with one’s eyes always turned to the centre.” \nHaley Wood is a fiber artist living in Cambridge\, Ma. She has shown her work at the Abigail Ogilvy Gallery in Los Angeles and Boston\, the MassArt Auction\, and the SPRING/BREAK Art Fair in Manhattan. She holds a BFA in Fibers from Massachusetts College of Art & Design. She has received the MassArt Milestone Grant\, Comics Advocacy Group Mini Grant\, Marilyn Pappas Award\, and the Barbara L. Kuhlman Award. \n

SUMMARY:Ena Kantardžić: to give what is due
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: February 14\, 2026\, 5–7PM\n301 Cabot St\, Beverly\, MA 01915 \nNemesis cursed Narcissus for his vanity\, causing him to die staring at his own reflection. Nemesis is a distributor of fortune and retribution\, neither good nor bad—literally meaning “to give what is due.” \nto give what is due by Ena Kantardžić is an experiential exhibition at Montserrat College of Art’s FRAME 301 Gallery. The show features UAV (unmanned aircraft vehicle) documentary footage of Kantardžić’s on-going land work echo 2 as 2-channel laser projection\, as well as new material created from harvested narcissi (daffodils). \nWithout a consistently coherent horizon\, to give what is due disorients viewers in two consequential flights\, following the vision of the drone via the lasers of the projector. The physical remnants of the satellite site line the architecture of the gallery\, reflecting sunlight while framing the boundaries of the videos. Accentuated by varying degrees of visibility\, to give what is due considers perceptibility across circumstantial conditions: contrasting void with life\, stability with line\, and retribution to sympathy. \necho 2 is a performative installation in the Green Mountains. Dug by hand\, Kantardžić planted 1000 narcissus bulbs in a trench 144ft/44m long\, moving thousands of pounds/kilos of earth. Inspired by Richard Long’s 1967 sculpture Line Made by Walking\, Kantardžić is interested in human impact on the land\, with land understood as the root of conflict. Informed by their family’s refuge to the United States due to the Yugoslav Wars\, the artist reappropriates themes and materials of contemporary warfare. \nWorks on view: \nUntitled (echo 2)\, 2024–2025\nUAV footage .mp4 as 2-channel laser projections\nDimensions variable/23:23 \nUntitled (shadow)\, 2026\nNarcissus pseudonarcissus bioplastic and muscovite\nDimensions variable \nFor more information\, visit https://www.ekantardzic.com
