SUMMARY:Golden Gull
DESCRIPTION:GOLDEN GULL is an interactive exhibition involving the life surrounding Chadley Chaderson and the exquisite luxuries that revolve around living a golf-centric lifestyle.\n\nThroughout media involving movies\, TV shows and news outlets\, golf has been a representation of a leisurely past-time and active sport; most notably\, for wealthy\, older\, white men.\n\nThese men have taken the empires of their wealth and have channeled their energy into mastering what goes into the perfect golf swing.\n\nThis lifestyle is one adapted by Chadley Chaderson. As the perfect poster boy for the rags-to-riches style American Dream\, Chaderson followed his passion for golf\, opening the Club in the 1950s. He pushed himself day after day\, eventually becoming one of the richest\, most respected gentlemen of the mid-century.\n\nToday\, The Golden Gull Golf Club remains one of the top family tourism destinations on the East Coast\, despite many gristly rumors surrounding its past…\n \nGOLDEN GULL features the work of Gabi Casella\, Zack Fontaine\, Max Foster\, Coco Haseltine\, and Sarah Mason.\n \nCurated by Alexia Avila\, Kal Orna and Sam Rose.

SUMMARY:A World of Difference
DESCRIPTION:Black art is many things\, but singular is not one of them. As Montserrat’s Black Student Union\, our curatorial lens is focused here on *DEIB and representation in artistic voice and verb\, an idea that can be traced to the groundbreaking exhibition\, Art as a Verb\, curated by Dr. Leslie King Hammond in 1988. \nCurated by students from the Black Student Union\, the exhibition seeks to embrace the intersectionality of contemporary *BIPOC artistic expression. The exhibition aspires to present to Montserrat and the public that Black artists and those of African descent have agency to make anything\, and Black art can be anything while employing all genres of art and design. \nArtists include Michael Aghahowa\, Josh Beckett\, Dr. Leslie King Hammond\, Ari Montford\, Toby Sisson alongside BSU Student Artists Josue Bessiake\, Isaiah Hope\, Marc Elie Mordan\, KD Moye\, Taliyah Shepard. Ziggy Smith\, and Venus. \n  \n* Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging \n* Black\, Indigenous People of Color

SUMMARY:Don't Wake Mom & Dad
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Wake Mom & Dad explores the often eerie and uncomfortable recollection of childhood\, nostalgia\, gender expectations\, and self-identity. \nIn the recreation of an American nuclear family\, we use iconography often associated with mediums of vintage or analog horror to re-frame the gallery’s collection of art and advertisements. This juxtaposition of art\, memory\, childhood and horror is used to analyze how societal mechanizations shape us\, and how the assumption of a gendered binary experience gives little leeway for creativity\, empathy\, and growth. \nDon’t Wake Mom & Dad features the work of Darcie Blake\, Fernanda Diaz\, and Zack Fontaine. \nDarcie Blake is an interdisciplinary artist focusing primarily on illustration and photography. Her illustrative work draws inspiration from 90s and 00s children’s toys and media\, giving her work a sense of childlike optimism and wonder with a balance of adult themes like mental illness and cynicism. She is a resident artist of Wrong Brain\, an alternative art organization based in Dover\, NH\, and attended Montserrat from 2018 to 2019. She is also co-founder of Rock Water Film Festival and founder of an inclusive open-mic standup night. You can find more of her work on instagram @darcie.blake. \nFernanda Diaz is a multimedia artist with a primary focus on animation production. A proud Tejana who moved up north to pursue post-secondary education\, she aims to join the TV entertainment industry as a Visual Development Artist. Her obsession with internet mysteries and the paranormal combined with experiences of her perceptual limbo millennial and gen-z childhood have contributed to her style of drawing. Her artwork is heavily inspired by nostalgia and creepy cute aesthetics for all ages. \nZack Fontaine is a cross-disciplinary artist and educator from the northeast corner of Connecticut. He primarily works in sculpture and painting\, utilizing themes of childhood and the medium of toys to interrogate how they can affect the current reality of our world. He forged his unique stylistic choices and medium of work during the original COVID-19 quarantine in early 2020 while dabbling in playing board games as a method of painting or drawing. Later that year\, he dove head first into stuffed animals as a material. \nDon’t Wake Mom & Dad was curated by Alexia Avila\, Kali Orna\, and Sam Rose. \nSpecial thank you to Hannah Daigle\, Kiran Marwaha\, Max Foster\, and Will Higgins for assisting in putting up the mural.

SUMMARY:Gabriel Sosa - Today's Specials
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel Sosa transforms the 301 Gallery into a bodega storefront with Today’s Specials\, an installation comprised of oversized hand-painted works on paper. Amidst the announcements for laundry detergent\, apple juice\, and sopa de res\, you might be surprised at what else is on sale. Pointing to questions of subversion\, gentrification\, and the shortcomings of the American Dream\, Sosa’s work reminds us to look a bit closer at the language that surrounds us. \nGabriel Sosa is a Cuban-American artist\, educator\, and linguist. He draws from legal proceedings\, personal archives\, and contemporary visual culture to explore the mutability of language\, the imperfection of memory\, and the misinterpretation of both. His work has been shown at the O\, Miami Poetry Festival\, Museo La Tertulia\, Cali\, Colombia; Tufts University Art Galleries; Centro Cultural Español\, Miami; La Fábrica de Arte Cubano\, Havana; A R E A\, Boston; and the Contemporary Jewish Museum\, San Francisco. Raised in Miami and based in Boston\, Gabriel is a lecturer at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the Deputy Director of Essex Art Center in Lawrence\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Re-Viewing the Past
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday\, January 27\, 5:00-7:00 pm. Free and open to the public. \nPresented in conjunction with the exhibition\, Samuel Bak and the Art of Remembrance\, the group exhibition\, Re-Viewing the Past\, highlights the work of artists who explore ideas of history and memory as part of processes of re-writing or re-imagining. Creating in diverse media\, including painting\, printmaking\, animation\, and the graphic novel\, participating artists consider their connection to history — whether personal or collective — as it resonates with or is interpreted through the present moment and current socio-political and cultural issues.  Artists include Paul Emmanuel\, Maya Erdelyi\, Dell M. Hamilton\, Dave Ortega\, and Jordan Seaberry. \nThe exhibition continues in the Paul M. Scott Library Gallery. \nBorn in Zambia and currently living in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, Paul Emmanuel employs various media to reveal layered visions concerned with his identity living in the post-apartheid nation. Over the last decade\, Emmanuel has conceived and implemented the large-scale and ongoing Lost Men project\, a series of site-sensitive elegiac counter-memorials installed\, to date\, in public spaces in South Africa\, Mozambique\, and France.  The Lost Men\, was launched at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival in Grahamstown\, South Africa. In 2007\, Phase 2 of this project took place in Maputo\, Mozambique. In July 2014 The Lost Men France was installed adjacent to the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme\, Northern France. \nMaya Erdelyi is an award-winning animator and artist. She creates intricate hand-made animations and collages inspired by imaginary worlds\, music\, memories\, and the unconscious. Her animations explore a hybrid approach to cut-paper stop-motion\, puppetry\, hand-drawn\, digital animation\, and installation. Her work has been shown in national and international film festivals\, galleries\, museums\, and DIY venues. She is a recipient of a 2020 City of Boston Artist Fellowship Award\, a 2019 Yaddo Residency\, a 2018 WGBH Launchpad Residency\, a 2017 Brother Thomas Fellowship Award\, and the 2017 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in Film. \nDell M. Hamilton is an interdisciplinary artist\, writer\, and independent curator. Born in Spanish Harlem with ancestral roots in Belize\, Honduras\, and the Caribbean\, her practice wrestles with the social and geopolitical constructions of memory\, gender\, race\, language\, and history through the mediums of photography\, video\, drawing\, installation & performance. Dell’s work\, artist talks\, solo performances\, scholarly lectures\, and collaborative performances have been presented to a wide variety of audiences nationally and internationally. Dell is a 2021 recipient of a James and Audrey Foster Prize\, the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston. \nDave Ortega has been self-publishing comics and zines since 2010. For the past 8 years\, he has self-published over 6 issues\, the story of the early life of his grandmother: Días de Consuelo. In March 2022\, Días de Consuelo will be collected and published as a graphic novel by Radiator Comics. In 2013\, his comic Hacienda won the Comics Composition Competition\, awarded by Comics Workbook.

SUMMARY:Samuel Bak and the Art of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:Samuel Bak and the Art of Remembrance brings together more than 30 paintings and works on paper dating from the late 1980s to the present by the renowned artist and Holocaust survivor that explore ideas of history\, memory\, and trauma. Bak survived the Holocaust as a young boy and after the war\, emigrated with his mother to the newly established state of Israel where he took up the formal study of art. Over a long and prolific artistic career\, Bak has sought to make sense of the past\, cultivating a pictorial language that retrieves historical memory with the purpose of preserving Jewish life and culture in the wake of unfathomable atrocity. \nBak explores his memory of the Holocaust and its devastating aftermath not in explicit depictions of human suffering but rather through a rich vocabulary of personal\, cultural\, and religious symbols that elegiacally explore the enduring traumas of the past. Bak transforms recognizable objects\, such as teacups\, books\, candles\, and pears into metaphorical images that populate surrealistic and haunted landscapes painted in a somber palette of ochres\, reds\, and greens. In paintings where people are perceptibly absent\, these objects serve as surrogates and material witnesses to irretrievable loss and destruction. \nPainting is a catalyst for the reclamation of the past to understand the present. The exhibition posits Bak’s artmaking as an act of resilience and as a means of retaining Jewish identity and memory against historical trauma. While historically specific\, Bak’s work unequivocally resonates with broader moral and ethical issues that continue to bear upon human existence. \nSamuel Bak and the Art of Remembrance is curated by Lynne Cooney\, Director of Exhibition and Galleries with Montserrat College of Art students Aurora Gloor and Morghan Schnoll. \nThe exhibition is presented in cooperation with Pucker Gallery\, Boston and supported in part by Barbara & Jim Schaye\, Mercedes Sherrod Evans & David L. Evans\, and the Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation. \nAbove Image:\nPersistence of Memory\, 1989\nMixed media on paper\n25.4. x 19.75 in.\nCourtesy Pucker Gallery\, Boston \nAbout Samuel Bak \nSamuel Bak was born on August 12\, 1933 in Vilna\, Poland at a crucial moment in modern history. From 1940 to 1944\, Vilna was under first Soviet\, then German occupation. While both he and his mother survived\, his father and four grandparents all perished at the hands of the Nazis. At the end of World War II\, he and his mother fled to the Landsberg Displaced Persons Camp. Here\, he was enrolled in painting lessons at the Blocherer School\, Munich. Bak’s studies continued as he immigrated to Israel\, and he later received a grant to pursue his studies in Paris. \nIn 1959\, he moved to Rome where his first exhibition of abstract paintings met with considerable success. In 1961\, he was invited to exhibit at the “Carnegie International” in Pittsburgh. And\, in 1963 two one-man exhibitions were held at the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv Museums. It was after these exhibitions\, during the years 1963-1964\, that a major change in his art occurred. There was a distinct shift from abstract forms to a metaphysical figurative means of expression. Ultimately\, this transformation crystallized into his present pictorial language. \nSince 1959\, Samuel Bak has had solo exhibitions at private galleries in New York\, Boston\, London\, Paris\, Berlin\, Munich\, Tel Aviv\, Jerusalem\, Zurich\, Rome\, and other cities around the world. Numerous large retrospective exhibitions have been held in major museums\, universities\, and public institutions around the Globe. \nPublications on Samuel Bak’s work include twelve books\, most notably a 400-page monograph entitled Between Worlds\, and his touching memoir\, Painted in Words. He has also been the subject of two documentary films. \n  \nRelated Exhibition Events: \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 27\, 5:00-7:00 pm \nVirtual Artist Talk with Samuel Bak:  Thursday\, February 3\, 7:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Josh Beckett: Honest Intentions
DESCRIPTION:In this newly commissioned mural and series of paintings\, Beckett examines his personal struggles with emotional attachment and fulfillment. Beckett proposes that oftentimes our expectations around love are entangled with more superficial desires that are influenced by media and popular culture. He states\, “We grow up listening to sad RnB [songs] and movies about missed connections…We come out the other end as hopeless romantics addicted to vice and over stimulation.” \nJoshua Beckett is an illustrator from Baltimore\, Maryland. Growing up he would bully adults in Tekken at the arcade and watch cartoons with his dad. Falling in love with the amazing and energetic visuals from action-oriented comics and visual media\, Joshua set off on his own journey to master these skills and techniques. His quest began with rigorous self-study\, learning to draw and ink on his own before testing his might in the arena. His next goal was to acquire scrolls of power\, and so in 2015 he earned his first degree\, an A.A. in paralegal studies from the Baltimore City Community College. While earning his degree Joshua began studying the ancient art of tattoo design and application. Now armed with a strong sense of drama\, attention to detail\, quality of line\, storytelling and diverse legal understandings\, Joshua moved on to earn his BFA in Illustration from the Montserrat College of Art\, where he graduated in 2017.

SUMMARY:VISIBILITY 2021
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm \nVISIBILITY calls for the acknowledgment and recognition of artists with disabilities.  \nVISIBILITY 2021 is held at the border of two spaces: split between the physical and the digital. Emphasis is placed on this juxtaposition between the intangible nature of all digital spaces and the corporeal world. This flux is very much the nature of many disabilities –– as in VISIBILITY’s thesis point\, showcasing the very often invisible state of a disability. This year\, we’ve used scannable QR codes to bridge this gap. Maintaining accessibility is a key point in the VISIBILITY 2021 exhibition\, and thus the entire gallery is on-view within our website. \nFeaturing: \nLeann Ackerman \nAlex Babcock \nSavanah Cornell \nArysia Gurghigian \nAlexis Hackett \nMary Hall \nTy Isakson \nColleen Michaels \nAri Montford \nSaya Norton \nHaleigh O’Leary \nErein James Adiao Ruiz \nTaliyah Shepard \nZiggy Smith \nMadison Wallace \nHannah-Xavier \n  \nIn collaboration with Meg Grant\, Director of the Academic Access Studio. \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW GALLERY

SUMMARY:Caleb Cole: Show Me
DESCRIPTION:Caleb Cole: Show Me presents two related bodies of work that explore the visibility of the queer body and challenge binary constructions of gender identity.  In Other People’s Clothes\, an ongoing series begun in 2007\, Cole uses his physical body to inhabit the lives of others. By wearing various ensembles and assuming different poses and gestures\, Cole embodies characters he has never met nor who exist in real life\, portraying aspects of their fictional outer and inner lives. Even though Cole is present in the photograph\, he does not view these images as self-portraits or the characters he creates as alter egos. Rather\, the series examines assumptions and misconceptions around gender\, sexuality\, age\, and identity. In the series\, Traces\, Cole alters\, and re-photographs pages taken from gay men’s magazines from the 1980’s-1990’s so that the outlines of the suggestively reclined or entwined bodies become mere shadows or traces\, their identities symbolically negated. Also on view is a recent video work\, entitled Groom\, which depicts multiple and overlapping images of the artist gently caressing his facial hair. Such a seemingly narcissistic gesture can also be read as an affirming and a validation of Cole’s outer and inner self. \n  \nThe exhibition is concurrently on view with Caleb Cole: Collective Feelings\, a solo exhibition of new work at Gallery Kayafas in Boston\, which runs October 22 – December 4\, 2021 \nhttps://www.gallerykayafas.com/collective-feelings \n  \nBorn in Indianapolis\, Caleb Cole is a former altar server\, scout\, and 4-H Grand Champion in Gift Wrapping. Caleb’s mother instilled in them a love of garage sales and thrift stores\, where they developed a fascination with the junk that people leave behind. They are a 2015 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellow\, 2013 Hearst 8×10 Biennial Winner\, 3-time Magenta Foundation Flash Forward Winner\, 2011 St. Botolph Club Foundation Emerging Artist Award winner\, 2011 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship Finalist\, 2009 Artadia Award winner\, and a 2009 Photolucida Critical Mass finalist. Caleb exhibits regularly at a variety of national venues and has held solo shows in Boston\, New York\, Chicago\, and St. Louis\, among others. Their work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, Newport Art Museum\, Davis Art Museum\, Brown University Art Museum and Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art and represented by Gallery Kayafas in Boston. \n  \n \nImage: Birthday Girl\, 2008\, 19×13 inches\, Archival pigment print \nAbove Image: Trace (satin sheets)\, 2018\, 36×24 inches\, Archival pigment print

SUMMARY:Rob Roy: Dispatches
DESCRIPTION:Founders Gallery\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915\nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or\nBy Appointment: galleries@montserrat.edu\nDates\nSeptember 27\, 2021–January 14\, 2022 \nFounders Gallery is pleased to present a recent and ongoing series of monotypes by Rob Roy\, Professor of Painting\, Drawing\, and Printmaking at Montserrat College of Art. \nRoy prints on preprinted graphics\, such as commercially produced brochures\, postcards\, art magazines\, and catalogs\, layering his distinctive and bold graphics and vibrant color over the existing substrate. Through this process\, Roy does not so much as transform the found image than purposefully obfuscate it\, selectively incorporating areas of the original image only as it serves in the creation of the new work. \nWhile Roy’s prints display enticing materiality\, his subject matter is deceptively straightforward. Recurrent images and themes\, such as silhouettes of helicopters\, planes\, and automobiles are—a visual vocabulary that the artist refers to as an “open system”—symbolically allude to a range of current and historic events (such as ongoing wars\, terrorism\, and global conflicts) and aspects of consumer culture. Also on view are selections from Roy’s “Bestiary” series of animal figures\, printed in a similar style that convey ideas of nature versus culture.

SUMMARY:ANNIE LEE-DALY: THE WAR IS NOT A BOMBER JET ANYMORE
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm \nInformed by archival research and her experiences\, Annie Lee-Daly candidly explores race\, history\, and trauma by collecting and re-contextualizing found objects. She received a BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Montserrat College of Art in 2020. \nTHE WAR IS NOT A BOMBER JET ANYMORE rejects Korea’s legacy as a “Forgotten War” and instead links decades of sanctions enforced by the United States and United Nations as a continuation of their violent\, imperialist war against the Korean people.  \nFor 150 years\, the United States has directed countless acts of war crimes\, violence\, and terror on the Korean peninsula. From their first military expedition in 1871 to the 635\,000 tons of explosives and 32\,557 tons of napalm dropped on the northern region to the near half-million suspected communists in the south imprisoned in “virtual concentration camps.” Per the National Security Law\, the United States has always been an active instigator of war.  \nThe United States continues to occupy the southern region\, the Republic of Korea\, as a militarized neocolony while fabricating fear-mongering narratives of Koreans in the northern region\, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. These works hope to stir serious reflection on the United States’ continued occupation of Korea and the complicity of the west in vilifying\, dehumanizing\, and slaughtering the Korean people.  \nThe title of THE WAR IS NOT A BOMBER JET ANYMORE is taken from a talk of the same name by Crystal Mun-hye Baik and Nodutdol in association with the Oral History Program at Colombia University. \nThank you to Erin Kong\, Sheen Kim\, Sam Rose\, and Kali Orna for making this exhibition possible. \n

SUMMARY:ELIZABETH MOONEY: WHAT COMES AROUND
DESCRIPTION:Boston-based artist Elizabeth Mooney explores the urban landscape\, particularly her immediate Dorchester neighborhood where she has maintained a studio for nearly a decade\, through abstraction and kinetics. Mooney’s paintings and moving sculptures are\, in her words\, “extremely layered\, busy\, and bright.” She overlays bold color\, dramatic lines\, and imagery evocative of her urban surrounds — such as chain link fences\, concrete structures\, and hints of greenery — blurring distinctions between invention and reality.  Mooney consciously and slyly references and intersects histories of landscape painting and abstraction in her compositions in order to simultaneously deconstruct conventional ideas of the landscape and assert the beauty and visual cacophony of urban spaces. Elizabeth Mooney: What Comes Around presents a selection of recent paintings and a new kinetic sculpture created during the last year\, reflecting upon how much\, and how little\, her views of the urban environment have transformed. \nImage: Grind\, acrylic\, wood\, MDF\, metal\, wires\, Arduino\,\npaper\, mapping pins\, fences\, plastic; 4 spinning discs\, each rotating at different\nspeeds\, and in different directions.

SUMMARY:Animated Frames: Short Films from the Studio of Noble600
DESCRIPTION:Montserrat Galleries presents a selection of animated short films and commercials from the Los-Angeles based creative and production studio\, Noble600. The exhibition showcases the craft of animation through a wide range of techniques and styles used to tell diverse stories\, from Alicja Jasina’s lyrical animated short\, Once Upon a Line\, to innovative animated commercials produced for Huawei and Gatorade.  A highlight of the exhibition is the recent short film\, Negative Space\, created and produced by the Oscar nominated and Providence\, Rhode Island-based collective Tiny Inventions (Ru Kuwahata and Max Porter).

SUMMARY:Meg Nichols: Today is the Day
DESCRIPTION:Meg Nichols’ newly commissioned mural for the 301 Frame Gallery celebrates  the complexity of our current moment. With a seemingly simple message\, Nichols conveys the hurdles we have faced and the triumphs we have accomplished.  Nichols writes\, \n“This mural is dedicated to us. Coming out of 2020\, so many of us found ourselves going through minor to major life changes. A lot of us started saying “no” to things that weren’t working. Inequality\, conditions that were poor\, etc. Instead we started saying “yes” to our dreams\, to change\, to what really matters in our hearts. Whether you’ve already taken the first step\, dove in head first to something new\, or lingering with your foot over the gas …TODAY IS THE DAY. We have one life\, let’s make it count.” \nMeg Majors Nichols has a BFA in Photography and Printmaking from the School of Visual Arts in NYC. She is a sign painter\,\nlettering artist and muralist. For many years\, Meg travelled internationally as a photojournalist focusing on portraiture\, storytelling and music photography. Her vast world view and love of music\, local culture and people inspire her art every day. Based out of Salem\, MA\, Meg’s focus has been on public art by bringing beauty and joy to outdoor spaces since the pandemic started in 2020. \nwww.mink.studio @m.ink.studio @minkstudio82 \n

SUMMARY:The Landscapes Between Us
DESCRIPTION:301 Frame Gallery\n301 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915\nGallery Hours\n24/7\nDates\nThrough August 6\, 2021 \nBeverly-based artists WILL WEYGINT and CHLOE WILWERDING interrogate the artificiality of the urban and natural landscape in their mixed-media artworks. The Landscapes Between Us brings together these two artists who engage with different yet intersecting ideas around nature and culture. \nWeygint creates large-scale and densely layered paintings that incorporate images gleaned from pop culture\, ready-made objects\, and fictional characters that examine the complexities of the American urban landscape in the 21st century. Iconography denoting modern progress\, such as high-rises\, apartment buildings\, toxic clouds\, and analog and digital technologies\, populate Weygint’s dramatic and surreal compositions\, conveying a sense of alienation\, uncertainty\, and loss. Wilwerding’s digital prints on canvas similarly express a sense of detachment\, viewing the natural landscape and its representation as a human contrivance. She uses stock photos commonly used for commercial purposes as her base images\, which she then overlays with small\, digitally embroidered discs that serve both to magnify the image and reference a kind of ocular lens. The embroidered discs also cheekily allude to merit badges\, some with cliched sayings and like the types earned for completing different organized outdoor activities. Through these visual strategies\, Wilwerding proposes that the concept of nature is a cultural construct that we perform and surmount through regulated and structured interactions and activities.

SUMMARY:Jessica Lau: Disembodied Identities
DESCRIPTION:Founders Gallery\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915\nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or\nBy Appointment: galleries@montserrat.edu\nDates\nJune 17–August 116 2021 \nSomerville-based artist\, Jessica Lau\, explores the relationship between personal and social identity. Taking inspiration from her experiences as a second-generation Chinese American woman\, Lau transforms them into disembodied and provocative sculptures. With roots in production pottery and figurative sculpture\, Lau references the vessel and the body as a conceptual representation of internal and external forms\, investigating how different shapes can inform our conceptions of the body and its relationship to cultural and gendered identities. \nClay is a transformative material able to mimic pursed lips\, draping fabric\, furniture\, or skin. Lau delights in the mutability of this material\, skillfully manipulating it to evoke images of reproduction and part of the body. She also incorporates familiar items in her sculptures\, such as clothing\, industrial building materials\, beads\, crystals\, and both human and synthetic hair. Each sculpture – a portrait of moments of pleasure and pain that accompanies dynamic points in the cycle of life – offers new forms and languages to examine the fragility of the human condition and her desire to reinvent it. \n  \nImage:  Jessica Lau\, Ch’ing Nasty\, 2020.

SUMMARY:HOPE TIAN: IN BLOOM
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nBy appointment \nContact: olivia.lejeune@montserrat.edu \nHOPE TIAN is a self-taught painter born and raised in Beijing\, China who now resides in Greater Boston. Tian creates lush and saturated landscapes and portraits that are simultaneously other-worldly and true to life. Her landscapes are bathed in sublime and shadowy light and color; the subjects of her portraits\, who often bear a resemblance to the artist\, are poignant reflections on the range of the human emotion. The influence of French Impressionism\, and more specifically\, the paintings of Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet\, are apparent in Tian’s thick application of oil paint and bold and expressionistic brush strokes. Of oil painting Tian remarks\, “Oil painting\, in its purest form\, can unveil and release all of our thoughts and emotions that sometimes we didn’t know were there.” For Tian\, painting is a visual as well as material process through which she forms a deeper understanding of herself and a connection to the world around her.  \nTian has exhibited at commercial galleries regionally and her most recent work can be found on Instagram @hope.tian and her website: www.hopetianfineart.com.  She hosts a monthly “Meet the Artist” Zoom gathering to discuss a variety of art-related topics. \nHope Tian\, Sunflower\, 2015\, Oil on canvas

SUMMARY:Half Passed
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm \nHALF PASSED transforms the Bare Gallery into an interactive dreamscape. Following the previous show sonder\, HALF PASSED turns the clock into a manifestation of terror. The viewer finds themselves walking into an abstraction of reality narrated by their own inner theater. Each subtlety defines a new absurd connection between the viewer and their subconscious. The allegory of counting sheep is disrupted by an alternative outcome creating an immersive\, inescapable nightmare. Deeper horrors emerge from a disturbed state of slumber. \nHALF PASSED is a collaborative project with The Backrooms Guild.\nMarch 26 – May 10\, 2021 \nLexi Palmberg\nSaya Norton\nSam Rosenfeld\nKali Orna\nAurora Gloor\nBrooke Fraser\nChey Duarte\nKimmy Malaspina\nCarter Fluckiger \nhttps://youtu.be/PSl85aJ8FxU

SUMMARY:BADASS - New England Biolabs
DESCRIPTION:New England BioLabs\nIpswich\, MA 01938 \n2nd Floor\, Hardie Building\nMontserrat College of Art\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nBy Appointment \nDates\nJanuary 10–February 7\, 2021\, New England Biolabs \nFebruary 17–March 9\, 2021\, Montserrat College of Art \nAn exhibition from work completed in the course Painting as Object\, at Montserrat College of Art during the fall semester of 2020 \nThis group of art students enrolled in a course that looks at the question\, “What is an image and what is an object?” In addition\, they explored what can painting be in our contemporary world. How far can it be stretched until it becomes something else? What is the relationship to the wall\, the ceiling\, the floor\, a corner or a threshold? \nIn order to better understand what these questions might mean\, we looked at contemporary artists whose work explores this 2/D -3/D area\, hosted two visiting artists\, conducted research\, designed presentations\, supported one another in the studio work\, and engaged in critique and discussion. \nThese art students are from different concentrations\, including Painting\, Animation\, Graphic Design\, Illustration and Interdisciplinary Arts. They each have different points of view yet were able to provide valuable feedback on one another’s visual explorations. They embraced risk-taking and were consistent in showing up. For that and more\, I am very proud of them. Badass! \nDiane Ayott\, Artist and Professor \nArtists:\nAbigail Coffman\nErein James Adiao Ruiz\nEileen Coughlin\nCole Hatch\nMorghan Schnoll\nLily Walsh\nJack Debusk \n— \nErein James Adiao Ruiz \nErein James Adiao Ruiz is an interdisciplinary artist who finds himself very interested in the exploration of found materials alongside the realization of spatial relationships. Whether those interests include understanding the connections made from wall to wall\, floor to ceiling\, or pushing the limitations of a material; that awareness stays constant and is encouraged throughout his process despite his humorous executions. His themes range from the abstraction of hyperactivity within the individual psyche\, to the subconscious nature of interactivity towards physical art. Erein currently lives in River Edge\, New Jersey and attends Montserrat College of Art as a first semester junior\, concentrating in the Interdisciplinary Arts. \nLily Walsh \nLily Walsh is a multimedia artist\, with an immense interest in the different textures that separate mediums have to offer. Whether the medium is physical or digital\, she often finds herself inside the work\, and is not afraid to get messy when it comes to getting to the root of her ideas. Currently she is focused on questioning the idea of what a painting can be\, as well as what its relationship to the world is. She is also focused on the concept of expressing texture and physicality through different mediums. Currently she has acquired an interest in insulation foam as a material and tool towards achieving these ideas. Lily currently lives in Northern Massachusetts\, and attends Montserrat College of Art as an Animation major. \nMorghan Elena Schnoll \nMorghan Schnoll found this exploratory course to be eye opening. Incorporating mixed media into her painting allowed her to engage with the process of making art in a new way. She loved the visiting artists\, who underscored this new studio experience of using a variety of approaches. And although she felt unsettled with the assignment requiring eliminating ideas\, she pushed forward in her work. Morghan is from New Jersey and this is her second year at Montserrat College of Art with a concentration in painting. \nAbigail Coffman \nAbigail Coffman is a ceramicist and painter. Through her first semester as a transfer junior at Montserrat College of Art\, Abigail has found joy in creating work for the sake of exploration and experimentation. The work she has produced in this course has given her new meaning to how painting and sculpture intertwine\, and the definition of a painting. Abigail is from Baltimore\, Maryland\, and studies Interdisciplinary Arts. \nCole Hatch \nCole Hatch is a Writer\, Illustrator\, and newbie to the world of Object creation. Having broken the illustrative mold\, Cole spent his Final semester at Montserrat College of Art discovering new and fantastic ways to create\, and putting his all into the act of ‘Just Creating’ Inspired by advice from the great Susan Scott\, Cole approaches each of his constructive pieces by just making\, just doing\, just going for it. Cole is from Orland\, Maine\, and has finished his BFA for Illustration and Creative Writing. \nJack DeBusk \nJack DeBusk is a Painter who is currently in his senior year at Montserrat College of Art. Jack enjoys working both on his non-objective and figurative painting. And he has also spent the last two years creating works that reside within a liminal space between image and object through the means of stuffed forms. He has experimented with sculptural paintings that hang against the wall\, mimicking the human presence\, akin to body bags. These quickly evolved into stuffed paintings which incorporate flat graphics that protrude from the wall with the incorporation of the tonality of Lorum Ipsum Cryllic text. Throughout all of these various expressions\, Jack is keenly in tune with formal elements that underscore the process of making. \n
