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. Motion sensor activated. Approx 60 x 60 x 18 inches \nAbove Image: Down the Pike\, 2020\, acrylic on wood\, 36 x 36 inches

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). Based on a 150-word poem by Ron Koertge\, Negative Space is a beautiful and heartfelt story about a father-son relationship through the art of packing a suitcase. \nNoble 600 represents talented storytellers\, directors\, and animators. With deep roots in both live action and animation\, Noble600 collaborate with agencies\, artists\, and brands to create content and tell stories than inform\, transform\, connect and entertain. \n  \nAbove image: Still from the animated short film\, Negative Space. Directed and written by Max Porter & Ru Kuwahata. Produced by Nidia Santiago & Edwina Liard and co-produced by Jean-Louis Padis. Original poem by Ron Koertge. \n  \n  \n

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

SUMMARY:SONDER
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat Community \nsonder is an opportunity for viewers to slow down and recontextualize their own experience walking through Bare Gallery. In the past\, Bare Gallery has been a space for presenting and displaying visual art. This exhibition works to establish a stronger connection between the participant and the environment\, ultimately allowing for an unknown and unique experience. \nA lightbulb and a clock imitate the sun and the moon. As the participant finds themselves between these two objects\, they embody Earth and life. The participant rotates to see the moon keeping time\, and the sun emitting light. Unlike outer space\, this ‘inner space’ allows for an autonomous halt\, creating a new pattern of physics. \nEach participant is instructed to leave a mark on a notecard\, white it out\, and apply it to the wall with a tack. The act of marking the notecard allows for a transfer of energy and communication. The white out prevents a misinterpreted perception of the communication being left behind by x participant. Then\, the participant punctures the wall with a tack\, archiving evidence of energy\, orbit\, and trace. \nParticipants can remotely recreate this experience. By placing themselves between variations of lights and clocks\, and pencils and paper\, they welcome the awareness of life in themselves and their surroundings. \nIf you choose to recreate your sonder experience remotely\, please share photos or videos with us via @bare.gallery on Instagram or baregallery@montserrat.edu. \nCurated by Saya Norton ’22 and Lexi Palmberg ’21 \n

SUMMARY:Emily Lombardo: The Caprichos
DESCRIPTION:248 Gallery\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat Community or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nhttps://youtu.be/5Uupau7rEoU \n2013-2016\nEtching and aquatint\, 9 x 6 inches \nThe Caprichos\, by Emily Lombardo\, is a series of 80 etchings which are in direct conversation and homage to Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos\, 1799. Both reveal the dark underbelly of cultural movements which ultimately serve to divide society across economic\, racial\, political\, religious\, and gender lines. \nGoya’s series explores the artist’s dissatisfaction and disgust with humanity’s follies during the Enlightenment\, a period in which much of the Western world embraced reason and scientific discovery\, yet the artist’s native Spain experienced devastating wars\, economic humiliation\, and religious fanaticism. Though inspired by his own society\, Goya’s prints expose humanity’s universal failings. They reveal the dangerous tendency of all cultural movements to give way to fascism and inequity. \nLombardo continues this investigation within the modern\, globalized world\, bringing these same issues into contemporary light through a queer feminist lens. Using Goya’s work as a point of departure\, Lombardo showcases recognizable figures and events – including Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump\, Miley Cyrus’s act at the 2013 MTV VMAs\, and Damien Hirst’s diamond skulls – to critique everything from international politics and the art market to gender roles and societal expectations. The use of recognizable politicians\, celebrities\, events and institutions make The Caprichos instantly accessible to present-day viewers. \nEdition of 12. Numbered\, signed\, and dated in pencil.\nPublished by Childs Gallery and printed at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Norwalk\, CT) by printer Opal Ecker DeRuvo. \n  \nGenerously on loan from Childs Gallery. \nEmily Lombardo\, Frontispiece: Study for The Sleep (State I)\, from The Caprichos\, 2013\nEtching and aquatint

SUMMARY:Mike Grimaldi and Brett Mason : As Above\, So Below
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nThe exhibition will be iterated four times throughout the duration.\nAs Above\, So Below is a visual conversation between Mike Grimaldi ’05 and Brett Mason ’12. \nDespite the two artists graduating from Montserrat College of Art and both having years of experience in the fine arts field\, each artist’s style is entirely unique unto themselves. Grimaldi and Mason come from two different galaxies in regards to their visual aesthetic and artistic approach. \nThis exhibition is a microcosm to the macrocosm of individuals finding common ground and understanding. The artists needed to negotiate\, collaborate\, and ultimately compromise on the work as a whole. What is presented on the wall is a synthesis of two minds creating a work of art that could not have existed without collective organization. \nAs further exploration of the concept\, the artists will return separately to iterate the piece over the course of the semester. This act of call and response is emblematic of the conversations necessary to reach understanding. \n\n  \nMike Grimaldi ’05 is known as Grimdrops in the art world. He lives on the north shore of Boston in historic Salem\, Ma. After art school\, he started designing logos\, painting live at events\, painting on canvas for private collectors and painting murals on parking lots\, tiny houses and even at city hall. Whether it’s at a restaurant\, a creative studio\, on canvas\, a separation wall in the backyard\, a tunnel leading out to a football field or on the facade of a tiny house\, Grimdrops wants his work to stop people in their tracks. He wants them to take a closer look – often for a selfie. At live events\, He creates custom art that can be tailored to the specific occasion\, whether it be the subject matter of the piece\, the color palette or even incorporating a logo. One time\, he designed and painted a mural in 48 hours and he wants to do that in less than a day. Grimdrops ultimate goal is to create a mural or live painting in every state and on every continent. \nBrett Mason ’12 is a painter and muralist based in the North Shore of Massachusetts and has exhibited throughout New England. Much of his current acrylic paintings reflect the concepts of sacred geometry and organic elements in nature\, often combining the ideas to create mystical landscapes. Through his meditative practice that reflects upon the theme of geometry\, Mason contemplates the balance and symmetry within nature that inspires a deep connection to the world around us. His work imbues a call to preserve the environment and the balance of human and natural order. By finding balance within ourselves\, we can bring forward positive action towards a healthy and stable future. Mason hopes to transcend these ideas into reality through his work by allowing people to contemplate his vision of a balanced world. \n  \n \n  \n \nMike Grimaldi & Brett Mason\, Collaborative Painting

SUMMARY:Courtney Stock : Ray
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nStreet side\, on view 24/7 \nCOVID-19 has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across the United States and millions of people worldwide. Numbers of this size can feel abstract\, transforming a large group of individuals into an anonymous conglomerate. Through Ray I seek to commemorate the people who have died as a result of the coronavirus as well as translate the unending data into visual form.    \nRay is not a traditional or austere memorial and instead full of light and color. Long strands of faceted beads speak to our interconnectedness and the lasting impact each human has on the world around them. Each bead represents a person who has been lost to COVID-19 within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As of January 19\, 2021\, when this statement was completed\, the state’s official death count was 13\,705. The true death toll from the disease is widely understood to be much higher.  \nWhile Ray commemorates those lost\, it is also an offering to their survivors\, intended as a site for mourning\, reflecting\, and remembering. I utilized materials that conduct color and light in the service of cultivating beauty\, wonder\, and pleasure\, a visual panacea for this tragic moment in our collective history.  \n— \nCourtney Stock (B. 1987 Malden\, MA) is an artist based in Boston\, MA. Throughout her work\, Stock explores material juxtapositions as a way of discussing duality\, identity\, and shared humanity. Stock draws her materials from traditional realms of painting\, sculpture\, textile\, and craft\, though approaches them intuitively and divergently\, resulting in the creation of hybrid objects. In her series of fiber sculptures\, Stock forms hand-dyed silk and wool into shapes reminiscent of bodies or clouds\, later embellishing their porous surfaces with beads or rope. In another series of woven paintings\, Stock riffs off the traditional grid and weaves together cut fragments of former works\, made from linen or acetate\, assembling them into new mended wholes. Frequently crafting subtle hints\, whether at representation\, humor\, or collective experience\, Stock ultimately seeks a multiplicity of expression. \n“Making my work feels analogous to life itself – an act of creation\, configuration\, reconfiguration – an act of destruction and reconstruction\, paradox” – Courtney Stock \nStock’s work has been featured in recent group exhibitions such as\, Nine: A Quiet Stand\, Forsberg Art Gallery\, Longview\, WA; Creating in COVID: an online exhibition curated by Rachel Kay; and Everyday in August: a virtual exhibition by bosscritt. Her work has also been exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, San Francisco\, CA; Fort Point Community Arts Gallery\, Boston\, MA; and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale\, Kerala\, India. Stock has participated in residency programs including the Inside / Out Art Museum\, Beijing\, China\, and the Vermont Studio Center\, Johnson\, VT. She earned a B.A. in Visual Arts from Bowdoin College\, a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from San Francisco Art Institute\, and an M.F.A from Massachusetts College of Art & Design. \nhttp://coustocal.com/

DESCRIPTION:Reception: December 12th 5–10pm \nThe Underground\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nM–F\, 10am–5pm \nIn Lucidez Viva (portuguese for Living Lucidity) four fine artists working with blacklight enhanced painting\, prints\, and sculpture enhance the senses and electrify the way the audience experiences a traditional white wall gallery space. The four artists work with themes of identity\, the body\, memory\, and history of trauma. Lonergan curates a bold hypnotic neon experience and encourages viewers to let go in this alternate urban club scene/gallery space. The preferred show date is Thursday\, December 12th\, 2019 and the installation time frame could begin after 6pm on Wednesday\, December 11th\, 2019. With the end of the semester happening the same week\, this show will only be up for the opening on the 12th and Friday\, December 13th with de-installation beginning on Saturday\, December 14th. \nAaron Lonergan is a printmaker with a background in sculpture\, mixed media\, and digital media. His current thesis work looks into his own understanding of himself. Lonergan hones in on his personal connections with his ancestry and draws inspiration from the new found outlook on these cultures. One of these connections is to a chain of islands called “The Azores” off the coast of Portugal that inspired the show’s title. Lonergan’s work addresses parts of himself that he never faced head on: his attempt at suicide\, his PTSD from abuse\, his trauma as a young child\, and his experiences with ADHD. With a focus on composition\, visual language\, bold color choices and optical imagery\, Lonergan attempts to explain visually what for years he could not explain in words. As part of his thesis work\, Lonergan effortlessly translates his prints into creative graphic tees and plans to unveil a full line of neon-based shirts in a fashion show on the night of the event.  \nPhoebe “Crazypants” Warner is an interdisciplinary artist based in Boston\, MA. Her work spans a wide range of styles and media. For her contribution to “Lucidez Viva” she uses neon puff paint and fluorescent spray paint to create eye-popping intricate designs on CDs. \nWarner has always used puff paint. At only $1 a bottle\, Warner has found it to be an accessible and versatile media. In her teens\, she could create anything she wanted on AOL free trial CDs that came in the mail every few weeks. She would decorate them with all kinds of different designs and nail them to her wall. It was a meditative and methodical process she used as a coping mechanism through all the trauma and depression she faced on a regular basis. This theme carried through to her senior exhibition at Montserrat College of Art in December 2015. Instead of a two-dimensional plane\, Warner found comfort in giving life to thrift items that nobody wanted anymore. \nWith such an extensive knowledge of puff paint\, Warner is now focusing on the format of the compact disc itself. CDs have become almost entirely obsolete except as an accoutrement for collectors. Warner is using this opportunity to repurpose the CDs to refract light and speak new memories in her intuitive puff paint language. \nAshley Huard’s work is a mixed-media exploration of the five senses: sight\, touch\, taste\, hearing\, and smell. She has challenged herself to illustrate compositions demonstrating action or motion. This concept has led to psychedelic\, repeating patterns that pair harmoniously with the use of UV reactive materials and light. \n“Lucidez Viva” will feature a collection of 7 circular pieces\, from Huard\, ranging in different diameters. These works are to be installed horizontally on the gallery walls\, with the largest piece central. Working from the center out\, the diameter of each piece slightly decreases. The end result of installation will create an eye catching flow of work in an arrow formation. \nHuard realizes the image of the body has a powerful role in our society. This is why she shows interest in celebrating the human body. In the past\, she primarily worked in full body portrait. Now\, she chooses to zone in and shine a spotlight on the specific experiences of the body. Huard aims to remind her viewers of the miraculous capabilities of their bodies. \nMayonashia “May” Jones is a printmaker with backgrounds in painting and collage. She creates works that specifically hit on identity and culture. Her experiences as a mother\, a daughter\, a sister\, a woman\, and a friend influence her work and elevated her self-understanding. Throughout her style of work\, she has expressed losing identity and gaining identity all in one piece. Using nothing but lines and color too portray these feelings. \nFor Jones’ contribution to the Lucidez Viva\, she will be creating neon enhanced acrylic paintings using mirrors as the applying foundation. Just about 15+ different shaped and sized mirrors will be shown installed in different directions and locations of the exhibit to correspond with one another. With the disbursement of these mirrors it is hoped to push the audience to really look pass their own identity while looking into pieces of hers. Jones will also be selling prints of her work for $20 each.

SUMMARY:Are You Still Watching? - Senior Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \n\nNATHANIEL CIOFFI \nBroken Amend/ments \nThis project explores the degradation of meaning through repetition and reinterpretation over time. Each of these works represents a multi-poster series. The process starts by formally typesetting each constitutional amendment. After this\, the font size is systematically increased with each poster causing the language to become distorted. \nThis is symbolic of the repeated reinterpretation of the laws over the decades\, distorting original intents\, and covering up racial injustices that are written into those laws. This project raises the question\, is it time to rewrite the oldest constitution? \nFrustration & Isolation \nThese works have come out of my own reflections on feelings of anger\, frustration\, and isolation in 2020. \nYOU ARE HERE! \nThis project explores the idea that we are all together in our shared feelings of loneliness\, frustration\, and isolation during this unforgettable year. \nI am a local designer operating out of Peabody\, MA. My work explores Political and social themes. Using typography\, photographic media\, animation\, and vector illustration. \n@cioffidesigns.art / cioffidesigns.art \n  \nPAIGE DEMPSTER \nNihilist Dogs \nThere must be a meaning to life\, but I have no clue what it is or what it even could be. I was filled with this existential dread about halfway through the semester\, making it difficult to take care of myself beyond basic survival\, let alone produce any sort of meaningful work. I have a bad habit of letting my emotions bleed into my art\, as well as the lifelong artsy quirk of doodling in the margins of my notebook\, so I put the two together and began drawing these strange looking dogs and combining them with garish handwritten text expressing a nihilist world view\, then I finally cut the images up into small books. The liveliness of the dogs combined with the animated yet existential text create a stark contrast that make them hard to ignore\, and turning the images into books cuts the image up to make them hard to understand\, but able to vaguely piece together if meditated on for long enough\, just like life. I knew from the beginning that I wanted these to be small books so people could take a little bit of this sentiment with them\, so I included a fully pieced together image as a sticker to encourage people to do so. \nI’m Paige\, a graphic design student with an interest in illustration and creative writing. I’ve been going to Montserrat since 2015\, but I struggled for the first two years of my college career\, so I took some time off to recollect myself and set my priorities straight. When I returned to campus in 2018\, my only objectives were to do my best and to not fail; just the bare minimum to survive. Now\, my goals are to never stop improving\, to refine my work\, and still not fail. I’m still not where I want to be\, I don’t know if I ever will be\, but I’m at the point where I can stare at my own art and feel a spark of pride. It took five years for something so small\, but compared to where I was when I started\, the difference is anything but insignificant. Once I graduate\, I hope to settle into freelance design work while working to publish a graphic novel my friend and I are making on the side. \n@paigedempster1 \n  \nMAY FUNDA\nAdrift – Book series \nMy work is about depicting animals in their natural habitats and evoking feelings of being surrounded by them\, as if the viewer is in the image as well. The reason I chose to focus on \naquatic animals is because they always seemed mysterious to me. They’re beautiful and complicated\, and the ocean they live in is so unexplored. The majority of organisms alive currently live under the ocean\, and most of the ocean is unexplored. I wanted to use colors that helped convey the peaceful feeling of each image\, and the text in each image is supposed to  \ncomplement the visuals. I used text taken from spreads in my final book that I printed last semester\, to keep some continuity\, and I repurposed them to fit the images I’ve added or changed for this book. My goal is to be experimental with the placement of text\, using colors and font styles that complement the rhythm of the images from one page to the next. \nMay Funda is an animation major at Montserrat College of Art.  They have been at Montserrat for three years\, after transferring from community college. They were born in Boston but lived in New Jersey  for most of their life. They grew up enjoying art from a young age\, and  had lessons and art summer camp for several years. May also likes to read fiction books and play guitar. They enjoy being around animals  and learning about them\, which has influenced their thesis project. \n@may.funda \n\nGABRIELLE GOMEZ\nThis exhibition presents the work of 3rd\, 4th\, 5th and 6th grade art lessons using the Design Thinking Process. None of the works in this show are “finished” in the traditional sense. As artists\, we continually work on an idea and\, with the steps of the DTP\, keep going back to the drawing board to flesh out our ideas until they are fully realized and problems are solved. \nThis process allows students to become creative problem solvers. The need to be creative thinkers and solvers is especially high during this year as students had to work with materials found at home and be explorative with art supplies that they wouldn’t normally use in the classroom. \nMy goal for these projects is to have students utilize their creativity to find a problem and create a solution by creating a  functional piece of art that solves that problem. In addition to that I want to highlight the necessity of students showcasing their voice with each process step to emphasize why this problem is important for them to solve.  \nGabrielle Gomez is from Dennisport\, MA and has received her BFA with a concentration in Art Education from Montserrat College of Art in 2020. She has an interest in mixed media artwork. She is currently serving her Practicum at Jacob Hiatt Magnet School in Worcester\, MA under Kathryn Egnaczak where she teaches Kindergarten to 6th grade art. She teaches her students about the artistic process of always being in a working period and never “finished” while also showing that art does not have to be made with “real art materials.” A mark can be made the same way with both a ball point pen found in a desk drawer and a paintbrush coated in expensive oils. \n@gabi_gmz97 \n\nCOLE HATCH\nThis final year for me has felt like a rush to the end\, the rapid\, unrelenting shove past the finish line as I completed my final semester at Montserrat during this insufferable pandemic. Though I am sad to be leaving this wonderful community behind me\, I am grateful for the insane progress in my artwork that was made possible due to the people and classes I found here. \nWhat you have here is a glimpse into my sketchbook from this year\, various sketches and drawings from these past few months that I felt deserved a bit of a spotlight. While this is not my end-all be-all set of art\, it is what I am proud of currently\, and I cannot wait to blow it out of the water. My goal is and always will be to keep getting better. No matter where I work\, no matter what I do\, no matter what’s going on. If I can improve my art skills\, I will. That is the goal. So\, I hope that whoever is looking through this little gallery likes flipping through the highlights of my sketch book\, and I want everyone to know that even with all this pandemic garbage going on\, we can all do better\, be better\, and improve in out own ways. The only thing stopping us is ourselves. \nComing from a small town in Maine\, Cole’s passion for art started very young\, like most other things about him did. He talked early\, walked early\, and was doing his best to draw his favorite things fairly early too. Plastered around the house\, in his parents’ offices at work\, or just sitting in piles at home were the many drawings Cole burned through\, usually subsisting of Dinosaurs or Japanese Kaiju causing havoc in small\, colorful crayon-drawn cities. As he aged\, he would continue to be seen as the kid constantly drawing rather than focusing on school work. Art pulled and pushed him through some of the rougher patches of his life\, and continues to this day to be a constant object of improvement and progression\, a pathway forward\, for this young man.  \n@kaiju__kid \n\nEVAN HAWKES\nThis series of sculptures is a beginning of exploration of the idea of modularity in three dimensions and its relation to the process of making instrumental music using synthesizer keyboards and complex digital music computer programs. These sculptures are simply visually abstract forms\, created by combining simple forms or “modules” in different materials. The definition of “modular” in these sculptures is loose\, allowing for more possibilities of what it could be. These sculptures are an experimentation of material and form. \nEvan Hawkes is a sculptor and multi-media artist. He was born in Albuquerque\, New Mexico in August 1996\, but grew up in Beverly. From a young age\, Evan knew he liked to draw and make things. In high school he played live music in bands\, and also made music digitally. \nHe is an experienced mason\, having worked for high-end companies\, and also has done solo work. He has experience shooting analog and digital photography and film\, recording sound\, and building with a wide range of materials. This combination of different skills and interests led Evan to study sculpture at Montserrat College of Art. \n@hawkes_evan \n\nSARAH JAYCOX\nIn my recent work I have been exploring themes of identity and self. My work is closely related to the environment and looks at humanity’s relationship with nature; we are all a part of the natural world and yet many of us view ourselves as separate from the environment that we exist in. With so much man made architecture in our day to day lives it’s easy to view nature as a place outside of our society rather than something that we were born from and carry with us in our very souls. \nThrough the performance piece titled “Take Care” I challenge the idea that we are separate from the natural world that spawned us. I set up a sacred space in the woods on a hiking trail in Beverly MA\, burned herbs to cleanse and soothe the soul\, and hung an enchanted mirror that lets the viewer see their best self in the reflection. This altar to the self was then opened to the public\, so that anyone who was willing to leave their man-made world and venture out into a different environment could cleanse their spirit and look at themselves with reverence. Humanity has become very out of touch with nature\, and that connection is a vital part of our identity. In order to find and accept the self\, we must find ourselves in nature. Through this work I hope to strengthen that connection within myself\, and open others minds to these ideas and ways of thinking. \nSarah Jaycox is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in the North Shore area who works primarily in sculpture. Their work focuses on environmentalism as well as self reflection and acceptance. Jaycox uses a wide array of techniques and mediums to explore humanity’s connection to nature\, the effect that connection has had on identity\, and vice versa.  \n@sarah_elyse_art  \n  \nMIKAYLA KING\n\n  \nFor almost my whole life\, I have been a dancer. It was one of the first artforms I learned to love and perform for many years. Trash is something we come across everyday\, and will continue to come across everyday\, it’s everywhere. Most of our trash ends up in the environment we live in. In my video work\, I incorporate and perform using these two very different subject matters that seem to never encounter each other. I bring the outside world inside by “polluting” my own home with my own trash that I’ve collected. I wanted to create a performance that would give trash a use once again and make it interesting to look at. Wearing my pointe shoes\, I create different visuals and sounds stepping\, kicking\, and dancing with the trash.  \nMikayla King is originally from Spencer\, MA and has received her BFA with a concentration in Photography/Video/Film from Montserrat College of Art in 2020. Mikayla completed an internship at Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester\, MA\, where she had the responsibility to capture\, document\, and edit footage of a variety of exhibitions and events. Such projects have varied from artist conversations\, art workshops\, lectures\, and musical performances.  \nShe is most interested in exploring and learning about different locations where she photographs a variety of subject matter that includes landscapes\, people and their cultures. Mikayla has travelled extensively\, most recently being to the American West\, Iceland and Spain. \n@mimzliz \n\nILEANA MARTINEZ\nWith this project I wanted to do some research into life during the pandemic. Seeing news outlets and other social media highlight odd occurrences with animals crossing into human life or having a positive impact with the lack of animal/human interaction was a fascination of mine\, especially when looking further into these stories and finding whether some of these things were factual or a hoax. I wanted to capture these instances in a narrative that illustrates animals and humans’ adaptation to life during a lockdown. This includes the good\, bad\, and odd that has changed the lives of people and animals. With each illustration you’ll be able to notice the subtle shift of some positive outcomes and some that seem more chaotic or unusual. As a whole\, my work revolves around capturing nature and animals while playing with color and contrast. Combining traditional and digital\, using mainly watercolor to bring it to a finish with texture and brush strokes  and then bringing it digital to play with color and depth. \nYou can find me in the mountains or down by the creek\, creating adventures and memories that inspire me in the work that I create. My work revolves around capturing nature\, animals\, and environments. If not together\, then individually show the beauty of natural life\, focus on specific elements\, and bring storytelling into my work. Many of my pieces combine traditional and digital. Using mainly watercolor\, which I find to be a very versatile material. From broad washes to small opaque lines for detail\, which can bring my work to a finish. I then get it into digital to play with color and depth and amplify contrast in lighting.  \n@I.Martinezstudios / imartinezstudio.com \n\nGREGORY PIERCE\n\n  \nHere is an animation about a sequestered creature trying to cope with its loneliness and the exquisite boredom of eternity. I designed this character to show the more eccentric side of my humor but also to delve into the psychology of an immortality being. This character has lived so long it has become distant from humanity. We usually see wizards or magical beings in movies or books in the jaws of some epic adventure. I thought it would be funny to show them in their downtime\, Trying to add some excitement to the mundanity of everyday life using obtuse spells and rituals to cause mayhem. Much the way we entertain ourselves with indulgent things\, the wizard seeks a magical cure for its boredom. I began set construction and design in the spring of 2019 and completed filming in October of 2020. \nI have always wanted to make cartoons and toys. Stop-motion animation let me combine my passions to create something that was entirely my own. In school\, I struggled to repress my creative energy and buckle down to traditional education. When I discovered the world of animation\, it quickly became my obsession. Experimenting with sculpture and puppets\, I was able to get more creative with my work. Every step was a new challenge\, from learning to edit to set & puppet construction. I looked towards my favorite artist to see what to do. What I realized was; that there was no real limit to what I could do. If I could build it and animate it\, I could bring my ideas to life\, no matter how absurd. \n@gregatr0n8 / @moonbatanimation \n\nDEONNE SOUSA\n\n  \nMy name is Deonne Sousa\, an animator whose primary focus lies mainly in digital work. When it comes to the works I create\, my goal is to evoke certain emotions out of my audience. I want the people who view what I create to feel particular emotions that can come in a range of forms\, some they may not have been expecting. The thing that matters to me is the way in which i can visually convey a story without the use or need for speech. I rely heavily on shot selection and character design to accomplish this. One of my biggest interests lies in exploring the complexities of people and I aim to share these through the works I create.  \nWith this piece “Mask” I wanted to try and make something that invoked both a humorous and kind of mysterious feeling. I wanted to leave the ending to be open to interpretation so that everyone can make their own assumption on what will happen next. The ultimate goal with this piece was to make something that was fun and lighthearted for the viewer to enjoy. \nDeonne Sousa is a Massachusetts born and raised animator. He has his associates in graphic design at Massasoit Community college for Art and his BFA in Animation and Interactive Media from Montserrat College of Art. He has worked on animations about learning disabilities. He was also in two exhibitions in Canton MA where he got to show his artistic prowess. Deonne Sousa is taking pride in his work as an African American artist who hopes to break out strong into the animation field. His strongest desire is to become a storyboard artist with the aspiration to even one day direct his own animated film. At the end of the day though\, Deonne is the kind of person who gets his own joy from someone finding their joy in his art. He’s always ready to spread happy vibes and puts that into every piece he creates. \n@dsousa90  \n
